Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet remains limited, won't play this week Wed Oct 7, 06:46 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) remained limited at practice on Wednesday. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Charbonnet won't play this week against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet won't play this week, but there's a chance he'll play next week as the Seahawks play on Thursday Night Football against the Broncos in Week 6. He's limited at practice on Wednesday, so we'll see what the team decides about his Week 6 status early next week. Emanuel Wilson leads the Seattle rushing attack for one more week. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley (hamstring) among Eagles' DNPs on Wednesday Wed Oct 7, 06:09 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 5 game against the Jaguars in London. Barkley is dealing with a hamstring injury that has him "week-to-week".
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are fighting through a few things as they travel to London this week. RB Will Shipley is next up in the Eagles' backfield, with Tank Bigsby headed to injured reserve. We like Shipley as an RB3/flex play in Week 5 against the Jaguars. |

Patriots | RB Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) limited in Wednesday's practice Wed Oct 7, 05:15 PM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Patriots HC Mike Vrabel did say there's a chance Stevenson plays in Week 5 after getting injured late in Week 4. If Stevenson can't play, TreVeyon Henderson would be in line for a large workload. |

Bears | RB D'Andre Swift (hip) did not practice Wednesday Wed Oct 7, 05:15 PM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: With Swift banged up, the Bears can easily turn to Kyle Monangai again. After 30 carries a week ago, Monangai did get banged up with a toe injury. We'll see if Swift can get out there later in the week and suit up for Week 5 against the Packers. |

Broncos | Sean Payton calls J.K. Dobbins 'an important piece of what we're doing' Wed Oct 7, 04:57 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton praised RB J.K. Dobbins on Wednesday. "He's an important piece of what we're doing," Payton said.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos can't run the ball effectively, and Dobbins looked either injured or washed. Have injuries finally caught up with him? The Broncos don't get rookie Jonah Coleman back for another couple of weeks, so Dobbins - if healthy enough - will continue to get the bulk of the carries. RJ Harvey is great in space, but we're seeing he's most effective as a receiving back. |

Jets | Breece Hall does not practice Wednesday ahead of Week 5 vs. Browns Wed Oct 7, 04:34 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall did not practice on Wednesday as the team began preparations for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Browns.
| Footballguys view: Hall was ruled out for the Jets' Week 4 game against the Bears and was described as "week-to-week" earlier Wednesday. A DNP on Wednesday does not automatically count Hall out, but it's not a great start. We'll see Braelon Allen continue as the Jets' lead back if Hall needs to miss more time. |

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) limited in Wednesday practice Wed Oct 7, 04:18 PM
Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt rushed nine times for 15 yards in the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts, adding two catches for 35 yards. They worked in four running backs last week (including Kaytron Allen, Austin Ekeler, and Craig Reynolds), so Croskey-Merritt will continue working in a committee if he's out there in Week 5 against the Giants. We've got him in the RB3/flex range in PPR formats. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara (back) a non-participant Wednesday Wed Oct 7, 04:13 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) did not participate on Wednesday, head coach Kellen Moore said. Kamara hurt his knee during Monday night's loss to the Falcons but returned to the game, running for 23 yards and two touchdowns. The Saints host the Vikings on Sunday.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that RB Breece Hall, WR Adonai Mitchell and Dylan Parham all remain week to week. TE Mason Taylor and DE Kingsley Enagbare will practice Wednesday, while CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is still in the concussion protocol. Hall, Mitchell and Taylor were all ruled out for the Week 4 game against the Bears.

Packers | Matt LaFleur says Chris Brooks 'will be out today' at practice Wed Oct 7, 12:31 PM
Packers RB Chris Brooks will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Matt LaFleur said. "He'll be out today," LaFleur said of Brooks' injury.
| Footballguys view: Brooks suffered an ankle injury against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The Packers just can't catch a break at the running back position. MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson will split time if Brooks can't play. Lloyd should be the starter, but he's mostly been unimpressive this year with a larger opportunity. Johnson showed some explosion last week, although he did have a costly fumble near pay dirt. The Packers rushing attack is a work-in-progress to say the least. |

Eagles sign RB Dameon Pierce to active roster Wed Oct 7, 12:01 PM
Eagles RB Dameon Pierce is signing to the Eagles' active roster from their practice squad, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported.
| Footballguys view: Both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby are out of action for the Eagles, so Pierce could get an immediate opportunity as the no.2 back behind Will Shipley. We like Shipley as an RB3/flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 5. |

