Rams | Kyren Williams on Rams' sputtering offense: 'Probably because I'm not out there' Sun Oct 18, 07:42 PM
Rams RB Kyren Williams, asked after Sunday's 18-16 home loss to the Cardinals why the team couldn't sustain its energy from drive to drive, said: "Can't tell you, bro. Probably because I'm not out there." Williams and RB Blake Corum traded off on a scoring drive against the Bills last week.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop pointed out, Williams played 40 offensive snaps to Corum's 16. Williams had 50 rushing yards on 10 carries and 3 catches for 17 yards. Corum had 42 yards on 9 carries and 2 catches for 18 yards and a touchdown. The Rams play the Raiders in Week 8. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 128 yards, two TDs in win over Chargers Sun Oct 18, 07:30 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker ran 19 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 2 passes for 11 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 21.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, it wasn't the explosion Walker produced in the season opener, but for yet another week, the former Seahawk proved his star isn't burning out anytime soon. His patience, change of direction, burst, and refusal to go down on first contact made him a nightmare for Chargers defenders to attempt to stop. Walker gets a revenge game in Week 8, with Kansas City playing in Seattle. |

Giants | Harbaugh says Skattebo 'wasn't benched', still trying to figure out who 'the guy' is Sun Oct 18, 05:19 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo finished with zero carries in Sunday's loss to the Saints, but head coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo wasn't benched and that the lack of carries wasn't by design. Harbaugh said no one has stepped up in the running back room and that he is trying to figure out who "the guy" is. When pressed on the topic, Harbaugh said, "I don't know what else to say. That's the best answer you can ever get on that in 1,000 years... If you're not thrilled with that answer, I got nothing else for you, honestly."
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh is trying to be tactful in the media, but there's zero chance that Skattebo not appearing in the box score was accidental. Najee Harris was unimpressive as the starter and Tyrone Tracy can't do everything, but Skattebo is unlikely to get back to the clear lead back role he had to open the season. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues heading into a matchup with the Texans. |

Panthers | Hubbard runs for 120 yards, one TD in win over Eagles Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 1 yard on 2 targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 15.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers offense passed their stiffest test of the season, with Hubbard's tough running helping them close out a resounding road win against a good defense. Hubbard is a solid RB1 in a balanced offense with a line that is going to get some key starters back. He has a tough matchup against the Bucs stout run defense next week. |

Giants | Tracy runs for 18 yards, one TD, one receiving TD in loss to Saints Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran 6 times for 18 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 27 yards and a touchdown on 3 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.5.
| Footballguys view: Najee Harris got the start, but he was ineffective. Tracy was the red zone back with Cam Skattebo benched following another costly fumble in overtime last week, and he got free for a receiving touchdown to open the scoring for the Giants. He was on the field during the comeback bid with JJ McCarthy and added a rushing touchdown. He clearly has the most athleticism of any of the Giants backs and should be added while the Giants try to figure out who their best quarterback and running back is going into Week 7 with a trip to Houston up next. |

Falcons | Bijan Robinson held to 61 yards on 9 carries in loss to Bears Sun Oct 18, 04:21 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson ran 9 times for 61 yards and also caught 2 passes for -8 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 20.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 6.3.
| Footballguys view: The Bears are going to do this to opponents occasionally this season. The Falcons had just over seven minutes of time of possession in the first half and were down by multiple scores at halftime. There's not much Robinson could have done to avoid to avoid the fantasy dud. The Falcons have another treacherous matchup against the 49ers next week. |

Patriots | Stevenson held to 36 yards on 14 carries in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 14 times for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 14.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.6.
| Footballguys view: TreVeyon Henderson was the back that fumbled in Week 6, but Stevenson was ineffective and both of them yielded to former UDFA Corey Kiner, who was acquired for a seventh round pick right before the season. We'll be listening closely to see what the plan is going forward in this backfield, but for now Stevenson is just a what-the-heck flex until we get more clarity with a Thursday night game at Chicago coming up. |

Ravens | Henry held to 58 yards on 17 carries in loss to Browns Sun Oct 18, 04:00 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry ran 17 times for 58 yards, also caught 1 pass for 2 yards on 1 target and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 17.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.5.
| Footballguys view: Henry's value should get back to previous levels with the return of Lamar Jackson, which could come next week against the Bengals now that the Ravens have dropped a divisional game. |

Saints | RB Alvin Kamara returns from brief absence Sun Oct 18, 02:15 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's game against the Giants after being injured in the second quarter.

