  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Cracks century mark on 21 touches

    Gibbs rushed 19 times for 71 yards while catching two of three targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans.

    Gibbs was the only position player for either side to crack 100 total yards from scrimmage in an odd game that featured seven combined interceptions. Co-starter David Montgomery struggled on the ground (12-32-1) but was also the beneficiary of Detroit's lone rushing touchdown on the night. Both tailbacks should be considered universal starts in all fantasy formats heading into a soft matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Ten touches in return

    Spears rushed the ball seven times for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards.

    Spears was active for the first time since Week 6, and he returned to record double-digit touches for only the second time in six games on the campaign. His touch total may have been inflated by a brief absence in the second quarter for Tony Pollard, but Spears should work as a change-of-pace option moving forward. Spears also showed encouraging explosiveness, as he notched a pair of double-digit gains in Sunday's loss.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Leads DAL RBs with 12 carries

    Dowdle carried the ball 12 times for 53 yards while catching all three of his targets for as many yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to Philadelphia.

    Dowdle was off to a good start on the ground before the score got out of hand and forced the team to abandon the run in the second half. Ezekiel Elliott (suspension) returned following a one-game absence, but he produced just 22 yards on six carries while losing a fumble. Dowdle should continue to serve as the Cowboys' top RB despite the team being in disarray at the QB position heading into next Monday's tilt against Houston.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Only 13 touches in loss

    Pollard rushed the ball nine times for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards.

    Pollard suffered an apparent lower-body injury in the second quarter that caused him to miss a couple series, and the return of Tyjae Spears also cost Pollard some work. The result was Pollard recording his lowest touch and yardage total since Week 3. He should remain a key part of the Tennessee offense, but he's likely to settle into leading a more evenly split backfield moving forward.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Goes for 100-plus yards and TD

    Conner rushed 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown while corralling all five of his targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets.

    Conner struggled as a rusher outside of a short touchdown Sunday, but he offset that with his biggest game of the season as a receiver. The bruising back was dealing with a finger injury during the practice week, which could have had something to do with rookie Trey Benson (10-62-0) cutting into the starter's workload in the first half against the Jets. The 29-year-old Conner will get an extra week to recover as Arizona enters its bye before resuming action against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Usage ticking up

    Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He added two receptions on two targets for 29 yards.

    Warren earned a season-high 16 touches and outperformed Najee Harris for much of the game. He accounted for three of Pittsburgh's 10 longest gains from scrimmage, highlighted by rushes of 12 and 10 yards as well as a reception that went for 26 yards. The primary downside for Warren's projected role is his lack of work near the goal line, particularly after he lost a crucial fumble in Sunday's winning effort. Even so, his usage continues to tick up, and he should settle into seeing around 12 to 15 touches per game on a consistent basis.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Falls victim to game script

    Hall rushed 10 times for 52 yards and caught all four of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.

    Hall performed well on a per-touch basis Sunday, but the rushing attack was placed on the back burner after the Jets fell behind big in the second half. The speedy tailback remains one of the few bright spots for New York in 2024, providing consistent value for fantasy managers amid the team's struggles through 10 weeks. Hall should remain a strong play against the Colts next Sunday.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Slight usage in defeat

    Johnson lost four yards on one rush and caught a five-yard pass in the Bears' 19-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    In the three games since Chicago's bye week, Johnson has handled nine touches for 28 yards and a touchdown. Unless the running back's role increases, Johnson will be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Had forearm examined briefly

    Barkley rushed 14 times for 66 yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.

    Barkley suffered an early injury to his left forearm, but he didn't miss much time and returned to start the second half Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. The star tailback didn't appear limited by the injury, outside of sporting a bandage on the affected area, and the blowout nature of the Eagles' win may have limited his playing time as well. Barkley has been one of the top performing players in fantasy this season, so managers should feel confident starting him against the Commanders on Thursday Night Football in Week 11.

  • Jordan Mims RB | SF

    Saints' Jordan Mims: Plays third fiddle again Week 10

    Mims recorded two carries for 10 yards and gathered in one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Falcons.

    Mims was once again the Saints' RB2 with Jamaal Williams (groin) sidelined for the second week in a row. The second-year running back still ran behind both starting running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Taysom Hill, as the two logged 17 and four carries, respectively. Mims has now totaled seven carries and three targets while filling in for Williams over the past two weeks. He'll likely have a minimal role if he once again fills in at RB2 during next week's game against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 17.
