Blake Corum is listed RB2 on the Los Angeles Rams depth chart behind Kyren Williams. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Dean Connors: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Material change in usage, not in value: Corum was used as a pure breather back on Oct. 4, held to five carries for 14 yards and a seven-yard catch while being out-touched 26-6 by Williams, and an Oct. 2 beat report said the Rams need more from him. Still the premium handcuff in the league - durable, decisive, trusted on all three downs, and one Williams injury from an every-down role.
Starter injury history: 2023: high ankle sprain (his second in two years) cost him four games on IR. 2024: played every game but the rested finale. 2025: 295 touches across all 17 games, including an in-game ankle scare in late November that cost him nothing. 2026: no reported injury through Week 4, when he played a full 26-touch workload. Two-plus clean seasons after an injury-marred start.
Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.
Next up behind Tyler Allgeier; depth chart RB3.
Rest of the stableJerome Ford (RB4)ExpandCollapse
Jerome FordRB4change of pace0% rostered · free long shotArizona's transaction log shows him signed to the practice squad Oct. 14 and elevated Nov. 7 for Week 9 (date-only entries). With Jeremiyah Love on IR since Nov. 3 and Bam Knight out with a concussion, Ford is short-term depth behind Tyler Allgeier, who reclaimed the lead job after 147 yards at Dallas. Complementary touches at best.
Injury history: No verified 2026 injury has been reported for him. He is absent from Arizona's Week 9 injury report published Nov. 6, which does not by itself establish health. No missed games are on record this season, so no return timetable applies.

Evan Hull is listed RB3 on the Arizona Cardinals depth chart behind Tyler Allgeier. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Trey Benson: Out (espn_rosters) Jeremiyah Love: Out (espn_rosters) James Conner: Out (espn_rosters) Bam Knight: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Roster question resolved: Arizona's transaction log shows him promoted from the practice squad to the active roster on Oct. 24 (date-only entry). With Love on IR since Nov. 3 and Bam Knight in concussion protocol, he is the likeliest No. 2 behind Allgeier for Week 9 - but no offensive role has ever been reported for him, and the team also floated elevating Jerome Ford.
Starter injury history: Durable across four Atlanta seasons (2022-2025) with no reported multi-game absences. The Week 8 toe issue (DNP Oct. 28, limited Thursday and Friday, no game status) cost him no game, and he is not listed on Arizona's Nov. 4 Week 9 practice report; absence from a report is not a clearance, but no new issue has been reported.
Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.
Next up behind Zach Charbonnet; depth chart RB2.
Rest of the stableEmanuel Wilson (RB4), George Holani (RB3)ExpandCollapse
Emanuel WilsonRB4three down34% rostered · likely freeThe borrowed job is about to end. Wilson is off the Oct. 29 Week 8 report, but Charbonnet practiced in full that day and rookie Jadarian Price was designated for return from IR the same day, both in play for Monday night vs Chicago. Production was already thin at 3.4 yards per carry. Take the Week 8 start, then expect an abrupt handover.
Injury history: An undisclosed injury sidelined him during the 2026 preseason; he returned for Week 1 and the nature and severity were never reported. No significant absences across three prior seasons in Green Bay and Seattle, and he is again absent from Seattle's Week 8 injury report of Oct. 29. Missing injury data does not establish health.
54score
George HolaniRB3receiving4% rostered · free long shotHealthy but squeezed. Holani carries no designation for Monday night vs. Chicago, yet both Charbonnet (knee) and Price (chest) were cleared this week, making Seattle's backfield whole for the first time in 2026. He had been the passing-down complement behind Emanuel Wilson; with two higher-pedigree backs back, his snap share should shrink. Situational pass-game depth, not a hold.
Injury history: No significant reported absences since entering the league in 2024. 2026: a knee appeared on the Week 3 report and a rib injury limited him in Week 4 and Week 5 prep, but he has missed no games. He is not listed on Seattle's Oct. 31 injury report, so the rib issue appears resolved; absence from a report does not by itself establish full health.

Jadarian Price is listed RB2 on the Seattle Seahawks depth chart behind Zach Charbonnet. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Robbie Ouzts: Out (espn_rosters) Jacardia Wright: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: He is back on the field: in his first game since IR, a Week 8 loss to Chicago, Price led Seattle's backs with 10 carries for 29 yards and 2 catches for 8 yards (Rotoworld, Nov. 3, date-only evidence). Zach Charbonnet, himself back from a torn ACL, drew the start, so the rookie returns to a committee rather than the early-down lead he held in September. Efficiency was poor.
Starter injury history: Tore his left ACL in Seattle's Jan. 17, 2026 divisional-round win over San Francisco; opened 2026 on reserve/PUP, designated to return Oct. 1, activated Oct. 22, and missed every game through Week 7. Knee: full Thursday, limited Friday, and no game status on the club's Oct. 31 report, where Macdonald confirmed he will play Monday. No workload cap or snap plan has been disclosed.

