Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Tops century mark in tough loss
Robinson carried the ball 22 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.
It's the first time since Week 4 that the rookie RB has recorded over 100 yards from scrimmage, and his five-yard score in the second quarter was only his second rushing TD of the season and fourth trip to the end zone overall. Robinson's usage has been strangely erratic and not in line with the draft capital used to land him as the eighth overall pick in the 2023 Draft, but with the Falcons on bye this week, the coaching staff could get a chance to reassess the backfield workload heading into a Week 12 clash with the Saints.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Bottled up on ground again
Hall rushed 13 times for 28 yards while catching all three of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.
Hall had a would-be three-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter nullified by a holding penalty. The versatile running back has at least 47 receiving yards in three of the past four games, but he hasn't averaged more than 3.3 yards per carry in a game over that span. He continues to see plenty of volume in a Jets offense with few playmakers besides him and Garrett Wilson. Hall has handled at least 16 touches in each of the past five games heading into a Week 11 trip to Buffalo.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: New high of 11 touches in win
Charbonnet had six carries for 44 yards and caught four of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.
Charbonnet's 11 combined touches represented a new season high for the rookie, which comes on the heels of out-snapping starter Kenneth Walker in a blowout loss to Baltimore in Week 9. The latter scenario was likely the result of the one-sided affair that took place in Baltimore, but Charbonnet maintained the increased role against Washington even with the score being close from start to finish. The second-round running back did not see an increase in playing time at the expense of starter Kenneth Walker, who finished Sunday's tilt with 127 combined yards and a touchdown on 20 touches. Charbonnet remains an option for those in deeper formats while possibly having value as a stash or insurance policy heading into Week 11's matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET
Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Scores two TDs in Week 10 win
Gibbs carried the ball 14 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns and caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.
While David Montgomery returned from a rib injury Sunday and led the Lions with 116 rushing yards and a score of his own, Gibbs wound up seeing five more touches while nearly matching his total yards. The rookie also produced more points, scoring on a pair of one-yard TD plunges in the first and second quarters. Gibbs and Montgomery seems likely to remain in a timeshare while both are healthy, but both could come up big again Week 11 against the Bears.

David Montgomery RB | HOU
Lions' David Montgomery: Makes impact in return
Montgomery carried the ball 12 times for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.
Seeing his first action since Week 6 after missing Detroit's last two games due to a rib injury, Montgomery didn't skip a beat, recording his third 100-yard performance of the season and scoring his seventh rushing TD on a 75-yard gallop in the second quarter. However, the fifth-year back didn't see the same kind of workload he had prior to his absence, as Jahmyr Gibbs racked up 112 yards from scrimmage and two rushing scores on 17 touches. Even in a timeshare with Gibbs, Montgomery still should be productive, and the duo gets another potentially juicy matchup Week 11 against the Bears.

Rico Dowdle RB | PIT
Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Cashes in garbage-time chances
Dowdle carried the ball 12 times for 79 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 win over the Giants.
The Cowboys' No. 2 running back saw a handful of touches in the first half, but Dowdle had the backfield to himself in the fourth quarter after Dallas began resting its starters in the rout, and he took advantage, punching in a one-yard TD for the team's final score of the day. Tony Pollard managed only 55 rushing yards on 15 carries, but despite his recent struggles there's been no indication his hold on the starting role is slipping, and this was the first time all season Dowdle saw more than seven carries.
-
Antonio Gibson RB | NE
Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Continues to excel in backup role
Gibson rushed four times for 13 yards and caught five of six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-26 loss to Seattle.
Gibson's big receiving day was dwarfed by starter Brian Robinson's 157 combined yards, which also featured a 51-yard touchdown reception Sunday. Gibson still mazimized his fantasy value despite seeing single-digit touches, which has been a common trend for the veteran backup this season. That said, Gibson's low cap for carries limits his point potential for next Sunday's tilt against the Giants.

Tony Pollard RB | TEN
Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Left out of offensive eruption
Pollard carried the ball 15 times for 55 yards in Sunday's 49-17 rout of the Giants.
Seemingly every other Cowboys skill player got into the end zone Sunday, even No. 2 RB Rico Dowdle, but Pollard once again couldn't get anything going. The fifth-year back hasn't scored a touchdown since Dallas' opener, and his 55 rushing yards was actually his highest output in that category since Week 3. Pollard will try to break out of his slump Week 11 against a Panthers defense that ranked 28th in rushing yards allowed per game coming into Sunday.

Kareem Hunt RB | KC
Browns' Kareem Hunt: Scores in fifth straight
Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens.
Hunt logged seven fewer carries than Jerome Ford and was far less impressive with his opportunity. However, he maintained a significant role deep in the opposition's territory, which he converted into a three-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Hunt now has a touchdown in each of his last five games despite never topping 55 rushing yards in that span.

Jerome Ford RB | WAS
Browns' Jerome Ford: Tops 100 yards against Ravens
Ford rushed the ball 17 times for 107 yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens. He added one reception for two yards.
Ford continued to lead the Browns backfield, as he out-touched Kareem Hunt by an 18-10 margin. He recorded his second 100-yard effort of the season and also became only the second back to reach the century mark on the ground against the Ravens. Much of that came on big plays of 28 and 13 yards, though Ford averaged an impressive 6.3 yards per carry overall. Since Cleveland's bye in Week 5, Ford has topped 80 yards from scrimmage in three of five games.