Texans | Jawhar Jordan runs for 43 yards, one TD in win over Jaguars Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan ran 6 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 0.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.5.
| Footballguys view: Jordan had a 100-yard game for the Texans last year, and he had the big play in the running game for Houston in this one. Jordan was on the practice squad, but he is a good early down option for Houston and should cap Woody Marks upside as a fantasy play until David Montgomery comes back. If Marks were to go down before Montgomery is healthy, Jordan would be worth rostering as the next man up. |

Jaguars | Tuten runs for 39 yards, two receiving TDs in loss to Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten ran 12 times for 39 yards and also caught 4 passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.7.
| Footballguys view: Tuten had a touchdown run nullified by a holding penalty and ended up scoring on the drive anyway via a reception. Chris Rodriguez actually ran the ball more effectively than Tuten, but Tuten's prowess as a receiver made him a strong RB1 play anyway. Consider Tuten a high ceiling RB2 heading into his bye. |

Jaguars | RB Ameer Abdullah returns to the game Sun Oct 18, 10:45 AM
Jaguars RB Ameer Abdullah (concussion) returned to Sunday's game against the Texans after being injured in the first quarter.
| Footballguys view: Abdullah was hit hard by the Texans' Wade Woodaz on a kickoff return and sent flying to the ground. Abdullah was slow to get up and left under his own power, but was taken to the sideline tent, and the team announced that he was being evaluated for a concussion. The team later announced he was cleared to return, and he played offense in the second quarter. |

Giants RB Najee Harris is set to start Sunday against the Saints.

All four Giants RBs (Harris, Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary) are expected to be active.

Commanders RB Jacory "Bill" Croskey-Merritt (groin) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night's game at the 49ers. Head coach Dan Quinn said Croskey-Merritt re-injured the groin he originally hurt in August, adding, "That's harder, on the same injury. We'll work really hard to get him back." RBs Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) were cleared to play, while RB Jeremy McNichols was a full participant all week and is questionable as he waits to come off injured reserve.

Texans | RB Jawhar Jordan elevated from practice squad Sat Oct 17, 02:55 PM
The Houston Texans elevated RB Jawhar Jordan from the practice squad for for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
| Footballguys view: Jordan, not Dare Ogunbowale, would be the next man up for early-down work if Woody Marks goes down. Jordan played at the end of last season and even put up a 100-yard game, so the Texans are comfortable with him as depth with David Montgomery out because of a groin injury. |

Panthers | Trevor Etienne activated off IR, questionable for Sunday at Eagles Sat Oct 17, 01:45 PM
The Panthers activated RB Trevor Etienne to the 53-man roster on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Eagles. Etienne, working back from an ankle injury, was a full participant in practice every day this week and is listed as questionable. With RB AJ Dillon out with an ankle injury, the team also elevated RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad to serve as a third back, his second elevation.
| Footballguys view: Etienne is a versatile back who can spell Chuba Hubbard to keep the Panthers No. 1 back from wearing down. He's not worth an add outside of very deep leagues, but Etienne will be on our waiver wire watch list for his Hubbard injury upside, at least as long as No. 2 back Jonathon Brooks is out with a groin injury, which could be until around Thanksgiving. |

Commanders | Croskey-Merritt out vs. 49ers, White and Ekeler to share backfield Sat Oct 17, 01:04 PM
Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) has been ruled out of Monday's Week 6 game at the 49ers, head coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Saturday. Croskey-Merritt, the team's leading rusher, re-injured the same groin that has nagged him in recent weeks and missed practice all week. RB Rachaad White, who has caught all 10 of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown, and RB Austin Ekeler figure to handle the backfield work. "His explosiveness in the passing game is a big deal," Quinn said of Ekeler. "So, having some combination of the guys, I think that's what we'll lean on most right now."

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt 'expected out' for Week 6 Sat Oct 17, 11:17 AM
Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt is expected to miss Monday's Week 6 game at the 49ers, according to sources. Washington's leading rusher has battled a groin injury since training camp. He did not practice on Thursday or Friday.
| Footballguys view: Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler will split the work with Croskey-Merritt out. The Commanders have a bye next week, so the absence may not be that long for the starter. Croskey-Merritt suffered a groin injury earlier in the year, so it is possible for the absence to stretch past the Week 7 bye. Consider White a flex play this week, especially in PPR leagues. The team did sign Devin Neal to the practice squad, so he could get a call-up for Week 6. |

Packers RB Josh Jacobs will immediately return as the team's starting running back next week at Detroit. Jacobs is coming off the Commissioner Exempt List and is eligible to play next week.
| Footballguys view: MarShawn Lloyd could still have a flex-worthy role as a passing-game weapon and change of pace from Jacobs, but expect Jacobs to have a big workload right away. Lloyd isn't an essential hold in short-bench leagues after this week's possible shootout with Dallas. |
