  Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier 'going to be the lead back' Sunday with Love on IR, Knight in protocol    Thu Nov 5, 07:07 PM

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 | Bhayshul Tuten active for TNF at Ravens, Rodriguez should still see 'a good bit'    Thu Nov 5, 07:01 PM

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.

  Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten 'good to go' after pregame workout for TNF at Ravens    Thu Nov 5, 06:19 PM

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 | TreVeyon Henderson not among Thursday injury report changes    Thu Nov 5, 04:41 PM

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.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey back in uniform, participating Thursday    Thu Nov 5, 04:02 PM

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.

  Jets | Breece Hall a full participant for first time since quad injury    Thu Nov 5, 04:00 PM

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.

  Saints | Alvin Kamara returns to practice Thursday    Thu Nov 5, 03:54 PM

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.

  Buccaneers | Bucky Irving given veteran rest day on Thursday    Thu Nov 5, 03:49 PM

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.

  Colts | Jonathan Taylor practices in full Thursday after rest days    Thu Nov 5, 03:48 PM

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.

  Bears | Kyle Monangai does not practice again Thursday    Thu Nov 5, 03:35 PM

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.

  Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'back at practice' Thursday    Thu Nov 5, 02:23 PM

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.

  Dolphins | Jaylen Wright back at Thursday practice after missing Wednesday with quad    Thu Nov 5, 01:46 PM

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.

  Giants | Cam Skattebo again works on the side with trainer Thursday    Thu Nov 5, 01:34 PM

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.

  Texans | David Montgomery remains out, sidelined for Week 9 game vs. Chargers    Thu Nov 5, 12:26 PM

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.

  Falcons | Brian Robinson Jr. limited again in first full practice in Madrid    Thu Nov 5, 11:13 AM

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 | Bhayshul Tuten's status for Thursday night at Ravens 'in jeopardy'    Thu Nov 5, 08:51 AM

  Colts | Bengals among teams 'aggressively pursuing' Jonathan Taylor ahead of deadline    Thu Nov 5, 06:30 AM

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 | Kenny Gainwell limited at Wednesday practice with hip injury    Wed Nov 4, 09:12 PM

  Broncos | Sean Payton 'good with the rotation' at RB when asked about J.K. Dobbins' workload    Wed Nov 4, 05:40 PM

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.

  Cardinals | James Conner not an option this week, Bam Knight misses practice with concussion    Wed Nov 4, 04:28 PM

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.

  Ravens | Giants' reported trade target Derrick Henry 'appears off the market'    Wed Nov 4, 03:55 PM

Ravens RB Derrick Henry, a reported trade target of the Giants, appears to be off the market. Baltimore's push to stay in the playoff race makes any possibility of the Giants trading for Henry unlikely.

Footballguys view: The Ravens are 4-4 and two games back from the Steelers (6-2) entering Week 9. With the trade for QB Jacoby Brissett, it seems like the team is not folding just yet. With the trade deadline less than a week away, Henry seems to be locked in with the Ravens.

  Colts | Jonathan Taylor limited Wednesday on partial 'rest' day    Wed Nov 4, 03:43 PM

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, with the team listing it as a partial "rest" day. Taylor was not listed with an injury.

Footballguys view: Taylor has not gotten traded -- yet. Teams like the Broncos, Giants, Vikings, and others should have interest. However, the Colts' asking price might be pretty high, and teams are so far hesitant to cough up a package for Taylor that could include a first-round pick.

  Texans | Woody Marks could start again in Week 9 as Montgomery not seen at practice    Wed Nov 4, 02:24 PM

Texans RB Woody Marks could once again be leaned on as a starter in Week 9 against the Chargers. RB David Montgomery (groin) was not seen at practice on Wednesday, according to reporter DJ Bien-Aime: "We did not see RB David Montgomery out there."

Footballguys view: Marks should get another start this week. Against the Chargers in Week 9, Marks could post RB2 numbers for Fantasy GMs. He's been mostly underwhelming this season.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright was not spotted at practice on Wednesday. Wright was listed with a foot injury earlier in October, though he was "good to go" for the Dolphins' game against the Jets.

Footballguys view: Ollie Gordon II is the featured back for the Dolphins, and Wright is mainly used as a change-of-pace back and special teams return man. He's a player we keep stashed, but only in deeper leagues.

  Giants | Singletary, Desrosiers only healthy RBs on active roster with Skattebo 'in doubt'    Wed Nov 4, 01:42 PM

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) again worked on the side with a trainer and did not practice on Wednesday, and he is in doubt for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles. That leaves RB Devin Singletary and RB Greg Desrosiers, who was signed off the Chargers practice squad last week, as the only healthy running backs on the Giants' active roster, with RB Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve. RBs Phil Mafah and Eric Gray are on the practice squad.

Skattebo also worked on the side with a trainer in Monday's first practice after the bye, and head coach John Harbaugh called him "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury on Monday. The Giants visit the Eagles on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Skattebo's hamstring injury might force him to miss the game against the Eagles. Devin Singletary would likely be the Giants' starter if Skattebo is out.

  Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson away from team with illness Wednesday    Wed Nov 4, 01:04 PM

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was away from the team with an illness on Wednesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said. Henderson missed Thursday's practice last week with an illness and was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.

