49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) has no injury designation and is good to go for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. McCaffrey did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday and Friday.
| Footballguys view: As expected, McCaffrey will play this week. Start him as a high-end RB1. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb), who has missed four consecutive games, was a limited participant in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers. The beat writer considers it "still unlikely he plays" since Friday was his first work in a month. With RB Zavier Scott placed on injured reserve earlier this week and only D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson healthy at running back on the 53-man roster, the beat writer expects RB Salvon Ahmed to be elevated from the practice squad for the game.
| Footballguys view: The Bears have a bye next week, so don't be surprised if Monangai sits again. It's good that he finally returned to the practice field, but the Bears have deep playoff aspirations, and rushing Monangai back invites more risk than reward. If Monangai is active, he risks a limited role or reinjury, making him a shaky RB3. If he's out, start D'Andre Swift as a steady RB1 and Roschon Johnson as a touchdown-dependent RB3. |

Lions RB Sione Vaki (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Vaki handled a season-high 12 touches last week but unfortunately left the game with an ankle injury. He's not someone you'd rely on in fantasy, and his workload hardly impacts Jahmyr Gibbs. However, if he misses time, it will be worth seeing who the Lions call up as the backup, as that player may have some injury-away upside. |

Giants RB Cam Skattebo is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles due to a hamstring injury. Skattebo worked on the side with a trainer on Thursday and was in uniform but did not appear to do much at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: There was hope that Skattebo would heal during the bye, but he's struggling to get back on the field after injuring his hamstring on a game-winning breakaway run a couple of weeks ago. In his absence, expect Devin Singletary to handle the bulk of the work. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Giants after another limited practice on Friday. Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, did not practice Wednesday before returning on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With the Eagles shopping most of their vets, it's peculiar that they keep playing an injured Barkley while maintaining the stance that he won't be traded. He split touches with Elijah Mitchell last week and looked clearly limited by his injuries. As he gets healthier, his role may grow. But fantasy managers should hope the Eagles explore a trade and put him in a better offensive ecosystem. It's hard to trust him as anything more than a shaky RB2 this week. |
Saquon Barkley player page
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) was on the field and participating in the early open portion of Friday's practice. He continues to "trend in right direction." McCaffrey returned to practice Thursday after not practicing Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: An afternoon kickoff against the Raiders could be a headache, but all indications suggest McCaffrey should play this weekend. Assuming he's active, he's a plug-and-play RB1. McCaffrey's managers hopefully have Kaelon Black stashed in case. And if they don't, they should move McCaffrey into their flex spot and have a pivot option in the late slate or primetime games to fall back on. |

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Lloyd popped up on the injury report during the practice week.
| Footballguys view: Lloyd has handled very little work since Josh Jacobs returned, earning just 12 touches over the last two weeks. He's an injury away from fantasy relevance. If he can't go on Sunday afternoon, expect Pierre Strong Jr. to be the team's backup, with Jacobs handling the lion's share of the work. |
MarShawn Lloyd player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai is questionable for Sunday night's Week 9 game against the Buccaneers after being limited in practice on Friday. Monangai, who has been dealing with toe and thumb injuries, did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. He was ruled out of last Monday's game against the Seahawks, his fourth straight missed game.

The Patriots have ruled RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Earlier Friday, Henderson revealed he had been hospitalized for 'unexplained neurological symptoms' and said testing had been 'reassuring.'
| Footballguys view: No surprise here after Henderson's public message earlier today regarding his neurological health issues. Henderson hopes to return soon and can sit on fantasy benches until then. |

Cardinals RB Bam Knight (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Seahawks, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. Knight did not participate in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: With Knight out and Jeremiyah Love on IR, Tyler Allgeier will get the start this week with limited backup work. Allgeier was fantasy's RB1 last week, posting huge numbers against a soft Dallas defense. This week's matchup against Seattle will be tougher. Allgeier is a volume-based RB2 in this matchup, and his production likely hinges on his ability to find pay dirt. |
Bam Knight player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was practicing on Friday, the team's last practice before Sunday's game against the Giants. Barkley, who has been dealing with hamstring and back issues, did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday.

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was in uniform at practice on Friday but "didn't seem to be doing anything during the open period." Skattebo worked on the side with a trainer on Wednesday and Thursday. Head coach John Harbaugh called him "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury on Monday.
| Footballguys view: It sure seems like Skattebo isn't playing this week after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 7's overtime win. Skattebo iced the game with a big run but collapsed while opening up his stride in the open field. He missed back-to-back practices to start the week coming out of the bye, and doesn't look like he'll return at full capacity today. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR, Devin Singletary is the last man standing. Singletary has been reliable in spot starts throughout his NFL career. The Giants will likely elevate Eric Gray before Sunday's game. But if Skattebo can't go, Singletary becomes a fun volume-based RB2 against the Eagles. |

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins' name came up in trade talks ahead of Tuesday's deadline, SI's Albert Breer reported. A deal could be less likely now that RB RJ Harvey is on injured reserve, according to Breer. Dobbins has struggled this season, with rookie RB Jonah Coleman emerging in the backfield.
| Footballguys view: It's interesting that the Broncos appear to be in the market to buy and sell running backs at the trade deadline. They have been rumored to be in trade talks for both Jonathan Taylor and Breece Hall, and Dobbins could be part of the return in one of those deals. Historically, the NFL trade deadline is a letdown. But it seems like there's more smoke regarding contenders and running backs this year than normal. The official deadline is next Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and we'll update here with any trades. |

A source close to Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson says the possibility of a stroke has been ruled out, for now, with "no sign" of one from the tests run so far. Henderson has been sidelined and was hospitalized with what he described as 'unexplained neurological symptoms.'