Patriots | Mack Hollins (calf) lone injury of concern, Chism in line for 'extended reps' Tue Oct 6, 07:18 AM
Patriots WR Mack Hollins, who suffered a non-contact calf injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills and never returned, was the only player unable to finish the game whose status is now in question, which head coach Mike Vrabel also said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: If Hollins is limited or unavailable this week, second-year WR Efton Chism III is expected to see extended reps in practice and on game day against the Raiders; Chism had two big catches on the game-winning drive against Buffalo, including a 23-yard touchdown. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith 'more likely' to miss London game; Shipley only healthy RB Tue Oct 6, 03:00 AM
Early indications are that Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will miss more than one game, and it seems more likely he won't be able to play against the Jaguars in London in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: With Smith out last Sunday, Darius Cooper was the prime beneficiary. He outsnapped rookie WR Makai Lemon as the team's WR2 in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams, turning a team-high seven targets into three catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns while also playing a significant special teams role. Dontayvion Wicks played the most snaps of any Eagles receiver but ranked third in targets with five. Expect this pecking order to remain in place if Smith is out again in London. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'week-to-week' with hamstring Tue Oct 6, 01:12 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered "week-to-week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Rams, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday, "We'll see," when asked about Barkley's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, adding the team would "have more answers for you probably Wednesday." With Tank Bigsby undergoing core muscle surgery and heading to injured reserve, Will Shipley, who rushed six times for 23 yards against the Rams, is the only healthy running back on the active roster. Jaydon Blue, Dameon Pierce, and Carson Steele are on the practice squad. |

Saints | Kamara runs for 23 yards, two TDs in loss to Falcons Mon Oct 5, 11:31 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara ran 7 times for 23 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 5 passes for 35 yards on 7 targets in Monday's 45-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.3.

Atlanta Falcons RB Brian Robinson ran 14 times for 62 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 5 yards on 1 target in Monday's 45-24 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 5.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.2.

Bears | Ben Johnson says Kyle Monangai (thumb) should be OK, 'day-to-day' Mon Oct 5, 04:06 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai's thumb injury is more of a day-to-day issue, and he should be OK, head coach Ben Johnson said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Monangai suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jets, when he ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns. The running back told reporters after Sunday's game that he would have further testing today, so Johnson's answer has likely been informed by those tests. We'll continue to follow up. |

Buccaneers | Bowles: Bucs need to 'find a way to split the three backs', Tucker to 'earn a few reps' Mon Oct 5, 03:47 PM
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said the team needs to get RB Sean Tucker more involved after his two-yard touchdown run and fourth-down conversion in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers. "He needs to earn a few reps. I mean, we've got to find a way to split the three backs kind of... it doesn't have to be equally, but, you know, a hot hand should be able to ride a little bit longer," Bowles said.
| Footballguys view: RB Bucky Irving started, led the team with 61 rushing yards and played 37 of 63 offensive snaps, while RB Kenny Gainwell played 27 snaps with three handoffs and caught a touchdown pass, and Tucker played three snaps, carrying three times for 10 yards. Irving is likely to remain the lead back as long as he's healthy, but it sounds like a shift in approach is coming. |

Seahawks | Emanuel Wilson plays 60 percent of snaps, Holani 37 percent in win over Chargers Mon Oct 5, 02:30 PM
Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson played 60 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers, with RB George Holani at 37 percent while rookie RB Jadarian Price was out.
| Footballguys view: Wilson turned his work into 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, plus three receptions for 39 yards and a receiving touchdown. While the Seahawks are visiting with free-agent RB Joe Mixon, with Price out at least three more weeks on IR, and Zach Charbonnet practicing but not activated, Wilson could have another solid role in Week 5 -- and perhaps beyond. |

Cardinals | Allgeier out-snaps Jeremiyah Love, who is 'frustrated with myself' as ankle is managed Mon Oct 5, 02:08 PM
Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier out-snapped rookie RB Jeremiyah Love 36-30 in Sunday's loss to the Giants, and head coach Mike LaFleur said Allgeier was on the field for the final drive mostly because of his pass protection.
| Footballguys view: Love still led the team with 14 carries for 63 yards, while Allgeier ran 8 times for 42 yards, but Love played just 11 second-half snaps and had two red-zone snaps to Allgeier's 10. As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, the Cardinals drafted Love to be the lead back. It's heading in that direction, and even if the rushing workload isn't as dominant as we'd like at this point, his receiving role will help smooth out the overall production. But there will be some week-to-week variance for Love and Allgeier in coming weeks. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet (knee) won't play in Week 5 against the 49ers Mon Oct 5, 01:02 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) won't play in Week 5 against the 49ers, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was designated to return from the physically unable to perform list last week and began practicing on Thursday. The team has until Oct. 22 to activate him. Meanwhile, FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that the Seahawks were planning to visit with free-agent RB Joe Mixon. Remember, Jadarian Price was placed on IR over the weekend. He's out at least four weeks. Emanuel Wilson worked as lead back against the Chargers and was effective in that role. Expect the former Packer to continue to get the bulk of the work until we get resolution on Charbonnet. |

Panthers | Hubbard runs for 122 yards, two TDs in win over Lions Sun Oct 4, 11:45 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 20 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 16.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.4.

