Cunningham will re-sign with the Bears, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Cunningham will thus reprise his role as a depth back and core special teams player for the Bears after carrying nine times for 29 yards and catching 20 passes for 240 yards and two TDs for the team in 2017. From a fantasy standpoint, however, Cunningham is clearly behind both lead back Jordan Howard and top change-of-pace man Tarik Cohen.

Cunningham is visiting the Buccaneers on Sunday, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: This is Cunningham's first reported visit in free agency, with the 27-year-old finally drawing some interest now that the top running backs are off the market. He'd likely compete for a passing-down role and special teams work in Tampa Bay, potentially serving as a low-cost replacement for fellow free agent Charles Sims. Cunningham had nine carries for 29 yards and 20 catches for 240 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games with the Bears last season. He's averaged 4.3 yards on 180 career carries…read more

Cunningham caught one pass for six yards in the Week 17's 23-10 loss to the VIkings. He ended the season with nine carries for 29 yards along with 20 receptions (on 26 targets) for 240 yards and two touchdowns.
Analysis: Cunningham was a core special-teamer who returned 26 kickoffs and also shared passing-down work out of the backfield with Tarik Cohen. WIth his one-year contract having expired, he'll be an unrestricted free agent and should have no trouble latching onto a similar role with another squad if he doesn't re-sign with the Bears. With an average of 40 touches over the last three years, he'll likely continue to be a depth option in fantasy leagues.

Cunningham caught four passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's defeat to the Lions.
Analysis: Cunningham was largely invisible until the Bears fell behind 20-3 in the second half, then found himself frequently operating as the receiving back in the hurry-up offense. As a result, he was targeted five times, and was able to turn a screen pass into a short touchdown in the fourth quarter. His 33 yards of offense was his highest total since Week 4, and this was the first time he posted 20 yards of offense in any of his last five games. With fewer than 200 total yards on the season, he…read more

Cunningham caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bengals.
Analysis: For the second straight week, Cunningham has taken a backseat to rookie phenom Tarik Cohen, as he only served as an occasional third-down back. With just 11 touches over the last six games, he's offered fantasy owners very little production.

Cunningham hauled in one pass for nine yards while losing a yard on his only rushing attempt in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Even though the Bears were playing with a significant deficit for the majority of this contest, Cunningham was targeted just twice. He's yet to touch the football more than five times in any game this season, making him a low-upside fantasy option.

Cunningham caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: After seeing more work than rookie Tarik Cohen last week, the veteran took a back seat to the rookie in this contest. He's been held to fewer than 10 yards in two of his last three games, and he's a low-upside fantasy option with a scary floor in PPR leagues.

Cunningham caught three passes for 32 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: On Cunningham's biggest play of the day, a 23-yard reception, he tried to extend the ball into the end zone, but replay determined that he lost control of the ball, resulting in a lost fumble and a touchback. Although he's rushed three times for four yards over the last three games, he's also caught seven passes for 75 yards during that span, making him a dart-throw flex option in PPR leagues.

Cunningham (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at New Orleans.
Analysis: Available for the first time since Week 6, Cunningham will likely pick up more reps on special teams than offense yet again due to the two-headed monster of Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen out of the backfield. Barring an ailment to one of the duo, Cunningham will remain a non-entity in the fantasy realm.

Cunningham (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cunningham is a solid pass-catching back, but behind Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen on the depth chart, he rarely gets a chance to shine. He has notched one receiving touchdown this season, but even if he's unable to play Sunday, it won't change the Bears' offensive dynamic much.

Cunningham (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The hamstring injury sidelined Cunningham during the Bears' Week 7 win over the Panthers, and it's unclear if he's made enough progress in his recovery to suit up Sunday against the Saints. He was limited throughout practices all last week before ultimately sitting out, so the Bears may need to see Cunningham put in a full practice Thursday or Friday to feel good about his chances of playing Sunday.

Cunningham (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.
Analysis: Cunningham was unlikely to see much action behind the Bears' two-headed running back monster in the form of Tarik Cohen and Jordan Howard. Don't expect Cunningham's absence to impact the offense greatly.

Cunningham (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Cunningham doesn't have much offensive potential sitting behind Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen in the depth chart, but he has been used occasionally in pass-catching scenarios. If he can't go Sunday, it won't shake up the Bears' offensive game plan, though.