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (quadriceps) is one of three players in question for Sunday's game against the Lions. He will practice on Friday and the team will see how it goes. Wright missed Wednesday's practice with the quad injury before returning on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Wright has been managing a foot injury for most of this season, unrelated to the quadriceps injury he is currently dealing with. Wright may have won the RB2 job out of camp, but Ollie Gordon II has since taken that role from him. Wright needs to get healthy before he can be rostered in fantasy leagues, and likely won't be relevant as long as Gordon is active. |

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson released a statement on Friday revealing that he recently suffered an unexpected medical emergency involving unexplained neurological symptoms that required several days of hospitalization. Henderson said doctors have yet to determine the cause. He was downgraded to out with an illness for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins and was away from the team with the illness on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Henderson's statement referred to neurological symptoms that are impacting his physical performance, but the details of the condition are vague. His long-term health and safety matter most right now, and the Patriots will hope their young running back can return soon. While Henderson is out, expect Rhamondre Stevenson to get some extra work, with Corey Kiner mixing in as a change-of-pace option. |

The Falcons ruled out RB Brian Robinson Jr. for Sunday's game against the Bengals in Madrid due to a hamstring injury. Robinson had been limited in practice throughout the week.
| Footballguys view: Robinson has missed the last two weeks. Oddly enough, Bijan Robinson hasn't scored in either of those matchups. A Week 7 matchup against the 49ers and a sloppy storm game against the Buccaneers in Week 8 were frustrating, but this week's matchup against the Bengals should lead to better results. Khalil Herbert should take over as the team's secondary back, and Bijan Robinson can be relied on as a top-three running back. |

Baltimore Ravens RB Justice Hill ran 9 times for 85 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 7 yards on 3 targets in Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.7.

Jets RB Breece Hall, set to return from a quad injury Sunday at Kansas City, said his expectation is that he is "still the starter" despite RB Braelon Allen rushing for 504 yards and two touchdowns in five starts in his absence. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich said, "You've got two No. 1 backs. [Hall] is obviously the bell cow. He's our guy, but it will be a mix." Hall said that although he had practiced in recent weeks, his quad was "still getting inflamed" and sore the day after until recently. He also said he believes he and Allen should have been used more evenly early in the season.

Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier is going to be the lead back Sunday at Seattle, with RB Jeremiyah Love on injured reserve and out for at least the next four games and RB Bam Knight in the concussion protocol. Allgeier was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and adding five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Head coach Mike LaFleur said he had told Allgeier the Wednesday before that game that he would have a third-down role, before Love and Knight exited with injuries. "He put his cape on and became Superman for us," LaFleur said.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) is active for Thursday night's game at the Ravens after being listed as questionable. Tuten's pregame workout went well and confirmed he would play. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. "should still see a good bit" of action Thursday night as well.
Link to storyChris Rodriguez Jr. player page
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is good to go for Thursday night's game against the Ravens after his pregame workout. Tuten was listed as questionable with an ankle injury, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler had reported earlier Thursday that he 'should be' good for the game barring any pregame setbacks.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. He was not listed among the changes on Thursday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Henderson may need more time to heal. He's battled various injuries, including a recurring ankle injury, and that's taken a toll on the young runner. Rhamondre Stevenson is set for another large role in Week 9. We like Stevenson as an RB2 with upside for Sunday's game against the Packers. |