Bears | Kyle Monangai has thumb injury after 146-yard, two-TD day vs. Jets Sun Oct 4, 07:58 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai has a thumb injury that is currently being evaluated, head coach Ben Johnson said after Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Monangai took over as the lead back after RB D'Andre Swift lost a fumble in the third quarter. Monangai met the media after the game, and he said he'd find out on Monday about his thumb. When asked when he hurt it and whether it was jammed, he said: "I couldn't even tell you. I just looked down at my hand, and I said, 'Oh, that hurts.'" Monangai finished the game with a career-high 30 carries, 146 yards, with two touchdowns (also a career-high), and one reception for 4 yards. |

Seahawks | Wilson runs for 81 yards, two TDs in win over Chargers Sun Oct 4, 07:47 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson ran 21 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 39 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.5.
| Footballguys view: Wilson got the nod as the lead back after rookie Jadarian Price was placed on IR. With Price out for at least four games, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer said the team will have Joe Mixon in for a visit. The team also opened Zach Charbonnet's practice window on Oct. 1. They have 21 days to add him to the active roster. But until we see significant changes, Wilson will be of interest to fantasy managers. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 177 yards, two TDs in win over Raiders Sun Oct 4, 07:47 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Ken Walker III ran 22 times for 177 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 2 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 20.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.4.
| Footballguys view: Walker's dominant run continues unabated. With 30.9 PPR points against the Raiders, Walker's four-game average sits at 27.5 points per game. He's outperforming expectations, which were relatively high heading into the season (he was drafted as RB10). The Chiefs have a Week 5 bye, so fantasy managers need a plan to cover for Walker's absence. |

Rams | Williams runs for 80 yards, two TDs, 67 receiving in win over Eagles Sun Oct 4, 04:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams ran 16 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 10 passes for 67 yards on 13 targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 15.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 31.7.
| Footballguys view: Williams drew a personal foul when he got walloped by Cooper DeJean after going airborne out of bounds in the fourth quarter with the Rams down multiple scores. He took over after that and would not be denied with the ball in his hands, scoring both touchdowns in the last five minutes that put the Rams over the top. He is leaving Blake Corum in the driveway as Williams was the heart of this team in a signature road win. Congrats if you took him in the third round. |
Kyren Williams player page
Eagles | RB Tank Bigsby leaves game late in fourth quarter Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Eagles RB Tank Bigsby was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams with 3:59 left.
| Footballguys view: He appeared to suffer a groin injury, but the team didn't give an update. Bigsby didn't do much immediately after replacing Saquon Barkley when he left with a hamstring injury, but he got warmed up in the second half before getting shaken up on a hit from Byron Young. We hope to know more about his status before making final decisions on waiver wire recommendations this week. If Bigsby and Barkley are both out in Week 5, Will Shipley will be a what-the-heck RB2/Flex against the Jaguars. |
Tank Bigsby player page
Cowboys | Williams runs for 62 yards, three TDs in win over Texans Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 19 times for 62 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 5 passes for 21 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 15.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.8.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys running game got on track last week against the Ravens in Brazil, but Williams had a bigger fantasy football outburst in Week 4 thanks to the passing game getting up and down the field on the vaunted Texans defense, setting him up with beaucoup scoring opportunities, which he converted three of. Williams is a solid RB1 who was an excellent investment of a third-round pick in your draft heading into a Thursday night home game against the Bucs. |
Javonte Williams player page
Bears | Monangai runs for 146 yards, two TDs in win over Jets Sun Oct 4, 04:01 PM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai ran 30 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 23-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 9.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.5.
| Footballguys view: D'Andre Swift wasn't on the injury report, but he missed a practice with a knee issue that Ben Johnson characterized as typical wear and tear. Swift also fumbled in this game, which could have played into Monangai taking over work in the second half after Swift had a costly goal line fumble in the Week 2 loss to the Vikings. Johnson also could have decided to rest Swift with Monangai running hot and the starter getting up slowly after his fumble. Swift was also stopped at the goal line in Week 2. Monangai might be the biggest winner in fantasy leagues in Week 4, but Swift can still be a weekly RB2/Flex play with this running game getting into gear and Caleb Williams' return coming soon. |
Kyle Monangai player page
Eagles | Saquon Barkley sidelined by hamstring injury in first quarter Sun Oct 4, 02:31 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams with 11:48 left. He will not return (hamstring).
| Footballguys view: Barkley has left two games with injuries in four weeks. He returned after suffering a shoulder stinger in Week 2, but didn't add much in the second half. This time, he won't have a chance to even do that. Tank Bigsby got most of the work over Will Shipley once Barkley left, and he warmed up down the stretch, but then he appeared to suffer a groin injury late. The Jaguars are up next week, and even though that's a revenge game for Bigsby, he's not going to be more than a flex play next week after the Jaguars smothered the Bengals running game in Week 4 -- that is if he is even available. Will Shipley would be a what-the-heck RB2/Flex if both Barkley and Bigsby are out next week. |

