Bolden was on the field for 19 special-teams snaps in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.

With Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead all healthy enough to play at this stage, Bolden will continue to make his biggest impact on special teams. He served as the Patriots' primary kickoff returner Week 9, en route to returning two kicks for 53 yards.

Penny rushed four times for 12 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers.

Penny impressed last week as he managed 55 yards on just eight carries, but his role dried up in this outing. Despite Chris Carson fumbling twice, Penny barely got on the field, as he logged 11 of a possible 75 offensive snaps. Carson's fumbles are a concern, but he racked up 105 yards on 16 carries while catching both targets for 28 yards. His production seems to cancel out the costly turnovers at this point, but Penny remains a valuable handcuff in case Carson is injured.

Edwards had seven carries for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Patriots.

Mark Ingram (115 rushing yards) did most of the heavy lifting against a tough Patriots front seven, but it was Edwards who provided the lone rushing touchdown aside from Lamar Jackson's two scores. The 24-year-old is averaging 7.4 carries as a change-of-pace option behind Ingram, but he is rarely used in the passing game and Sunday's score was his first of the season. Edwards could see some extra work in a Week 10 matchup against the Bengals with blowout potential -- similar to the 14 carries he received in Week 1's drubbing of the Dolphins -- but fantasy owners shouldn't be relying on him outside of emergency situations.

Jones rushed 18 times for 67 yards and a touchdown and secured both of his targets for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Jones spearheaded the Buccaneers' backfield by a comfortable margin, garnering 14 more carries than Peyton Barber. He powered in from eight yards out to cap off a seven-play, 75-yard drive in the first quarter as well, his third rushing touchdown of the season overall. Jones has encouragingly logged double-digit carries in consecutive games, but it's still anyone's guess who'll lead the backfield between he and Barber from week to week. Jones will look to build on what was his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season when he faces the Cardinals in Week 10.

Freeman carried the ball five times for 15 yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Browns.

The second-year RB mostly took a back seat to Phillip Lindsay in this one, as the latter's 30-yard TD run in the third quarter ended up being the winning score for Denver. The 14 scrimmage yards were Freeman's lowest output of the year -- he hadn't produced less than 45 coming into Sunday -- and with the team's bye on tap in Week 10, Freeman's role could be in flux coming out the other side if Lindsay's wrist injury heals enough to allow him to handle pass-protection duties again.

Chubb carried the ball 20 times for 65 yards and caught four of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Broncos.

While he's amassed at least 85 scrimmage yards in every game this season, Chubb had difficulty making an impact in this one -- his longest gain went for only 11 yards, and his 3.3 YPC was his worst performance of the year. The second-year RB will look to ramp things up at home next week, facing a Bills defense that just let Adrian Peterson top the century mark against it.

Williams carried the ball twice for 10 yards and caught all six of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.

His fourth-quarter score didn't affect the outcome, but it did extend Williams' streak of games with a receiving TD to four. His six targets were also a season high, in part due to the Packers' offensive line struggling to protect Aaron Rodgers and the QB needing to get rid of the ball quickly. Williams stands a good chance of being productive again next week against a Panthers defense that has been vulnerable to RBs, both on the ground and through the air, all year.

Jones carried the ball eight times for 30 yards and caught one of four targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.

The Packers' offense got shut out in the first half and didn't have much more success after halftime, and as a result, Jones wound up with arguably his worst performance of the season. He should find more running room in Week 10 against a Panthers defense that just surrendered two TDs, one rushing and one receiving, to Derrick Henry.

Henry carried the ball 13 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Panthers. He also added three receptions for 36 yards and another touchdown through the air.

Henry drew his lowest number of carries for the season, but that didn't stop him from producing. He struggled to break free from the Panthers' run defense in the first half -- his longest rush went for three yards -- but he managed a bit more production on the ground after halftime with an eight-yard rushing score and another scamper for 12 yards. More notably, Henry turned in a rare contribution in the passing game, hauling in a 23-yard screen pass for another touchdown. Though Tennessee's offense is far from spectacular, Henry will continue to play a major role in any success they experience.

Ekeler carried the ball 12 times for 70 yards and caught all four of his targets for 23 yards in the 26-11 win Sunday over the Packers.

While Ekeler ultimately saw teammate Melvin Gordon register two one-yard touchdowns, it was the former who was far more explosive Sunday, ripping off an average of 5.8 yards per carry compared to Gordon's 4.0 figure. Considering the Chargers never trailed, it was a bit of an odd game script for Ekeler, but the shifty back capitalized on a molasses-like Packers' linebacking corps, routinely cutting and knifing his way for additional yards after contact. This was the first game since Gordon's return from a contract holdout that the duo has each gone over 40-plus total yards, so it should come as a genuine shock to see both combine for 202 yards. Most of the credit should go to the dreadfully bad Packers defense, but it's possible Ekeler and Gordon could have a similarly effective day next week against the Raiders.
