Fowler recorded a one-yard run on his lone touch during Sunday's 24-20 win over the Bengals.

DeMarco Murray scored three touchdowns in goal-to-go situations, demonstrating why Fowler isn't called upon much in short-yardage situations. The fullback has just two touches this season.

Henry rushed 11 times for 52 yards and failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Bengals.

Henry actually gained 10 more rushing yards than DeMarco Murray on three fewer carries, but he was held out of the end zone while Murray scored twice on the ground and once through the air, all from inside the 10-yard line. While the two running backs are having similar seasons running the ball, Henry has hauled in just six catches all season while Murray has almost four times that total with 23. Murray obviously got the majority of the goal-line work in this one, but Henry's powerful running style also translates well to that part of the field.

Foreman had seven carries for 18 yards in Sunday's 33-7 loss to the Rams.

This game got out of hand in the second half, so the running game became an afterthought when the Texans fell behind by multiple scores. That led to different backfield personnel as Alfred Blue (13 snaps) nearly matched that of Foreman (16). With Houston's offense struggling to score in the post-Deshaun Watson portion of the season, the ground attack should be emphasized, but it can't play from behind as it did Sunday.

Rodgers rushed three times for 12 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.

The final stat line looks decidedly insignificant on the surface, but the modest three carries that Rodgers saw over six snaps actually represented a notable upgrade over his recent level of involvement. Rodgers had logged a combined two rushing touches over the prior three contests, making him the forgotten man in the backfield over that span. Even under the circumstances of a sizable second-half deficit Week 9, during which Doug Martin was given an early hook, it was Peyton Barber, not Rodgers, who was handed the reins of the rushing attack. However, Rodgers was at least part of the action Sunday, resurrecting the possibility that he could begin seeing regular touches again in a complementary role.

Cunningham caught three passes for 32 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Packers.

On Cunningham's biggest play of the day, a 23-yard reception, he tried to extend the ball into the end zone, but replay determined that he lost control of the ball, resulting in a lost fumble and a touchback. Although he's rushed three times for four yards over the last three games, he's also caught seven passes for 75 yards during that span, making him a dart-throw flex option in PPR leagues.

Breida carried nine times for 55 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's game against the Giants. He also caught one of two targets for an additional three yards in the 31-21 win.

Quiet for much of the afternoon, Breida put the game away with a 33-yard touchdown scamper midway through the third quarter. He was limited to 19 scrimmage yards on three touches last week, but the team leaned more heavily on the running game this time, enjoying a lead for the majority of the contest. Breida continues to play second fiddle to Carlos Hyde, and his role will remain dependent on game flow after the team returns from its upcoming bye week.

Conner ran once for 12 yards in Pittsburgh's 20-17 win over Indianapolis Sunday.

The rookie did not touch the ball until late in the game and, although he looked good scampering for 12 yards, he had a noticeable limp as he made his way to the sideline. The team has not given any update, but he did not have another carry for the remainder of the contest.

Sims rushed three times for 20 yards and brought in three of four targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.

Sims' rushing total, modest as it was, checked in second on the team behind Doug Martin's. He also hit paydirt for the first time this season when he brought in a six-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter, giving the Buccaneers some much-needed breathing room. While the running game has often been dominated by Martin since his return from suspension, Sims has managed to retain a mostly consistent role in the passing game the majority of weeks. However, he remains a fantasy consideration in only the deepest of PPR formats.

Martin rushed 20 times for 51 yards and failed to bring in either of his targets in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.

After logging a season-low eight rushes in the Week 9 loss to the Saints, Martin was back to a much more normal workload Sunday. However, he found running room hard to come by, leading to his third game with less than 3.0 yards per carry over the last four contests. Martin appears to be running with good burst, so a substantial part of his struggles could likely be laid at the feet of his offensive line. He'll have a chance to get his numbers up against the Dolphins in a Week 11 road tilt.

Kamara carried 12 times for 106 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 47-10 win over the Bills. He also caught all five of his targets for 32 yards.

Kamara received the heftiest rushing workload of his young career and responded by eclipsing 100 yards on the ground for the first time. He polished off his day with a five-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, giving him three straight games with a rushing score. Kamara's emergence has coincided with the team's surge in offensive production, which has heavily featured the ground game since the opening weeks of the season. With a sizable role on perhaps the most prolific offense in the NFL at the moment, the rookie's fantasy value continues to climb heading into next week's matchup with the Redskins.