The Bears listed Cunningham (hamstring) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Cunningham, who exited Sunday's overtime win over the Ravens with the hamstring injury, was also limited in Wednesday's session. The expectation remains that Cunningham will suit up Sunday against the Panthers, but if he plays, he'll provide most of his value to the Bears as a special-teams player rather than in his role as the team's third-string running back. In fact, Cunningham's lone touchdown on the season came on a fake-punt pass play in the Week 5 loss to the Vikings.

Cunningham is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Cunningham only has six carries and five receptions in four games this season, so his absence won't hurt fantasy owners. However, he's a valued kick returner, and rookie Tarik Cohen will take over there until Cunningham is healthy.

Cunningham caught two passes for 42 yards and a touchdown while adding one carry for four yards in Monday's loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Cunningham's touchdown came on a fake punt, though he did break a pair of tackles after catching the pass. Otherwise, he was a minor part of the game plan, as he touched the ball twice with the regular offense on the field. He'll have elevated fantasy value should the Bears suffer an injury to one of their top two running backs, but in any case, it's unlikely he'd have more than flex value in any situation.

Cunningham had five carries for 26 yards in Thursday's 35-14 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Cunningham saw most of his work in the fourth quarter when the game was out of hand, though he had two carries in the first half. He's shown over the last two weeks that he's a small part of Chicago's backfield rotation, but with just eight touches during that time, he's a weak fantasy option.

Cunningham caught three passes for 23 yards in Sunday's victory over the Steelers.
Analysis: Cunningham made a quick return after missing the Week 2 contest with an ankle injury, but immediately resumed his role as a passing-down specialist. He was targeted three times, which was one fewer than rookie sensation Tarik Cohen, but Cunningham is a very reliable blocker, so it wasn't a big surprise that he had a role in the game plan. It's unlikely that he'll see enough consistent targets to become a reliable fantasy option.

Cunningham (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Diagnosed with a left high-ankle sprain after Week 1, Cunningham has required just a week and a half to achieve a full practice. The Bears still have one question mark in the backfield, though, as Jordan Howard's right shoulder continues to ail him. If Howard's snap count is kept in check Sunday versus the Steelers, Cunningham may receive reps beyond kick-return duties, but Tarik Cohen and even Taquan Mizzell are better candidates to pick up carries and targets.

Cunningham (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.
Analysis: The session marks Cunningham's first since suffering a left high-ankle sprain in the regular-season opener. Because such injuries are typically accompanied by a multi-week absence, he may have been testing the waters Wednesday. If he proves healthy enough to suit up Sunday against the Steelers, he may be hard-pressed to wrest pass-catching duties from rookie Tarik Cohen, though first- and second-down work could be available due to the shoulder injury plaguing starting RB Jordan Howard at the…read more

Cunningham (ankle) is inactive Sunday for the Bears' Week 2 game against the Buccaneers, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cunningham played just six snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Falcons before suffering a high-ankle sprain and exiting the contest. That type of injury usually requires multiple weeks to heal, so it's no surprise that Cunningham, who listed as doubtful heading into Week 2, will end up missing at least one game. He serves an important role for the Bears on special teams, but with Jordan Howard and rookie Tarik Cohen seemingly entrenched as the team's top two backs, Cunningham wouldn't have been in…read more

Cunningham (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cunningham suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's season opening loss to the Falcons and has not practiced this week. It seems improbable that the 27-year-old will be ready for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, and will more likely need at least a couple of weeks to recover.

Cunningham has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Cunningham was carted to the locker room during Sunday's loss to Atlanta, finishing with one kickoff return for 23 yards. He only logged four snaps on offense while serving as the No. 3 running back behind Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen. With Cunningham likely to miss time, undrafted rookie Taquan Mizzell could be active for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.

Cunningham (knee) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Falcons, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Cunningham required assistance to reach the sideline, where his left knee was examined, according to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times. Shortly thereafter, a cart was ordered up to transport Cunningham to the locker room. If he remains out, rookie Tarik Cohen will complement starter Jordan Howard as the Bears' pass-catching back.

