  • Melvin Gordon RB | BAL

    Broncos' Melvin Gordon: Salvages day with another TD

    Gordon carried the ball nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles. He also caught one of four targets for minus-2 yards.

    While Gordon continues to see an equal split of the backfield touches with rookie Javonte Williams, the veteran RB has been the more productive fantasy asset thanks to his ability to get into the end zone -- Gordon has scored in four straight games, amassing five TDs during that span. Heading into the Broncos' Week 11 bye, he has 683 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns (five rushing, two receiving) on the season.

  • Boston Scott RB | PIT

    Eagles' Boston Scott: Tops 100 scrimmage yards in win

    Scott carried the ball 11 times for 81 yards and caught both his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.

    The 81 rushing yards and 105 scrimmage yards were both season highs for the fourth-year RB, although Jordan Howard topped him by two yards for the team lead in the former category. With Miles Sanders eligible to return from his ankle injury in Week 11 against the Saints, however, neither Scott nor Howard are guaranteed to keep their current role in the Eagles' offense.

  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Titans' D'Onta Foreman: Leads backfield

    Foreman carried the ball 11 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints. He added two receptions for 48 yards.

    Foreman led the Titans' backfield with 11 carries, and he out-paced Adrian Peterson both in opportunity and production on the ground. However, his primary contributions came on receptions of 39 and nine yards. Foreman has quickly found himself in a significant role with the Titans both as a rusher and pass catcher, as he now has 16 rushing attempts and two receptions in a pair of games with the team. Despite his relatively secure role in the offense, Foreman is still stuck in a three-way split in the Titans' backfield, limiting his potential for volume moving forward.

  • Saints' Dwayne Washington: Two touches in Kamara's absence

    Washington rushed twice for eight yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Titans.

    With Alvin Kamara (knee) sidelined, Mark Ingram commanded the vast majority of work out of the backfield while Washington was only a change-of-pace option who barely saw the field on offense. Even if Kamara remains sidelined in Week 11, Washington won't be worthy of fantasy consideration.

  • Austin Ekeler RB | WAS

    Chargers' Austin Ekeler: Scores again in Sunday's loss

    Ekeler carried the ball 11 times for 44 yards and caught three of six targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Vikings.

    The fifth-year back has failed to reach 100 scrimmage yards three times in the last four contests, but Ekeler continues to supply fantasy value thanks to his nose for the end zone -- he has nine TDs (five rushing, four receiving) in nine games on the season. Ekeler faces a potentially tough matchup in Week 11 against the Steelers.

  • Lions' Godwin Igwebuike: Makes most of opportunity

    Igwebuike rushed the ball twice for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Pittsburgh.

    Igwebuike was elevated up the depth chart as Jamaal Williams (thigh) was forced to miss another game and Jermar Jefferson (ankle) exited Sunday's contest in the first half. Though that largely benefited D'Andre Swift -- he saw a career-high 33 carries -- Igwebuike found the end zone on a 42-yard rush on the Lions' first drive of the second half. Pending the health of both Williams and Jefferson, Igwebuike could serve as a change-of-pace back for a Week 11 matchup against Cleveland.

  • Dalvin Cook RB | DAL

    Vikings' Dalvin Cook: Tops 100 scrimmage yards again

    Cook carried the ball 24 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and caught three of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

    The running back produced the decisive points in the game when he punched in a one-yard TD with just over five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Cook has topped 100 scrimmage yards in five of his seven games this season, but he's been curiously allergic to the end zone, managing only three touchdowns so far after piling up 30 in 28 games over the prior two seasons. He'll look to pick up the scoring pace in Week 11 against the Packers.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Scores off bench

    Hubbard rushed nine times for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.

    Hubbard got just three carries while watching star Christian McCaffrey rack up nearly 130 scrimmage yards in the first half. However, after McCaffrey was seen in Carolina's medical tent early in the third quarter and was subsequently left on the sideline for most of the second half, Hubbard garnered more of the workload. He capitalized with a five-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter. While the Panthers' comfortable lead may have contributed toward McCaffrey watching most of the late-game action, if his status is impacted by any injury going forward, Hubbard would figure to again be the main beneficiary, having filled in admirably while McCaffrey was sidelined five games with a hamstring issue earlier this season.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Scores once again

    Conner rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Panthers. He also caught three of four targets for 25 yards.

    Conner didn't approach last week's monstrous output, but he still managed to find the end zone once again. With an 11-yard rush during the fourth quarter, Conner brought his season total to 12 touchdowns, including 11 on the ground. That score helped compensate for an otherwise modest performance in which Arizona's usual second and third-string quarterbacks led the offense. The team will hope star signal-caller Kyler Murray (ankle) can return versus the Seahawks next week, but with fellow tailback Chase Edmonds (ankle) recently placed on injured reserve, there's no doubt Conner will continue to lead the backfield charge no matter who is throwing the ball.

  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Packers' AJ Dillon: Plays hero off the bench

    Dillon ran for 66 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries and caught two passes for 62 yards on two targets against Seattle on Sunday.

    Aaron Jones left the game with a knee injury that will require monitoring, though the Packers initially stated they believe it to be an MCL injury of some sort. A significant MCL sprain could keep Jones out multiple weeks, and if so it would require Dillon to step into a three-down, workhorse role like he did against the Seahaws. The upcoming Vikings run defense is no pushover, but Dillon is a substantial talent and could prove imposing with a bigger workload. If Jones is able to bounce back quickly and suit up against Minnesota, Dillon would likely revert to more of a flex consideration in fantasy.