Next up behind Ashton Jeanty; depth chart RB2.
Rest of the stableDylan Laube (RB3), Connor Heyward (FB1)ExpandCollapse
Dylan LaubeRB3change of pace0% rostered · free long shot2024 sixth-rounder whose value is on special teams: a 25.9-yard kick-return average and 855 return yards in 2025, 10th in the league. Third in the pecking order with minimal offensive usage. If Jeanty missed time the work would go primarily to Mike Washington Jr., leaving Laube a complementary piece.
Injury history: No 2026 injury designation reported through Week 2 and no significant injury history located in the sources reviewed; he was available for return duty throughout 2025. Missing injury data is not evidence of durability.
43score
Connor HeywardFB1fullback0% rostered · free long shotH-back/fullback signed after four seasons in Pittsburgh and listed FB1 on the Week 1 depth chart. Brings blocking, receiving and special-teams value with five career scrimmage touchdowns. Las Vegas values his versatility, but he is not a candidate for meaningful carries behind Jeanty.
Injury history: No 2026 injury designation reported through Week 2. No significant injury history surfaced in the sources reviewed, which is not the same as a verified clean record — his Pittsburgh-era availability was not checked in this pass.

Mike Washington Jr. is listed RB2 on the Las Vegas Raiders depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Chris Collier: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: First real injury of his career, and it is trending the wrong way: limited Wednesday, DNP Thursday, absent Friday, with Rotoworld calling the Questionable tag tenuous and him a long shot to suit up. He is still Jeanty's direct backup on the Oct. 20 unofficial depth chart, with Dylan Laube next up if he sits. When healthy, about the cleanest one-man handcuff available.
Starter injury history: 2025 rookie year: 975 rushing yards, 55 catches, no long absence. The Aug. 2026 camp ankle sprain has lingered all season without costing a game. Week 5: full Wednesday, limited Thursday, no practice Friday with ankle/foot, questionable; he tested it in warmups and was active vs. New England Oct. 11. No games missed, no timetable outstanding; a week-to-week item.

Next up behind Christian McCaffrey; depth chart RB2.
Rest of the stableJordan James (RB3), Kyle Juszczyk (FB1)ExpandCollapse
Jordan JamesRB3three down1% rostered · free long shotSecond-year back who lost the No. 2 job to third-round rookie Kaelon Black, who Shanahan said earned it in training camp while James was slowed by a camp rib injury. Healthy for Week 2 and the next man up if Black's groin sits him, but as RB3 his handcuff case is weaker than it was a month ago.
Injury history: No significant reported injury absences since entering the league in 2025; missed 2026 training camp time with a rib injury. Carries no designation on San Francisco's Week 2 injury report (dated 9/18).
63score
Kyle JuszczykFB1fullback0% rostered · free long shotThe absence is over: a full practice Saturday, Oct. 17 and no injury designation for the Monday night game against Washington, after missing one game with the knee sprain and bone bruise. Still the linchpin of Shanahan's blocking and play-action looks. No Week 7 report for him was located this cycle, so treat his current status as unverified. Never a backfield contingency.
Injury history: 2026: hurt in the fourth quarter of the Oct. 4 win over Denver; an MRI showed a knee sprain and bone bruise, with Shanahan saying the ACL looked intact and ESPN reporting an expected two-to-three-week absence. He missed the Seattle game, practiced in full Saturday, Oct. 17 and carried no designation for the Washington game - one game missed. Age 35.

Kaelon Black is listed RB2 on the San Francisco 49ers depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Isaac Guerendo: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: His stock just moved: he scored the first NFL touchdown of his career in the Oct. 25 loss at Atlanta, the same game in which McCaffrey strained a hamstring. San Francisco is on bye in Week 8 and Shanahan is optimistic about McCaffrey for after it, so Black is the handcuff, not the starter - but the rookie who won the No. 2 job in camp benefits directly from any absence.
Starter injury history: 2024: missed 13 games (bilateral Achilles tendinitis/calf, then a right knee PCL sprain). 2025: played all 17. 2026, age 30: a hamstring strain in the Oct. 25 loss at Atlanta, first reported as a thigh issue; Shanahan called it mild. He used the Week 8 bye, practised in full on Friday and was removed from the injury report before Week 9. No game missed in 2026.

Backfield news: Emari Demercado: Out (espn_rosters) Malik Davis: Out (espn_rosters) Tyler Goodson: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Lead-blocking fullback and special-teams core player who occasionally gets a short-yardage touch. Not part of the running back rotation in any meaningful way.
Starter injury history: 2022: multi-ligament knee injury. 2024: full season in Denver. 2025 (DAL): 16 games, 1,201 rush yards and 11 TD on 252 carries, then finished on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. 2026: healthy - no injury designation through three games and he was one of only two active RBs for the Week 3 game in Brazil.
