  • Jonah Coleman RB | DEN

    Broncos' Jonah Coleman: Plays expanded role in win

    Coleman rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 19 yards in the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    RJ Harvey (hamstring) was inactive and J.K. Dobbins exited the game with a hamstring injury of his own, opening the door for Coleman to enjoy an expanded role in his only his second NFL regular-season game. The rookie fourth-round pick also scored what turned out to be game-winning touchdown on a three-yard run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter, and he could be in line for a robust workload once again in a Week 3 interconference matchup against the Rams next Sunday night if either or both of Harvey and Dobbins are unavailable.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Totals 35 yards in loss

    Marks rushed eight times for eight yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals. He added five catches for 27 yards on six targets.

    Neither Marks nor David Montgomery (6-10-0 rushing) could get anything going on the ground against Cincinnati, as C.J. Stroud was actually the team's leading rusher with three carries for 29 yards. In the passing game, Marks out-targeted Montgomery six to two, as Montgomery turned in a 2-14-0 receiving line. The backfield duo split snaps essentially right down the middle for the second straight week, as Montgomery played 42 snaps to Marks' 38 against the Bengals. Marks is an RB3/4 heading into Week 3 against the Colts. Montgomery remains the favorite for goal-line work.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Seven touches in loss

    Allgeier turned five carries into 10 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

    Allgeier saw a substantial reduction in his rush attempts in Week 2, going from 17 carries Week 1 versus the Chargers to only having five in Sunday's blowout loss. The running back and the rest of Arizona's offense never found any sort of sustained success against Seattle, so he was far from being the only disappointing player in the contest. Notably, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love garnered four more carries and reeled in one more catch than Allgeier, and the latter figures to fade into a No. 2 role as the season progresses.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Totals 67 yards in Week 2 blowout loss

    Robinson rushed 11 times for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers. He added two catches for 16 yards on two targets.

    Eight of Robinson's 13 touches came in the fourth quarter with the Falcons trailing by 31 points. It's evident he's the running back to stash behind Bijan Robinson, but Brian doesn't offer much standalone value in this anemic Atlanta offense.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Records rush TD in loss

    Tuten rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for minus-3 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Tuten worked as the Jaguars' clear lead back for the second time in as many games to open the season, even though his rushing workload was relatively modest Sunday. Tuten got into the end zone for the first time this season on a one-yard run early in the second quarter, and he was efficient overall against a high-caliber defense. Tuten figures to remain in the same role for a Week 3 home showdown against the defending AFC champion Patriots next Sunday.

  • Jaguars' Chris Rodriguez: Minimal output again in Week 2

    Rodriguez rushed six times for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    For the second straight game to open the season, Rodriguez operated as the clear RB2 for the Jaguars behind Bhayshul Tuten, who rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown as the lead back. Tuten also out-targeted Rodriguez two to zero. Through two games, Rodriguez has a meager 36 yards on 12 carries, averaging a pitiful 3.0 yards per carry. He's not usable in fantasy ahead of a tough Week 3 date with New England.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Catches TD in Week 2 win

    Lloyd rushed six times for 20 yards in the Packers' 20-17 overtime win over the Jets on Sunday. He added two catches for six yards and a touchdown on two targets.

    Lloyd got the start out of the backfield for Green Bay and scored his first career regular-season touchdown with a six-yard catch in the second quarter. That's the good news. The bad news is Lloyd played a total of just 16 offensive snaps and lost a fumble deep in his own territory early in the fourth quarter. He never touched the ball again following the fumble, as Kaleb Johnson took over as the early-down back in overtime, with Chris Brooks remaining the preferred option in passing situations. Lloyd gets a dream matchup with the Falcons on Thursday night, but it's fair to wonder about his role headed into that Week 3 contest.

  • Buccaneers' Kenny Gainwell: Totals 15 yards in loss

    Gainwell rushed two times for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns. He added three catches for five yards on four targets.

    The 27-year-old's role through two games with Tampa Bay has been a far cry from his elite pass-catching role alongside Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh last season. Bucky Irving out-carried Gainwell 17 to two against Cleveland, and he's been out-targeted 11 to five by Irving through two contests. Gainwell has shown no chance at a ceiling performance with Baker Mayfield and has devolved to RB4 territory until he shows up more in the box score.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Compiles 50 total yards in win

    Williams rushed 12 times for 30 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

    The Commanders' front more than held its own against the Cowboys' offensive line, leading Williams to scratch and claw for yardage while Dak Prescott carved up Washington's defense through the air. Williams still played a clear lead role despite the modest amount of rush attempts, and he was once again an important complementary option in the passing game. Williams has another tough assignment on tap in Week 3, as the Cowboys welcome in the Ravens next Sunday.

  • Kaelon Black RB | SF

    49ers' Kaelon Black: Seven touches to CMC's 14

    Black (groin) rushed seven times for 25 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins.

    Black suited up for his second NFL contest after being listed as questionable coming into the game. He actually had two more rushing yards than Christian McCaffrey, but McCaffrey scored two touchdowns on 10 carries and added four catches for 43 yards. Black is poised to continue splitting the rushing workload with CMC in Week 3 against the Cardinals, though McCaffrey remains the preferred option in valuable goal-line and passing situations.
