Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Scores game-winning TD
White rushed 10 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for one yard in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night. He also recovered a Baker Mayfield fumble.
White logged seven fewer carries than backfield mate Bucky Irving, but the former finished with only six fewer rushing yards. Additionally, White was the only one of the two backs to cross the goal line, powering in off right guard with six seconds remaining for the game-winning touchdown. White is still a clear complementary option to Irvin, but after taking only two carries in the Week 1 win over the Falcons, his workload boost Monday night was encouraging for fantasy managers. White next takes aim at a Jets defense Week 3 that just allowed 132 yards on 21 carries to the Bills' James Cook on Sunday.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Exceeds 120 total yards in win
Irving rushed 17 times for 71 yards and brought in all six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.
Backfield mate Rachaad White actually took the first touch of the night for the Buccaneers, but Irving went on to gain 16 yards on his first two carries later in the opening possession. The Texans were able to clamp down on Irving more consistently as the game unfolded, but the versatile second-year back helped make up for some inefficiency with his work as a receiver. Irving particularly came up big on Tampa Bay's game-winning drive, recording four of his catches for a total of 39 yards. White would go on to punch in the game-winning score, but Irving still outpaced him by seven carries and four targets. The duo should continue in a timeshare that clearly tilts in Irving's favor during a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: No offensive snaps in Eagles debut
Bigsby did not see the field for any offensive snaps in his Eagles debut Sunday against the Chiefs.
Acquired from the Jaguars for a fifth- and sixth-round draft pick at the start of the week, Bigsby was not yet part of the Eagles' offensive gameplan. His only snaps came on special teams. He'll compete with Will Shipley (ribs) and AJ Dillon for the backup role behind Saquon Barkley once he's more integrated with his new team.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Raiders' Raheem Mostert: Healthy scratch again
Mostert (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Chargers.
The veteran running back will be in street clothes for a second-straight week. It seems that Mostert is unlikely to suit up on game day unless Ashton Jeanty, Zamir White or Dylan Laube were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension. Mostert's next chance to play is Week 3 against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 21.

AJ Dillon RB | CAR
Eagles' AJ Dillon: Small role as Barkley's backup
Dillon was elevated to No. 2 running back for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to Will Shipley's rib injury but carried the ball just three times for 19 yards.
Dillon had at least 178 carries for three straight seasons with the Packers before missing 2024 with a neck injury, but his role in Philadelphia seems destined to be much smaller. He played just eight offensive snaps in the season opener and just nine in Week 2, carrying the ball just three times in each game. It would take an injury to Saquon Barkley for Dillon's role to significantly expand.

Jordan Mims RB | SF
Jordan Mims: Goes back to practice squad
Mims reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Mims was elevated for Week 2 against the Rams and logged nine special-teams snaps, recording one tackle. Mims' likelihood of being elevated again for Week 3 may hinge on whether Kalel Mullings (ankle) is able to suit up.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
Jeff Wilson: Back to practice squad
Wilson reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.
Wilson was elevated to the Dolphins' active roster for a second straight week but saw minimal work on special teams during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots. The veteran running back is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time, at which point the Dolphins would have to sign Wilson to the active roster in order for him to be available for the rest of the season.

Adam Prentice FB | DEN
Adam Prentice: Reverts to practice squad
Prentice reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday.
Prentice saw playing time on both offense and special teams but failed to record any stats during Sunday's loss versus the Colts. He also played in the team's Week 1 win over the Titans and could be called up once again for next week's matchup versus the Chargers

Ulysses Bentley IV RB | IND
Ulysses Bentley: Reverts to practice squad
Bentley reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Bentley was active for Sunday's Week 2 win over the Broncos but didn't see any action in the contest. He's been elevated ahead of each of Indianapolis' first two games but has yet to register an offensive touch.

Jarquez Hunter RB | LAR
Rams' Jarquez Hunter: Makes debut on special teams
Hunter logged six snaps on special teams during Sunday's 33-19 win against the Titans.
Hunter made his regular-season debut Sunday after being a healthy scratch in Week 1, but he never got an opportunity to take the field on offense. Kyren Williams (17-66-0) and Blake Corum (5-44-1) handled the entire rushing load for the Rams, and given head coach Sean McVay's proclivity to feed Williams the vast majority of touches at running back over the past few seasons, Hunter will likely find it hard to make an impact this year barring an injury ahead of him on the depth chart.
