  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Scores with 55 yards Sunday

    Hunt rushed 11 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

    Isiah Pacheco (knee) was unable to suit up after absorbing a big hit last week, opening the door for Hunt to serve as the Chiefs' primary back against the Bills on Sunday. The 29-year-old Hunt was up to the task, leading his team in rushing yards while collecting his fifth rushing touchdown of the season. Brashard Smith (3-7-0) finished a distant second in backfield touches, as head coach Andy Reid opted to lean on Hunt more instead of continuing a two-back approach in Pacheco's absence. There is a chance the latter will return following the Chiefs' upcoming bye week, but Hunt has been providing enough value in a timeshare to warrant flex consideration against the Broncos in Week 11.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Punches in two scores

    Warren rushed the ball 16 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts. He added two receptions on two targets for minus-2 yards.

    Warren dominated rushing opportunity out of the Pittsburgh backfield, accounting for 16 of 21 attempts by running backs. He was equally inefficient with the chances, with his longest rush of the game going for only eight yards. Warren continues to concede targets to Kenneth Gainwell, though he seemingly strengthened his grip on the goal-line role by punching in a pair of scores from one and two yards, respectively. Warren has had an up-and-down season, but he's generally found a way to turn in productive performances.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Posts 50 total yards, TD in loss

    Montgomery rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of four targets for 10 yards in the Lions' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Montgomery outpaced Jahmyr Gibbs by two carries and was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, doing so via a two-yard run early in the second quarter. The veteran back also short-circuited a drive in the third quarter, however, as he lost a fumble that was recovered by the Vikings at the Lions' 34-yard line and led to a Minnesota touchdown five plays later. Montgomery and Gibbs figure to continue in their usual timeshare when the Lions face the Commanders on the road in Week 10.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Busy day as receiver in loss

    Brown rushed 11 times for 37 yards and brought in eight of 14 targets for 75 yards in the Bengals' 47-42 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    The wild back-and-forth nature of the game limited Brown's rushing opportunities against a vulnerable Bears run defense, but the third-year back made up for it with his work as a receiver. Brown's catch and target totals were both team and season highs, and he did manage to log double-digit carries for the third straight contest. Brown will face the Steelers' inconsistent run defense on the road when the Bengals return from their Week 10 bye on Sunday, Nov. 16.

  • Woody Marks RB | HOU

    Texans' Woody Marks: Quiet in loss to Denver

    Marks carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards and failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos.

    The rookie split the workload with Nick Chubb almost equally, but neither RB was able to gain much yardage. Marks has seen double-digit carries in three straight games, compiling 104 rushing yards on just 3.4 yards per carry and adding a 7-69-1 line on 12 targets, and he's not making much of a case to pass Chubb on the depth chart completely. The Texans saw C.J. Stroud (concussion) leave Sunday's game early, and if he gets replaced under center by Davis Mills in Week 10, it could mean a bigger emphasis on the ground attack against the Jaguars.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Makes little impact in Week 9

    Chubb carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos.

    The veteran split the backfield workload with rookie Woody Marks, and while Chubb led the Texans in rushing, it was still a tepid showing. The former Brown has yet to top 61 rushing yards in a game this season, and while he's gotten double-digit carries in six of eight contests, there have been very few flashes of his pre-injury form. Houston could lean more heavily on its ground game in Week 10 against the Jaguars, however, if C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains sidelined and Davis Mills is under center.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Contained on 12 touches in loss

    Gibbs rushed nine times for 25 yards and brought in all three targets for three yards in the Lions' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Gibbs' final line underscores the stellar job the Vikings defense managed to do containing him all afternoon, and the third-year pro's yardage totals were both his second lowest of the season. Ironically, Gibbs was coming out of the Week 8 bye fresh off his best game of the season (218 total yards and two rushing TDs) versus the Buccaneers in Week 7, and he'll look to return to that caliber of production in a Week 10 road matchup against the Commanders.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Gets 20 touches in Week 9 loss

    Robinson rushed 12 times for 46 yards and caught eight of 10 targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.

    Robinson didn't get many opportunities on the ground as the Falcons tried to play catch-up with a pass-heavy approach, but he was heavily involved as a receiver out of the backfield. Drake London scored all three of Atlanta's touchdowns while leading the team with nine catches and 118 receiving yards, but all other Falcons pass catchers besides London and Robinson combined for only five receptions and 53 yards. Robinson's versatile skill set should ensure he maintains a prominent role in Week 10 against the Colts in Berlin as he tries to snap a two-game touchdown drought.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Hits paydirt again

    Harvey gained five rushing yards on two carries and caught all five of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

    The rookie actually led the Broncos in catches and receiving yards, setting new personal bests in those categories and capping his day with a 27-yard TD from Bo Nix early in the fourth quarter. Harvey has emerged as a big-play threat in Sean Payton's offense, getting into the end zone in three straight games and scoring five touchdowns in total -- two on the ground and three through the air -- despite seeing only 20 touches during that stretch. Harvey will look to keep making an impact as the No. 2 RB behind J.K. Dobbins in Week 10 against the Raiders.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Leading rusher in win

    Dobbins carried the ball 15 times for 61 yards and caught his only target for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

    The veteran back led the Broncos in rushing on the afternoon, but he once again saw rookie RJ Harvey deliver a big play, this time a 27-yard TD reception from Bo Nix early in the fourth quarter that sparked a comeback. Dobbins has gone four straight games without a score of his own, putting a cap on his fantasy value, but he's still produced 695 rushing yards and four touchdowns through his first nine games with Denver. Dobbins should be busy again in Week 10 against the Raiders.
