Mitchell rushed eight times for 23 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Jaguars.

Mitchell maintained a small role on offense even with star wideout and pseudo-RB2 Deebo Samuel (shoulder) returning to the lineup Sunday. It is worth noting that seven of Mitchell's eight carries came in garbage time with the 49ers leading by more than four touchdowns. Had the game been closer, the 49ers' official No. 2 back would likely have been limited to the one carry he received in the second quarter of the lopsided victory. Mitchell will find it tough to generate fantasy value in such a limited role on offense against Tampa Bay next Sunday.

Gaskin signed with the Vikings' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gaskin has spent most of the season thus far with Minnesota, bouncing between the team's 53-man roster and practice squad when he wasn't a free agent. After a short stint with the Rams, the 26-year-old is now back with the Vikings after Alexander Mattison suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Saints and Cam Akers sustained a season-ending Achilles injury the previous week.

The Dolphins announced Monday that Achane (knee) has been designated for return from IR, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Achane will be eligible to retake the field as soon as Sunday's contest against the Raiders, but Miami does have a 21-day practice window in which to evaluate him. The electric rookie will resume working alongside veteran Raheem Mostert in the Dolphins backfield once he's activated, and Achane could claim the lead role quickly given Mostert's somewhat lackluster production in recent weeks. Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Monday that Achane's injury was a sprain and not a tear, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, which could make it easier for him to immediately resume handling his normal workload, rather than having to ramp things up slowly.

Dallas didn't log an offensive snap in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders. He returned two punts for 14 yards.

Dallas battled a shoulder injury during the practice week, but that's probably not the reason he was left out of the offensive rotation. After all, the fourth-year running back hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 7, as rookie Zach Charbonnet has claimed an increased role in the offense instead.

Strong did not play on offense during Sunday's 33-31 win over Baltimore.

Strong was questionable all week with a hamstring injury, which may be the reason he was limited to special teams duty, although he did return one kickoff for 33 yards. He entered Sunday with 23 touches over the prior three games, but with Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt healthy, Strong's role figures to be limited. He played just five offensive snaps in Week 9's win over Arizona.

Allgeier carried the ball nine times for 31 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.

The second-year running back saw double-digit touches for the fifth time in the last six games, but he once again failed to do much with his opportunities as he came in below 40 scrimmage yards for the third straight game. Bijan Robinson's 4.9 yards per carry is far superior to Allgeier's 3.2 mark, but the two have somehow gotten the exact same number of carries so far this year (125). Even if that workload split continues following the Falcons' Week 11 bye, Allgeier will likely be little more than a TD-dependent dart throw for the remainder of the season.

Jacobs finished with 27 carries for 116 yards while corralling both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets. He did commit two fumbles but lost possession of only one.

Jacobs literally carried the offense to victory in Sunday's low-scoring affair, finishing with over 25 carries for the second week in a row. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce's committment to running has led to excellence in the form of consecutive wins for the now 5-5 Raiders. This is great news for Jacobs' fantasy managers, as his gaudy workload is likely to stick so long as Las Vegas keeps stacking wins. The only risk for the star tailback heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins would be a blowout in favor of Miami, which could result in fewer carries for Jacobs if the visiting Raiders fall behind big to Miami's fast-paced attack.

Robinson carried the ball 22 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.

It's the first time since Week 4 that the rookie RB has recorded over 100 yards from scrimmage, and his five-yard score in the second quarter was only his second rushing TD of the season and fourth trip to the end zone overall. Robinson's usage has been strangely erratic and not in line with the draft capital used to land him as the eighth overall pick in the 2023 Draft, but with the Falcons on bye this week, the coaching staff could get a chance to reassess the backfield workload heading into a Week 12 clash with the Saints.

Hall rushed 13 times for 28 yards while catching all three of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.

Hall had a would-be three-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter nullified by a holding penalty. The versatile running back has at least 47 receiving yards in three of the past four games, but he hasn't averaged more than 3.3 yards per carry in a game over that span. He continues to see plenty of volume in a Jets offense with few playmakers besides him and Garrett Wilson. Hall has handled at least 16 touches in each of the past five games heading into a Week 11 trip to Buffalo.

Charbonnet had six carries for 44 yards and caught four of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.

Charbonnet's 11 combined touches represented a new season high for the rookie, which comes on the heels of out-snapping starter Kenneth Walker in a blowout loss to Baltimore in Week 9. The latter scenario was likely the result of the one-sided affair that took place in Baltimore, but Charbonnet maintained the increased role against Washington even with the score being close from start to finish. The second-round running back did not see an increase in playing time at the expense of starter Kenneth Walker, who finished Sunday's tilt with 127 combined yards and a touchdown on 20 touches. Charbonnet remains an option for those in deeper formats while possibly having value as a stash or insurance policy heading into Week 11's matchup against the Rams next Sunday.