Cunningham rushed twice for seven yards in Sunday's win over the Titans.
Analysis: Cunningham made his first appearance during the two-minute drill at the end of the first half, and re-entered the game in the second half, though he didn't see much game action. With Jeremy Langford active after missing most of the preseason, it's likely that the coaching staff was giving Langford an extended look as they likely know what they have in Cunningham.

Cunningham rushed three times for 1 yard while catching two of three targets for an additional 15 yards and a touchdown Saturday against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Cunningham was on the field with both the starters and reserves, but when he was on the field with the first-string, he was used in a pass-catching role. He also gave the Bears great field position after returning a kickoff for 41 yards. On his touchdown, he found himself open in the flat when he caught a short pass from Mitch Trubisky and ran the ball into the end zone. His potential role in the offense is still being defined, though it's a near certainty that he'll be on the roster.

Cunningham rushed for 41 yards on seven carries and a touchdown while also catching both of his two targets for 25 yards during Thursday's preseason opener against Denver.
Analysis: While Cunningham is currently buried on the depth chart, he proved to be a capable third-down back with pass-catching ability through the past four seasons with the Rams. He probably has a steep uphill climb to fantasy value, but Cunningham's experience should land him a spot on Chicago's 53-man roster to begin the season.

Analysis: Cunningham was unable to practice this week because of his neck problem, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he's inactive for Sunday's contest.

According to head coach Jeff Fisher, Cunningham "probably won't do much this week" due to an undisclosed injury, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Cunningham lost a yard on his only carry in Week 13, proving that he is not much of a factor in the Rams offense. Stay updated on his progress, but whether he misses this week's game against the Falcons or not, it should not affect Los Angeles' already ineffective run game significantly.

Cunningham had one carry for negative-one yard during Sunday's loss to New England.
Analysis: Cunningham did return four kickoffs for 92 yards, but in the majority of fantasy leagues, those gains don't move the needle. At this point, Cunningham likely isn't worth a roster spot in most formats. Even if he ascended to the top of the depth chart, there likely isn't much upside, considering the inept Los Angeles offensive attack.

Cunningham caught his only target for 12 yards and didn't have a rushing attempt during Sunday's loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Since the Rams' Week 8 bye, Cunningham has rushed only 11 times for 57 yards and caught 10 passes for 48 yards through four games. While he's been effective on the ground (5.2 yards per attempt), his volume in the offense doesn't offer much fantasy upside. At this stage of the season, Cunningham is probably best viewed as an insurance policy for Todd Gurley owners or a lottery ticket in deep leagues.

Cunningham only saw the field on 17 offensive snaps and rushed twice for seven yards while catching just one of three targets for negative-three yards during Sunday's loss to Miami.
Analysis: Cunningham's involvement in the offense has been shifting between minimal and non-existent, and he offers limited fantasy potential. Outside of being a desperation handcuff to Todd Gurley in deep leagues, it likely isn't worth owning Cunningham.

Cunningham rushed six times for 40 yards and caught three of five targets for seven yards during Sunday's win over the Jets.
Analysis: The opportunities remain limited for Cunningham, and while he's shown well when given an opportunity (5.3 yards per tote), the volume isn't there to consider him much more than a desperation stash/handcuff for Todd Gurley owners. Further discouraging is Cunningham's attachment to the league's lowest-scoring offense. Barring an injury to Gurley, Cunningham is unlikely to warrant much fantasy attention.

Cunningham rushed three times for 10 yards and caught five of six targets for 32 yards during Sunday's loss to Carolina.
Analysis: There haven't been many opportunities for Cunningham behind Todd Gurley. However, Week 9 saw the snap counts between the two backs closer than in the previous two games, as Gurley received 43 offensive snaps compared to Cunningham's 25. Still, Cunningham is likely best viewed as a desperation stash/handcuff for Gurley owners, and being attached to the underwhelming Los Angeles' offense further limits Cunningham's fantasy potential.

Analysis: Cunningham played just 13 of 58 offensive snaps in Week 6 against the Lions, but even with a few extra repetitions Sunday, he failed to move the fantasy needle. The 26-year-old running back is firmly behind Todd Gurley in the backfield, and it will almost certainly take a Gurley injury for Cunningham to become a contributing fantasy asset.

