Williams rushed 24 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns while adding 27 yards and a third score on two receptions in Sunday's 27-24 win over San Francisco.

Williams pounded in his third and fourth rushing touchdowns of the season in the Rams' first win of 2024. Los Angeles' lead back ceded just two touches to backup Ronnie Rivers, further cementing his status as a fantasy stud given the Rams' current lack of superstars on offense. Williams should be an automatic fantasy start ahead of a Week 4 matchup against Chicago.

Charbonnet rushed 18 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins. He added three receptions (four targets) for 16 yards as a receiver.

Charbonnet finally put opportunity and skill together to give fantasy managers a strong stat line against Miami in Week 3. The 23-year-old has contributed three touchdowns through three games for Seattle this season, giving him fantasy value heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Lions next Monday. That said, longtime starter Kenneth Walker (oblique) was spotted in practice this week, so Charbonnet could find himself back in his No. 2 role if the former is able to suit against Detroit.

McClellan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

McClellan has been inactive for all three games to open the season. He's behind Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and return man Avery Williams on the backfield depth chart in Atlanta.

Jones carried the ball 19 times for 102 yards and caught five of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

The veteran running back brought in his first receiving score of the season, and second total TD, late in the first quarter on an eight-yard toss from Sam Darnold. The rushing yards were also a season high for Jones, who is averaging a whopping 5.4 yards per carry through his first three games as a Viking. He'll look to keep rolling, and put together a revenge game, in Week 4 against the Packers -- the team he starred with for the first seven seasons of his career.

Akers carried the ball nine times for 21 yards and caught one of three targets for an eight-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

The game got away from the Texans early, and Akers was bottled up when Houston tried to get its ground attack going. The running back did haul in a third-quarter TD from C.J. Stroud, however, which was his first score of the season. Akers' lead role Sunday was the result of an ankle injury to Joe Mixon, and if Mixon is able to return in Week 4 against the Jaguars, Akers' touch volume will almost certainly decline.

Taylor carried the ball 23 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bears. He also caught one of two targets for 25 yards.

The fifth-year running back might have had a third score, but he got a breather after gaining a total of 46 yards on back-to-back plays in the third quarter and watched Trey Sermon finish off the drive with a one-yard TD run. Taylor is the clear focal point of the Colts' offense while Anthony Richardson struggles to move the ball consistently through the air, and that role has resulted in consecutive 100-yard rushing efforts and three touchdowns through three games. Taylor will likely be busy again in a tough Week 4 matchup against the Steelers.

Jacobs rushed the ball 14 times for 43 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Titans. He added one reception on one target for five yards.

Jacobs saw his fewest carries of the season, seemingly in part due to game plan but also due to ineffectiveness, as he had only 11 yards on seven carries at halftime. Jacobs salvaged his day to some degree with a 10-yard gain late in the fourth quarter, and he also had a 23-yard rush wiped away by a penalty on the next play, but it was still a subpar performance. He should see plenty of work in Week 4 against Minnesota, and the return of Jordan Love (knee) could help both his volume and efficiency return to a more normal level.

Kamara logged 26 rushes for 87 yards and gathered in all three targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 15-12 loss to the Eagles.

Kamara had to shoulder a bigger workload due to Taysom Hill being sidelined due a bruised lung, as Hill was the Saints' No. 2 rushing option while taking handoffs and direct snaps out of the shotgun over the first two weeks of the season. In his absence, Kamara logged a season high in touches, and this was his first game with over 25 rushing attempts since the 2021 season. However, the Saints logged just one rushing attempt of over 16 yards against the Eagles' defense. Kamara also didn't see nearly as many scoring opportunities compared to his four-touchdown outing last week, as the Saints ran just eight total plays from within the Eagles' red zone. He'll look to find his way back into the end zone Sunday against Atlanta.

Badie rushed nine times for 70 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Badie saw plenty of action in the second half, and he easily outpaced Javonte Williams with the help of a game-long 43-yard run. The 2022 sixth-round pick had come into the game with just two touches on the season, but his performance Sunday coupled with Williams' considerable inefficiency over the first three weeks of the season could begin to result in more playing time for Badie going into a Week 4 road battle against the Jets.

Swift carried the ball 13 times for 20 yards and caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.

Even with DeForest Buckner (ankle) missing from the Indianapolis front seven, Swift couldn't get anything going on the ground behind Chicago's poor offensive line. Roschon Johnson, who failed to get an offensive snap through the first two games of the season, actually led the Bears in rushing yards on the afternoon with 30 on eight carries. Swift's usage as a receiver is keeping his production from completely bottoming out, but it's been a bleak start to his Bears tenure with just 1.7 yards per carry so far. He'll try to pick up the pace in Week 4 against the Rams.
