Week 1 exposed a shifting NFL RB landscape. Chase Brown and Tony Pollard led their teams with workhorse workloads, logging over 80% of rushing attempts and the vast majority of scrimmage touches, signaling sustained high-volume roles to come.

Travis Etienne asserted himself as Jacksonville’s true bell cow after Tank Bigsby shipped out, while Kenneth Walker III ceded prominent work to Zach Charbonnet in Seattle. Jordan Mason surfaced for Minnesota, and Week 2 matchups loom as fantasy managers chase these trendlines.
