Jacobs carried 28 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Jacobs notched a new career high in rush attempts while coming four yards shy of his personal best in that category. He scored a two-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a three-yard score just before halftime, giving him three multi-touchdown games this season. He failed to haul in either of his two targets and continues to underwhelm as a receiver, but he's otherwise been a useful fantasy asset of late. Jacobs will look to keep it up Thursday in a Week 10 matchup against the Chargers.

Gordon carried the ball 20 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns and also caught three of his four targets for 29 yards in the 26-11 win Sunday over the Packers.

Gordon finally had his breakout game, feasting on a porous Packers run defense to rip off consistent chunks of yardage throughout the contest. The 26-year-old benefited immensely from positive field position; his first touchdown was essentially set up following a blocked punt midway through the third quarter, while the second came after the Packers forced a Chargers field goal near the goal line late in the fourth,. However, an offside penalty on the latter play tempted head coach Anthony Lynn with a 4th-and-inches situation, which Gordon converted into a game-sealing touchdown. Still, Gordon looked explosive and shifty, at one point hurdling over a defender en route to his longest run of the game and his second consecutive contest with a 15-plus yard carries.

Singletary ran for 95 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, while hauling in three of four targets for 45 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 win against the Redskins.

After amassing 127 rushing yards and a touchdown through Buffalo's first two games of the year, Singletary was beleaguered by a hamstring injury and deemed unavailable to play between Weeks 3 and 6. Since returning Week 7 against Miami, the rookie third-round draft choice has resumed his strong debut campaign, averaging an impressive 4.7 yards per carry over the past three weeks while adding seven receptions for 75 yards. What is most encouraging in regards to his fantasy outlook is the massive uptick in workload, as Singletary's 20 rush attempts Sunday nearly tripled his previous season high of seven carries. Upcoming next is a matchup against a Cleveland defense that entered Week 9 ranking as a bottom-10 unit with more than 110 rushing yards surrendered per game to opposing running backs.

Mack rushed the ball 21 times for 89 yards in Week 9 against the Steelers.

Mack was limited to just eight touches in the first half, but returned to his workhorse role after halftime. His most explosive run came in the third quarter, when he broke off a 24-yard run behind his right tackle. While he remains uninvolved in the passing game, Mack has seen at least 18 carries in six of eight games this season -- including in each of his last four. Due to his lack of receptions, Mack is reliant on finding paydirt to turn in big fantasy performances. However, he is in line for a strong matchup against Miami in Week 10, particularly if the Colts are forced to turn to Brian Hoyer as their quarterback.

Sanders carried 10 times for 42 yards and caught all three of his targets for an additional 31 yards during Sunday's 22-14 win over the Bears.

Sanders received double-digit carries for the first time in five games, averaging a respectable 4.2 yards per tote against a solid Chicago defense. He also hauled in exactly three of three targets for the fourth straight game, averaging 10.3 yards per catch en route to 73 scrimmage yards. Sanders continues to receive his share of touches each week, but his only two touchdowns this season have come on big plays, so he relies on efficiency to be able to post useful fantasy numbers. This should remain the case against the Patriots after the bye.

Williams rushed 12 times for 125 yards and a touchdown and secured both his targets for three yards in the Chiefs' 26-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Williams' made his fantasy day with a spectacular 91-yard scoring run midway through the third quarter that erased a 16-10 deficit. The veteran running back hadn't eclipsed 30 rushing yards in any game this season prior to Sunday, however, and he'd have barely accomplished the feat against the Vikings had it not been for his game-long scamper. Therefore, Williams will remain a speculative play going into a Week 10 battle against the Titans.

Cook rushed 21 times for 71 yards and brought in four of seven targets for 45 yards in the Vikings' 26-23 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Cook came into the contest with sky-high expectations due to the favorable matchup against a suspect Kansas City run defense, but he was mostly contained throughout the contest. The star running back had a long run of 12 yards, and fell short of the 100-yard mark on the ground for the third time in the last four games. Cook did encouragingly continue with his solid passing game role, as his four catches tied for the team lead and pushed his reception total over the last two contests to nine overall. Cook will look to boost his production in a Week 10 battle against the Cowboys in a Sunday night battle.

Montgomery rushed 14 times for 40 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 36 yards in Chicago's 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Montgomery had just a single yard at the half, but once the Bears were trailing by double digits, the offense started to move the ball better, and he was able to punch in two of his three goal-line carries in to help get Chicago back into the game. He was mostly shut down on the majority of his touches, but a 17-yard run and a 30-yard reception accounted for almost half of his scrimmage yards. For the first time this season, he's put together back-to-back useful fantasy performances, and his recent usage makes him a player can now be considered a RB2.

Walton rushed 12 times for 29 yards and caught three of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-18 win over the Jets.

Walton couldn't get much going on the ground, even against a Jets team that was missing the top four inside linebackers on its depth chart due to injuries. At least it's clear that Walton's now the lead back with Kenyan Drake out of the picture, as Walton got 12 carries to Kalen Ballage's seven. The little fantasy value to be found in Miami lies in the passing game, but Walton will at least be a strong candidate to keep receiving double-digit touches against the Colts in Week 10 and beyond.

McCaffrey carried the ball 24 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Titans. He also added three receptions for 20 yards and another score.

McCaffrey was once again the driving force behind the Panthers' offensive production, accounting for three of the team's four touchdowns. His most explosive play came with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, when he cut through the middle of the field for a 58-yard touchdown. Notably, after the long score, McCaffrey went through concussion protocol and was held out of the remainder of the game due to "an abundance of caution", Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports. While it's not expected this injury will impact his status heading into the team's Week 10 matchup against the Packers, it's a situation worth following throughout the week.
