  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Benefits from blowout win

    Corum recorded 13 rushes for 58 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.

    Corum logged a season-high 13 carries, 10 of which came in the second half while the Rams were up multiple scores. However, his longest rush came midway through the second quarter, when he ripped off a 21-yard rush off right end. Corum remains the clear backup to Kyren Williams, though his weekly volume is dependent on game script, making him difficult to trust as a starting fantasy option.

  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Largest workload in 2025

    Etienne took 22 carries for 84 yards while hauling in all five of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime win over Las Vegas.

    Etienne experienced his largest workload to date in 2025 by setting new season highs in carries and receptions Sunday. The increased volume did not result in his finest fantasy performance, however, after backup Bhayshul Tuten and QB Trevor Lawrence combined to vulture three rushing scores from Jacksonville's starting tailback. It was still a solid overall showing from Etienne, who will continue spearheading the Jaguars' rushing attack against the Texans next Sunday.

  • Brittain Brown RB | CHI

    Bears' Brittain Brown: Scores first career touchdown

    Brown rushed five times for 37 yards and one touchdown and was targeted once without a reception in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Elevated from the practice squad due to injuries to D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back), Brown logged his first NFL touches. Despite the solid effort, he's expected to revert to the practice squad once the backfield is healthy.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Bounces back out of bye week

    Jeanty took 13 carries for 42 yards while corralling all five of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to Jacksonville.

    Jeanty used the Raiders' bye week to rebound nicely from his worst game as a pro against Kansas City in Week 7, nabbing his third touchdown reception of the year in Sunday's narrow defeat. The Boise State product still finished with a per-carry average below four yards for the third consecutive contest running behind Las Vegas' shoddy offensive line, but his contributions as a receiver balanced out a nice fantasy score in the end. Jeanty will have to work for another strong outing in Week 10 against Denver's top-10 rush defense on Thursday Night Football.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Can't get going against Titans

    Vidal logged 12 rushes for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans. He did not catch his lone target.

    Vidal had high expectations entering this favorable matchup, but he instead might have ceded clear lead-back duties while Omarion Hampton (ankle) remains sidelined. Vidal led the Chargers backfield in carries 8-2 at halftime, but he was out-carried by Jarrett Patterson 7-4 in the final two quarters. While it's possible that had to do with game script, the Chargers only briefly held a two-score lead and Patterson was also more effective with his work. Vidal should remain in fantasy consideration so long as Hampton is out, but his role is a bit murkier moving forward.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Cracks century mark against KC

    Cook rushed for 114 yards on 27 carries while catching his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.

    Cook set a new high-water mark for touches in a single game this season (28) while finishing with a game-high 125 yards from scrimmage. The talented rusher did all of the heavy lifting for the Bills between the 20s, allowing for backup Ty Johnson and QB Josh Allen to hit pay dirt on the ground Sunday. Cook entered Sunday's contest averaging a touchdown scored per game this season, so managers will have to live with "just" another 100-yard performance (his fifth on the year). Look for Cook to potentially get back into the scoring column against the Dolphins next Sunday after torching Miami's defense for 108 yards and a touchdown when these two teams met back in Week 3.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Gets four touches Week 9

    Neal accrued three carries for 11 yards and caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams.

    Neal had only three fewer carries than RB1 Alvin Kamara, who was stymied for a season-low 14 rushing yards. Meanwhile, do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill finished with a team-high 30 rushing yards on four carries. New Orleans got dominated in just about every phase, leaving rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to attempt 24 passes compared to just 14 rushing attempts as a team. It's unclear how the rushing attempts would have been split up if there was a more normal game script for the Saints' offense. New Orleans will next play against the Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Totals 17 yards in loss

    Kamara totaled six carries for 14 yards and caught one of three targets for three yards during Sunday's 34-10 defeat to the Rams.

    Kamara was completely stonewalled and had a season low in yards while also tying his season low for carries in a game. Instead, Taysom Hill led the team with 30 rushing yards on four carries. The ninth-year running back also fumbled on his final carry of the game in the fourth quarter. Kamara didn't see an uptick in usage even with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough making his first career start, as the Rams dominated the Saints in time of possession 43:53-16:07. Over the last five games, Kamara has now averaged 8.2 carries for 24.2 yards. He also hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1. Kamara's production is well below his reputation as a bell-cow back in fantasy, and his lack of explosiveness and limited production will likely continue to limit his output going forward. The Saints next face off with the Panthers in Week 10 on Sunday.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Tops 100 yards against Saints

    Williams rushed the ball 25 times for 114 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.

    Williams took advantage of a positive game script to log season-high marks in carries and yards, highlighted by his first time reaching 100 yards on the ground across eight contests. His longest rush of the day went for 15 yards, and he still has only one gain of at least 20 yards on 132 attempts for the campaign. Nevertheless, Williams had his most productive fantasy performance, which was helped by a touchdown plunge early in the fourth quarter. He should continue to serve as the Rams' lead back, though he remains reliant primarily on volume to turn in strong fantasy performances.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Scores with 55 yards Sunday

    Hunt rushed 11 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

    Isiah Pacheco (knee) was unable to suit up after absorbing a big hit last week, opening the door for Hunt to serve as the Chiefs' primary back against the Bills on Sunday. The 29-year-old Hunt was up to the task, leading his team in rushing yards while collecting his fifth rushing touchdown of the season. Brashard Smith (3-7-0) finished a distant second in backfield touches, as head coach Andy Reid opted to lean on Hunt more instead of continuing a two-back approach in Pacheco's absence. There is a chance the latter could return following the Chiefs' upcoming bye week, but Hunt has been providing enough value in a timeshare to warrant flex consideration against the Broncos in Week 11.
