  • Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Catches one pass

    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.

  • Damien Harris RB | BUF

    Patriots' Damien Harris: Continues to roll in victory

    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.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Leads Bengals in rushing

    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.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Steelers' James Conner: Stymied by Bengals

    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.

  • Saints' Latavius Murray: Leads team in rushing

    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.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Rams' Cam Akers: Leading rusher in win

    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.

  • Melvin Gordon RB | BAL

    Broncos' Melvin Gordon: Limited usage in lopsided loss

    Gordon registered 46 rushing yards on 11 carries while failing to haul in either of his targets during Sunday's 37-12 loss to the Raiders.

    Backfield mate Phillip Lindsay was seldom deployed during Sunday's divisional defeat, notching just four touches, but Gordon's involvement faded as well with the Broncos falling into a 14-point deficit by the start of the fourth quarter. Denver elected to throw 47 times to just 19 team rush attempts in an effort to come from behind, but a lost fumble from DaeSean Hamilton along with a late interception from Drew Lock eliminated any hope for a comeback in the final frame. The two-time Pro Bowl back has now been held under 50 rushing yards in three straight games heading into a Week 11 matchup against a Dolphins defense that contained Chargers backs to 3.6 yards per attempt during a Week 10 win.

  • Chase Edmonds RB | WAS

    Cardinals' Chase Edmonds: Effective in No. 2 role Sunday

    Edmonds carried the ball eight times for 56 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.

    Despite the return of Kenyan Drake to the lineup, Edmonds still saw double-digit touches and put together a productive afternoon. The duo will likely continue to share the load in the Cardinals' backfield in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense that just gave up three rushing TDs to the Rams.

  • Kenyan Drake RB | GB

    Cardinals' Kenyan Drake: Hits century mark in return

    Drake carried the ball 16 times for 100 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.

    After missing last week's game with an ankle injury, Drake returned to the lineup and put together his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season. Chase Edmonds still saw 11 touches to Drake's 17, and the duo will likely continue to share the load in the Cardinals' backfield in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense that just gave up three rushing TDs to the Rams.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Scores three TDs against 49ers

    Kamara carried eight times for 15 yards and two touchdowns while adding seven catches (on eight targets) for 83 yards and an additional touchdown during Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers.

    Kamara averaged just 1.9 yards per carry against a tough San Francisco defensive front but was excellent yet again as a receiver while leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. He scored two short touchdowns in the second quarter and later added another to give him 11 for the season. Although Kamara hasn't been quite as effective with his rushes this season as he has in years past, his efficacy as a pass catcher and near the goal line has him among the top fantasy running backs. He could take on an even larger role in the coming weeks if Drew Brees (ribs) is sidelined, with his next chance to do so coming Sunday against the Falcons.
