Gibbs rushed 12 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Lions' 52-21 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Although Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown mostly stole the show in Detroit's jaw-dropping offensive breakout, Gibbs rather quietly put together a fruitful fantasy performance. The dynamic back outpaced David Montgomery by one carry and 37 rushing yards, with Gibbs' game-long 42-yard scamper the big difference between the two backfield mates. Gibbs also recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season on a six-yard run in the first quarter, which served to round out his production on a day where he was limited to a mid-level workload. Gibbs will look to navigate a particularly challenging matchup when the Lions travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in a Week 3 Monday night showdown on Sept. 22.

Henry rushed 11 times for 23 yards and wasn't targeted during the Ravens' 41-17 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Baltimore.

The offense ran through Lamar Jackson and his pass catchers Sunday, as the star signal-caller finished with four touchdown passes and turned in a turnover-free performance. In contrast, Henry was consistently bottled up, and considering eight of his yards came on one carry, he truly found next to no running room throughout the afternoon. After a spectacular first three-plus quarters of the new season, Henry's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse beginning with his critical fumble in the final quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Bills. His next opportunity to reverse course will come in a Week 3 home interconference clash against the Lions on Monday night, Sept. 22.

McCaffrey carried the ball 13 times for 55 yards and caught six of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints.

With the 49ers' offense missing a number of key players, including Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder), George Kittle (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee), McCaffrey put the team on his back and carried it to a second straight victory to begin the season. His seven-yard TD reception from Mac Jones just before halftime was McCaffrey's first score of the year, but he's topped 100 scrimmage yards in both of the Niners' games so far. In Week 3, he'll take aim at a Cardinals defense he didn't face during an injury-plagued 2024, but which he lit up for an incredible 364 combined yards and seven total touchdowns in their two 2023 meetings.

Hall rushed 10 times for 29 yards and caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Hall finished second on the team in both rushing yards and receiving yards, as Garrett Wilson (50) was the only Jet to reach double digits in the latter category. Justin Fields couldn't get anything going through the air prior to sustaining a concussion in the fourth quarter, and the lack of any passing threat made it hard for Hall to find any holes against a front-loaded Bills defense. Backup Braelon Allen handled just two carries, so at least Hall's locked in as the lead back heading into a Week 3 trip to Tampa Bay.

Cook rushed 21 times for 132 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for three yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

Cook once again operated as the clear lead back, as Ray Davis and Ty Johnson combined for just 30 scrimmage yards, with most of the backups' opportunities coming after the game was well in hand. Buffalo capitalized on a drive-extending roughing the passer penalty to open the scoring with a one-yard Cook rushing touchdown, and he added a 44-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to extend the lead to 20-0. Cook's versatile skill set allows him to stay heavily involved regardless of game script, and he has three total touchdowns heading into Thursday's Week 3 home game against the 0-2 Dolphins after racking up 18 scrimmage TDs in the 2024 regular season.

Mitchell (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Kansas City's matchup versus the Eagles on Sunday.

Mitchell will now be a healthy scratch for the second straight week as the Chiefs will once again only use three running backs. His next chance to play will be the team's Week 3 matchup versus the Giants next Sunday.

Goodson (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Broncos.

The reserve running back will sit out for the second time in as many games to open the season due to his elbow issue, despite managing to work back to a full practice Friday. In Goodson's ongoing absence, rookie fifth-round pick DJ Giddens, who recorded 12 carries for 41 yards in the Week 1 win over the Dolphins, once again will operate as the No. 2 back behind Jonathan Taylor. Meanwhile, Goodson will turn his attention to garnering active status for the first time this season in next Sunday's road matchup against the Titans.

McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

McLaughlin will be a healthy inactive for a second consecutive week, and his next opportunity to make his 2025 debut will be Week 3 against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 21. McLaughlin is stuck as the Broncos' fourth-string running back behind J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie.

Ali (concussion) is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The running back and special-teams asset was evaluated for a possible concussion during the first quarter. Ali recorded one solo tackle before exiting. Justice Hill is next in line to take over his kickoff-return duties.

Ali is getting evaluated for a possible concussion during Baltimore's matchup with Cleveland on Sunday.

The running back and special-teamer exited in the first quarter, but he did record a solo tackle before leaving the contest. Ali finished with 167 kickoff-return yards in the Ravens' 41-40 loss to the Bills in Week 1, and in his absence, Justice Hill might be next in line to return kicks.
