  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Nursing arm injury after Week 3 win

    Harris was wearing a sling around his right arm/elbow in the Steelers' locker room Monday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Harris didn't substitute out due to an apparent injury during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers, in which he rushed 18 times for 70 yards including Pittsburgh's final carry. He also caught all five of his targets for 16 yards, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin didn't mention an injury to Harris in his postgame press conference. Further clarity on Harris' health may not arrive until Wednesday, when Pittsburgh's first official injury report of Week 4 is revealed. If healthy, Harris will stand to continue handling a workhorse role Sunday on the road against Indianapolis.

  • 49ers' Isaac Guerendo: Earns five carries Sunday

    Guerendo rushed five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

    The five carries marked a new high-water mark for the rookie after receiving just one carry for no gain in his first two appearances with San Francisco. Guerendo was spelling fill-in starter Jordan Mason (19-77-0) on Sunday, a situation that could repeat itself against the Patriots on Sunday. The 2024 fourth-round pick only warrants fantasy consideration in the event that Mason is unable to suit up in the coming weeks.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Sees uptick in touches Week 3

    Tracy rushed five times for 23 yards and added two catches (on two targets) for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-15 win against Cleveland.

    Tracy's performance was highlighted by a 12-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter that helped set up New York's first touchdown. Overall, the rookie running back logged his most touches (seven) and highest total yardage (40) through three games this season. Veteran Devin Singletary posted a 16-65-1 line on the ground and a 4-43-0 line through the air Sunday and remains the Giants' lead back, but Tracy appears to be distancing himself from second-year RB Eric Gray for the backup role. Gray had just one touch Week 3 and played on only three of New York's offensive snaps to Tracy's 22.

  • Avery Williams RB | NYJ

    Falcons' Avery Williams: Operates exclusively on teams

    Williams returned two punts for 12 yards and one kickoff for 28 yards during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    For the second time in three weeks, Williams didn't see the field on offense. He's the primary return man for Atlanta, but he ceded a kickoff to Ray-Ray McCloud versus the Chiefs. Through three games, Williams has totaled 51 punt-return yards and 50 kick-return yards.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Limited work again

    Allgeier rushed seven times for 32 yards during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Allgeier was on the field for only 13 offensive snaps. He's played around 20 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps through three weeks, but when he's out there, the backup RB is heavily involved, recording 20 touches on 35 snaps. Allgeier boasts a solid 5.6 yards per carry thus far, showing signs of his rookie campaign in 2022 when he rushed for 1,035 yards and averaged 4.9 yards per carry. Last year, Allgeier averaged only 3.7 yards per carry. Regardless, Bijan Robinson remains the star of the Falcons backfield, leaving Allgeier as merely an insurance policy in fantasy.

  • Deuce Vaughn RB | DEN

    Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Minimal workload Sunday

    Vaughn carried the ball twice for five yards and caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

    Rico Dowdle (3.8 yards per carry on the season) and Ezekiel Elliott (3.3 yards per carry) continue to be very unimpressive as the Cowboys' two lead running backs, but that hasn't resulted in Vaughn getting much of a chance to prove himself. The 2023 sixth-round pick is only averaging 2.9 yards per carry himself on seven totes through three games, so he hasn't made a strong case for a bigger role heading into a Week 4 clash with the Giants.

  • Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR

    Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Pair of touches in victory

    Rivers rushed twice for nine yards during Sunday's 27-24 victory against San Francisco.

    Kyren Williams (24-89-2 rushing line Sunday) is locked in as the starter for the Rams, but Rivers continued to work as the backup. The third-year pro converted a pivotal fourth down on a fake punt, keeping alive a drive that ended in a receiving touchdown for Williams. Notably, third-round rookie Blake Corum didn't take a snap on offense for the second time in three games, meaning Rivers seems firmly locked in as the backup to Williams, at least for now. Rivers likely will continue to have a limited role in the offense in a Week 4 contest against the Bears.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: No usage on offense

    Corum didn't play a snap on offense and played seven snaps on special teams during Sunday's 27-24 victory against San Francisco.

    It was another monster night for Kyren Williams (24-89-2) on the ground, and Ronnie Rivers was the only other running back to mix into the offense, turning his six snaps into two carries for nine yards. Corum's usage on special teams was actually the lowest it's been all season as well. Barring injury, the third-round rookie seems unlikely to make an impact any time soon for the Rams, as head coach Sean McVay has continued feeding Williams with the vast majority of touches at running back in a similar fashion to how he used him in the 2023 season.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Quiet in loss to Seattle

    Wilson rushed three times for 14 yards during Miami's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Wilson handled a similar volume to Jaylen Wright (two carries for 17 yards) behind De'Von Achane with Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined again, but the game script didn't favor Miami's running game. The Dolphins' offense struggled mightily with Skylar Thompson (ribs) and Tim Boyle under center versus an aggressive Seattle defense. Wilson and the Dolphins' offense will look to improve in Week 4 against the Titans on Monday Night Football.

  • Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Records seven touches in victory

    Patterson rushed four times for 33 yards while securing three of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

    Patterson was on the field for 34 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, which was tied with fellow backup running back Jaylen Warren. However, Patterson saw more work than Warren and was efficient with his touches. Patterson totaled just 16 rushing yards over the first two weeks of the regular season, but it was encouraging to see him more involved against the Chargers.
