  • Lions' Jamaal Williams: Finds end zone again Sunday

    Williams rushed 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 40-14 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Williams was able to record his league-leading 14th touchdown on a one-yard scoring run in the first quarter. Backfield mate D'Andre Swift ultimately outpaced Williams by three carries and also drew six targets, so the latter's fantasy outlook is somewhat unsettled heading into a Week 14 divisional showdown against the Vikings.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Lions' D'Andre Swift: Records rushing TD in win

    Swift rushed 14 times for 62 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of six targets for 49 yards in the Lions' 40-14 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Swift handled his heaviest workload on the ground since Week 1 and found the end zone for the third time in the last four games in his best all-around game of the season. The third-year back's rushing yardage tally was also his second highest of the campaign, while his receiving yardage was a new high-water mark in 2022. The fact Swift outpaced backfield mate Jamaal Williams by three carries could be harbinger of what the stretch run may hold now that the former is possibly finally back to full health, but more insight should be gleaned from the division of labor in a Week 14 divisional home showdown against the Vikings.

  • Gus Edwards RB | LAC

    Ravens' Gus Edwards: Shut down in Week 13 win

    Edwards rushed six times for 12 yards in the Ravens' 10-9 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Edwards was surprisingly quiet against what had been a vulnerable Broncos run defense and was ultimately out-carried by backfield mate Kenyan Drake, who logged seven totes. Edwards also was disappointingly absent from the air attack altogether while Drake and Justice Hill drew three and two targets, respectively. The underwhelming afternoon leaves the fantasy outlook for Edwards -- and the Ravens' backfield as a whole -- murky going into a Week 14 road battle against the Steelers.

  • Broncos' Latavius Murray: Solid workload in loss

    Murray rushed 17 times for 47 yards and brought in all four targets for 14 yards in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Murray fell short of 3.0 yards per carry against the Ravens' brick wall of a defensive front, but he did shoulder a clear-cut lead-back role despite the return of Mike Boone from injured reserve. The veteran also encouragingly continues to enjoy a solid pass-catching role, now having recorded multiple receptions in three of the past four games. Murray projects to continue leading the backfield in a Week 14 home matchup against the Chiefs.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Leads backfield in tie

    Robinson rushed 21 times for 96 yards and secured both targets for 15 yards in the Commanders' 20-20 tie with the Giants on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Washington.

    The rookie once again helmed the backfield, out-carrying Antonio Gibson by a 12-tote margin while also tying his teammate with a pair of receptions, albeit on two fewer targets. Robinson's long run went for a modest 16 yards, so it was a grind-it-out type of effort for the Alabama product. Robinson now has 201 rushing yards on 39 carries in the last two games alone, seemingly affording him an unquestioned lead-back role going into the team's Week 14 bye.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Not returning Sunday

    Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest at the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Walker was examined in the middle of the second quarter and eventually was deemed to have a right ankle injury, which won't allow him to log any more Week 13 action. Prior to his exit, he had three carries for 36 yards and didn't haul in his only target. With Travis Homer (illness) inactive and Rashaad Penny (ankle/fibula) on injured reserve, the Seahawks backfield has been whittled down to DeeJay Dallas and Tony Jones.

  • Dalvin Cook RB | DAL

    Vikings' Dalvin Cook: Scores seventh touchdown

    Cook rushed the ball 20 times for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Jets. He added two receptions for minus-3 yards.

    Cook bounced back from a couple of subpar performances with a relatively efficient game. His effort was highlighted by a four-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to tally his seventh rushing score of the season. Cook also chipped in a 21-yard gain on the ground, only his fourth rush of more than 20 yards on the campaign. In addition to the encouraging performance, Cook's workload remains very steady, as he has seen at least 17 carries in three of his last five games.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Giants' Saquon Barkley: Garners 81 total yards in tie

    Barkley rushed 18 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and secured all five targets for 18 yards in the Giants' 20-20 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

    Barkley had to work for every yard on the ground as his rushing line clearly indicates, but he was still able to put together a solid fantasy day thanks to volume and a 13-yard rushing touchdown just before the halfway point of the second quarter. Barkley has been under the 100-yard mark in three straight games, but he has multiple catches in three consecutive contests and rushing scores in four of his last five going into a Week 14 home showdown against the Eagles.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Limited by game script

    Henry rushed the ball 11 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two receptions for eight yards.

    Henry saw seven of his 11 rushes in the first half, as the Titans were down multiple scores for the entirety of the last two quarters. He was limited to a season low in carries as a result and was held to under 40 rushing yards for the second consecutive game. Henry has also failed to reach the end zone in three of his last four contests, which, combined with his lack of involvement as a pass catcher, has highlighted his relatively fragile floor.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Sustains ankle injury Sunday

    Walker departed Sunday's game at the Rams due to an ankle injury.

    After a Seahawks possession in the second quarter, Walker was seen getting examined by team personnel and later remained on the sideline with his right leg propped up on the bench. It's unclear if he has a chance to return, but as long as the rookie second-round pick is out, this backfield will be the domain of DeeJay Dallas and perhaps Tony Jones, with Travis Homer (illness) inactive and Rashaad Penny (ankle/fibula) out for the season.
