Gordon carried the ball 12 times for 55 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-10 rout of the Jaguars.

Austin Ekeler erupted for 213 scrimmage yards on only 13 touches in the win, but Gordon was still able to post solid numbers with his own workload. He's produced at least 80 scrimmage yards in five straight games, racking up 526 combined yards and four TDs during that stretch, but Gordon will face a much tougher opponent Week 15 when the Chargers host the Vikings.

Ekeler carried the ball eight times for 101 yards and caught four of five targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-10 rout of the Jaguars.

The 213 scrimmage yards were a career high for the third-year running back, and Ekeler also helped Philip Rivers set a new personal best when he took a short pass early in the third quarter and raced 84 yards to the end zone -- the longest TD pass of the veteran quarterback's career. Ekeler is now 170 receiving yards shy of 1,000 for the year, but he'll have a much tougher matchup in Week 15 when the Chargers host the Vikings.

Drake ran for 37 yards on 11 carries and hauled in all three of his targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Pittsburgh.

The mid-season acquisition Drake continues to work ahead of long-time Cardinals workhorse David Johnson, as Drake's 11 rush attempts in Week 14 outpaced Johnson and Chase Edmonds' combined total by seven. Johnson did have the enormous boost of a 24-yard receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter, but Drake has still garnered a higher number of carries in each of the Cardinals' past four games following a breakout Week 9 performance in which Drake racked up 162 yards from scrimmage as Johnson sat with an ankle injury. Drake remains a starting consideration in deeper leagues given Arizona's upcoming Week 15 matchup against a Browns defense that has conceded 4.7 yards per carry on the season.

Breida (ankle) rushed six times for 54 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 48-46 win over the Saints.

Breida made his return from an ankle injury after a three-week absence, and while the light workload didn't help fantasy owners, his 9.0 yards per carry bodes well for his health and big-play ability moving forward. Tevin Coleman started the game as per usual, but Breida and Raheem Mostert took over as coach Kyle Shanahan's two-man backfield in the huge conference win. Expect the man they call "The Cheetah" to get more involved next week against the Falcons after getting a full week of practice under his belt.

Singletary carried 17 times for 89 yards and caught six of eight targets for an additional 29 yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Ravens.

Facing a tough Baltimore defense, Singletary averaged a respectable 5.2 yards per carry while breaking off a long gain of 38 yards. He also tied for the team lead in targets and set a new career high for receptions, though his mark of 4.8 yards per catch wasn't particularly impressive. Singletary has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games and will look to continue his recent success next Sunday against the Steelers.

Mattison carried the ball 14 times for 46 yards in the team's Week 14 win over the Lions. He added two receptions for 42 yards.

Mattison matched a season high with 14 carries, though he was still out-touched by Dalvin Cook. He wasn't particularly efficient with his opportunity, as half of his carries went for two yards or fewer. While the health of Cook was a question entering the game, Mattison's workload was seemingly due more to the Vikings' relative comfort in winning the contest, as Cook accounted for 13 of the team's 19 carries in the first half while Mattison received nine of the team's 20 carries after halftime. Mattison may be the most valuable handcuff at this point in the season, though his standalone value is questionable unless Cook suffers a setback prior the team's Week 15 contest against the Chargers.

Mostert rushed 10 times for 69 yards and a touchdown, while also chipping in 40 receiving yards and another score on two receptions in Sunday's 48-46 victory over New Orleans.

Mostert figured to revert back to a special teams role with both Matt Breida (ankle) and Tevin Coleman starting together again -- as he usually does in this scenario -- but the third-stringer ended up leading the backfield in touches (12), yards (109) and touchdowns (two). Coleman technically started the game, but the veteran finished with just three carries for six yards and is clearly losing playing time in this offense. Mostert is trending up and entering flex territory in most formats heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Falcons.

Laird rushed 15 times for 48 yards and caught four of five targets for 38 more yards in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Jets.

Laird operated as Miami's featured back, but he finished with 17 fewer rushing yards than quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The man Fitzpatrick nicknamed "The intern" is a full-fledged employee now, having touched the ball 33 times in the past two weeks. Desperate owners could do worse than Laird against the Giants in Week 15.

Jones rushed 16 times for 134 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 58 yards in the Packers' 20-15 win over the Redskins on Sunday.

After multiple lackluster weeks, Jones proved capable of exploiting a weak Redskins run defense to compile a season-high rushing yardage total. Jones also continued to make his presence felt in the passing game, also pacing the team in receiving yardage and logging over five targets for the seventh time on the campaign. Jones will look to put together back-to-back strong efforts in a Week 15 divisional battle against the Bears.

Chubb carried 15 times for 106 yards and caught his only target for 11 additional yards during Sunday's 27-19 win over the Bengals.

Chubb averaged an impressive 7.1 yards per carry, although he was largely bottled up outside of an explosive 57-yard gain. He watched as Kareem Hunt received double-digit touches yet again and scored a short rushing touchdown despite lackluster results on most of his carries. Hunt's presence has certainly limited Chubb's weekly ceiling due to decreased usage, but he's still averaged 95.6 rushing yards over the last five games to put him near 1,300 for the season. He will look to thrive in next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Cardinals.
