Dalvin Cook (78 last week) 90
Cook is questionable with an ankle injury, but almost suited up Week 3 and should be fully effective Week 4. The Vikings running back has 192 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown in two games, plus 8 catches for 60 yards.
Saquon Barkley (46 last week) 59
The star Giants running back is still recovering from an ACL tear he suffered in his right knee last season. However, he scored his first TD since the injury in Week 3 and should look more like himself every week.
Aaron Jones (96 last week) 92
Jones was limited in practice all week with an ankle injury, but should play and be effective. The Packers running back suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 win, but returned to the game.
Melvin Gordon III (94 last week) 88
The Broncos running back is questionable with rib and lower leg injuries he suffered in the Week 3 win over the Jets. Gordon played the entire game last week and should be effective against the Ravens’ defense.
Darrell Henderson Jr. (72 last week) 90
Henderson missed last week with a rib cartilage injury. Head coach Sean McVay said he expects the 24-year-old to play this week.
Antonio Gibson (90 last week) 92
Gibson did not practice Thursday with a shin injury and was limited in practice on Friday. He is questionable, but should play through the injury and be effective against the Falcons.
D’Andre Swift (79 last week) 89
Swift is still dealing with a groin injury, but played especially well last week. He will play against the Bears.
Jonathan Taylor (98 last week) 87
The second-year running back was limited all week with a knee injury. He is listed as questionable, but will suit up against the 1-2 Dolphins
Elijah Mitchell/Trey Sermon (4 last week) 19
Mitchell missed last week with a shoulder injury and will miss this week as well against the Seahawks. Sermon suffered a concussion in Week 2, but played in Week 3 and will be the starting running back this week.
