Snell recorded three carries for 12 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Bengals.

Even though the Steelers maintained a considerable lead throughout the second half, Snell saw minimal work once again as the team elected to rely on its starters down the stretch. As a result, the 2019 fourth-rounder was on the field for just four offensive snaps late in the game. Snell was efficient as he averaged 4.0 yards per carry, but he's been mainly relegated to special teams in recent weeks.

Dallas rushed twice for eight yards and caught two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

Dallas was expected to take on a large workload once again because Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) were inactive, but instead Alex Collins ended up leading the Seattle backfield in snaps and touches. This may have been Dallas' final opportunity for a significant workload, as Carson is expected to return this Thursday against the Cardinals.

Williams ran the ball eight times for 30 yards and caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars.

After sitting out Week 9, Williams returned to action and saw only half the touches he averaged while serving as the lead back in Weeks 7 and 8 with Aaron Jones sidelined, but he still managed to record double-digit touches for the fifth time in eight games. There will be a cap on Williams' upside whenever he and Jones are both healthy, but with 532 yards from scrimmage and 26 receptions on the season, Williams has proven worthy of a roster spot in most fantasy leagues, particularly those that utilize PPR scoring.

McCaffrey (shoulder) is not expected to suit up against the Lions on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 24-year-old running back appears set to miss a second straight contest due to an AC joint injury, an event that would likely once again thrust Mike Davis into a three-down role in Carolina's backfield. McCaffrey wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week, so it would represent tangible progress if he's able to log at least some amount of on-field activity leading up to Sunday's contest against Detroit, even if he is ultimately forced to miss the game. With Teddy Bridgewater (knee) considered day-to-day due to an MCL sprain and also in apparent danger of missing Week 11, a number of key positions for the Panthers' offense are currently in flux.

Ogunbowale caught one of two targets for five yards and had two tackles during Sunday's 24-20 loss at Green Bay.

The 26-year-old saw additional offensive snaps and had his first touch of the season with Chris Thompson (back) leaving early with injury, but James Robinson still dominated the backfield work for Jacksonville. Ogunbowale could see sporadic chances as the passing-down back should Thompson miss time, but he's unlikely to be much of a factor in the offense regardless.

Harris (chest-ankle) rushed 22 times for 121 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over Baltimore.

Harris carried a questionable tag heading into the Sunday Night Football affair, so fantasy owners who rolled the dice on the tailback were rewarded handsomely. The 2019 third-round pick set a new career high in carries (22) thanks to rainy and windy conditions at Foxborough, and he was a big reason why the Patriots were able to move the ball with ease against a stout Baltimore defense. Harris is only on the field for about a third of the Patriots' offensive snaps this season, but he touches the ball on 62.5 percent of the snaps he is active for, a rate which can keep him fantasy-relevant while technically being part of a committee. Sony Michel (knee) remains on IR, but even when he returns, it would be hard to see Harris having his workload reduced so long as he continues to average 5.5 yards per carry. Harris should not be on any waiver wires heading into Week 11, and he is considered a strong play against a porous Texans defense.

Perine carried the ball seven times for 48 yards in Week 10 against the Steelers. He added one reception for seven yards.

Perine's eight total touches lagged behind Giovani Bernard's 12, but he managed to work more efficiently with his opportunities. He played a key role in the Bengals' lone drive that ended with a touchdown, ripping off a run of 14 yards and a reception that gained an additional seven yards. Perine could be in line for more change-of-pace work if Joe Mixon (foot) remains out in Week 11 against Washington.

Conner carried the ball 13 times for 36 yards in Week 10 against the Bengals. He added two receptions for 12 yards.

Despite leading for the entirety of the game, Ben Roethlisberger threw 46 times and limited Conner's chances to make an impact. However, even when he had the ball in his hands, Conner was largely ineffective and limited to just 2.8 yards per carry. His longest rush of the day went for 16 yards, marking the third consecutive contest in which Conner has failed to gain more than 20 yards on a single play. Hampering Conner's value even further is his limited involvement in the passing game, as he has surpassed 20 receiving yards just once on the season. He'll draw a matchup against the Jaguars in Week 11.

Murray carried nine times for 57 yards during Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers.

Murray averaged a healthy 6.3 yards per carry as he came through with his second-best output of the season. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara managed just 15 yards on eight totes but managed a pair of short rushing touchdowns and another via the pass. Murray has received at least eight carries in eight of nine games this season and could take on a larger role if the team leans more on the running game in the event that Drew Brees (ribs) is forced to miss time. His next chance to step up will come Sunday against the Falcons.

Akers carried the ball 10 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Seahawks.

The Rams deployed a true backfield committee in this one, as Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown saw eight touches each, but while Akers posted the most rushing yards, the other two backs scored three TDs between them. All three backs could struggle to post useful numbers if that workload split continues in Week 11 on the road against a very stingy Buccaneers run defense.
