  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Slowed down by Panthers

    Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 29 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers. He added five receptions on eight targets for five yards.

    The Cowboys were forced into a relatively pass-heavy game script as they kept pace with the Panthers. That limited Williams to a season-low 13 carries, but the primary issue was his lack of efficiency. Williams' longest rush went for only six yards, and his longest reception was good for only nine yards. The positive takeaway is that Williams earned 18 touches and the next closest Dallas back (Jaydon Blue) had only three. Williams should have a strong chance to bounce back in Week 7 against Washington.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Stuffed by Saints in Week 6

    Stevenson carried the ball 13 times for 18 yards in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints. He failed to catch his only target.

    The fifth-year RB avoided committing another fumble, but that was about the only silver lining to his performance. Stevenson has failed to reach 40 rushing yards in four straight games, producing a woeful 2.7 YPC over that stretch, and only a couple Week 5 rushing TDs have salvaged any real fantasy value for him during that span. TreVeyon Henderson hasn't had much more success, so the duo will likely continue to work in a timeshare in Week 7 against the Titans.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Does little with 11 touches

    Walker rushed 10 times for 34 yards and brought in his only target for three yards in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Walker logged two fewer carries than Zach Charbonnet, but he outgained his teammate by 10 rushing yards, as neither back was particularly efficient during the defense-centric battle. The fourth-year pro's yardage total represented quite the downturn after he'd topped the 80-yard mark in each of the previous two games, and Charbonnet's workload is somewhat of a concern for the moment for Walker's fantasy managers. It remains to be seen if a similar timeshare will apply moving forward, but neither player has a particularly bright outlook for a Week 7 home matchup against a tough Texans defense on Monday night, Oct. 20.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Scores twice to beat Bengals

    Jacobs rushed the ball 18 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals. He added five receptions on five targets for 57 yards.

    The Packers had an efficient offensive day, both on the ground and through the air. Jacobs unsurprisingly led the way as a rusher, ripping off long runs of 16 and 14 yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown to kick off the fourth quarter. He also turned in his third straight game with at least four catches. Despite not reaching 100 rushing yards in any game, Jacobs has found the end zone six times in five contests and remains one of the most reliable fantasy contributors at running back.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Scores first rushing TD this season

    McCaffrey took 17 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown while hauling in seven of eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

    McCaffrey scored his first regular-season touchdown since the 2023 campaign after being held out of the end zone as a runner over his previous five starts this year and all four healthy appearances in 2024. The dual-threat superstar has been in the doldrums as a pure rusher this season (3.1 YPC), but he has offset that with WR1 production as a receiver (46-444-3). In fact, CMC has finished with more receiving yards than rushing yards in five of his six starts this year, highlighting a peculiar start to his game logs. Fantasy managers could care less how their workhorse gets his numbers so long as the overall production is elite, as it has been all season. McCaffrey will likely be asked to continue shouldering the load for the 49ers' offense against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 7.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Heavy involvement in win

    Jeanty rushed 23 times for 75 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 20-10 victory over the Titans.

    Jeanty ground out a solid fantasy day by scoring his third rushing touchdown of the year on a season-high 23 carries. Veteran backup Raheem Mostert (five carries) was the only other rusher to record a touch in the win, highlighting Jeanty's stranglehold on the every-down role out of Las Vegas' backfield. The sixth overall pick from this year's draft has generated 497 combined yards from scrimmage with five total touchdowns through six starts in 2025. Jeanty's offensive involvement has increased with an average of 22.3 touches over the Raiders' last three contests. Fantasy managers can start the Boise State product with confidence for next Sunday's road tilt against the Chiefs.

  • Dylan Laube RB | LV

    Raiders' Dylan Laube: Questionable to return

    Laube (hamstring) is questionable to return to Las Vegas' matchup versus the Titans on Sunday.

    Laube left the field during the second half, and the severity of his injury is currently unclear. With Zamir White (coach's decision) inactive, Ashton Jeanty and Raheem Mostert would be the only healthy running backs on the team if Laube is unable to return.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Gets into end zone Sunday

    Knight rushed 11 times for 34 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 20 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Knight went into the game set for lead-back duties, but he outpaced backfield mate Michael Carter by only two carries when all was said and done. Knight did record a one-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter and had a nice gain on his one reception, but it's likely the two backs continue in a close timeshare during a Week 7 home matchup against a talented Packers defense.

  • Michael Carter RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Carter: Solid in complementary role Sunday

    Carter rushed nine times for 34 yards and brought in two of five targets for 30 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Prior to the game, it was announced that Bam Knight would serve in the lead-back role, theoretically relegating Carter to complementary duties. However, Carter ended up lagging just two carries behind Knight while equaling his teammate's rushing yardage, and he provided a nice chunk play as a receiver with a 16-yard catch. Although Knight did score a short rushing touchdown, the gap between the two players doesn't seem to be much heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday afternoon.

  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Stymied in Week 6 loss

    Etienne rushed 12 times for 27 yards and brought in four of five targets for 28 yards in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Etienne was absolutely stonewalled on the ground by a talented Seahawks front seven, although he was able to partly atone for the shortfall with a solid day through the air that saw him post new season highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The fifth-year back now has back-to-back 12-carry tallies after opening the season with at least 14 rush attempts in each of the first four games, but he remains the Jaguars' unquestioned No. 1 back and next faces a Rams defense that was gashed by the Ravens' Derrick Henry in Week 6.
