Martin's ankle injury doesn't appear too serious, Matt Schneidman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Raiders didn't announce the injury during Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals, instead turning to Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington without any explanation until after the game. Martin finished with 10 carries for 52 yards and one catch for six yards, getting all his work before halftime. He stayed on the sideline throughout the second half and reportedly was jumping around with his coaches and teammates after the Raiders pulled off the upset. Of course, the initial optimism doesn't necessarily mean Martin will be ready for practice when the team starts to prepare for a difficult Week 12 contest in Baltimore.

Kamara rushed 13 times for 71 yards and hauled in his lone target for a 37-yard touchdown in Sunday's 48-7 win over Philadelphia.

Kamara appeared to be left out of the Saints' touchdown fest until Drew Brees found him down the sideline with a step on his man en route to a 45-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. The game marks the first time in five weeks the 23-year-old didn't score a rushing touchdown and also the first time in three weeks he failed to score multiple touchdowns. He'll attempt to start those streaks up again with a tasty Thanksgiving matchup at home against Atlanta, whom he torched for 190 total yards earlier this season.

Freeman carried seven times for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-22 win over the Chargers.

Freeman received his first offensive touches since Week 7, and although he averaged just 3.3 yards per carry, he was able to score on a 3-yard burst into the end zone in the third quarter. He received seven fewer touches than Phillip Lindsay, who generated 106 scrimmage yards and a pair of touchdowns. While Freeman will be in the mix for carries and red-zone touches, Lindsay still owns the larger role in this backfield and should continue as such next Sunday against the Steelers.

Gordon carried 18 times for 69 yards and added six catches for an additional 87 yards during Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Broncos.

Gordon tied his second-highest number of carries in any game this season, but he managed just 3.8 yards per tote. He offset that lack of efficiency on the ground with another excellent day catching the ball out of the backfield, including a 32-yard long gain. Gordon has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in six straight games and has at least four catches in four of those. He'll look to continue his outstanding run of form next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Martin injured his ankle during the first half of Sunday's 23-21 win over the Cardinals, Matt Schneidman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

This explains why Martin didn't get any touches in the second half after taking 10 carries for 52 yards (and one catch for six yards) through the first two quarters. Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington split work after halftime, with each of the three Oakland running backs ultimately landing between 10 and 12 carries. The team won't have a clear replacement for Martin's power-running role if the 29-year-old isn't available for a Week 12 game in Baltimore.

Zenner didn't touch the ball during Sunday's 20-19 win over the Panthers.

Zenner was contained to special teams in this one, but it's possible he could be needed on offense more often going forward if Kerryon Johnson's knee injury forces the rookie to miss time. However, Zenner still wouldn't be an advisable fantasy option in Week 12 against the Bears' stout defense.

Mixon ran for 14 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and added three catches for 38 yards during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Baltimore.

Mixon tied the game up early in the second quarter when he followed his fullback and pushed into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown. The Ravens beat up the Bengals' ground game as Andy Dalton's 29 rushing yards ended up leading the team. Mixon's weak outing snapped a four-game span in which he averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry thrice. Even with the return of Giovani Bernard, Mixon has a stranglehold on carries in Cincinnati and has scored in four of his last six games. He'll be counted on next Sunday against a Browns defense that is tough against the pass but gives up 4.7 yards per carry.

Mack ran for 61 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and added an 8-yard catch during Sunday's 38-10 win over the Titans.

Mack gave the Colts the early lead late in the first quarter, chugging through the line on his way to a 1-yard score. Mack hasn't been quite the same player since after the bye, averaging just 3.2 yards per run as compared to the other-worldly 6.2 yards he averaged in three games prior to the bye. Still, the second-year back is the linchpin in a more balanced Indianapolis attack, averaging 18 touches per game over his last five contests and scoring five times in that span. A weak Miami run defense comes to town next Sunday, giving up 4.8 yards per carry.

Henry carried the ball nine times for 46 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Colts. He was not targeted in the passing game.

The Titans fell behind early in this game, limiting Henry's potential to make an impact. Over half of his yards came on the final drive of the game, after the final outcome was clearly decided. Though Henry has shown a nose for the end zone -- he has four touchdowns on the season -- his lack of involvement in the passing game makes him a highly volatile option on a weekly basis due to his dependence on game script and goal-line opportunity.

Edwards ran for 115 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's 24-21 win over Cincinnati. He added a two-point conversion on the day.

Edwards tied the game up late in the third quarter with a weaving inside run for an 11-yard score. He did it again on the next play for the two-point conversion. The undrafted rookie out of Rutgers had a solid 42-yard outing in Week 6, but nobody could have been expecting this caliber of performance. How the the workload between him and Alex Collins is distributed moving forward will be something to monitor, considering the latter managed just seven carries Sunday, only one of which came in the second half. Edwards has logged just 32 carries this season, but his 5.6 yards per tote are a full two yards more than Collins' 3.6 figure. A favorable matchup awaits in Week 12 against a Raiders run defense giving up 4.8 yards per carry.
