Murray ran for 64 yards and a touchdown on seven rush attempts during Sunday's 34-31 win against the Panthers.

The 29-year-old hammer did most of his damage early on, logging four of his seven carries and 44 of his 64 rushing yards during the first quarter. Of course, much of that production came on a single game-shifting play, as Murray's 26-yard TD run helped the Saints cap a successful seven-play opening drive. While his three-game spree of 17 combined receptions and 121 receiving yards between Weeks 6 and 8 appears to be a facade -- given that he's only compiled four catches for 12 yards in three games since -- Murray continues to churn out scores on the ground. He has four rushing TDs over his past five outings heading into a Week 13 matchup against Atlanta's middling rush defense.

Montgomery rushed 13 times for 22 yards and caught two passes for nine yards in the Bears' 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

Even though he appeared fully recovered from the ankle injury that limited him last week, he continued to split work fairly equally with Tarik Cohen, and aside from a 13-yard run, Montgomery was unable to generate much yardage after contact. Despite his poor performance, this was the first time in five games that he failed to post at least 50 yards from scrimmage, and he should be considered a low-end starting option for fantasy managers.

Kamara ran for 54 yards on 11 carries and caught all nine of his targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 34-31 win against the Panthers.

Those who selected Kamara over Christian McCaffrey in fantasy drafts this past summer are still kicking themselves. Though the third-year back hasn't been quite as dominant as his NFC South counterpart through 12 weeks of the 2019 campaign, Kamara continues to churn out excellent fantasy performances by virtue of his pass-catching acumen. Kamara has not exceeded 75 rushing yards in any game since accounting for 97 yards in the season opener against Houston, but he's averaged an amazing eight receptions per game over his past five appearances, after compiling just five catches per game Weeks 1 through 4. He projects to be a top-flight running back option for Week 13, with the Saints taking on a Falcons defense that has conceded 27-plus points in five of its past seven outings.

Mixon carried 18 times for 79 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

Mixon's 18 carries were his second most since Oct. 6, and he averaged a respectable 4.4 yards per tote against a solid Pittsburgh front. He curiously wasn't involved in the passing game and finished without a target for the first time this season. Mixon has come to life as a runner over the last four weeks, averaging 86.3 yards per game while carrying at least 15 times in each contest. Consistent production as a pass catcher would benefit his fantasy stock, and he'll look to get more involved in that department next Sunday against the Jets.

Sanders rushed the ball 12 times for 63 yards in the team's Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. He also added three receptions on five targets for 23 yards.

Sanders tallied 15 total touches, matching the highest mark of his rookie campaign. He was largely bottled up on the ground in the first half, but he managed more than five yards on seven of his carries overall. Sanders also contributed in the passing game, and he has now recorded at least three receptions in five of his last six contests. While Sanders appears to be gaining a foothold in the offense, Jordan Howard (shoulder) may be ready to return in Week 13 as the Eagles take on the Dolphins, complicating the touch distribution in the backfield once again.

Barkley rushed 17 times for 59 yards and caught two of three targets for one yard in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Bears.

Chicago's defense did a good job of limiting Barkley, especially as a receiver out of the backfield, as he set season lows in both catches and receiving yards. Barkley has been mostly a decoy in the red zone, as he remains stuck on just two rushing touchdowns and one receiving score this season. He's also failed to eclipse 100 yards on the ground since doing so in each of the season's first two games. Barkley will hope to get back on track when the Packers come to town in Week 13.

Snell carried 21 times for 98 yards and added a five-yard catch during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

Snell returned from a knee injury and showed no lingering effects, as he topped 20 carries for the first time in his NFL career. He averaged 4.7 yards per tote against a beatable Cincinnati defense and topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time as well. Snell appears to be the go-to ball carrier with James Conner (shoulder) sidelined, and he will look to build on this breakout effort next Sunday against the Browns.

McCaffrey rushed 22 times for 64 yards and a touchdown while catching all nine of his targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints.

McCaffrey had a one-yard touchdown among his nine catches, and he later added a four-yard score on the ground. The multi-faceted running back now has 12 rushing scores and four more through the air, and McCaffrey has caught the ball 20 times in his last two games alone. Even when he doesn't do much on a per-touch basis, McCaffrey's nose for the end zone and heavy volume week in and week out make him arguably the most valuable asset in the fantasy realm.

Singletary ran for 106 yards on 21 carries and added an eight-yard catch during Sunday's 20-3 win over Denver.

The Broncos came into Sunday as one of the stingier run defenses in the league over the past month or so, but Singletary plugged away for his first career 100-yard rushing performance. The rookie has been magnificent moving the chains this season, averaging 5.9 yards per carry despite just five carries of over 20 yards and none of 25 or more yards this season. His role is continuing to increase, with at least 16 touches in three of his last four games, and he should be counted on Thursday against a Dallas defense that is ranked in the top 10 in the league against the pass but one that has been a little more generous against the run this season.

Jones rushed 12 times for 51 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Jones split run-game work almost evenly with Peyton Barber, who logged 11 carries himself. However, it was Jones who got a touchdown opportunity and made good with it, powering his way into the end zone from four yards out to cap off the opening drive of the second half for the Buccaneers. The score was Jones' fifth of the season, all of which have come on the ground. The second-year back will look to follow up his solid performance when he faces the vulnerable Jaguars run defense Week 13.
