Cunningham is questionable to return to Sunday's game agaisnt the Cardinals after suffering a hamstring injury, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.

Cunningham suffered his injury early in the second half of Sunday's tilt, though the specifics of the issue are still unclear. Malcolm Brown will be the primary backup to Todd Gurley as long as Cunningham is out.

Jones rushed 22 times for 117 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 21 additional yards in Sunday's 31-20 win over Cleveland.

Jones turned a career-high number of carries into his second-best rushing total as a pro. The second-year running back out of Florida generally takes a back seat to quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Redskins passing game, but he got much more involved with Washington playing with a lead for the majority of the fourth quarter. He's averaging a solid 4.5 yards per carry through four games.

Michael gained 58 yards on 18 carries and caught five of six targets for 32 yards and with a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.

With Thomas Rawls (ankle) inactive, Michael dominated the backfield touches, ceding only three carries to other runners and ranking second on the team in targets and receptions as well. Michael has averaged 89.5 total yards per game while reaching the end zone three times in the season's first four weeks, and he should carry a heavy load for as long as Rawls remains sidelined, despite the signing of C.J. Spiller earlier this week. Seattle will now enjoy a bye before hosting the Falcons in Week 6.

Martin (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 tilt against the Broncos, the team's official site reports.

The Bucs' No. 1 back will miss his second straight contest, but has an outside chance of playing in the Week 5 showdown with the Panthers. Charles Sims and Jacquizz Rodgers will once again serve as the primary ball carriers in Week 4 against a tough Broncos D.

Washington suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Bears and his return is questionable, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Washington's absence for the time being will allow for Theo Riddick and Zach Zenner to see additional reps at running back. The severity of Washington's ankle issue is a bit unclear at this point, but an update should become available upon the release of more information.

Prior to Sunday's game against the Jets, general manager John Schneider said that Rawls (ankle) "is going to be out another month, or approximately a month," Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports.

The Seahawks haven't clarified the nature of Rawls' fibula injury, but he's logging his second DNP in a row Sunday. Another month of rehabilitation will translate to sustained relevance for Christine Michael, who is 11 yards shy of his career high in rushing yards (243) established last year in stints with the Cowboys and Seahawks.

Carey (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Lions.

Carey has missed every practice in advance of the last two games due to an injured hamstring. Joining Carey on the sideline is Jeremy Langford (ankle), thereby allowing rookie Jordan Howard unfettered access to touches out of the Bears' backfield.

Grimes (ankle) is inactive for the Texans' Week 4 tilt versus the Titans, the team's official site reports.

The reserve running back will reportedly miss at least a month with his injury, providing Alfred Blue and Tyler Ervin unfettered access to the backup tailback touches behind Lamar Miller.

West is in line to lead the Baltimore backfield with Justin Forsett (coach's decision) landing on the inactive list Sunday afternoon.

West will presumably take on the starting role, while Javorius Allen is set to serve as the backup for the matchup against Oakland. The Raiders are allowing 5.1 yards per carry to opposing backs this season, which is tied with Detroit for the worst in the NFL through three games. If West gets a full workload, the favorable matchup could result in a big fantasy day.

West will start for the Ravens on Sunday against the Raiders, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

We'll see how they split carries, but if West sees a starter's workload he's worth a look against what's been a weak defense so far.
