Vikings | Aaron Jones to have MRI on knee Monday, hope is it's not long-term Sun Oct 25, 07:14 PM
Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. will have an MRI on his knee on Monday. The hope is that the injury won't be a long-term one.
| Footballguys view: Jones made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Colts after a 17-yard gain in the fourth quarter. He ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target before aggravating an existing injury. Jordan Mason, who averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday, will be available to pick up any slack. |

Giants | Tyrone Tracy's hamstring injury doesn't seem 'anything serious' Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s hamstring injury did not seem like anything serious after Sunday's win over the Texans. Tracy left the game with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. The Giants head into their bye with multiple players dealing with apparently minor issues. We'll be monitoring their status as developments warrant. |

Giants | Skattebo felt hamstring on long OT run but 'avoided straining it' Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo felt his hamstring on his long run in overtime of Sunday's win over the Texans, but he avoided straining it.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards. He was RB11 through Sunday's late-afternoon window. As The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported, the mood in the Giants' locker room after the game was one of relief that the bye is here, with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. We'll be following up on all of them as developments warrant. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey confident thigh injury not long-term: 'I know I'll be alright' Sun Oct 25, 06:01 PM
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey said after Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Falcons that he was confident his thigh injury is not a long-term issue. "It sucks because it feels like I was going on a run there and then my leg just died on me. Tried to get it going for the whole rest of the game. I know I'll be alright," McCaffrey said. He had returned to the field in uniform to start the second half.
| Footballguys view: "Just died on me" doesn't sound great, but the bye is coming at a perfect time. McCaffrey hasn't been a truly elite fantasy back this season, but he has delivered a solid fantasy RB1 for the mid-first-round pick it took to land him, which is just fine. We'll monitor the 49ers beat for any additional information on his injury during the bye. |

Giants | Skattebo felt something in his hamstring, 'Good thing we have a bye week' Sun Oct 25, 04:38 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo said after Sunday's win over the Texans that he felt something in his hamstring on the run that set up RB Devin Singletary's game-winning touchdown. Skattebo said he was not sliding on purpose, but knew the Giants were in field-goal range so he slid. "Good thing we have a bye week," Skattebo said.

Giants | Skattebo runs for 124 yards, one TD in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran stronger as the game went on, and his 42-yard run in overtime set up the Giants to win before Devin Singletary finished the game with a 30-yard touchdown run. It looked like Skattebo did pull up on that last run, but he should be okay for Week 9 after the Giants' bye next week because he said he did not strain his hamstring, and the bye comes at a good time. Skattebo's value is back up with this strong performance by the whole offense, even if he is banged up and the Texans defense isn't what it used to be. |

Browns | Judkins runs for 96 yards, two TDs in win over Titans Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins ran 17 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 8 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 10.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.9.
| Footballguys view: Judkins got out of the gate quickly with a long run to set up the first Browns touchdown, which he scored. He added a second score and showed that the ankle injury to the joint he had surgically repaired after dislocating it last season isn't a problem heading into the Week 8 showdown at Pittsburgh. |

Titans | Pollard runs for 129 yards, three TDs in loss to Browns Sun Oct 25, 04:11 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard ran 25 times for 129 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 3 passes for 26 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 11.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 35.0.
| Footballguys view: He opened the scoring for the Titans with a 36-yard run and was the most consistent performer for this somewhat inept offense. Pollard has been the subject of trade speculation for most of the season, and this game should have fans of teams in the market for a running back at the trade deadline clamoring for his services. Pollard was the clear lead back with Tyjae Spears inactive, and he should be again next week against the Bengals -- assuming he doesn't get dealt. Consider Pollard a high-floor RB2 next week. |

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry ran 17 times for 45 yards and also caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 15.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 5.4.
| Footballguys view: Lamar Jackson should be back next week, so expect Henry's fantasy football slump to end in Week 8 at Buffalo. |

Dolphins | Gordon runs for 103 yards, one TD in win over Jets Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II ran 25 times for 103 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 28-25 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 12.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.8.
| Footballguys view: Gordon proved himself to be the kind of back that can salt away a win with tough fourth-quarter running. Head coach Jeff Hafley praised Gordon's situational value in the first win of the year in a sign that he could easily be a "thunder" to De'Von Achane's lightning next season after Achane returns from an ACL tear. In the meantime, Gordon is a strong RB2 bordering on RB1 value heading into a matchup with the Patriots. |

