Cunningham toted the ball twice for 0 yards and caught a pair of passes for 4 yards in a 24-22 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham averaged a single yard every time he touched the ball, although he still touched the ball more than fellow running back Tre Mason. Cunningham will continue to see the field on third down and catch a pass or two, but don't expect too much more than Sunday's output.

Cunningham (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Arizona, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham will take a back seat to Tre Mason and (to a greater extent) Todd Gurley, as the latter grows more accustomed to the professional game. However, as the season rolls along, Cunningham should continue to factor into the offense as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Cunningham (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game in Arizona, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was a late addition to the injury report for Friday, with a minor knee issue holding him out of practice. He's still expected to play, albeit in a limited role now that Todd Gurley and Tre Mason are both healthy. Cunningham won't see much work outside of obvious passing situations.

Cunningham rushed once for 12 yards and caught both of his targets for 18 receiving yards Sunday against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Rookie Todd Gurley made his NFL debut Sunday and is clearly ahead of Cunningham on the depth chart. Additionally, Tre Mason led the team with nine carries, and while he and Gurley both failed to average even two yards per carry, Cunningham's still unlikely to get a significant workload if the other backs are healthy.

Cunningham rushed once for zero yards and caught four passes on six targets for 27 receiving yards during Sunday's loss at Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Tre Mason returned from his hamstring injury to start over Cunningham, but the former rushed just seven times for 26 yards while catching two passes for four receiving yards. Cunningham was certainly more impressive in Week 1, when Mason was out, and his ability to catch passes out of the backfield may allow him to keep getting looks on third down, but with rookie Todd Gurley expected to make his NFL debut in Week 3, Cunningham's fantasy impact isn't likely to be nearly as high as it was in the regular-season opener.

Cunningham is likely to see a reduction in touches from Week 1, with Tre Mason (hamstring) active Sunday against the Texans, though rookie Todd Gurley (knee) remains out.
EDGE Analysis
Mason was questionable coming into the game after missing Week 1, but his return will push Cunningham to more of a third-down role. Gurley (knee) was close to playing after returning to practice this week, but he is inactive once more, giving Cunningham one more week to make a fantasy impact before he goes down to third on the depth chart.

Cunningham rushed 16 times for 45 yards and caught four passes on a team-high seven targets for 77 receiving yards Sunday against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham was always expected to be a solid contributor in PPR leagues, but he got an increase in carries Sunday with Tre Mason (hamstring) and Todd Gurley (knee) both inactive. Isaiah Pead was the only other running back to get a touch, rushing twice for three yards and losing a fumble. Mason was close to playing Sunday, so he's got a legitimate chance at starting in Week 2 against the Redskins, though Cunningham will continue to be active in the passing game.

Cunningham is the Rams' starting running back Sunday against the Seahawks, NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Todd Gurley (knee) and Tre Mason (hamstring) out of the picture, Cunningham will act as the Rams' top running back in Week 1. Filling a pass-catching role last season, Cunningham torched the Seahawks' normally stout defense for a combined 12 receptions for 103 yards and one touchdown in two divisional matchups. With a three-down role in hand, his production could prove fruitful in a likely one-week showing.

Cunningham's teammate, Tre Mason (hamstring), is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tre Mason missed the entire week of practice, and his availability may come down to a game-time decision. The matchup is obviously a tough one, but Cunningham could dominate the snaps if Mason can't suit up.

Cunningham won't take the field for Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Todd Gurley in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL and Tre Mason dealing with a sore hamstring, the potential exists for Cunningham to get the nod at running back in the regular season opener against the Seahawks. Ultimately, Mason's ability, or lack thereof, to practice this coming week will determine Cunningham's workload in Week 1.
