Ekeler carried the ball three times for 19 yards in the 20-6 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He did not record a target.

Only five players actually received a target as Philip Rivers efficiently dissected a mundane Raiders defense all afternoon. Ekeler actually had a touchdown called back on a holding penalty, which would have aided an otherwise disappointing fantasy performance, but he remains a comfortable change-of-pace option behind starter Melvin Gordon.

Dayes was promoted to the 49ers' active roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dayes was elevated just ahead of Monday's tilt against the Giants. He'll figure to take the spot of Raheem Mostert (forearm), who was moved to IR last week. Look for Dayes to operate as the No. 3 option at running back behind Matt Breida and Alfred Morris.

Patterson was on the field for 12 of the Patriots' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Titans.

The versatile wideout's profile in the Patriots offense was predictably reduced Week 10 due to the return to action of running back Sony Michel (knee). Patterson did end up with four carries for 11 yards Sunday, but as long as Michel is healthy enough to head the New England backfield, Patterson will be largely off the fantasy radar in his complementary WR/RB role.

Hines had three carries for three yards and three receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.

Hines is Indy's pass-catching back, but he'd been productive on the ground the past two weeks with 125 yards rushing and a 7.8 YPC. However, the Colts struggled with the run Sunday as Marlon Mack averaged just 2.4 yards per carry. Hines played 20 snaps on offense as he's the clear No. 2 running back ahead of Jordan Wilkins, who played just five snaps on offense.

Wilkins had one carry for 53 yards in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He played just five snaps on offense.

His 53-yard gain was Indy's longest rushing play of the season. However, he otherwise didn't have much of a role in the offense as he's a distant third-string option after Marlon Mack (33 snaps) and Nyheim Hines (20 snaps).

Williams had three carries for three yards in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins.

Fellow running back Aaron Jones had his best game of the season Sunday, which resulted in Williams playing only a bit role. Jones has tallied 41 carries to Williams' 14 since the Packers' Week 7 bye, so it's clear who the man in the Packers backfield is these days. The two backs had been playing relatively even roles earlier in the season, but consider Jones the clear starter at this point, with Williams filling a complementary role.

Drake took eight carries for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Packers.

Drake played 34 of 68 snaps (50 percent) on offense, marking the ninth straight week in which his snap share landed between 45 and 66 percent. There's little reason to expect a change in roles after a Week 11 bye, considering Frank Gore rumbled for 90 yards on 13 carries during Sunday's ugly loss. Drake did miss some time in the second quarter with a shoulder injury, but his ability to rejoin the contest suggests he should be in decent shape for Week 12 at Indianapolis after the bye.

Washington gained 47 yards on 11 carries in Sunday's win against the Bengals.

Washington, who signed with the Saints in September, had been playing exclusively on special teams prior to Sunday, and all of his touches in Cincinnati came in the fourth quarter after the Saints had built a huge lead. Washington is third on the team's running back depth chart, but absent an injury to Mark Ingram or Alvin Kamara, he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

Clement played just 18 of 62 snaps (29 percent) on offense in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Dallas, taking five carries for 13 yards and catching one of two targets for a loss of five yards, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The snap split was pretty even between Clement, Wendell Smallwood (21) and Josh Adams (19), but only the latter had any success turning his playing time into rushing production. The undrafted Adams took seven carries for 47 yards, while Smallwood caught three passes for 30 yards and added two totes for four yards. Clement hasn't given the Eagles any reason to increase his role ahead of a Week 11 road matchup with the stingy New Orleans run defense.

Elliott ran the ball 19 times for 151 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Eagles. He added 36 yards and another score on six receptions.

Elliott tied his season high of 7.9 yards per carry, which is even more impressive considering he was bottled up for just four yards on his first three carries Sunday. The star back had been slumping to the tune of 94 total rushing yards over his last two games, so his fantasy owners certainly welcomed this offensive explosion. This was also the first multi-touchdown performance of the year for Elliott, a feat he accomplished three times by this point in 2017. While his production is down compared to previous dominant years, the 23-year-old remains a fantasy RB1 heading into Week 11's matchup with the Falcons.
