Davis rushed 20 times for 97 yards and caught all three of his targets for 55 yards in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.

Davis emerged as the Bills' top running back sans starter James Cook (toe) in Monday's narrow victory. The 24-year-old Davis wound up out-touching fellow backup Ty Johnson by 19 combined looks in absence of Buffalo's starter. Davis would make sense as the hot waiver add for fantasy managers, but Cook's toe injury requires monitoring for activation prior to a home matchup against the Titans in Week 7.

Hall rushed 18 times for 113 yards and caught five of six targets for 56 yards in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.

Hall broke out for a season-high 169 yards from scrimmage. He produced numerous chunk gains on the ground, including a 42-yard run, but the star running back was kept out of the end zone for a third consecutive game after opening the season on a three-game touchdown streak. Hall got 23 touches to Braelon Allen's three, so the former has reestablished his status as the team's bell-cow running back under new playcaller Todd Downing heading into a Week 7 trip to Pittsburgh.

Rodriguez reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.

Rodriguez was elevated ahead of a Week 6 loss to Baltimore with Brian Robinson (knee) unable to suit up. However, Rodriguez saw little action, logging zero offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps. Rodriguez has been elevated twice so far this season, and his likelihood of being active on game day again Week 7 could hinge upon whether Robinson needs to miss another game.

Williams reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The running back was elevated for Sunday's 51-27 win over the Saints with starter Rachaad White out with a foot injury. Williams did not see an offensive snap, as Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker handled 49 and 29 offensive snaps, respectively. Williams did play eight snaps on special teams and return two kicks for 54 yards.

Ward reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday.

Ward handled 10 percent of the snaps in the Week 6 win over the Steelers with Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out of the lineup, while Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren took on a bulk of the workload. Ward rushed three times for 13 yards and also played 11 special-teams snaps.

Miller reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The running back was elevated to the active roster for the second straight game due to Devin Singletary's groin injury. Miller, though, did not play an offensive snap in New York's 17-7 loss to Cincinnati. He did play on seven special-teams snaps and assisted on a tackle in punt coverage.

Jennings reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.

The running back got the call-up Sunday with starter Rhamondre Stevenson out with a foot injury. Jennings played on 14 of 66 offensive snaps in New England's 41-21 loss to Houston, recording five carries for 13 yards. The Patriots' top two running backs in the game, Antonio Gibson and JaMycal Hasty, handled 32 and 21 snaps, respectively.

McNichols took two carries for nine yards in a 30-23 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.

McNichols had 118 total yards and three TDs on 15 touches over the previous two games, taking on extra work with Austin Ekeler and then Brian Robinson (knee) limited/absent due to injuries. Robinson missed Sunday's game in Baltimore, but the Commanders didn't attempt many rushes against a stout run defense, and McNichols finished without a target despite playing 39 percent of snaps and running 17 routes (just three fewer than Ekeler). McNichols will almost certainly get more touches if Robinson misses another contest Week 7 against Carolina, but Ekeler would still be the much safer bet for volume and production.

Evans (hamstring) will remain on injured reserve ahead of Monday's Week 6 game against the Jets.

Evans was placed on IR just before the beginning of the regular season and was designated to return this past Wednesday. He logged a trio of full practices during the week, but the Bills aren't activating him for Monday Night Football despite the fact that lead running back James Cook won't play due to a toe injury. Evans' next opportunity to make his season debut will come Sunday, Oct. 20 versus Tennessee.

Cook (toe) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Jets.

After being deemed a non-participant in Thursday's practice and Friday's walkthrough, Cook logged a limited session Saturday before being listed as questionable for the contest. With Cook having been made inactive by the Bills on Monday, look for Ty Johnson and Ray Davis to lead the team's Week 6 backfield, with practice-squad elevation Frank Gore also on hand to provide depth.
