Montgomery rushed 14 times for 36 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Despite having been the subject of trade rumors leading up to Tuesday's deadline, Montgomery ultimately stayed put in the Windy City and ended up pacing the Bears backfield in carries. Montgomery's workload on the ground actually doubled up that of backfield mate Khalil Herbert, and he was the only one of the two to see a target. Chicago's ground-game usage has been difficult to predict game to game, however, so it remains to be seen if the distribution will remain the same in a Week 10 home matchup versus the vulnerable Lions defense.

Wilson rushed nine times for 51 yards and brought in all three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 35-32 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Making his Dolphins debut after being acquired at the trade deadline Tuesday, Wilson made an immediate impact and notably matched incumbent back Raheem Mostert's carry total. Wilson also made his mark as a receiver with a critical 10-yard touchdown grab with 6:02 remaining, making it a very productive start to his Miami tenure. Wilson could be in line for an even bigger workload in a Week 10 home matchup against the Browns with another week of acclimation to a Mike McDaniel playbook he's already very familiar with.

Swift (ankle/shoulder) rushed twice for 10 yards and caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 15-9 win over the Packers.

Swift's role and usage were limited for the second consecutive week due to multiple nagging injuries. Jamaal Williams (24/81/0) handled the majority of the early-down work Sunday, with both backs producing modest fantasy lines in their respective roles. Swift is the back with the higher upside, but injuries have derailed a promising start to his 2022 campaign. The 23-year-old's managers are hoping that he can inch closer to handling a starter's workload after being eased back into action over Detroit's last two contests. Swift's next chance to accomplish that task will come against a struggling Bears defense next Sunday.

Mostert rushed nine times for 26 yards and a touchdown, failed to bring in either of his two targets and returned one kickoff for 18 yards in the Dolphins' 35-32 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Mostert shared the backfield with former 49ers teammate Jeff Wilson for the first time as a Dolphin, and the end result was an exact 50/50 split in carries. Wilson was the more efficient of the two with 51 yards on his nine totes, but Mostert got into the end zone on a one-yard run midway through the first quarter to salvage his fantasy day. However, the fact Wilson was immediately involved on a level that actually exceeded Mostert's -- the recent trade acquisition also posted a 3-21-1 line through the air -- is concerning for the Dolphins' incumbent back moving forward.

Singletary rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught four of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets.

Singletary finished a distant second to Josh Allen (86 yards, two TDs) on the ground. Buffalo's offense revolves around Allen both through the air and on the ground, so Singletary's volume is contingent on the Bills playing from in front, which wasn't the case in Buffalo's second loss of the season. Rushing opportunities could remain limited in Week 10 against the 7-1 Vikings.

Robinson rushed 13 times for 44 yards and brought in both targets for minus-6 yards in the Commanders' 20-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Robinson was once again mostly stymied on the ground, with his long run of the day going for just six yards. The rookie outpaced backfield mate Antonio Gibson by just two carries overall after checking in second to him in that category Week 8, but he should continue to helm the ground game in a tough Week 10 road matchup against the Eagles on Monday night, Nov. 14.

Williams rushed 24 times for 81 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 15-9 win over Green Bay.

D'Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder) suited up in a limited capacity (five touches for 50 yards) for the second week in a row, allowing Williams to dominate the backfield touches once again. The 24 carries set a new high for the veteran back, as he remains heavily involved in the game plan regardless of Swift's availability. Williams has produced a standout 126/545/8 rushing line through eight games, and he will look to continue his career year against a struggling Chicago defense next Sunday.

Jacobs rushed the ball 17 times for 67 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on three targets for 20 yards.

Jacobs got off to a very slow start to the game as the Raiders' offense flowed through Davante Adams. Jacobs managed a few chunk plays in the second half of the game to salvage his performance, highlighted by gains of 15 and 13 yards -- the latter of which came on a reception. Though Jacobs has failed to find the end zone or top 100 total yards in each of his last two games, he still commands almost all of the work out of the Las Vegas backfield and should remain a reliable producer as a result.

Cook rushed 17 times for 47 yards and brought in two of six targets for nine yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 20-17 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Cook had a difficult time finding any running room against a stingy Commanders front, but he still found a way to make an impact via a nifty 12-yard scoring grab down the left sideline midway through the fourth quarter. The versatile back's rushing yardage total was his lowest since Week 2, but the receiving score was his first of the season and helped salvage the otherwise underwhelming fantasy day. Cook has another unenviable matchup on tap in Week 10, as the Vikings travel to Buffalo to face the Bills.

Stevenson rushed the ball 15 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts. He added three receptions on seven targets for 10 yards and a touchdown.

Stevenson took on the majority of the work out of the backfield with Damien Harris (illness) sidelined. However, he had a mediocre game from an efficiency perspective and also sat for the majority of the fourth quarter with the Patriots in control of the game. The highlight of Stevenson's performance came in the middle of the second quarter when he hauled in a three-yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones. While his performance was a touch underwhelming, Stevenson has at least 15 carries in four of his last five games as the Patriots head into their bye.
