Dillion rushed 15 times for 71 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 45-30 win over Chicago.

Dillon continued to see the lion's share of rushing attempts in comparison to Aaron Jones (15 to five), while the latter took over the receiving work (three catches to zero). The pair of players bring differing rushing profiles to the table, with the larger Dillon bringing a physical north-south running style, while Jones is more agile and is a smoother receiver out of the backfield. This is developing into a timeshare situation similar to that of the Cleveland Browns, who have the "thunder and lighting" combination of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (when both are healthy). The combination of Green Bay's talented backs gives Aaron Rodgers even more weapons to torment defenses with, and both players carry value in standard leagues heading into a Week 15 matchup with Baltimore.

Jones rushed five times for 35 yards and a touchdown, adding three receptions for 30 yards and another score in Sunday's 45-30 win over the Bears.

Jones looked like his usual dominant self fresh off of the bye after struggling in his first game back from injury in Week 12. AJ Dillon (15 carries for 71 yards) received the lion's share of rushing attempts, out-touching his fellow back 15 to eight. Jones' nose for the end zone netted his managers the better fantasy line, but head coach Matt LaFleur seems committed to a true timeshare between the two talented backs, which puts a slight damper on Jones' previously-elite fantasy value. When healthy, the 27-year-old is such a weapon that he can still be a must-start asset in his new limited role.

McNichols recorded eight rushes for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

McNichols returned from a two-game absence and finished second on the team with eight rushes. The majority of that work came in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand, and he didn't do much to convince Tennessee that he should be working ahead of D'Onta Foreman or Dontrell Hilliard. While he managed a 12-yard gain, McNichols was otherwise primarily stuffed behind or at the line of scrimmage to turn in a disappointing performance in his return.

Gore recorded nine rushes for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-9 win over Las Vegas. He added two receptions for 23 yards.

Gore had only one carry and one target at halftime, though he got extended run in the final two quarters with Kansas City comfortably ahead. He recorded the team's longest gain of the day on a 51-yard rush to the end zone in the middle of the fourth quarter. Gore is likely to serve as the Chiefs' third running back moving forward, but this type of workload shouldn't be projected for what figures to be a closer matchup in Week 15 against Los Angeles.

Williams carried the ball twice for eight yards in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders. He added three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown.

Williams was out-carried by both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Derrick Gore, though the latter's usage was largely due to garbage time. Williams did his primary damage through the air, with the highlight coming on a 23-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter. Despite posting over 80 yards in Kansas City's Week 13 contest and registering strong results Sunday, Williams has not surpassed eight total touches in any of his three games since Edwards-Helaire returned.

Mixon carried the ball 18 times for 58 yards and caught both his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

For the first time since Week 3, Mixon failed to get into the end zone as his nine-game TD streak got snapped. He also didn't sniff 100 scrimmage yards for the second consecutive contest, after reaching that mark in three straight. Mixon still reached 1,000 rushing yards for the season, the third time in his career he's accomplished that feat, and he'll look to get back to his scoring ways in Week 15 against the Broncos.

Wilson carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.

He led the Niners in carries and rushing yards as JaMycal Hasty and Kyle Juszczyk were confined to pass-catching duties, but it was Deebo Samuel who had the team's only rushing TD on the day. Wilson's modest fantasy value is tied to the health of Elijah Mitchell (concussion) heading into a Week 15 clash with the Falcons.

Singletary rushed four times for 52 yards and secured six of seven targets for 37 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Bills barely bothered to run the ball in conventional fashion against the Buccaneers' nearly impenetrable front, with Josh Allen easily serving as the team's most productive performer on the ground. However, Singletary was able to rip off a 29-yard run and was highly efficient with his three other carries as well, leading to his best rushing yardage total since Week 4. His reception total was also his second highest of the season, making it a productive fantasy day overall in a game where Buffalo focused heavily on the pass. Singletary should have a chance at a more robust workload on the ground in a Week 15 home matchup against the Panthers.

Williams carried the ball 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for 10 yards and another TD in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

The rookie looked like he might be get another game as the undisputed lead back for Denver after Melvin Gordon suffered a hand injury early in the first quarter, but the veteran RB quickly returned to action and wound up scoring two TDs of his own while leading the Broncos in scrimmage yards. Williams' numbers were hardly disappointing though, as he opened the scoring with a five-yard run in the opening frame before hauling in his TD pass in the third quarter, giving him four touchdowns in the last three games. Gordon isn't expected to miss any action due to his latest injury, leaving Williams in a timeshare once again in Week 15 against the Bengals.

Gordon carried the ball 24 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

The veteran back came into the game nursing hip and shoulder injuries that kept him on the sidelines last week, and Gordon seemed like he could end up missing most of another contest after he suffered a hand injury early in Sunday's action. He quickly returned to the field, however, and turned in arguably his most productive effort of the season as the Broncos steamrolled the short-handed Lions. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Gordon doesn't expect his latest injury to cost him any time, so he should again be a big part of the game plan in Week 15 against the Bengals.
