Jonathan Williams RB | WAS
Commanders' Jonathan Williams: Added to injury report
Williams (knee) was added to the game status report as questionable for Monday's contest versus the Eagles.
Williams was a late addition to Monday's injury report as he's apparently dealing with a knee injury ahead of the Week 10 contest. The running back has only six carries on the campaign, and if he is forced to miss Monday's matchup, it likely wouldn't impact the game plan much at all.

Dwayne Washington RB | DEN
Saints' Dwayne Washington: Zero carries in loss
Washington did not record a rush on four offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-10 loss against Pittsburgh.
Washington almost exclusively played on special teams during the Saints' lackluster offensive performance against Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old didn't have a chance to capitalize on the continued absence of No. 2 rusher Mark Ingram (knee), as New Orleans rushed for just 29 yards on 15 team carries. Washington logged just one more offensive snap than practice squad running back Jordan Howard, and neither figure to play a significant role against the Rams next Sunday.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Logs season-high yards in win
Warren rushed nine times for 37 yards while securing all three of his targets for 40 yards during the Steelers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.
The Steelers indicated this week that Warren could see increased playing time following the team's Week 9 bye, and he played 43 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps in the win. Although Najee Harris served as the clear lead back with 20 carries for 99 yards, Warren's 77 yards from scrimmage marked his highest total of the season. While the undrafted rookie should continue to operate as the Steelers' No. 2 option in the backfield, his elevated usage could give him value in deeper fantasy formats.

JaMycal Hasty RB | NE
Jaguars' JaMycal Hasty: Minimal involvement Sunday
Hasty had one carry for four yards and caught one of two targets for minus-1 yard during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chiefs.
The 26-year-old played only 14 of 64 offensive snaps as Travis Etienne continues to dominate the backfield work for Jacksonville. Hasty has eight carries for 23 yards and five receptions for one yard since in three games since he took over as the Jaguars' No. 2 tailback after James Robinson was traded to the Jets.

D'Ernest Johnson RB | TEN
Browns' D'Ernest Johnson: Season-high snap count
Johnson caught his lone target for minus-2 yards and did not carry the ball in Sunday's 39-17 loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.
Johnson was on the field for a season-high 12 snaps, but opportunities for the running game dwindled once the Browns fell behind by three scores early in the third quarter. He'll remain outside of fantasy consideration as long as Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt stay healthy.

Jerome Ford RB | WAS
Browns' Jerome Ford: Back as returner
Ford returned three kickoffs for 95 yards and did not play on offense in Sunday's 39-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Ford, who missed the bare minimum of four games on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, was activated over the weekend and made an immediate impact with a 48-yard return on Sunday's opening kickoff. While there will be little chance of him getting elevated to a prominent backfield role unless the Browns experience multiple injuries up the depth chart, he should serve as the top kickoff returner. Ford may also be the top punt returner, too, but the Dolphins never had to punt Sunday.

Demetric Felton RB | WAS
Browns' Demetric Felton: Inactive Week 10
Felton did not suit up for Sunday's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.
Felton was a healthy inactive for the fourth time in nine weeks because the Browns welcomed back Jerome Ford from his ankle injury. Drafted as a hybrid back/receiver in 2021, Felton's failed to make an impact during his one-plus seasons in the NFL.
-
Malik Davis RB | DAL
Cowboys' Malik Davis: Performs well in backup role
Davis rushed five times for 38 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 31-28 loss to Green Bay.
Ezekiel Elliott (knee) was unable to suit up coming out of the bye, so Davis got another shot to back up Tony Pollard. The undrafted rookie was far more effective this time around (7.6 YPC) after struggling with twice as many touches last week. Zeke's status for next Sunday's tilt against Minnesota is still uncertain, but Davis would need both of the Cowboys' starting running backs to be sidelined to generate value in standard leagues.
-
Elijah Mitchell RB | PHI
49ers' Elijah Mitchell: Game-high 89 yards in return
Mitchell (knee) rushed 18 times for 89 yards and lost one yard on his lone reception (two targets) in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.
Mitchell returned to action after going down with a knee injury in the first game of the regular season. The 24-year-old looked to be in midseason form despite the lengthy layoff, as he paced the team in carries (18) and rushing yards (89) fresh off of injured reserve. Christian McCaffrey (18 touches for 77 yards and a score) still did his thing as the running backs nearly split touches. CMC figures to be the featured back -- in addition to handling most receiving work -- but the 49ers' former starter could carve out value if he continues to see double-digit touches. Make sure Mitchell is rostered ahead of next Monday's tilt against the Cardinals.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Saves tough rushing day with TD
McCaffrey rushed 14 times for 38 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.
McCaffrey struggled to find running lanes against a porous rush defense, but he salvaged what would have been a quiet fantasy day with a short score in the second quarter. Projected 2022 starter Elijah Mitchell (knee) returned from IR in this contest and nearly split touches with his new teammate. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Mitchell's presence too much, as McCaffrey still received 18 touches with San Francisco's offense at full strength following the bye. The fantasy stud's managers will enjoy the benefit of a late-matchup scoring boost when the 49ers take on the Cardinals in Mexico City next Monday.
