  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Effective in loss

    Hubbard rushed the ball 14 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans. He added five receptions on five targets for 47 yards.

    Miles Sanders saw an increased workload in the loss, but Hubbard's opportunity was largely undisturbed. He accounted for the Panthers' only touchdown on a five-yard run midway through the third quarter, but the majority of the rest of his production came as a pass catcher. That allowed him to rack up his highest yardage total from scrimmage this season. Despite fairly steady opportunity, Hubbard is likely to remain reliant upon receiving work and touchdowns to post significant performances.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Triple-digit scrimmage yards Sunday

    Cook carried the ball 16 times for 43 yards and caught six of seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.

    The catches and receiving yards were career highs for the second-year running back, as Cook reached the century mark in scrimmage yards for the third straight game and the sixth time in 12 contests this season. Buffalo will be on bye next week, but Cook will head into a Week 14 trip to Kansas City having already recorded a 1,000-yard campaign for the first time with 731 rushing yards and 308 receiving yards. A lack of touchdowns -- he has only three, one on the ground and two through the air -- is all that's keeping the 2022 second-round pick from elite status at his position.

  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Panthers' Miles Sanders: Workload continues to rise

    Sanders rushed the ball 15 times for 28 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

    Sanders' stat line was hardly notable, though he saw his highest carry total since Week 1. He had a near exact even split with Chuba Hubbard, though it remains to be seen if Sanders' inefficiency will cost him opportunity moving forward. Overall, he has 50 or fewer rushing yards in all but one game this season, and given the state of the Panthers' offense, touchdowns will be hard to come by.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Finds end zone twice

    Henry rushed the ball 18 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers. He added one reception on two targets for zero yards.

    It wasn't quite a vintage performance from Henry, but he nonetheless powered the Titans' offense. He tallied long gains of 18 and 15 yards and also found the end zone from one and 10 yards away. It was a needed bounce-back effort for Henry, as he entered Sunday's contest with only 238 rushing yards across his last four games combined. It was also his first multi-touchdown performance of the season, bringing his total to six on the campaign.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Broncos' Samaje Perine: Scores first TD in 2023

    Perine carried the ball seven times for 55 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.

    Javonte Williams left the game briefly on the Broncos' opening drive to be checked out for a neck injury, and Perine took advantage by scoring his first TD of the season on a three-yard plunge. Williams was back in on the next possession, but Perine continued to make an impact when he had the ball in his hands, with three of his subsequent touches going for more than 10 yards. It's been a disappointing first season in Denver for the 28-year-old back, who got into the end zone six times with the Bengals in 2022, but he's topped 60 scrimmage yards in back-to-back contests and has reclaimed the No. 2 RB role from rookie Jaleel McLaughlin.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Steps back against Cincy

    Warren rushed the ball 13 times for 49 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals. He added three receptions on three targets for 13 yards.

    Warren lost a fumble early in the game, though he wasn't benched as a result. He nearly matched Najee Harris in workload on the ground and was more involved as pass catcher, though unlike how things have panned out much of the season, Harris bested him in terms of efficiency. Despite the average performance, the Steelers have been committed to splitting the backfield between Harris and Warren, and that's likely to be the case once again in Week 13 against Arizona.

  • Broncos' Javonte Williams: Held in check by Browns

    Williams carried the ball 18 times for 65 yards and caught three of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.

    The third-year back saw more than 20 touches for the third time in the last four games, but Williams wasn't able to do much with the volume. He also missed a chance to pad his production when Samaje Perine vultured a three-yard TD run in the first quarter while Williams was briefly sidelined with a neck issue, but per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post, he returned for the next drive. The six targets tied his season high, and he continues to provide a solid PPR floor by catching multiple passes in five straight games and nine of 10 this season. Williams will try to take advantage of a more generous opponent in Week 13 when the Broncos travel to Houston.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Leads Pittsburgh backfield

    Harris rushed 15 times for 99 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals.

    Harris led the Pittsburgh backfield in terms of both production and opportunity, something of a surprise given Jaylen Warren's recent performances. However, Harris looked explosive in his own right Sunday, ripping off long gains of 22, 20 and 13 yards. He also scored his fourth touchdown of the season, each of which has come in his last six games. Pittsburgh has shown a commitment to giving both Warren and Harris significant run, and that shouldn't be projected to change heading into a Week 13 matchup against Arizona.

  • Royce Freeman RB | CHI

    Rams' Royce Freeman: Productive despite Williams' return

    Freeman rushed 13 times for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 37-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Kyren Williams had a stellar return from injured reserve with 204 total yards and two receiving touchdowns, but Freeman still found a way to make an impact of his own on an afternoon during which the game script became increasingly favorable to the ground attack. Freeman's 23-yard scoring run with 8:19 remaining was his second of the season and also helped put him over the 70-yard mark for the second straight game. In what appears to be a secure No. 2 role for the time being, Freeman isn't likely to see as many touches each week as he did Sunday, but he retains the ability to be productive with extended opportunity.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Big production in losing effort

    Jacobs took 20 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown while catching four of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Jacobs put his team up 14-0 over the visiting Chiefs when he ripped off a 63-yard run in the opening moments of the second quarter for his longest touchdown this season. The Raiders' offense struggled to do much the rest of the way en route to its seventh loss, but the team's star back still finished with a strong fantasy line for managers Sunday. After a slow start to the year following a contract dispute, Jacobs' big rushing day brings his season totals up to 220/771/6 as Las Vegas enters its bye. Jacobs and the Raiders will resume play in Week 14 against Minnesota on Dec. 10.
