Allen rushed 24 times for 116 yards and a touchdown while catching one of four targets for no gain in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns.

Allen ran in the go-ahead 22-yard touchdown with 3:01 remaining, and the Jets' defense held twice after that to secure the team's second win of the season. The 2024 fourth-round pick handled lead-back duties for the second consecutive game in the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps), notching 25 touches to Isaiah Davis' three. After reaching 100 rushing yards in a game for the first time in his career, Allen would be in line for another substantial workload in Week 6 against the Patriots if Hall remains sidelined.

Sanders (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

Sanders exited the game in the fourth quarter with a hip injury. The running back rushed three times for 12 yards and caught his sole target for one yard before exiting the contest.

Gordon (undisclosed) checked back into Sunday's game against the Bengals following a brief departure in the fourth quarter, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Gordon went into the medical tent on the Miami sideline to get checked for a potential injury but returned to the game just a few minutes later. The second-year running back looks like he'll be able to finish out Sunday's contest.

Gordon (undisclosed) went to the medical tent during Sunday's game against the Bengals, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Prior to his exit in the fourth quarter, Gordon racked up 73 yards and one touchdown on his 17 carries. For as long as Gordon is sidelined, Jaylen Wright figures to handle the bulk of the backfield reps for the Dolphins.

Pierce carried the ball 11 times for 14 yards and caught two of five targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.

With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) inactive and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on IR, Pierce began the game as the No. 2 running back for the Eagles behind Will Shipley, and he moved into the top spot after Shipley exited the game just before halftime with a foot injury. The result was Pierce's highest touch volume since Week 18 of the 2024 season with the Texans, although his longest gain went for just six yards. The Eagles' offense is struggling overall behind a patchwork offensive line, but if Pierce finds himself as the top healthy RB option in Week 6 against the Panthers, he'll still have some deep-league fantasy appeal.

The Patriots ruled out Henderson (ankle) for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Initially considered questionable to return to the game after leaving in the second quarter due to the right ankle injury, Henderson didn't join the Patriots on the sideline to begin the second half before he was ruled out shortly after the third quarter got underway. He'll finish the afternoon with 22 yards on four carries to go with one catch for 16 yards. With Henderson sidelined for the rest of the contest, the Patriots will be left with Corey Kiner as their lone option behind No. 1 back Rhamondre Stevenson.

Holani (ribs/knee) is active for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the 49ers.

Holani took a questionable tag into the weekend after practicing in limited fashion all week due to a rib injury, and as of Friday, a knee issue as well. Nevertheless, the third-year back will play through both injuries in Sunday's NFC West showdown, when he's expected to operate as a complementary option to current lead back Emanuel Wilson.

Matlock (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

Matlock was activated off injured reserve Saturday, so despite carrying a questionable designation, most assumed he would be back on the field after sitting out the first four games of the 2026 campaign.

Tuten carried the ball 22 times for 72 yards and caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.

The second-year back set new season highs in touches and scrimmage yards as he reached 90 in the latter category for a third straight game. Tuten has yet to have a truly huge performance this season, but he's been very steady so far as the Jaguars' No. 1 RB, collecting 349 rushing yards and two TDs on 4.3 yards per carry while adding a 9-78-0 line on 10 targets through five games. Tuten hasn't gotten into the end zone in two straight games, a streak he'll look to snap in Week 6 against the Texans.

The Texans ruled out Montgomery (groin) for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Houston will be left with Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale as its available options out of the backfield for the rest of the afternoon after Montgomery was unable to return following his departure from the game midway through the second quarter. Prior to exiting, Montgomery gained 11 yards on five carries and went without a target.