Cunningham received just 13 of 58 offensive snaps during Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: While he made the most of his opportunities (two rushes for nine yards and two receptions for 14 yards), the volume isn't there for Cunningham to be a viable fantasy asset. Todd Gurley caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, as he continues to be utilized more in the passing attack to Cunningham's detriment. At this point, it appears almost certain that it will take a Gurley injury for Cunningham to become fantasy relevant.

Cunningham snatched two passes for 14 yards and carried the ball twice for nine yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit.
Analysis: The running game was supposed to carry Los Angeles this season, with Cunningham serving a supplementary role behind last year's phenom, Todd Gurley. Instead, the Rams rank 31st in the league in yards per carry and 28th in yards per game. With less production from that side of the offense, there's less for Cunningham to do. He, in turn, is on pace for career lows in the rushing and receiving columns.

His return should bump Malcolm Brown out of the picture, and it could cut into a few of Todd Gurley's passing-down snaps.

His absence should open up a handful of reps for rookie Malcolm Brown, who had an impressive preseason, but should also result in an uptick in workload for Todd Gurley.

Cunningham (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Jack Wang of the LA Daily News reports.
Analysis: Cunningham was forced out of last week's win over Arizona, and while he wasn't listed on the Wednesday injury report, he showed up as a limited participant both Thursday and Friday. It's unclear if he suffered an aggravation, or if it was just a slight oversight by the Rams earlier in the week. Cunningham doesn't have much stand-alone value, but a potential absence could lead to a few more targets for Todd Gurley.

Cunningham (thigh) was limited in practice on Thursday.
Analysis: Cunningham was absent from Wednesday's injury report, which makes it a bit peculiar to see him as a limited participant on Thursday. The team could just be giving the back some extra rest so he's fresh for Sunday, but look for a more official report to come out sometime before kickoff. If he is ruled out, Malcolm Brown should see increased reps behind Todd Gurley.

Cunningham (hamstring) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Cunningham was forced from Week 4's matchup with a hamstring injury and already appears to be healthy enough to play in Week 5, given his absence from the injury report. The fourth-year pro offers depth at running back and sees work on third-down sets, but at this point is only a handcuff to starter Todd Gurley and his massive workload.

Cunningham (hamstring) may be able to practice this week, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official website reports.
Analysis: While Cunningham doesn't have much stand-alone value, his absence from the second half of Sunday's game in Arizona helped Todd Gurley set career-high marks in receptions (five) and receiving yards (49). Cunningham had been getting most of the work on obvious passing downs, albeit with just three receptions to show for it this season. Other than boosting Gurley's value, a Cunningham absence wouldn't have much impact on either the Rams or fantasy teams.

Cunningham is questionable to return to Sunday's game agaisnt the Cardinals after suffering a hamstring injury, Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Cunningham suffered his injury early in the second half of Sunday's tilt, though the specifics of the issue are still unclear. Malcolm Brown will be the primary backup to Todd Gurley as long as Cunningham is out.

Cunningham rushed twice for 29 yards and caught his only target for 10 yards in the Rams' 37-32 victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday
Analysis: The Middle Tennessee State product remained largely uninvolved in the offense, as bell cow RB Todd Gurley garnered 27 of the Rams' 33 rushing attempts. To boot, wide receiver Tavon Austin received just as many carries as Cunningham, though Cunningham did finish with more rushing yards because he took one of his totes for a team-high 22-yard scamper. It's hard to envision his role increasing moving forward, though, especially when considering he has now received just four carries on the season…read more

Cunningham (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, ESPN's Alden Gonzalez reports.
Analysis: While Cunningham has minimal stand-alone value, an absence could lead to more passing-down work for Todd Gurley, who is off to an extremely disappointing start. However, the impact probably wouldn't be too significant, as Cunningham has just four touches through two weeks.

Cunningham rushed one time for two yards and added one reception (on two targets) for seven yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Cunningham has now tallied four touches and 17 total yards in the Rams' first two games. Starting running back Todd Gurley is a true bell-cow, and as long as Gurley remains healthy, Cunningham is likely going to have a diminished role in the Rams' offense.

Cunningham ran the ball one time for one yard and recorded one reception for seven yards in Monday's loss to the 49ers. He also had two kickoff returns for 59 yards.
Analysis: Cunningham, along with the entire Rams offense, had a quiet night Monday. Todd Gurley is expected to get most of the carries, leaving Cunningham and Malcolm Brown to compete for the scraps.

