  • Gus Edwards RB | LAC

    Ravens' Gus Edwards: Remains lead back

    Edwards rushed the ball 11 times for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Browns. He added one catch for four yards.

    Though Keaton Mitchell has proven to be the more explosive player, Edwards remained the lead back in Baltimore and out-touched Mitchell by a 12-4 margin. Edwards was largely unremarkable with the opportunity, though he did manage to fall into the end zone from one yard away early in the fourth quarter. He now has at least one touchdown in four consecutive games, and though his grip on the lead-back role may be tenuous, Edwards will likely remain the short-yardage option at a minimum.

  • Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Scores early touchdown

    Mitchell rushed the ball three times for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Browns. He added one reception for 32 yards.

    Gus Edwards continued to lead the Baltimore backfield, as he tallied 12 touches compared to Mitchell's four. On the other hand, there's no doubt as to who the more explosive player was, as Mitchell found the end zone on a 39-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter. One possession later, he took a short pass for a 32-yard gain to set up a field goal. Mitchell was used only sparingly from there, but he's making the case for a bigger role and appears to have moved ahead of Justice Hill on the depth chart.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Career day as receiver

    Robinson took eight carries for 38 yards while catching all six of his targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-26 loss to Seattle.

    Robinson's big day as a pass catcher resulted in a new single-game high in receiving yards while nearly doubling the combined air production from his previous nine contests in one fell swoop. The second-year back did finish with single-digit carries for the third time this season, but he offset the low usage as a rusher by providing a fantasy line most managers would be content with from their top wide receiver. The Alabama product has been a strong contributor through 10 games this season, combining for 741 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns over that span. Robinson could stay hot in Week 11 with a favorable matchup against a banged-up Giants squad next Sunday.

  • Austin Ekeler RB | WAS

    Chargers' Austin Ekeler: 100-plus total yards and touchdown

    Ekeler registered 19 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown along with four receptions (on seven targets) for 48 yards in the 41-38 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    The Lions' vaunted run defense certainly performed as advertised, as Ekeler averaged just 3.5 yards per carry over the afternoon. The electric scat back did get his customary red-zone work, which resulted in a short touchdown; however, the 28-year-old was otherwise bottled in terms of explosive plays. The seven-year pro now has six consecutive games with at least 14 carries and owns a near monopoly on the Chargers' goal-line touches, which means even with a sub 4.0-yard-per-carry average, he remains a weekly fantasy lock for the time being.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Plenty of work as pass catcher

    Kamara rushed the ball nine times for 42 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Vikings. He added seven receptions on seven targets for 33 yards.

    Kamara led the team in carries and was efficient with his limited volume on the ground. However, the Saints were chasing points the entire game, tilting a bulk of his work toward the air. Kamara didn't deliver splash gains, but he did manage at least 75 total yards from scrimmage for the sixth time in his first seven games of the campaign.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Returns as lead runner Sunday

    Conner (knee) turned 16 carries into 73 yards during Sunday's 25-23 win versus the Falcons.

    After a four-game stint on injured reserve due to a knee injury, Conner made his first appearance since Week 5 and immediately took over the Cardinals backfield. His 16 rushes easily outpaced the three combined for reserve backs Keaontay Ingram and Tony Jones, and Conner also ceded just six carries to quarterback Kyler Murray, who saw his first game action in 11 months following last year's ACL tear. As was usually the case before his own injury, Conner wasn't looked at by his QB in the passing game, which is consistent with the two or fewer targets he received in four of five contests to begin the campaign. Conner next will take on the Texans on Sunday, Nov. 19.

  • Alex Armah FB | WAS

    Commanders' Alex Armah: Exits game with leg injury

    Armah is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Seahawks after sustaining a hamstring injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Armah has primarily played on special teams and as a lead blocker on offense this season. The Commanders' run game will take a hit if Armah is unable to return to Sunday's game.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Completely stymied in Week 10 loss

    Henry rushed 11 times for 24 yards and brought in his only target for minus-4 yards in the Titans' 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Henry's final numbers essentially spell out how frustrating an afternoon it was for the star running back. His rush attempts tied a season low, while his yardage tally was only higher than his 20-yard effort versus the Browns in Week 3. Game script increasingly put a crimp on Henry's opportunities Sunday, and he'll have another tough matchup on the ground versus the Jaguars in a Week 11 divisional road clash.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Scores receiving TD in win

    White rushed 20 times for 51 yards and brought in two of three targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    White drew his typical workhorse role on the ground, and as customary, he found running room at a premium. However, the second-year back salvaged his fantasy day with a nifty 43-yard touchdown reception off a screen pass just past the midway point of the second quarter where he weaved his way to the end zone down the left side of the field. White now has back-to-back 20-carry tallies heading into a tough Week 11 road battle against the 49ers.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Scores TD in Week 10 loss

    Mixon rushed 11 times for 46 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for minus-1 yard in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Mixon put together a solid performance on the ground relative to the modest amount of opportunity he saw, with the highlight a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that brought the Bengals to within a field goal. The veteran back will take a three-game touchdown streak into a Week 11 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night, but he's yet to top 87 rushing yards in any game this season.
