  • Broncos' Javonte Williams: Held to 70 total yards

    Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 46 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans. He added three catches on three targets for 24 yards.

    Williams maintained the clear lead-back role, though he still fell short of 20 touches for the second time in his last five games. He was inefficient with his opportunity and was limited to under four yards per carry for the fifth consecutive contest. While it's positive that Williams has multiple catches in every game in that span, he's shown to be an unexplosive rusher in a mediocre offense, making him difficult to trust on a weekly basis.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Eclipses 1,000 rushing yards

    McCaffrey took 17 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown while catching three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 42-19 win over Philadelphia.

    Fellow superstar Deebo Samuel stole the show with three combined touchdowns Sunday, but McCaffrey still provided stellar results for fantasy managers against the Eagles. The eight-year pro reached 1,000 rushing yards for the third time in his career while notching his 12th rushing touchdown in as many games this season. His rushing numbers alone would constitute a great fantasy campaign, but the MVP candidate has also produced a 51/429/5 line as a receiver. McCaffrey will look to bolster his bid for the award against the Seahawks next Sunday, which will be a rematch from Week 12 when he recorded 114 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Eagles' D'Andre Swift: Injured late in lopsided loss

    Swift (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the final minutes of Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Swift went into the blue medical tent after taking a big hit. Shortly afterward, he made his way to the locker room. Clarification wasn't immediately provided regarding the nature of Swift's injury, which he suffered late in the fourth quarter. Swift finished the loss with just six carries for 13 yards and two catches (on six targets) for seven yards.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Two scores in return to Pittsburgh

    Conner rushed the ball 25 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.

    Conner topped 20 carries for the second time this season and for the first time since Week 2, likely in part due to his return to Pittsburgh and also because Emari Demercado (neck) was forced to exit the game. Regardless, he turned in a strong effort, highlighted by a long gain of 29 yards as well as touchdowns of one and nine yards. Conner had failed to top 73 rushing yards in three previous games since returning from a knee injury and will now head into a bye before facing a stout San Francisco defense in Week 15.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Could have chance as lead back

    Spears rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts. He added four receptions on six targets for 13 yards.

    Spears played his typical complimentary role for much of the contest, as 13 of his 20 touches came after Derrick Henry (head) was forced to exit. He made a positive impact on the game, as he picked up 20 yards on the Titans' game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter and also accounted for 27 yards on the team's overtime drive that led to a field goal. Spears has been efficient when given opportunity this season, and he could be in line for the lead-back role in Tennessee's Week 14 matchup against Miami if Henry is unable to suit up.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: May miss time with ankle injury

    Stevenson may be in line to miss time due to the ankle injury that he sustained during Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Stevenson remained on the turf after coughing up a fumble on the Patriots' second drive of the game. He was favoring his right leg as he made his way to the locker room, and the Patriots eventually termed it an ankle injury, which didn't allow him to return. Stevenson had nine carries for 39 yards and one catch for no yards when he departed, and while X-rays returned negative, an upcoming MRI is expected to reveal a sprain, per Howe. If Stevenson ends up missing Thursday's contest at Pittsburgh, New England will turn over its backfield to Ezekiel Elliott, who tallied 21 touches for 92 yards from scrimmage Sunday.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Finds end zone in Week 13 win

    Montgomery rushed 18 times for 56 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for minus-1 yard in the Lions' 33-28 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Montgomery opened the scoring on the afternoon with a two-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter, but the rest of his afternoon was largely a struggle. The workhorse back has now scored in four consecutive contests, and his carry count Sunday was his highest since Week 5. Montgomery now gets a second crack at his old Bears teammates in a Week 14 road divisional clash.

  • Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Elevated role after Robinson's exit

    Gibson rushed 10 times for 35 yards and brought in four of five targets for 37 yards in the Commanders' 45-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Gibson saw expanded opportunity with Brian Robinson exiting the game with a hamstring injury, a development that led to the former's highest carry count of the season. Gibson also retained his usual pass-catching role in the blowout loss, and if the upcoming Week 14 bye doesn't afford Robinson enough recovery time, Gibson could serve as the lead back in a Week 15 road matchup against the Rams.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Colts' Zack Moss: Stalled by Titans

    Moss rushed the ball 19 times for 51 yards in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Titans. He added two receptions on three targets for six yards.

    Moss took over the lead-back role in the absence of Jonathan Taylor (thumb) and dominated opportunity, as no other running back saw a carry in the game. However, he disappointed with those chances, averaging only 2.7 yards per play and posting a game-long run of just five yards. Positively, Moss will retain a significant workload for the Colts' friendlier Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Doesn't do much with 19 touches

    Hall (hamstring) rushed 13 times for 16 yards and caught six of eight targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.

    With defenses stacking the box and the offensive line failing to open up holes, Hall has been bottled up on the ground over the past two months. Since rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown against the Broncos in Week 5, Hall has just 198 rushing yards on 83 carries (2.4 YPC) and one rushing touchdown. Hall has made up for his struggles on the ground with contributions as a pass catcher over that seven-game span, catching 36 of 44 targets for 290 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't seem bothered by the hamstring injury that limited his practice participation leading up to Sunday's loss, and Hall hasn't had fewer than 14 touches in a game since Week 4, so he should continue to see plenty of volume in Week 14 against the Texans.