Jets | Allen runs for 104 yards in loss to Dolphins Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen ran 17 times for 104 yards and also caught 6 passes for 30 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.4.
| Footballguys view: Allen was not one of the reasons the Jets lost to the Dolphins at home. He has looked like a starting-quality NFL running back in his four starts after Breece Hall went down, and he shouldn't be dropped in redraft leagues even with Hall due back next week against the Raiders. This should be close to a 60/40 split and maybe even 50/50 in Hall's first week back, plus there's the possibility of re-injury or another injury after Hall missed most of the preseason with a groin injury. Hall should be ready to return next week after getting in two limited practices last week. |

Vikings | Jones (knee) leaves in fourth quarter, held to 26 yards on 8 carries in win over Colts Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.
| Footballguys view: Jones left in the fourth quarter after taking a hit on the knee in which he sprained his MCL back in Week 2. He did not return to the game. Jordan Mason should be the starter next week against the Lions and will be ranked as a solid RB2 play assuming Jones can't go. |

Buccaneers | Tucker runs for 52 yards, one TD in win over Panthers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker ran 7 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 1.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.2.
| Footballguys view: Tucker broke away for a 46-yard score when the game was out of hand, and he slipped on a goal-to-go opportunity earlier in the game. Kenny Gainwell did get a little banged up in this game, but Tucker won't be rosterable in typical redraft leagues unless Bucky Irving goes down. |

Buccaneers | Irving runs for 106 yards, two TDs in win over Panthers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving ran 24 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.5.
| Footballguys view: Irving touched the ball 11 times on the opening drive out of 14 plays, including on the touchdown. Zac Robinson was comfortable riding Bijan Robinson as the offensive coordinator in Atlanta, and that is what he has done in the Bucs' two wins this season. If Tampa can beat Atlanta next week, they will be in the thick of the NFC South race after starting 1-5 now that they have a road win against the division-leading (at 3-3) Panthers. |

Texans | RB Woody Marks returns to the game Sun Oct 25, 03:46 PM
Texans RB Woody Marks (leg) has returned to Sunday's game against the Giants after being injured in the third quarter.

Dare Ogunbowale briefly replaced Marks, with David Montgomery missing another game. Marks finished the game with 19 carries for 66 yards and one catch for 15 yards. The Texans have a Week 8 bye, and it's possible Montgomery could return for Week 9. |

Kenny Gainwell returned to play through a hip injury Sun Oct 25, 02:46 PM
Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell suffered a hip injury in Sunday's game against the Panthers. His return was initially characterized as questionable, but Gainwell was able to get back on the field.
| Footballguys view: Gainwell carried the ball 14 times for 88 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. With Bucky Irving leading the way and Sean Tucker nibbling away at the available opportunities, Gainwell's fantasy stock remains low. |

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) did not return against the Texans on Sunday. Tracy was injured in the second quarter and was listed as questionable to return. WR Jalin Hyatt was back to return kickoffs alongside WR Charlie Jones.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. Cam Skattebo came on late as the lead back, with a 16-yard score that featured broken tackles and a 42-yard run in overtime where he pulled up and it appeared he might have hurt his hamstring. We'll be monitoring the Giants beat for more news about Skattebo, but going into the bye we might not get specifics about either until after the week off for the Giants. |

Steelers | Warren runs for 101 yards in win over Saints, Dowdle close to 100 total yards Sun Oct 25, 12:35 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren ran 18 times for 101 yards and also caught 3 passes for 36 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 16-10 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.2. Rico Dowdle had nine carries for 41 yards and six receptions for 45 yards.
| Footballguys view: Early on last week, the Steelers' split between Warren and Rico Dowdle, who had just returned from a toe injury, was close to even, but the team leaned on Warren in overtime and made sure that Warren got more than enough touches to make an impact in this game. Dowdle's 15 touches do indicate that his role is more than a mere backup, and the energy he ran with in the second half should keep it that way. The Steelers offense revolved around their backfield instead of Aaron Rodgers for the first time this season, and it was a winning gameplan, so we could see more of it as the Steelers try to avenge their loss to the Browns next week and move ahead of them in the standings of the very tight AFC North, where every team had a winning record coming into Week 7. |
