Abdullah rushed nine times for 24 yards and caught all four of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.

Abdullah has now totaled double-digit touches in two of three games since joining the Panthers, with the last couple coming even with Christian McCaffrey in the lineup. Although rookie Chuba Hubbard seems like Carolina's preferred ball-carrier behind McCaffrey, Abdullah's pass-catching utility has helped move the chains. While the blowout nature of Sunday's game afforded Abdullah more playing time in the second half, he should nonetheless remain involved despite his third-string role in Week 11 versus Washington.

Gainwell rushed twice for five yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.

It was thought after Miles Sanders hit IR with an ankle injury that Gainwell would at the very least be the third-down back and see his duties expand in the passing game, if not be the lead back altogether. Instead, Jordan Howard and Boston Scott have handled almost the entire load. With Sanders eligible to return as soon as Week 11 and Howard having likely earned the right to stay on the roster, the rookie may not see meaningful opportunities unless the Eagles fall out of contention for a playoff spot.

McNichols gained seven yards on four carries in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints. He added one reception on three targets for one yard.

McNichols worked behind both Adrian Peterson and D'Onta Foreman and did little with the opportunity he did receive. His longest rush of the day went for only four yards, and he was also not a factor as a receiver. Though it was originally expected that McNichols would be a key figure in the Titans' backfield in the absence of Derrick Henry (foot), his role appears to have slipped significantly in the last two games.

Williams rushed 11 times for 43 yards and caught all nine of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-14 rout of the Raiders.

If you simply look at the rushing stats, Williams' night was nothing to write home about; it was the 26-year-old's work as a receiver that made waves. The nine receptions and 101 receiving yards were both new career highs for the fourth-year pro. Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) resumed practicing this week, but he was not activated off of injured reserve despite being eligible. This does open the door for the Chiefs' original starting tailback to return next week against the Cowboys, but Williams' strong play when called upon (621 combined yards and five touchdowns) this year could keep him involved in the offense regardless.

Jacobs rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught all five targets for 20 more yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs.

It was a rough night for Jacobs, who struggled to get anything going on the ground while the game was still within reach, only to get phased out in the second half due to an unfavorable game script. The bruising back also lost his lead blocker early when Alec Ingold left the game with an apparent knee injury that is now feared to be a torn ACL, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. With their fullback gone, the Raiders ran more plays out of the gun, which hurt Jacobs' downhill running style. The good news for Las Vegas' starting back is that the Bengals are on tap for Week 11. Cincinnati's defense has surrendered 20.6 fantasy points per game to opposing backs.

Williams carried the ball eight times for 48 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles. He also caught two of three targets for one yard.

He did well with his totes, but the Broncos fell behind early and were forced to get away from their running game. Williams continues to split backfield touches equally with Melvin Gordon and the duo has produced almost identical yardage totals heading into the Broncos' Week 11 bye, but the veteran back has overshadowed the rookie with seven TDs to Williams' two.

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.

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.

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.

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.
