  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Sees 24 touches in Week 14 win

    Mixon rushed 21 times for 79 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 46 yards in the Bengals' 34-14 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Mixon saw rookie backfield mate Chase Brown increase his role with 11 touches in his own right, one of which resulted in an impressive 54-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first quarter. Brown certainly passes the eyeball test as the more explosive of the two players, but Mixon continued to be trusted with the bulk of the rushing work and played a key role through the air himself. The veteran rounded out his productive afternoon with a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and he appears to have a clear grasp on the lead role going into a Week 15 home matchup against the Vikings on Saturday afternoon.

  • Jerome Ford RB | WAS

    Browns' Jerome Ford: May have suffered hand injury

    Ford rushed the ball 12 times for 51 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars. He added five receptions on six targets for 31 yards.

    Ford split carries nearly evenly with Kareem Hunt, but he separated himself as a pass catcher. On the ground, most of Ford's production came on a 26-yard gain early in the second quarter. He also has at least five targets in three of his last four games and has topped 30 receiving yards in consecutive contests. Ford should retain a valuable role in the offense moving forward; however, his status will be worth monitoring leading up to a Week 15 matchup against the Bears, as Ford was headed for X-rays on his hand or wrist following the win, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

  • Dalvin Cook RB | DAL

    Jets' Dalvin Cook: Eight yards on eight touches

    Cook rushed seven times for 13 yards and caught his lone target for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.

    The Jets' offense came alive with 30 second-half points after the game was scoreless at halftime, but Cook unsurprisingly didn't play a major part in that success. Breece Hall nursed an ankle injury in practice during the week but ended up handling his usual workload, turning 18 touches into 126 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Cook will likely continue to work in a change-of-pace role behind Hall in Week 15 against the Dolphins.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Subpar outing salvaged by TD

    Kamara recorded 12 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown and three catches (on five targets) for minus-11 yards during Sunday's 28-6 victory against the Panthers.

    On a day in which the Saints mustered just 207 yards of offense, Kamara's output wasn't much of a surprise, with his 45 yards from scrimmage marking his fewest of the season by a large margin (70 yards against the Bears back in Week 9 marked his previous low). He also extended his TD streak to two games, with his nine-yard scamper to the end zone in the first quarter doubling as his sixth score overall. New Orleans didn't have the services of Taysom Hill (foot/hand) on Sunday, so reserve running back Jamaal Williams handled 11 carries for 43 yards. Kamara will look to get back on track against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Colts' Zack Moss: Another quiet day as starter

    Moss rushed 13 times for 28 yards and secured four of eight targets for 28 yards in the Colts' 34-14 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    Moss once again handled a bulk of the Colts' work in the ground game, although the flow of the contest eventually turned firmly toward the pass as far as Indianapolis was concerned. Moss found running room extremely hard to come by despite the favorable on-paper matchup, and the fact 12 of his yards came on one carry underscores how difficult an afternoon it was. Moss did partly make up for the lackluster rushing production with a busy day through the air, but he'll aim to atone in a Week 15 Saturday afternoon home matchup against the inconsistent Steelers run defense.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Rushing touchdown in Week 14 loss

    Robinson rushed 10 times for 34 yards and a touchdown and secured five of seven targets for 54 yards in the Falcons' 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Robinson logged just one more carry than backfield mate Tyler Allgeier, but he was the only one of the two to get into the end zone. The rookie did so on a three-yard run early in the fourth quarter, which served as Robinson's fourth rushing score of the season overall. Robinson has found running room hard to come by in the last two games, however, netting just 87 yards on 28 carries in that span. The rookie does have multiple receptions in three straight contests, and he'll draw a matchup potentially favorable to a resurgence on the ground when the Falcons do battle with the Panthers on the road in Week 15.

  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Panthers' Miles Sanders: Just misses TD on best run all year

    Sanders rushed 10 times for 74 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

    Sanders popped free for a 48-yard run down to the one-yard line but lost a yard on the next play before a sack forced the Panthers to eventually settle for a field goal. His longest run of the season heading into the game was just 15 yards -- and the 48-yard scamper-- helped Sanders set a new season high in rushing yards, but he continued to work behind Chuba Hubbard, who rushed for 87 yards on 23 carries. Given Carolina's offensive struggles as a whole and Sanders' limited role, he'll be tough to trust in Week 15 against the Falcons.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Continues to lead team's offense

    Hubbard rushed 23 times for 87 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

    Hubbard had more than twice as many rushing yards (59) as Bryce Young had passing yards (29) in the first half. Unfortunately for the 24-year-old running back, the negative game script coupled with more touches for Miles Sanders (who finished with 10 carries for 74 yards) limited Hubbard's opportunities after halftime. Hubbard has built up some momentum with at least 92 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Falcons.

  • Dameon Pierce RB | PHI

    Texans' Dameon Pierce: Outplayed by Singletary in loss

    Pierce rushed four times for nine yards and caught his only target for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets.

    Pierce was handily outplayed by Devin Singletary, who rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown. C.J. Stroud has entered concussion protocol after exiting in the fourth quarter, and if the rookie quarterback is unavailable in Week 15 against the Titans, both Pierce and Singletary could see additional volume with Houston likely to lean more on the running game if backup Davis Mills gets the start under center.

  • Texans' Devin Singletary: Scores team's only points in loss

    Singletary rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets.

    Singletary was the only member of Houston's offense that enjoyed a modicum of success, as C.J. Stroud threw for only 91 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion, while Dameon Pierce had just four carries for nine yards. After rushing for 64 yards in the first half, Singletary was fittingly the player that got the Texans on the board, scoring a one-yard rushing touchdown on the final play of the third quarter. Singletary seems to be nudging ahead of Pierce in Houston's backfield, but the entire offense would have a far less rosy outlook if Stroud fails to clear concussion protocol before the team's Week 15 game against the Titans.