Cunningham rushed six times for 22 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Cunningham got the start with Todd Gurley being rested Saturday, but couldn't get much going on the ground. However, neither could Malcolm Brown, who finished with seven rushes for 21 yards. Brown seems to be Cunningham's biggest competition for whatever few spare touches come from being behind Gurley, so Cunningham can at least take consolation in his No. 2 pegging at the moment.

Cunningham carried four times for 38 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: With Todd Gurley firmly atop the Rams' RB depth chart and being drafted in the first round of most fantasy drafts, Cunningham's mostly of note for those looking to insure Gurley, though given that he's caught 71 passes over the past two seasons, he already holds some deep league value in PPR formats. Meanwhile, with Tre Mason not currently in the team's backfield equation, 224-pound Malcolm Brown is having a strong preseason and could also emerge as a candidate to absorb his share of carries in…read more

Cunningham contributed 23 yards and a touchdown on four carries and added 20 yards on his sole reception in Saturday's 28-24 preseason victory over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The backup tailback looked impressive while receiving the start in place of Todd Gurley, particularly on the Rams' second possession. Cunningham notched his 20-yard reception on that drive, and capped off the downfield march with a 14-yard touchdown run that served as the Rams' first points in their return to Los Angeles. The 26-year-old has proved serviceable over his first three campaigns as a rotational back, and figures to slot in a similar role in 2016 considering the ample workload that…read more

Cunningham, who had been a restricted free agent, has re-signed with the Rams, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Cunningham -- who rushed for 140 yards on 37 carries and caught 26 passes for 250 yards in 2015 -- had visited with the Patriots in free agency, but he has elected to re-up with Los Angeles where he continue to provide the Rams' backfield with a change-of-pace element behind Todd Gurley, as well as contribute on special teams.

Cunningham, a restricted free agent, is visiting with the Patriots on Thursday, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: With Dion Lewis (knee) recovering from a mid-season ACL tear, the Patriots are interested in adding a cheap passing-down back to provide insurance. Cunningham has never displayed much running ability, but he did a solid job in his third-down role with the Rams the past two seasons.

Cunningham ran the ball four times for 38 yards and caught all three of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss at San Francisco.
Analysis: With rookie sensation Todd Gurley (foot) inactive Sunday, Cunningham posted his most productive game since Week 1. Meanwhile, second-year RB Tre Mason saw most of the work in Gurley's absence, carrying the ball 18 times for 44 yards and a touchdown. Cunningham is a valuable member of St. Louis's offense, but not for fantasy purposes, especially with the emergence of Gurley.

Cunningham totaled eight yards on two rushes in a 31-23 win against the Buccaneers on Thursday.
Analysis: Despite the Rams passing the ball more in Thursday's contest, Cunningham was held without a target. Case Keenum didn't target his running backs outside of Todd Gurley once on Thursday, which doesn't bode well for the pass-catching specialist the rest of the way.

Cunningham toted the ball three times for 14 yards and caught an eight-yard pass in a 21-14 victory against Detroit on Sunday.
Analysis: Cunningham looked a bit more effective Sunday than Tre Mason, who had stolen some of Cunningham's targets the past few weeks. That being said, Sunday's game isn't much lower than Cunningham's ceiling, and his fantasy worth is close to zero.

Cunningham rushed twice for 12 yards and caught a pass for five yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: He saw a lot of his touches taken away by Tre Mason, surprisingly enough, as Mason had seven catches in the game. Cunningham has virtually no value unless Todd Gurley gets hurt.

Cunningham rushed for no yards on one carry and caught one pass for 20 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: With Tre Mason inactive for the game, one would have expected Cunningham to see a few more looks. Sunday's game, however, appears to be around Cunningham's ceiling, which means getting a touch or two per game.

Cunningham was held without a target in a 27-6 victory against San Francisco on Sunday.
Analysis: Cunningham also didn't register a carry, with Tre Mason taking the lion's share of the garbage time. Cunningham wasn't getting many looks before Sunday, but he usually gets either a carry or two or a few targets. The St. Louis offense outside of Todd Gurley is extremely hard to figure out, so it's best to avoid using Cunningham.
