  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Completely stymied in loss

    Chubb rushed 14 times for 19 yards and brought in all three targets for 48 yards in the Browns' 31-23 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Chubb got off to an encouraging start with a 17-yard reception on the first play of the game, but his day on the ground was utterly forgettable. The star back's yardage total was his lowest of the season by far, while his production through the air was ironically his best of the campaign. Chubb's streak of three straight games with at least one touchdown was also snapped, and he'll next face the Buccaneers defense in a Week 12 home matchup.

  • Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Scores on kick return

    Patterson rushed 10 times for 52 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bears. He also returned a kickoff for a 103-yard touchdown and lost a fumble.

    Patterson garnered two more rushing attempts than Tyler Allgeier, but the latter was slightly more efficient than the former. The veteran Patterson lost a fumble in the second quarter, setting up a Bears touchdown, but he quickly made up for the blunder by taking a kickoff for a 103-yard score the next time he touched the ball. The Falcons' running game appears to be a committee moving forward, but given Atlanta's run-first mindset, both running backs should be on fantasy radars as potential flex options.

  • Damien Harris RB | BUF

    Patriots' Damien Harris: Most rushing yards since Week 4

    Harris rushed eight times for 65 yards and caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

    Despite getting only eight rushing attempts to Rhamondre Stevenson's 15, Harris was far more effective on the ground, totaling 65 rushing yards to Stevenson's 26. Harris set up a second-quarter field goal with a 22-yard run and broke free for a 30-yard gain on the ground early in the third. Stevenson's superior pass catching skills keep him involved regardless of game flow, but if the Patriots can hang around with the Vikings on Thanksgiving, Harris should continue to get some opportunities on the ground after notching his highest rushing yardage total since Week 4.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Racks up 82 scrimmage yards

    Stevenson rushed 15 times for 26 yards and caught all six of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

    Stevenson was out-gained 65-26 on the ground by Damien Harris, but the former led the team in receiving yards and had a 21-10 edge in touches over Harris, maintaining his role as the top option in New England's backfield. With the score tied at three late in the third quarter, Stevenson was bottled up for no gain on a 4th-and-3 rushing attempt, which was emblematic of his struggles en route to notching a season-low 1.7 yards per rushing attempt against the stout Jets front. Stevenson should remain a key cog in both the rushing and passing aspects of New England's offense against the Vikings on Thanksgiving.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Draws 15 carries

    Robinson ran for 57 yards on 15 carries against Houston on Sunday.

    It's disappointing that Robinson couldn't get more going on the ground against Houston's weak run defense, and somewhat concerning that seeming backup Antonio Gibson saw 18 carries to Robinson's 15, and three targets to Robinson's none. Gibson appears to be the team's preferred passing-down target between the two, so Robinson would ideally hold a decisive lead over Gibson as the team's preferred pure runner. The Washington backfield will continue to be a bit perplexing for fantasy managers going into a favorable matchup against the Falcons in Week 12.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Solid efficiency in win

    Allgeier rushed eight times for 55 yards and secured his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bears.

    Allgeier saw only nine touches but was efficient in his limited work. Cordarrelle Patterson had only two more rushing attempts than the rookie, but Marcus Mariota dominated the ground work, rushing 13 times for 25 yards and a score. As expected, Allgeier's role has diminished with Patterson's return from IR, but the former remains solidly involved in the offense and should continue to be on fantasy radars.

  • Chase Edmonds RB | WAS

    Broncos' Chase Edmonds: Leaves Sunday's game

    Edmonds was forced out of Sunday's game against the Raiders with an ankle injury.

    Prior to his first-quarter exit from the contest, Edmonds carried twice for six yards. In his absence, Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray are available to handle Denver's backfield duties.

  • Bears' David Montgomery: Finds end zone in lead role

    Montgomery rushed 17 times for 67 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.

    With Khalil Herbert (hip) on injured reserve, Montgomery operated as the workhorse in Chicago's backfield, though quarterback Justin Fields led the team in both rushing attempts (18) and rushing yards (85). Fields ran in a four-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but Montgomery scored one of his own from two yards out in the fourth to tie the score at 24-24 with 8:16 to go. Montgomery also led the Bears in receiving yards thanks to a 32-yard catch on the same drive as his rushing touchdown. Fields hurt his shoulder late in the game, and if the mobile quarterback is unavailable or limited as a result of the injury, Montgomery could see even more volume against the Jets in Week 12.

  • Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Leads backfield in yardage

    Gibson ran for 72 yards on 18 carries and caught three passes for 31 yards on three targets against Houston on Sunday.

    Brian Robinson saw 15 carries for 57 yards himself, as both Washington backs saw big workloads following a pick-six by Washington corner Kendall Fuller on Houston's opening drive. It's not clear whether Gibson saw more carries than Robinson in acknowledgment of their respective levels of effectiveness -- an area where Gibson would have the recent advantage -- or if it was a more random outcome of the game's flow. The Washington run blocking has been poor all year, but there should be opportunities for the backfield to keep producing against Atlanta in Week 12.

  • Chris Evans RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chris Evans: Won't play Week 11

    Evans (knee) has been ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Evans was considered questionable to play against Pittsburgh after injuring the PCL in his right knee against Carolina in Week 9. While he had some extra time to recover coming off the Bengals' Week 10 bye, he'll ultimately be sidelined until at least the team's next contest against Tennessee on Sunday, Nov. 27. With Evans out, expect Trayveon Williams to serve as Cincinnati's third-string running back while Trent Taylor handles kick-return duties.
