Kenneth Walker III Injury Update
Walker (oblique) managed to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, but he's still listed as doubtful for Week 3 versus Miami. It's looking like the Seahawks' backfield will be led by Zach Charbonnet for the second consecutive game.

Joe Mixon Injury Update
Mixon (ankle) was not able to practice at all this week. As a result, he's officially listed as doubtful heading into Sunday's clash with the Vikings. A victim of the hip-drop tackle, Mixon joins Dameon Pierce (hamstring) on the injury report. Cam Akers should start at running back for Houston this weekend.

Rachaad White Injury Update
White (groin) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. As a result, he has been removed from the injury report. Tampa Bay's top running back will suit up in Week 3, ranking as a mid-to-high RB2 option for fantasy purposes.

Raheem Mostert Injury Update
Mostert (chest) is officially doubtful to play against the Seahawks on Sunday after he was limited in three consecutive practices. The veteran sat out Week 2, and now it appears he'll be sidelined this upcoming weekend, too. De'Von Achane is the only Miami running back worth deploying in all fantasy leagues.

Tyjae Spears Injury Update
Spears (ankle) has gradually progressed this week, going from a non-participant on Wednesday to a full participant on Friday. He's still listed as questionable to face the Packers, but the expectation is that he'll be able to play. Spears ranks as a fringe top-36 fantasy running back in his role behind Tony Pollard.

Tank Bigsby Injury Update
Bigsby (shoulder) was limited in back-to-back practices heading into the weekend. The Jaguars don't play until Monday, giving them an extra day to evaluate Bigsby's health before giving him an official injury designation. We should know more about his status by Saturday evening.

Tyler Allgeier Injury Update
Allgeier (hip) finished the week as a full participant and does not carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game. As long as Bijan Robinson is healthy, Allgeier will remain the clear No. 2 in Atlanta, ranking as a fringe top-36 fantasy running back.

Dameon Pierce Injury Update
Pierce (hamstring) was not able to practice at all this week. As a result, he has already been ruled out heading into Sunday's clash with the Vikings. Both Pierce (hamstring) and Joe Mixon (ankle) are on the injury report, leaving Cam Akers in line to start at running back for Houston this weekend.

Jeff Wilson Jr. Injury Update
Wilson (oblique) closed out the week as a full participant. He has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Seahawks this weekend. Even with Mostert (chest) expected to be sidelined, Wilson will still operate behind De'Von Achane, making the veteran an unreliable fantasy option.

Pierre Strong Jr. Injury Update
Strong (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 3 after missing three consecutive practices. D'Onta Foreman will operate as Jerome Ford's backup for the time being. Foreman has touchdown potential, but he falls outside the top 50 fantasy running backs.

Travis Homer Injury Update
Homer (finger) has been placed on IR, forcing him to miss a minimum of four weeks. The earliest he can return is Week 8. The veteran had three carries for 16 yards over his first two games of the season. He remains off the fantasy radar in all formats.
