Kareem Hunt RB | KC
Browns' Kareem Hunt: Touchdown streak ends
Hunt rushed the ball 12 times for 36 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.
Hunt saw an exactly even split in carries with Jerome Ford and was the more productive of the duo on a yards-per-carry basis. However, Hunt was on the sideline for the Browns' only touchdown of the game, which ended his five-game touchdown streak. Overall, Hunt has fewer than 50 rushing yards in all but one game this season, so he's reliant upon finding the end zone to deliver fantasy-relevant stat lines.

Najee Harris RB | LAC
Steelers' Najee Harris: Finds little rushing room
Harris rushed the ball 12 times for 35 yards in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns. He added one reception for one yard.
Harris led the Pittsburgh backfield in touches, narrowly seeing more opportunities than Jaylen Warren. However, Harris couldn't find much room to operate, as he was held below 50 rushing yards for the third time in his last eight games. Harris remains a safe option from a volume perspective, but his fantasy value largely comes down to his ability to find the end zone.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Could miss time with oblique strain
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said after Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams that Walker suffered a "legit" oblique strain during the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Walker is in danger of missing additional game action after exiting the Week 11 loss, especially with the Seahawks facing a short week of prep time leading up to Thursday's home game against the 49ers. Zach Charbonnet took on the majority of the running back reps after Walker's exit Sunday, but DeeJay Dallas could also see an uptick in opportunities for the duration of Walker's absence.

Roschon Johnson RB | CHI
Bears' Roschon Johnson: Six carries as Foreman exits early
Johnson rushed six times for 30 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Lions.
Johnson had as many carries as D'Onta Foreman (ankle), who exited in the third quarter, but Khalil Herbert led the Bears with 16 rushing attempts after missing the previous five games due to a high-ankle sprain. Herbert had just 35 rushing yards, and between Herbert's inefficiency and the uncertainty over Foreman's availability, Johnson has a chance to see a larger workload in Week 12 against the Packers.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Highly efficient outing Sunday
Hubbard rushed 10 times for 57 yards and brought in both targets for eight yards in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Hubbard logged one less carry than backfield mate Miles Sanders, who saw a notable resurgence in rushing work Sunday, but the former outgained his teammate by seven yards on the ground. Hubbard has seen double-digit rush attempts in four of the last five games, falling just one short of doing so in Week 10 as well. Therefore, despite Sanders' reintegration into the ground attack, Hubbard should retain a significant role in a Week 12 road battle against the Titans.

Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET
Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Extends TD streak to four games
Gibbs rushed eight times for 36 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Bears.
Gibbs got the Lions on the board in the second quarter with a two-yard rushing touchdown. That was the fifth rushing touchdown in the last four games for the 2023 first-round pick after Gibbs opened his career with a four-game touchdown drought. Gibbs will look to extend his touchdown streak to five games on Thanksgiving against the Packers as part of Detroit's one-two punch in the backfield alongside David Montgomery.

Miles Sanders RB | DAL
Panthers' Miles Sanders: Reintegrated into ground attack
Sanders rushed 11 times for 50 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Panthers' 33-10 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Sanders logged one more carry than backfield mate Chuba Hubbard, shouldering a rushing workload that qualified as his highest since Week 4 in the process. Sanders had seen just two carries in two of the previous three games, making his sudden surge in touches all the more noteworthy. While Sanders performed reasonably well with the opportunity, Hubbard averaged an even more efficient 5.7 yards per carry on his 10 attempts, so what the division of labor between the two will be in a Week 12 road matchup against the Titans is anyone's guess.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Titans' Derrick Henry: Held to 44 total yards
Henry rushed the ball 10 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars. He added one reception for six yards.
The Titans had the ball for just over 23 minutes and ran only 38 offensive plays in the blowout loss. That limited the potential for their skill-position players to produce, and Henry's line was illustrative of that. Positively, he still led Tennessee's backfield in carries and yards. On the other hand, Henry has only 21 carries for 62 yards combined across his last two games.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Big workload in Week 11 win
Mostert rushed 22 times for 86 yards and brought in one of two targets for seven yards in the Dolphins' 20-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Mostert took on what was likely a higher workload than expected when De'Von Achane exited in the first quarter with a knee injury. The combination of the rookie's absence beginning in the second quarter, the inactive status of Jeff Wilson and a favorable game script conspired to afford Mostert his highest workload of the season. Mostert also logged his first reception since Week 7, but with head coach Mike McDaniel saying after the game Achane's exit was merely precautionary after he landed on his recently injured knee, Mostert could be back to a more abbreviated touch count in a Week 12 road matchup against the Jets on Friday afternoon.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Top playmaker in Pittsburgh
Warren rushed the ball nine times for 129 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns. He added three receptions for 13 yards.
Warren was the lone bright spot of the Pittsburgh offense, as he accounted for the team's only touchdown with a 74-yard rush early in the second half. He had other big gains of 11, nine and eight yards, and on the rare occasion the Steelers were able to move the ball, Warren was responsible. He's now topped 100 yards in consecutive games and should continue to get plenty of opportunity while working alongside Najee Harris.
