Cook rushed four times for 26 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.

Cook tied his season long with a 10-yard run in the second quarter. He also had his most efficient outing on the ground as a member of the Jets, as Cook's previous single-game best was 4.0 YPC. Breece Hall was held to just 28 rushing yards on 13 carries, but Cook's limited usage despite Hall's struggles just highlights how large the gap in role between the two running backs has grown.

Mostert (undisclosed) is not participating in Monday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Monday's practice is unofficial, so the Dolphins won't release an injury report to confirm Mostert's status, but it's possible he's simply benefiting from a veteran rest day. Mostert appeared fully healthy entering the team's bye, but with De'Von Achane (knee) having been designated for a return from IR, the backfield situation warrants close monitoring heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. If both Mostert and Achane are cleared to play, they will stand to split time as effective co-starters.

Spears rushed five times for 18 yards and brought in four of five targets for 42 yards in the Titans' 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Spears duplicated his modest rushing line from a Week 9 loss to the Steelers and gained all but three of his yards on one carry, but he made much more of an impact through the air. The rookie finished with a team-high reception total and was second only to Kyle Philips in receiving yards with a total that qualified as his best single-game figure yet. Spears has now played 77 snaps from scrimmage over the last two games, and it remains to be seen if he'll begin commanding a larger share of the rushing workload at the expense of Derrick Henry in a Week 11 road matchup against the Jaguars.

Mitchell rushed eight times for 23 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Jaguars.

Mitchell maintained a small role on offense even with star wideout and pseudo-RB2 Deebo Samuel (shoulder) returning to the lineup Sunday. It is worth noting that seven of Mitchell's eight carries came in garbage time with the 49ers leading by more than four touchdowns. Had the game been closer, the 49ers' official No. 2 back would likely have been limited to the one carry he received in the second quarter of the lopsided victory. Mitchell will find it tough to generate fantasy value in such a limited role on offense against Tampa Bay next Sunday.

Gaskin signed with the Vikings' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gaskin has spent most of the season thus far with Minnesota, bouncing between the team's 53-man roster and practice squad when he wasn't a free agent. After a short stint with the Rams, the 26-year-old is now back with the Vikings after Alexander Mattison suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Saints and Cam Akers sustained a season-ending Achilles injury the previous week.

The Dolphins announced Monday that Achane (knee) has been designated for return from IR, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Achane will be eligible to retake the field as soon as Sunday's contest against the Raiders, but Miami does have a 21-day practice window in which to evaluate him. The electric rookie will resume working alongside veteran Raheem Mostert in the Dolphins backfield once he's activated, and Achane could claim the lead role quickly given Mostert's somewhat lackluster production in recent weeks. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Monday that Achane's injury was a sprain and not a tear, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, which could make it easier for him to immediately resume handling his normal workload, rather than having to ramp things up slowly.

Dallas didn't log an offensive snap in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders. He returned two punts for 14 yards.

Dallas battled a shoulder injury during the practice week, but that's probably not the reason he was left out of the offensive rotation. After all, the fourth-year running back hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 7, as rookie Zach Charbonnet has claimed an increased role in the offense instead.

Strong did not play on offense during Sunday's 33-31 win over Baltimore.

Strong was questionable all week with a hamstring injury, which may be the reason he was limited to special teams duty, although he did return one kickoff for 33 yards. He entered Sunday with 23 touches over the prior three games, but with Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt healthy, Strong's role figures to be limited. He played just five offensive snaps in Week 9's win over Arizona.

Allgeier carried the ball nine times for 31 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.

The second-year running back saw double-digit touches for the fifth time in the last six games, but he once again failed to do much with his opportunities as he came in below 40 scrimmage yards for the third straight game. Bijan Robinson's 4.9 yards per carry is far superior to Allgeier's 3.2 mark, but the two have somehow gotten the exact same number of carries so far this year (125). Even if that workload split continues following the Falcons' Week 11 bye, Allgeier will likely be little more than a TD-dependent dart throw for the remainder of the season.

Jacobs finished with 27 carries for 116 yards while corralling both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets. He did commit two fumbles but lost possession of only one.

Jacobs literally carried the offense to victory in Sunday's low-scoring affair, finishing with over 25 carries for the second week in a row. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce's committment to running has led to excellence in the form of consecutive wins for the now 5-5 Raiders. This is great news for Jacobs' fantasy managers, as his gaudy workload is likely to stick so long as Las Vegas keeps stacking wins. The only risk for the star tailback heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins would be a blowout in favor of Miami, which could result in fewer carries for Jacobs if the visiting Raiders fall behind big to Miami's fast-paced attack.
