  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Modest numbers against Indy

    Hubbard carried the ball 16 times for 58 yards and caught four of six targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Colts.

    The third-year running back saw 20 touches to Miles Sanders' nine, but Hubbard outgained his backfield partner only 67 scrimmage yards to 61 on a poor day overall for the Carolina offense. Hubbard's been the more consistent back this season, but Sanders' more efficient performance Sunday could cause coach Frank Reich to tip the workload balance back in favor of the former Eagle in Week 10 against the Bears.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Stuffed by Ravens

    Walker rushed the ball nine times for 16 yards in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens. He added one catch for one yard.

    Walker ran into a number of issues in the loss, most notably a game script that didn't allow Seattle to rely on the run game. Along similar lines, Seattle ran only 47 plays while possessing the ball for just under 20 minutes. Finally, Baltimore is among the best defenses in the league, all of which combined for Walker's worst game of the season and his second consecutive matchup with under 10 rushing attempts.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Star of blowout victory

    Jacobs took 26 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

    Jacobs stepped up with his best rushing line of the season in Las Vegas' first game under interim head coach Antonio Pierce on Sunday. The Raiders' new coaching staff committed to the run game en route to a lopsided win, resulting in the most carries for Jacobs through nine games this season. The Alabama product finished the contest without a target for the first time this year, but that likely had much to do with the one-sided nature of Sunday's result. Jacobs will look to carry the momentum from his big performance into next week's matchup against the Jets on Sunday Night Football.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Colts' Zack Moss: Makes little impact in Week 9

    Moss carried the ball seven times for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Panthers.

    The fourth-year running back produced his lowest yardage total and touch volume of the season, as the Colts didn't need to get much production from their offense on a day when the defense scored two touchdowns on interception returns. Moss's role has dwindled since Jonathan Taylor rejoined the team, but he'd still seen at least 12 touches in every game the duo was together in the Indy backfield prior to Sunday. Moss could resume his usual workload in Week 10 in what figures to be a more competitive matchup against the Patriots.

  • Texans' Devin Singletary: Tough sledding as lead back

    Singletary rushed 13 times for 26 yards and netted no gain on two catches in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Singletary paced the Texans in rushing yards while serving as the de facto lead back in the absence of Dameon Pierce (ankle). Singletary found precious little running room against Tampa Bay's standout run defense, however, leading to minimal production relative to opportunity. The fifth-year pro could revert to a complementary role as early as a Week 10 road matchup against the Bengals.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Finds end zone in Carolina

    Taylor carried the ball 18 times for 47 yards and caught all five of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Panthers.

    The rushing yards total was his lowest since Week 6, but Taylor made an impact as a receiver instead, taking a screen pass from Gardner Minshew 10 yards for a TD in the second quarter. The running back has brought in at least three catches in three of his last four games, posting a 14-115-1 line on 17 targets over that stretch. Taylor should again be one of the focal points of the Colts' offense in Week 10 against a Patriots defense that's given up a touchdown to a RB in three straight contests.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Browns' Kareem Hunt: Finds end zone in Week 9 win

    Hunt rushed 14 times for 38 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Browns' 27-0 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Hunt once again played a significant role in the ground attack, although he was six carries behind Jerome Ford on the day. The veteran back has back-to-back 14-carry tallies and has notched double-digit totes in four straight games overall heading into a Week 10 road battle with the Ravens, but most important from a fantasy perspective, he's now scored five rushing touchdowns in the latter span.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Giants' Saquon Barkley: Cracks century mark in total yards

    Barkley finished with 16 carries for 90 yards and three receptions on four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Raiders.

    Barkley started Sunday's contest clear of any injury designations after battling ankle and elbow injuries in recent weeks. The Giants' superstar displayed his improved health by reaching triple digits in total yardage for the third consecutive week. Barkley has averaged 27.5 combined touches in four games since returning from injury in Week 6, and he may be asked to carry a heavier load on offense since quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) is feared to have torn an ACL in the loss to Las Vegas. Expect the flailing Giants to lean on its star tailback in a road tilt against Dallas next Sunday.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Active versus Buffalo

    Mixon (chest) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Bills.

    Though Mixon was officially listed as questionable for the contest, the running back's status for Sunday night's game never appeared to be in much danger after he logged full practices both Thursday and Friday. With his active status versus Buffalo confirmed, Mixon is slated to continue to lead the Bengals' backfield in Week 9, a context that has yielded steady volume for the 2017 second-rounder this season. Through his first seven games, Mixon is averaging 16 carries for 64.7 yards and 2.7 catches for 18.1 yards, while Trayveon Williams is second among the team's RBs with a total of seven carries and four catches in that span.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Talies only 59 total yards

    Robinson rushed the ball 11 times for 51 yards and also lost a fumble in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings. He added two catches on four targets for eight yards.

    Robinson had six carries at halftime as opposed to only three for Tyler Allgeier. That usage flipped when Robinson lost a fumble late in the third quarter, and he found himself on the bench for Atlanta's next two possessions. When he was on the field, Robinson didn't record many big plays, but he consistently picked up several yards per carry. Despite being selected eighth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, Robinson has seen fewer than 15 carries in all but one game in his rookie campaign.
