  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Completely stymied in Week 10 loss

    Henry rushed 11 times for 24 yards and brought in his only target for minus-4 yards in the Titans' 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Henry's final numbers essentially spell out how frustrating an afternoon it was for the star running back. His rush attempts tied a season low, while his yardage tally was only higher than his 20-yard effort versus the Browns in Week 3. Game script increasingly put a crimp on Henry's opportunities Sunday, and he'll have another tough matchup on the ground versus the Jaguars in a Week 11 divisional road clash.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Scores receiving TD in win

    White rushed 20 times for 51 yards and brought in two of three targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    White drew his typical workhorse role on the ground, and as customary, he found running room at a premium. However, the second-year back salvaged his fantasy day with a nifty 43-yard touchdown reception off a screen pass just past the midway point of the second quarter where he weaved his way to the end zone down the left side of the field. White now has back-to-back 20-carry tallies heading into a tough Week 11 road battle against the 49ers.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Scores TD in Week 10 loss

    Mixon rushed 11 times for 46 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for minus-1 yard in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Mixon put together a solid performance on the ground relative to the modest amount of opportunity he saw, with the highlight a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that brought the Bengals to within a field goal. The veteran back will take a three-game touchdown streak into a Week 11 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night, but he's yet to top 87 rushing yards in any game this season.

  • Texans' Devin Singletary: Career-best effort in win

    Singletary carried 30 times for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Texans' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Singletary filled in for Dameon Pierce (ankle) for the second straight game, and on this occasion, he was the only Texans running back to log a carry. Singletary consistently exploited running lanes throughout the afternoon, with his long gain going for a modest 22 yards. He also recorded his first touchdown in a Texans uniform on a six-yard run midway through the third quarter, the perfect punctuation mark on the career-best performance. Given how much Pierce has struggled for running room when he's been healthy, it's certainly conceivable the backfield develops into much more of a timeshare whenever the second-year back returns to action.

  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Packers' AJ Dillon: Leads Green Bay on ground

    Dillon rushed nine times for 70 yards and caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Dillon's team-leading rushing output included a career-long scamper of 40 yards. Despite Aaron Jones returning to lead the Packers in touches the past couple weeks, Dillon has now totaled at least 75 scrimmage yards in three of his last five games. He'll strive to continue his solid recent complementary work next Sunday versus the Chargers.

  • Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Held in check by 49ers

    Etienne rushed nine times for 35 yards and caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

    Etienne finished with fewer than 12 carries for the first time this season as Jacksonville abandoned the run after getting down big. The starting running back's touchdown streak ended at four games and seven scrimmage touchdowns in a game that also saw Chrisitan McCaffrey's touchdown streak snapped at 17 games. The 6-3 Jaguars will likely have a more favorable game script at home against the 3-6 Titans in Week 11, which should lead to a larger workload for Etienne.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Another big game

    Warren rushed 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Packers. He also caught two of four targets for nine yards.

    Warren followed last week's career-best rushing tally by posting a new personal high Sunday. The tailback had a couple long runs, including a 16-yard touchdown during the second quarter. His production came while starter Najee Harris also had a good game, rushing 16 times for 82 yards and a score of his own. Despite sharing snaps, Warren's stock continues to rise ahead of Week 11's divisional clash with the Browns.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Scores in victory

    Harris rushed 16 times for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Packers. He also caught three of four targets for 14 yards.

    Harris opened the scoring with a walk-in touchdown from four yards on Pittsburgh's first offensive series. That gave Harris a score in three of his last four contests, including back-to-back outings, and he proceeded to set a season high in rushing yards to boot. Harris' production came while teammate Jaylen Warren actually outgained him with 101 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, yet it was a successful display from the former nonetheless.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Gets 142 yards but TD streak ends

    McCaffrey rushed 16 times for 95 yards and caught six of 10 targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 34-3 win over Jacksonville.

    McCaffrey's touchdown streak ended at 17 games, including the playoffs, one shy of the NFL record. San Francisco gave him two carries and two targets from inside the 10-yard line on its penultimate drive, but McCaffrey couldn't get into the end zone to extend the streak. He still surpassed 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time in the last five games, and the workhorse running back has logged at least 22 touches in each of those games. Starting a new touchdown streak may not be easy in Week 11 against a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed only one scrimmage touchdown to a running back this season.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Packers' Aaron Jones: Stymied by Steelers

    Jones rushed 13 times for 35 yards and caught four of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Jones struggled to get much going in Sunday's narrow defeat. While he led the Packers in targets, he didn't gain much territory on his few grabs. In the running game, teammate AJ Dillon topped Green Bay with 70 yards on nine carries. The versatile Jones will strive to bounce back at home next Sunday versus the Chargers.