Commanders RB Austin Ekeler is active for Sunday's game against the Colts. With RB Rachaad White out, Ekeler can help as the third-down back and kick returner, roles in which he has excelled. Ekeler is in a new system and only arrived this week, so his workload from scrimmage is uncertain.

Titans | Tyjae Spears (ankle) 'expected to play' Sunday against Ravens Sun Oct 4, 07:05 AM

Seahawks | Rookie RB Jadarian Price to IR, out at least four weeks Sat Oct 3, 03:54 PM
The Seahawks are placing first-round pick RB Jadarian Price on injured reserve due to the chest injury he aggravated at practice this week. Price will now miss a minimum of four weeks. He had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Price will miss at least the next four games, including matchups against the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs, making the return of Zach Charbonnet, who was designated to return to practice this week, even more meaningful. Charbonnet's status will be something to watch over the next two weeks. Taking Price's place on the roster is Velus Jones Jr., who was signed off the practice squad Saturday afternoon. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet seen working to the side early in Friday's practice Fri Oct 2, 06:05 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was shown on video working to the side early in practice on Friday.

Seahawks | Seahawks RB Jadarian Price will miss Sunday's game Fri Oct 2, 04:39 PM
The Seahawks will face the Chargers without rookie running back Jadarian Price.
| Footballguys view: Price appeared on track to play this week, but aggravated his chest/shoulder injury in practice and will not play. In his absence, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson should split the duties, both garnering RB3 rankings in Week 4. Zach Charbonnet returned to practice this week, and if Price misses extended time, his return could be a huge benefit. We'll wait for more news on Price's injury, but fantasy managers can replace Price in their lineups until then. |
Jadarian Price player page
Titans | RB Tyjae Spears returns to full practice Fri Oct 2, 04:00 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: A full practice makes it almost certain that Spears will play this weekend. With Tony Pollard also expected to be active, touches will likely be split between the two backs. With how the Titans' offense has struggled to start this season, it's hard to rely on any running back as more than a desperation RB3. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Bears | D'Andre Swift carries no injury designation for Week 4; Caleb Williams out Fri Oct 2, 03:00 PM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Jets. QB Caleb Williams and OL Braxton Jones are ruled out, and S Cam Lewis is doubtful after not practicing on Friday. DT Shemar Turner, LB Noah Sewell and CB Kyler Gordon, all on the PUP list, were full participants in practice.
| Footballguys view: Swift unexpectedly popped up on Thursday's injury report as a DNP for a knee injury, but it sounds more like a veteran rest day than a true DNP. Especially after Swift fully participated in Wednesday's walkthrough, Thursday's absence was a surprise. It's not uncommon for the Bears to manage Swift's workload during the week. He is off to a blistering start and is currently the RB7 in PPR leagues. Get him in your lineup as a back-end RB1. |
D'Andre Swift player page
Titans | Tony Pollard 'good to go', Spears heading 'in the right direction' Fri Oct 2, 02:33 PM
Titans RB Tony Pollard (foot) practiced again on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's game at the Ravens. RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) also practiced Friday, and head coach Robert Saleh said he is heading in the right direction. S Kevin Winston Jr., added to the injury report Thursday with a shoulder injury, did not practice Friday; Saleh said Winston will be monitored: "Obviously we'll see how he feels." DT John Franklin-Myers (back) practiced again Friday and is good to go.
| Footballguys view: Pollard and Spears both opened the week as DNPs, but both running backs returned to practice on Thursday. Pollard's participation was listed as full, while Spears has been limited. The Titans have a tough matchup against the Ravens this week, but Pollard would be a decent volume-based RB2 if Spears can't go. If Spears is active, a split backfield in this matchup could be hard to predict, and both running backs would fall into the back-end RB4 tier. |
