Gordon carried 20 times for 80 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 54-24 victory over the Bills. He caught neither of his two targets, though.

After splitting carries with Austin Ekeler 16 to 10 in last week's loss to the Jaguars, this time Gordon outpaced his counterpart 20 to six. Along the way, he took advantage of a Bills run defense that's been repeatedly gashed in recent weeks to find paydirt for his fourth time in the past six games. However, outside of a couple long runs -- including his 10-yard touchdown scamper -- Gordon was rather inefficient on a per-touch basis. In fact, the Wisconsin product has only topped 4.0 yards per carry in three of 10 games this season.

Martin rushed 19 times for 38 yards and brought in two of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Dolphins.

Despite being given nearly 100 percent of the rushing touches once again, Martin's multi-week frustrations on the ground continued. He averaged under 3.0 yards per carry for the second straight week and fourth time in the last five contests overall. To make matters worse, the former Pro Bowler gained 13 of his 38 yards on one carry, leaving him with an average of 1.4 yards on his other 18 totes. Despite the difficult stretch Martin finds himself in, it isn't exactly clear if Jacquizz Rodgers, Charles Sims or Peyton Barber could do appreciably better behind an offensive line that's been consistently powerless to stop rushers from invading the backfield at the snap. Martin will look to bust out of his slump against the Falcons in Week 12.

Abdullah rushed for 22 yards on 11 carries and snagged two passes for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over Chicago.

Abdullah slipped out into the flat for a two-yard touchdown catch right before halftime to give Detroit the lead. Sunday was Abdullah's third straight game with a touchdown after just one score in his first seven contests. He's been effective in the red zone during Detroit's three-game winning streak but hasn't been much of a yard producer. His lone 100-yard game this season, ironically enough, was against the typically dominant Minnesota defense. He'll get a chance to go two for two next week against the Vikings.

Perine rushed 23 times for 117 yards and a touchdown while adding a nine-yard catch on two targets in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Saints.

Fellow running back Chris Thompson broke his fibula in this one, joining Rob Kelley (ankle, knee) on the list of sidelined Washington running backs. Those two injuries should leave Perine with all the touches he can handle moving forward, especially since he took advantage of an expanded role in this one with career-highs in carries and rushing yards to go with his first career rushing touchdown. The rookie fourth-rounder out of Oklahoma may yet live up to the preseason hype that surrounded him.

McFadden is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

After playing just one snap in the first game during Ezekiel Elliott's six-week suspension, McFadden finds himself relegated to the inactive list, where he's resided for most of the season. The Cowboys would turn to fullback Keith Smith as an emergency backup tailback if Alfred Morris or Rod Smith were to suffer an injury.

Kamara rushed eight times for 42 yards and caught six of nine targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win against Washington. He also ran in a successful two-point conversion.

Kamara made an incredible touchdown catch with just over a minute left and his team down 31-23, juggling the ball around the 10-yard line before gaining control and sneaking through a group of defenders to get into the end zone. He immediately backed up that 18-yard score with a successful run for the game-tying two-point conversion. While Kamara did most of his work as a receiver, fellow running back Mark Ingram found tremendous success on the ground with 134 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Both members of New Orleans' backfield are coexisting beautifully, and each can beat you in a variety of ways.

Williams carried 18 times for 57 yards and caught four of six targets for an additional 38 yards during Sunday's 23-0 loss to the Ravens.

Williams received a hefty workload for the second straight week, responding with a new career high in scrimmage yards. Brett Hundley struggled under center again, so Williams saw limited looks in the opponent's end of the field, but his usage allowed him to produce a serviceable fantasy total. The rookie could see a reduction in snap count next week against the Steelers if Ty Montgomery (ribs) is able to suit up, though he figures to retain a sizable share of the backfield touches for the time being.

It's believed that Foreman suffered a torn left Achilles in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Foreman was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of the contest after carrying 10 times for 65 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches for 15 yards. Assuming the serious nature of his injury is confirmed Monday, the Texans will likely need to add depth behind starting running back Lamar Miller, given that Alfred Blue is dealing with a hamstring issue and was inactive Sunday.

Foreman has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to an ankle injury.

Foreman was carted off the field at the conclusion of a 34-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, according to Brian Smith of the Houston Chronicle. Expect the Texans to touch on Foreman's health afterward, whether it's during a media session with head coach Bill O'Brien or otherwise. The Texans backfield could soon be down to Lamar Miller, Jordan Todman and Alfred Blue, the latter of whom was inactive Sunday.

Gillislee is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Gillislee will be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week, which sets the stage for Dion Lewis, Rex Burkhead and James White to head the Patriots' backfield Sunday. Future game plans may lead to Gillislee's power running skills being needed in subsequent weeks, but for now at least, he's the odd man out.
