  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Two more scores in monster game

    Henry rushed 17 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    Henry was not targeted in the passing game, but fantasy managers won't complain after another huge multi-score performance on the ground. The bruising back continues to thrive despite the Titans having no passing game (they totaled 53 passing yards Sunday) to help alleviate the opposition's defensive focus. The 28-year-old boasts a robust 183/870/9 rushing line through eight games, making the premature worries about his slow start to the season feel like a distant memory. Henry will lead the Titans' offensive attack in a home matchup against the Broncos next Sunday.

  • Jordan Wilkins RB | CLE

    Colts' Jordan Wilkins: Totals 28 yards in season debut

    Wilkins rushed the ball three times for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots. He added four receptions on five targets for 15 yards.

    Wilkins was active for the first time this season and operated as the primary backup to Deon Jackson. His day was highlighted by his work as a pass catcher, as he led the team with four receptions -- though none of those looks came down the field. It's unclear whether Jonathan Taylor (ankle) or Zack Moss (ankle) will be active for a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders, and their status will likely dictate Wilkins' opportunity in that matchup.

  • J.J. Taylor RB | HOU

    Patriots' J.J. Taylor: Operates as backup to Stevenson

    Taylor rushed the ball 10 times for nine yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts. He added one reception for eight yards.

    Taylor mixed in behind Rhamondre Stevenson throughout the game, though half of his carries came in the fourth quarter when the Patriots were up multiple scores. He wasn't impressive with his opportunity, as his longest rush went for only five yards and he averaged under one yard per carry. Taylor was signed to the active roster prior to Sunday's game, but he will likely be relegated primarily to special-teams duties in Week 11 -- New England has a Week 10 bye -- assuming Damien Harris (illness) can return.

  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Panthers' D'Onta Foreman: Scripted out of production

    Foreman recorded seven rushes for 23 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals. He added two receptions for minus-2 yards.

    Foreman had little chance to impact the game, as the Panthers couldn't maintain any type of offensive production and also fell behind by 35 points by halftime. As a result, even in the absence of Chuba Hubbard (ankle), Foreman was a non-factor. He could be in a position to bounce back in Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Falcons -- particularly if Hubbard remains sidelined.

  • Eno Benjamin RB | NO

    Cardinals' Eno Benjamin: Takes back seat in Week 9 loss

    Benjamin carried the ball four times for 12 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.

    James Conner returned from a three-game absence due to a rib injury and saw 12 touches to Benjamin's five while averaging 6.4 yards a carry, leaving little doubt who the No. 1 option in the Arizona backfield is. Benjamin averaged nearly 75 scrimmage yards a game while Conner was sidelined, however, and he should remain involved in the offense in a Week 10 road matchup against the Rams.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Quiet in Week 9 return

    Conner carried the ball seven times for 45 yards and caught all five of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.

    Seeing his first action since Week 5 after recovering from a rib injury, Conner saw 12 touches to Eno Benjamin's five but was still out-gained on the ground by Kyler Murray. The workload split in the Arizona backfield might be due to Conner's layoff, but Benjamin may also have shown enough over the last three games to retain a role in the offense, leaving Conner's upside somewhat in question heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Rams.

  • Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Solid usage in loss

    Gibson rushed 11 times for 36 yards and secured two of three targets for 11 yards in the Commanders' 20-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 68 yards.

    Gibson checked in just two carries behind Brian Robinson with his highest tally in that category since Week 4. However, neither back was able to do anything of note against a surprisingly staunch Vikings defense, and they could share the workload on a pretty even basis again in a Week 10 Monday night matchup Nov. 14 against the Eagles.

  • Deon Jackson RB | DET

    Colts' Deon Jackson: Only 36 yards on 13 touches

    Jackson rushed the ball 11 times for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.

    Jackson served as the Colts' primary running back with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Zack Moss (coach's decision) both inactive. Despite dominating touches out of the backfield, he managed very little production as the team's offense was stalled for the entire game. It's unclear how long Taylor may be sidelined, but even if he misses a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders, it's difficult to trust Jackson to produce given the poor state of the Colts offense.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Scores twice against Cards

    Walker carried the ball 26 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals. He also caught three of four targets for 20 yards.

    Both scores came in the fourth quarter, as Walker put the game out of Arizona's reach. Walker has gotten into the end zone in five straight games, scoring seven TDs in total over that stretch while amassing 512 rushing yards. The rookie should be one of the focal points of the Seattle offense again in a Week 10 clash with the Buccaneers in Germany.

  • Jets' James Robinson: Scores go-ahead TD against Bills

    Robinson (knee) rushed 13 times for 48 yards while catching both of his targets for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.

    Robinson didn't find much running room in the first half, but holes started opening up after halftime. He scored on a screen pass from seven yards out to give the Jets a 17-14 lead, and Robinson ripped off consecutive runs of nine, seven and 16 yards to begin a 13-play, 86-yard drive that chewed up 6:10 of the clock and all three of Buffalo's timeouts before culminating in a go-ahead, 28-yard field goal. Michael Carter was more effective on the ground with 12 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown. Robinson's power and Carter's speed are both necessary elements in New York's run-first offense, so both running backs should remain heavily involved after the Week 10 bye.
