Rams running back Benny Cunningham overcame a first-half ankle injury to lead St. Louis in rushing Week 10 at Indianapolis. Though, most of Cunningham's yards came on one run very late in the game.

Cunningham totaled a team-high 72 rushing yards on seven carries. Cunningham got most of his yards on a 56-yard carry with 3:29 remaining and might have had a 95-yard touchdown run, but he couldn't beat the last defender down the sideline.

Cunningham had one catch for 18 yards in the 38-8 win. The 72 rushing yards were a career-high for the rookie. The Rams are on a bye Week 11 before returning to action Week 12 vs. Chicago.

One week after a breakout performance, Titans running back Chris Johnson was back to falling short of expectations in Week 10 against the Jaguars.

Johnson rushed for just 30 yards on 12 carries against the Jaguars, his worst rushing average in four games. He had a solid impact in the passing game, hauling in five passes for 43 yards, but was held out of the end zone. He also lost a fumble, his first of the season, in a 29-27 loss.

Johnson was hoping to build off last week's momentum, but couldn't get anything going. He will try to get back on track in Week 11, when the Titans face the Colts. 

Cardinals WR Brittan Golden, QB Ryan Lindley, RB Ryan Williams, LB Dontay Moch, G Earl Watford, TE Kory Sperry and DE Ronald Talley are inactive Week 10 against the Texans.

Golden was the only player listed on the team's injury report. He's dealing with a hamstring issue. 

Broncos QB Zac Dysert, RB Ronnie Hillman, CB Champ Bailey, S Duke Ihenacho, C J.D. Walton, G Chris Kuper and DT Sylvester Williams are inactive Week 10 against the Chargers.

Both Bailey and Ihenacho appeared on the team's injury report. Bailey was ruled out Friday. Ihenacho was questionable with an ankle injury. 

Raiders running back Darren McFadden, who was ruled out earlier in the week because of a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 9, is officially inactive for Week 10 at the Giants. Rashad Jennings is expected to carry the load in his absence.

McFadden's status for Week 11 at the Texans is unknown at this point.

The Eagles have listed the following players as inactive for Sunday's contest against the Packers in Week 10: quarterback Michael Vick, cornerback Bradley Fletcher, running back Matthew Tucker, linebacker Jake Knott, tackle Matt Tobin, tackle Dennis Kelly and wide receiver B.J. Cunningham.

Colts running back Trent Richardson (ankle) is active for Week 10 against the Rams, despite being limited during the week of practice. Richardson will get the start despite dealing with the injury.

Cardinals running back Andre Ellington is likely to lose his starting role in Week 10 against the Texans, with Rashard Mendenhall expected to return to the lineup.

Despite that, coach Bruce Arians told the team's official website he wants to get Ellington 20 touches in the game -- he had 17 in the team's most recent game against the Falcons, during which he racked up 162 all-purpose yards. 

Cardinals running back Andre Ellington returns from his bye with chance for a big game in Week 10 against the Texans.

Rashard Mendenhall (toe) is expected to return this week, but coach Bruce Arians said he still wants Ellington to get about 20 touches. That would be great because every time Ellington has at least 11 touches this season he has scored at least eight Fantasy points in a standard league, which has happened three times.

In Week 8 against Atlanta, with Mendenhall out, Ellington had 15 carries for 154 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 8 yards. Mendenhall will return this week, but it's clear the Cardinals know they have a special talent in Ellington.

The matchup against Houston is good, not great. The Texans have allowed seven running backs to score at least eight Fantasy points with six touchdowns.

But since Ellington will get the potential workload he deserves, Fantasy owners can buy into him as a No. 2 running back or flex option. We hope he delivers, and we hope Arians sticks to his word by giving him close to 20 touches.

Darren McFadden will be inactive Sunday against the Giants. The oft-injured Raiders running back has been ruled out with a hamstring problem that forced him out of the Week 9 loss to Philadelphia.
