Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman rushed 20 times for 111 yards and caught three passes on five targets for four receiving yards Sunday against the Browns.

Hillman has both of the team's 100-yard rushing games this season and finally seemed to pass C.J. Anderson in the pecking order for carries. However, Anderson got most of the attempts in overtime. It appears likely that the two will share touches until one really separates from the other, which won't happen until after the bye.

Zenner (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Zenner handled just three carries before leaving in the first half. With Zenner and Joique Bell (ankle) sidelined, Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick (groin) will head the Lions' backfield.

Seahawks premier back Marshawn Lynch (hamstring) has been cleared for Sunday against Carolina.

Lynch was able to practice fully both Thursday and Friday, so look for him to head the backfield with Thomas Rawls and Fred Jackson backing up.

Lions running back Zach Zenner suffered a chest injury Sunday against Chicago and is questionable to return, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

With Joique Bell (ankle) inactive, Zenner was among three healthy backs in Detroit, taking three carries for 15 yards before his departure.

Titans disappointing running back Terrance West is inactive for the Week 6 battle against Miami.

West will remain in street clothes for the third straight week, as he's since been surpassed on the depth chart by Antonio Andrews.

Grimes (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

With starter Arian Foster able to handle a heavy workload these days, Grimes is a speculative play in fantasy as long as Foster can stay healthy.

Draughn (back) is active Sunday against the Broncos.

Draughn will suit up to provide Cleveland with backfield depth, but isn't expected to see a significant role in the offense. Even though Isaiah Crowell has been dealing with a toe injury, he'll be active for the contest and should split the bulk of the carries with rookie Duke Johnson. Robert Turbin (ankle) is also making his first appearance for the Browns this season, further clouding the pecking order for carries behind Crowell/Johnson.

Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

McCoy is out there if you need him, with ESPN's Bob Holtzman relaying that the running back said that his hamstring feels "a lot better" and expects to see his share of work Sunday. Thus, look for McCoy to head the team's Week 6 backfield, as long as his hamstring holds up, with Dan Herron and Anthony Dixon are on hand in the event that McCoy suffers any in-game setbacks Sunday.

Jones (toe) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.

Jones was listed as questionable to play but apparently couldn't do enough in warmups to warrant playing. Alfred Morris and Chris Thompson are expected to share the backfield touches in Jones' absence, though the Jets boast one of the best run-stopping defensive lines in the league.

Thompson (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Browns.

Thompson was unable to practice fully this week after suffering the injury last Sunday against the Raiders, though his fantasy upside wasn't that high anyway, as C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman continue to get a vast majority of the backfield touches.
