  • Bears' Cordarrelle Patterson: Posts 40 scrimmage yards

    Patterson caught four passes for 27 yards and rushed three times for 13 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    With David Montgomery leaving the game early with a head injury, Patterson saw his highest number of touches since Week 2. Though he's yet to post more than 45 yards in any game this season, Patterson could be worth adding in leagues where he qualifies as a running back if Montgomery is forced to miss time, based on potential volume.

  • Bills' Devin Singletary: Receives five touches vs. Seahawks

    Singletary carried two times for one yard and caught all three of his targets for an additional 33 yards during Sunday's 44-34 win over the Seahawks.

    Singletary received his lowest total of carries on the season, as Zack Moss and Josh Allen did most of the work on the ground. Singletary topped 30 receiving yards for just the second time this season, but that wasn't enough to propel him to useful fantasy production. This was concerning for Singletary's fantasy outlook, considering he carried the ball 14 times last week and his team played from ahead for most of this one. It now appears his week-to-week role will be difficult to predict. As such, it is difficult to recommend inserting him into fantasy lineups for next Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

  • Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Notches receiving TD in win

    Edwards-Helaire rushed five times for 14 yards and secured three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 33-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    With Kansas City surprisingly falling behind by a 14-3 score in the first half, game script quickly turned away from the run. Consequently, Edwards-Helaire and backfield mate Le'Veon Bell combined for just nine carries, but the former managed to salvage his fantasy day with a four-yard touchdown grab, the first of his career, in the latter portion of the third quarter. Edwards-Helaire now concerningly has single-digit carries in three consecutive games, however, which will continue to add some weekly uncertainty to his fantasy prospects if it endures. The rookie will look to up his overall number of touches in a Week 11 battle versus the Raiders after a Week 10 bye.

  • Jaguars' James Robinson: Scores seventh TD

    Robinson carried 25 times for 99 yards and a touchdown while failing to haul in either of his targets in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Texans.

    Robinson received a career-high 25 totes in this one and found the sledding a bit tough as he finished with an average of 4.0 yards per carry. He also failed to make an impact in the passing game with Jake Luton under center, but Robinson still managed a respectable fantasy line thanks to a one-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter. Robinson now has seven scores for the season and should continue to be heavily involved in a favorable matchup with the Packers next Sunday.

  • Dalvin Cook RB | DAL

    Vikings' Dalvin Cook: Rumbles to another massive game

    Cook rushed the ball 22 times for 206 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Lions. He added two receptions for 46 yards.

    Cook dominated once again and played a key role in the team's second consecutive win. He found the end zone on the team's first drive of the game from five yards away and capped his effort with a 70-yard rumble to secure the victory for the Vikings early in the fourth quarter. In between, he logged explosive plays of 29, 17 and 14 yards -- two of which came as a receiver. In two games since returning from a groin injury, Cook has racked up 369 rushing yards, 109 receiving yards and six total touchdowns. He'll look to continue his dominance in Week 10 against a stiff Bears run defense.

  • Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Banged up in strong return

    McCaffrey rushed 18 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in all 10 targets for 82 yards and another score in the Panthers' 33-31 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. However, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports McCaffrey missed the last play of the game with a rib injury of unknown severity.

    McCaffrey was activated from injured reserve Saturday and was set to share time fairly evenly with Mike Davis in his first game action since Week 2. Ultimately, the Pro Bowl running back outpaced his teammate by 17 carries, and he ended up leading the team in receptions as well. McCaffrey showed no ill effects from the ankle sprain that had kept him sidelined in recent weeks, but the late-game rib injury naturally will be a source of concern for both the team and fantasy managers until more information is revealed. If he's able to suit up Week 10, McCaffrey will be in for a tough statistical matchup against a Buccaneers defense that was successful in limiting him the last three times it's faced him.

  • Bears' David Montgomery: Gets shaken up Sunday

    Montgomery is under evaluation for a concussion after departing Sunday's game in Tennessee.

    Montgomery was shaken up in the fourth quarter, with a head injury eventually revealed to be the concern. At the point he left the contest, he had 14 carries for 30 yards and three catches (on three targets) for 12 yards. If Montgomery needs some time away from the field, the Bears will have to trust in Cordarrelle Patterson, Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce out of the backfield.

  • Eno Benjamin RB | NO

    Cardinals' Eno Benjamin: Another healthy scratch

    Benjamin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Benjamin has yet to be active as a professional, even with Kenyan Drake (ankle) sidelined in this one. Instead, the Cardinals have deactivated the 2020 seventh-round pick and will roll with a backfield led by Chase Edmonds, with D.J. Foster and Jonathan Ward available in a pinch.

  • Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Suiting up Sunday, after all

    Elliott (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Steelers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Elliott's availability for Week 9 has wavered since the Cowboys deemed him questionable for this contest due to a sore hamstring, but a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network from early Sunday had the running back trending upward again after he put in a "good" workout Saturday. After doing the same during a pregame warmup Sunday, Elliott is available but may have more of a split of the backfield work than normal with his primary backup Tony Pollard, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com. Plus, a tough matchup against Pittsburgh's fifth-ranked run defense (96.9 yards per game) makes Elliott difficult to trust at less than 100 percent.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Active for Sunday's game

    Jacobs (knee/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Jacobs is coming off a Week 8 effort in which he logged his biggest workload of the season, racking up 31 carries for 129 yards in the Raiders' 16-6 win over the Browns, which was played in windy and less than balmy conditions in Cleveland. With Sunday's game being played at SoFi Stadium, weather won't factor into the game plan; nevertheless, barring any in-game setbacks, Jacobs still seems destined to remain fairly busy versus the Chargers, given that he's averaging 21 carries per game to date.
