  • Zamir White RB | LV

    Raiders' Zamir White: Negative yardage in loss

    White lost a yard on his only carry during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    White's lone carry came on his only offensive snap of the day, while starter Josh Jacobs finished the contest with 20 touches for 87 total yards. Ameer Abdullah continues to work behind Jacobs on passing downs, leaving very little opportunity for White to see the field.

    Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Targeted thrice in loss

    Abdullah caught one of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars. He also returned two kickoffs for 21 yards.

    Abdullah has beat out fellow backup Brandon Bolden for the pass-down role out of the Raiders' backfield since the team's Week 6 bye, but it hasn't translated to much fantasy relevance for Abdullah behind workhorse Josh Jacobs. Abdullah figures to see a similar level of involvement against the Colts in Week 10.

  • Raiders' Brandon Bolden: Dealt one carry in loss

    Bolden took his only carry for five yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Bolden was not targeted in the passing game, while fellow backup Ameer Abdullah caught one of three targets for eight yards. The former has logged just five total offensive snaps in three contests since the Raiders' bye in Week 6, so Bolden carries very little fantasy appeal into Las Vegas' upcoming tilt against the Colts.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Packers' Aaron Jones: X-rays negative, could play

    Jones (ankle) received negative X-ray results Monday and "should be able to play this week," according to a source familiar with the situation, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The news comes as a relief for a Packers team that also saw Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Christian Watson (concussion) depart during Sunday's divisional loss to the Lions and can ill afford to lose more playmakers on offense. It's too early to say whether Jones will return to action Week 10 against the Cowboys before seeing what he's able to do in practice, but it's encouraging that he has a chance to suit up at all. If Jones sits or has his snaps limited Sunday, AJ Dillon would handle an increased role.

    Packers' Aaron Jones: More tests coming Monday

    Jones is scheduled to undergo additional tests Monday on his left ankle injury after initial X-rays were inconclusive following Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Rapoport suggests that Jones will likely require an MRI and perhaps a CT scan for the Packers to gain clarity on the injury that knocked the running back out of Sunday's game and put him in a walking boot afterward. Jones' availability for the Packers' Week 10 matchup with the Cowboys is uncertain, potentially setting up top understudy AJ Dillon for an expanded role.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | JAC

    Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Minimal action in win

    Dallas rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals. He also returned three punts for 23 yards.

    Dallas handled just two offensive snaps in the divisional win, as Kenneth Walker (54) and Travis Homer (20) handled a bulk of the workload. As long as Walker and Homer are healthy, Dallas will have minimal fantasy value.

  • Travis Homer RB | PIT

    Seahawks' Travis Homer: Snares three passes

    Homer rushed once for seven yards and caught all three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

    Once again, Homer operated as the clear No. 2 back behind rookie Kenneth Walker. Homer logged 20 offensive snaps while DeeJay Dallas was held to just two. A 2019 sixth-round pick, Homer continues to be efficient as a pass-catcher, as he has caught all eight of his targets for 79 yards this year.

  • Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Stays involved in passing game

    McKinnon rushed three times for four yards and caught six of eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Titans.

    The veteran back finished as the most productive of the trio of backs Kansas City has deployed of late, but none of McKinnon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Isiah Pacheco had notable fantasy lines. McKinnon has seen his usage as a receiver increase over his last four contests, but his lack of rushing production and overall low volume caps his fantasy appeal. He remains a deep/PPR option heading into a matchup against Jacksonville next Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Held to 19 yards on five touches

    Edwards-Helaire rushed four times for five yards and caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over Tennessee.

    The Chiefs continued to deploy a three-pronged rushing attack, splitting the work fairly evenly between Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco. Unlike their last game, the trio failed to get anything going on the ground (14 combined rushing yards), and McKinnon was the only back to contribute anything meaningful as a receiver (six receptions for 40 yards). While it is tough to trust Edwards-Helaire after Sunday's dud, he does appear to still be the team's short-yardage back heading into a softer matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Bills' Nyheim Hines: Low usage in Bills debut

    Hines received just a handful of snaps on offense Sunday and did not record a catch or carry.

    Hines did have a nice punt return for 18 yards, but as expected he's not going to have a major role in the offense until he gets up to speed with his new system and playbook. While Hines should start to get more looks in the passing game, Josh Allen and Devin Singletary should continue to pick up the bulk of the carries.