Footballguys view: An illness usually doesn't impact a player this long, unless it's something more serious. We'll know more when more information about Henderson becomes available. In the meantime, get ready for plenty of Rhamondre Stevenson (again) in Week 9 if Henderson can't play.

  Jets | Aaron Glenn says 'both guys will play' if Hall and Allen are available    Wed Nov 4, 12:09 PM

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that "both guys will play" when asked about the workload for RBs Braelon Allen and Breece Hall if both are available. Hall, who has a quadriceps injury, sat out Sunday's loss to the Raiders, while Allen ran for 147 yards and a touchdown in that game.

Footballguys view: Allen has been fantastic as the lead back for the Jets. With Hall out, Allen was able to strut his stuff -- and he looked good as a bell-cow back. Now, the team is going to use both and that could frustrate Fantasy GMs. Allen is more of an RB2/flex, and we view Hall as an RB3/flex in Week 9.

  Jets | Breece Hall limited in Wednesday practice    Wed Nov 4, 12:07 PM

Jets RB Breece Hall was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Hall sat out Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Footballguys view: Hall was limited last week, but he missed the game against the Raiders. He's in line to return to the field this week, but it would be nice to see him get a full designation by Friday at the latest. With the way that Braelon Allen is playing, the Jets should use plenty of both backs going forward. Allen is more of an RB2/flex, while we view Hall as an RB3/flex if he does play in Week 9.

  Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten a 'game-time decision' Thursday, Rodriguez would see larger role    Wed Nov 4, 11:34 AM

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game at the Ravens, head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Coen said Tuten told him he feels better, but Tuten has three DNPs in practice this week. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. would have a larger role if Tuten is out. We view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside if Tuten can't play on Thursday Night Football.

Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to make other plans here. An option for you could be Chris Rodriguez, and without Tuten on the field, he could get a sizable workload. If Tuten can't play, we view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside.

  Giants | Giants claim attempt on RB Henry adds to Skattebo hamstring 'alarms'    Wed Nov 4, 08:30 AM

The Giants were the only other team to put in a waiver claim for undrafted rookie RB Robert Henry Jr., who landed with the Commanders, Ben Standig reported. The beat writer called it an interesting note given Giants RB Cam Skattebo's hamstring injury, saying Skattebo working on the side with a hamstring after the bye week "raises some alarms, especially since he dealt with a hamstring throughout last offseason." It is not clear whether it is the same leg. Skattebo's practice work on Wednesday was still to be seen.

Footballguys view: The Giants had a bye in Week 8, and Skattebo is no guarantee to be available in Week 9 against the Eagles. Giants HC John Harbaugh said Skattebo remains day-to-day. We'll have to see what his practice status looks like on Friday at the latest, but Skattebo is not trending in the right direction.

The Saints claimed RB Audric Estimé off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Estimé was released by New Orleans in September.

Footballguys view: The claim "might be a telling sign" for RB Travis Etienne Jr., who is eligible to return from injured reserve (hamstring), because activating him would bring the Saints up to five running backs on the 53-man roster. We'll continue to watch for more.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight is in the concussion protocol, leaving his status in doubt.

Footballguys view: RB Evan Hull is on the roster and will be active, and the Cardinals can elevate RB Jerome Ford from the practice squad if needed. But Tyler Allgeier's path to workload is clear. His matchup against the Seahawks is tough on paper, but D'Andre Swift ran for three touchdowns in Seattle on Monday Night Football.

  Lions | Sione Vaki emerges as change-of-pace back, 'gained a lot of trust' per Dan Campbell    Tue Nov 3, 03:24 PM

Lions RB Sione Vaki had career highs of 11 carries and 65 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings, spelling RB Jahmyr Gibbs, who ran 23 times for 153 yards.

Footballguys view: Gibbs leads the NFL with 191 touches through seven games. "He was going to need to get some carries for us, some significant carries. They needed to be real yards, and he was going to need to be able to pass protect for us," head coach Dan Campbell said of Vaki. Don't expect the Lions to lighten Gibbs' workload noticeably, but having a viable alternative is helpful.

  Jeremiyah Love headed to IR with high ankle sprain, Allgeier takes over as lead back    Tue Nov 3, 01:56 PM

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is headed to injured reserve with a right high ankle sprain, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.

Footballguys view: The move will sideline the rookie for a minimum of four games, with the Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, and Commanders next on the schedule. Love's ankle got rolled underneath him in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys, and he did not return; it is the third ankle injury of his rookie season. RB Tyler Allgeier, who ran for 147 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and caught five passes for 44 yards and another score against Dallas, takes over as the lead back, although Bam Knight will also be a factor once he's cleared from the concussion protocol.

  Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten only player not spotted at Tuesday's practice    Tue Nov 3, 01:08 PM

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (foot) was the only player not spotted during the open media portion of practice on Tuesday. Tuten was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report. Jacksonville plays at Baltimore on Thursday.

Footballguys view: The short week doesn't do Tuten any favors, as the timeline is condensed with the Thursday night kickoff. That said, the Jaguars could just be giving him a break because of that -- especially after he handled a heavy workload in Week 8. If Tuten were to miss the contest, Chris Rodriguez Jr. becomes the primary back. We'll be following up on this one as developments warrant.
