Stevenson ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries while adding four catches for 14 yards on five targets against Cleveland on Sunday.

The Cleveland run defense had played well before this game, so it's impressive that the rookie fourth-round pick was able to carve out consistent yardage from start to finish in the 45-7 blowout victory. Stevenson might have played well enough to force more of a workload split with incumbent starter Damien Harris (concussion), who sat out Sunday. At minimum, Stevenson has proven he can carry the Patriots ground game if Harris misses any time in the future.

Johnson ran for 99 yards on 19 carries while catching seven passes for 58 yards on eight targets against New England on Sunday.

The Browns weren't very threatening in the 45-7 loss and the point gap might have led New England to play less aggressively on defense, but this is still an impressive showing for the undrafted Johnson, who has thrived in both of his spot starts this year. Johnson is expected to head back to a reserve role against the Lions in Week 11, but by now he's given convincing reason to believe he'll play well whenever he gets an extended opportunity.

Pollard rushed 11 times for 42 yards and caught six of seven targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons.

Pollard actually mustered one more rushing yard than Ezekiel Elliott on three fewer carries, but Elliott scored a pair of short touchdowns, while Pollard still hasn't found the end zone since Week 2. This was the best pass-catching performance of the season for Pollard, both in terms of receptions and yardage, but his ceiling remains capped by his change-of-pace role and lack of red-zone usage heading into a Week 11 road matchup with the Chiefs.

Elliott rushed 14 times for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons. He also caught all three of his targets for 15 yards, ran in a two-point conversion, threw a four-yard pass and lost a fumble.

Elliott was a key contributor in Dallas' dominant second quarter, during which the Cowboys outscored the Falcons 29-0. He powered in touchdowns from one and two yards out and also ran in a two-point conversion, demonstrating his short-yardage prowess. Elliott's up to seven rushing touchdowns this season, and he has now produced at least eight scrimmage touchdowns in each of his first six NFL campaigns. He'll have a favorable Week 11 matchup next in what should be a high-scoring battle with the Chiefs.

Boone (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Boone was limited Thursday before a DNP on Friday. Damarea Crockett should pick up the slack in the meantime.

Jefferson injured his ankle during Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

Jefferson was off to a nice start before his departure in the first half, taking three carries for 41 yards and one touchdown. After the 28-yard score, though, Lions trainers checked out his left ankle, and the rookie seventh-rounder needed a cart to get off the field, per Chris Burke of The Athletic. A declaration of questionable to return was announced not long afterward, so the Lions will operate with D'Andre Swift and Godwin Igwebuike out of the backfield as long as Jefferson is sidelined with Jamaal Williams (thigh) out for a second consecutive contest.

Breida is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Chris Jenkins of the Bills' official site reports.

With Breida active for the first time since Week 2, the Bills will have four running backs (Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, Breida and Taiwan Jones) available Sunday. Moss had been in the NFL's concussion protocol before being cleared Saturday, so Breida gives the team some added depth in the event that Moss suffers any setbacks or is limited in any way versus the Jets.

Ozigbo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Ozigbo was active for Week 9 but won't be suiting up Sunday with James Robinson (heel) cleared to play. Carlos Hyde will work as the No. 2 tailback with Dare Ogunbowale serving as the reserve option.

Perine (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

After suiting up each of the past three weeks while playing just 26 snaps in total -- and only seven on offense -- Perine is back in street clothes for Week 10 with Tevin Coleman (hamstring) making his return. Coleman will replace Perine as the Jets' No. 3 back behind Michael Carter and Ty Johnson.

Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.

Mack is a healthy scratch for the second straight contest while the Colts again roll with Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson as their available running backs.
