  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Active versus Buffalo

    Bigsby (shoulder) is active for Monday night's game against the Bills.

    After being a limited practice participant this past week, Bigsby approached the contest listed as questionable. With his active status versus Buffalo confirmed, the 2023 third-rounder will provide the Jaguars with a complementary option in a backfield led by Travis Etienne. Also in the team's Week 3 RB mix is D'Ernest Johnson, who saw added work in last weekend's loss to the Browns after Bigsby was shaken up on a kickoff play in the second quarter.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Minimal role on offense again

    Goodson did not have a carry or target in Sunday's win over Chicago. He played just two snaps on offense.

    Goodson is a clear third running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Trey Sermon. Goodson could get more playing time in passing situations when the Colts are trailing, but he's unlikely to log significant snaps unless one of the top two running backs are hurt.

  • Ty Chandler RB | NO

    Vikings' Ty Chandler: Just seven carries in win

    Chandler had seven carries for 13 yards in Sunday's win over Houston.

    Chandler played on 22 of the offense's 63 snaps as Aaron Jones got the bulk of work. Jones had 19 carries for 102 yards and five receptions for 46 yards and a touchdown while playing on 38 snaps on offense. Chandler will have more productive games like in Week 2 (10 carries for 82 yards) but will likely see a smaller workload when Jones is healthy and rolling.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Colts' Trey Sermon: Scores TD in win

    Sermon had two carries for 16 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over Chicago.

    Sermon played on just five of the offense's 56 snaps but had a short-yardage touchdown when he gave Jonathan Taylor some time off. Unlike Week 2, Taylor was used extensively in the fourth quarter. While it's possible Sermon could be used more frequently in passing situations as the primary backup running back, he's only going to get a small workload if the Colts are not playing from far behind if Taylor is healthy.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Getting MRI on knee

    Warren (knee) is slated to undergo an MRI on his knee Monday, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

    Coach Mike Tomlin said after Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers that he noticed Warren "wasn't running smoothly" and decided to pull the running back from the game, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. Prior to exiting, Warren rushed just three times for 10 yards while securing his only target for minus-1 yard. If MRI results reveal an injury that could force Warren to miss any time, Cordarrelle Patterson will likely play an increased role against the Colts in Week 4, especially with Najee Harris (arm) having been spotted wearing a sling in the locker room Monday.

  • 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.