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd was added to the team's injury report on Thursday.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) was back in uniform and participating in the early open portion of Thursday's practice. McCaffrey did not practice on Wednesday. The 49ers host the Raiders on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan has described McCaffrey's hamstring injury as mild, and it's a good sign for his Week 9 availability that he's resumed practice on Thursday. He's an RB1 vs the Raiders on Sunday, and we like Kaelon Black as at least a 'what the heck' flex option. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, his first full session since the quad injury. Hall was limited in Wednesday's practice. The Jets play at the Chiefs on Sunday, with game statuses coming on Friday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Jets here. Braelon Allen has been fantastic as the team's starter while filling in for Hall. With Hall set to return against the Chiefs on Sunday, we see the team easing him back into action. That puts both running backs in the flex range as the Jets should be using a full-blown RBBC. |
Breece Hall player page
Saints RB Alvin Kamara returned to practice on Thursday. Kamara did not practice on Wednesday because of a back issue. The Saints host the Browns on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Against the Browns in Week 9, Kamara should be considered a flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. He's not contributing much as a runner, but Kamara is still effective as a receiver out of the backfield. |
Alvin Kamara player page
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving did not practice on Thursday due to a veteran rest day. The Buccaneers play at the Bears on Sunday in Week 9.
Link to storyBucky Irving player page
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was a full participant in practice on Thursday after having rest days. Indianapolis hosts the Cowboys on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor hasn't been traded yet, and the team may look to move him after Sunday's game against the Cowboys. We believe Taylor will be playing for a new team in Week 10. With a workload that is expected to be normal (that could change with him being on the trade block), Taylor is his usual RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Jonathan Taylor player page
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) did not participate in practice on Thursday. He was also a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated report. Monangai was ruled out of last Monday's win over the Seahawks, his fourth straight missed game.
| Footballguys view: It looks like Monangai is going to miss his fifth straight game. With a bye in Week 10, Monangai could be ready to resume practicing as the team prepares for a Week 11 contest against the Saints. |
Kyle Monangai player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley returned to practice on Thursday. Barkley did not practice Wednesday while dealing with hamstring and back issues. The Eagles host the Giants on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley rushed 13 times for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' Week 8 loss to the Commanders, adding 24 yards on one reception. He's a key cog for what the Eagles want to do, and they'll lean on him more than ever with Joe Milton getting the start at quarterback. He's at least a flex option against the Giants in Week 9. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright was back at practice on Thursday. Wright missed Wednesday's practice because of a quad injury. His participation level for Thursday will be clarified on the official injury report.
| Footballguys view: Wright can be a quality change-of-pace back for the Dolphins when healthy (and a good special teams player). He'll serve as the primary backup to Ollie Gordon as the Dolphins march on in 2026. |
Jaylen Wright player page
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was again working on the side with a trainer at practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: He also worked on the side with a trainer on Monday and Wednesday, and head coach John Harbaugh called him 'day-to-day' on Monday. The Giants may be going with Devin Singletary as their lead back if Skattebo needs more time. We'd like Singletary in the deep flex range if he gets the starting nod in Week 9 against the Eagles. |
Cam Skattebo player page
Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) remains out and will be sidelined for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Chargers. The Texans practiced indoors on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Woody Marks gets another chance to impress, something that he hasn't done in two starts while Montgomery has been out. Good thing for Marks and the Texans is the hapless Chargers are the opponent in Week 9. We've got him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
David Montgomery player page
Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, the team's first full practice in Madrid ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. The Falcons held only a walkthrough Wednesday after landing, and nothing changed from Wednesday's estimated report, where Robinson was also listed as limited.
| Footballguys view: Robinson has been out of action for the last two weeks with this hamstring injury. Let's see what he does on Friday, but Robinson is trending towards playing in Week 9. He'll be the primary backup to Bijan Robinson if active. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten's injuries are putting his status for Thursday night's game at the Ravens in jeopardy. Tuten is officially questionable with an ankle injury after missing practice all week.

The Bengals are one of a few teams "aggressively pursuing" Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported, though no deal with any team appears imminent. The Colts have started a fire sale following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard, and Taylor is widely expected to be moved before the deadline, but Indianapolis appears firm on getting top-tier value for him. Cincinnati's passing game has been productive, while its running game has struggled this season. CBS broadcaster J.J. Watt said the Bengals "make sense for a guy like him because of what their offense has in terms of the passing game and they just haven't been able to get going on the ground."
| Footballguys view: The Bengals have one of the league's best passing attacks, and adding Taylor would make their offense even more deadly. Taylor is set to play in Week 9 even though he's likely to be dealt before the trade deadline on Tuesday. |

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell was limited in practice on Wednesday with a hip injury. Gainwell was listed as questionable with the hip injury for last Sunday's game against the Falcons before being cleared to play, and he ran for 140 yards in the win.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Wednesday. Monangai was ruled out of Monday's game against the Seahawks, his fourth straight missed game. RB Zavier Scott (wrist) was also listed as a non-participant.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report with hamstring and back injuries. Barkley was off the injury report and declared 'good to go' ahead of last Sunday night's game at Washington. The Eagles host the Giants in Week 9 on Sunday.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Wednesday, "We're good with the rotation," at running back, in response to a question about whether the team is load-managing RB J.K. Dobbins. The comment was not a trade deadline smoke signal. Dobbins played 13 snaps to RB Jonah Coleman's 41 in Sunday's win over the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is the lead back, but Dobbins might get a "ceremonial" start again. We like Coleman to do more going forward, and he could post RB1 numbers against the Panthers in Week 9. Dobbins is more of a "what the heck" flex in his limited role. |

Saints RB Alvin Kamara did not practice on Wednesday because of a back issue. Kamara was limited in practice with a back injury in late October before playing against the Steelers without an injury designation.

Cardinals RB James Conner, who remains on injured reserve, will not be an option for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Seahawks, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Wednesday. As for Conner playing this season, LaFleur said he is taking it "week-to-week." RB Bam Knight did not practice Wednesday as he recovers from a concussion, and rookie RB Jeremiyah Love is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The week-to-week designation is curious, especially with the trade deadline coming up. With Love on IR, Tyler Allgeier handles a large workload for the Cardinals. We've got him in the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 9 against the Seahawks. |
