Monangai rushed seven times for 28 yards and caught one of three targets for eight yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Monangai saw extended work in a game during which the Bears were blown out, and he is the clear No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift in the Chicago backfield in a game for which Roschon Johnson was active. The rookie may not see consistent work, but Monangai could be in line for a sizable backfield role should Swift miss time.

Dobbins rushed the ball 14 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts. He added one reception on two targets for nine yards.

Dobbins continued to work clearly as the top back in Denver, tallying 15 touches compared to six for RJ Harvey. Dobbins was also the more effective back, highlighted by long runs of 23 and 18 yards. The primary negative to his performance came near the goal line, as he was stuffed from the one-yard line on two separate drives before finally scoring from five yards away early in the third quarter. While those were lost opportunities for Dobbins, he has found the end zone in each of Denver's first two games while combining to rush for 138 yards.

Jones (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jones was having a quiet game prior to his fourth-quarter injury, with just five carries for 23 yards and no catches on one target. Jordan Mason will handle the bulk of the backfield workload for the Vikings if Jones remains out.

Ford rushed six times for 31 yards, brought in five of six targets for 23 yards and returned four kickoffs for 81 yards in the Browns' 41-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Although debuting rookie Quinshon Judkins paced the ground attack with 10 rush attempts, Ford still logged two more carries than Dylan Sampson, who'd garnered more work than the veteran in Week 1. Ford also tied Harold Fannin for the team lead in receptions, and he filled the role of primary kickoff returner. Judkins' role figures to only grow moving forward, however, so how long Ford can remain truly relevant in the offense of a non-contending team while also navigating Sampson's presence remains to be seen.

Davis didn't record a rushing attempt and caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills. He also returned five kickoffs for 134 yards.

Davis continues to function as the third option on the running back depth chart behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Most of Davis' contributions in the short term will likely come on special teams. Davis has taken over as the primary kickoff returner in the absence of Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) after the Jets waived Xavier Gipson.

Allen rushed twice for 11 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Allen had just two touches to Breece Hall's 12, suggesting the former remains a distant second on the Jets' depth chart. The entire offense struggled in this one and actually picked up the pace down the stretch after Justin Fields (concussion) exited in the fourth quarter. Allen's outlook is unlikely to change if Fields misses additional action, in which case Tyrod Taylor would start under center.

Tuten rushed eight times for 42 yards and secured both targets for 32 yards and a touchdown while also returning one kickoff for 26 yards in the Jaguars' 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

In his first game without the traded Tank Bigsby on the roster, Tuten served as the clear No. 2 back behind Travis Etienne, logging a relatively modest six fewer carries than his backfield mate. Tuten also struck for his first NFL touchdown through the air, as he recorded an eight-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter. Tuten's five-carry boost from Week 1 was encouraging and confirmation of his status as the main complementary option to Etienne, and he'll look to carry over his momentum into a Week 3 home divisional showdown against the Texans next Sunday afternoon.

Conner took 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over Carolina.

Conner re-established himself as Arizona's lead back Sunday after Trey Benson led the team in rushing in Week 1. The latter received just three carries with most of his work coming in the passing game, while Conner handled a team-high 11 carries and hit pay dirt for the second time in as many weeks. Both talented backs figure to remain involved moving forward, but fantasy managers who roster Conner have to be relieved seeing the workload distribution tip back in his favor. The Cardinals' next matchup comes against the 49ers next Sunday in a battle of 2-0 NFC West squads.

Hubbard rushed 10 times for 38 yards and caught five of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

Hubbard salvaged another pedestrian rushing performance with a late receiving touchdown in the Panthers' second loss of the season. The 26-year-old starter snuck out of the backfield for a five-yard score in the fourth quarter, also scoring the ensuing two-point attempt for good measure. Hubbard continues to dominate the backfield touches in Carolina, making him a starting level fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Atlanta.

Taylor recorded 25 carries for 165 yards in Sunday's 29-28 win over the Broncos. He added two receptions on two targets for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Taylor delivered a key run of 68 yards early in the fourth quarter to set up a field goal for the Colts while also accounting for the team's longest play from scrimmage. He was efficient on the ground beyond that single carry, logging a pair of both 10 and nine-yard gains. Taylor also got involved as a pass catcher, taking a swing pass for 43 yards late in the first quarter before catching a touchdown on a similar play from seven yards away one quarter later. It was an excellent performance all around and marked the sixth time in Taylor's career that he's topped 200 yards from scrimmage.
