  • Texans' Devin Singletary: Career-best effort in win

    Singletary carried 30 times for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Texans' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Singletary filled in for Dameon Pierce (ankle) for the second straight game, and on this occasion, he was the only Texans running back to log a carry. Singletary consistently exploited running lanes throughout the afternoon, with his long gain going for a modest 22 yards. He also recorded his first touchdown in a Texans uniform on a six-yard run midway through the third quarter, the perfect punctuation mark on the career-best performance. Given how much Pierce has struggled for running room when he's been healthy, it's certainly conceivable the backfield develops into much more of a timeshare whenever the second-year back returns to action.

  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Packers' AJ Dillon: Leads Green Bay on ground

    Dillon rushed nine times for 70 yards and caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Dillon's team-leading rushing output included a career-long scamper of 40 yards. Despite Aaron Jones returning to lead the Packers in touches the past couple weeks, Dillon has now totaled at least 75 scrimmage yards in three of his last five games. He'll strive to continue his solid recent complementary work next Sunday versus the Chargers.

  • Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Held in check by 49ers

    Etienne rushed nine times for 35 yards and caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

    Etienne finished with fewer than 12 carries for the first time this season as Jacksonville abandoned the run after getting down big. The starting running back's touchdown streak ended at four games and seven scrimmage touchdowns in a game that also saw Chrisitan McCaffrey's touchdown streak snapped at 17 games. The 6-3 Jaguars will likely have a more favorable game script at home against the 3-6 Titans in Week 11, which should lead to a larger workload for Etienne.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Another big game

    Warren rushed 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Packers. He also caught two of four targets for nine yards.

    Warren followed last week's career-best rushing tally by posting a new personal high Sunday. The tailback had a couple long runs, including a 16-yard touchdown during the second quarter. His production came while starter Najee Harris also had a good game, rushing 16 times for 82 yards and a score of his own. Despite sharing snaps, Warren's stock continues to rise ahead of Week 11's divisional clash with the Browns.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Scores in victory

    Harris rushed 16 times for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Packers. He also caught three of four targets for 14 yards.

    Harris opened the scoring with a walk-in touchdown from four yards on Pittsburgh's first offensive series. That gave Harris a score in three of his last four contests, including back-to-back outings, and he proceeded to set a season high in rushing yards to boot. Harris' production came while teammate Jaylen Warren actually outgained him with 101 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, yet it was a successful display from the former nonetheless.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Gets 142 yards but TD streak ends

    McCaffrey rushed 16 times for 95 yards and caught six of 10 targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 34-3 win over Jacksonville.

    McCaffrey's touchdown streak ended at 17 games, including the playoffs, one shy of the NFL record. San Francisco gave him two carries and two targets from inside the 10-yard line on its penultimate drive, but McCaffrey couldn't get into the end zone to extend the streak. He still surpassed 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time in the last five games, and the workhorse running back has logged at least 22 touches in each of those games. Starting a new touchdown streak may not be easy in Week 11 against a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed only one scrimmage touchdown to a running back this season.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Packers' Aaron Jones: Stymied by Steelers

    Jones rushed 13 times for 35 yards and caught four of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Jones struggled to get much going in Sunday's narrow defeat. While he led the Packers in targets, he didn't gain much territory on his few grabs. In the running game, teammate AJ Dillon topped Green Bay with 70 yards on nine carries. The versatile Jones will strive to bounce back at home next Sunday versus the Chargers.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Sustains concussion

    Mattison won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints after sustaining a concussion in the third quarter, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Mattison reeled in one of two targets for six yards and carried seven times for 24 yards before suffering the head injury on a three-yard gain on what proved to be his final tote of the day. Ty Chandler -- who had moved up to No. 2 on the depth chart in the wake of Cam Akers suffering a season-ending Achilles injury last week -- will finish Sunday's contest as the Vikings' top back.

  • Deuce Vaughn RB | DEN

    Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Garners active status Week 10

    Vaughn is in line to serve as the Cowboys' punt returner in Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Giants with KaVontae Turpin (shoulder) inactive, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    The speedy rookie was last active Week 5, and he'll now have a chance to add to the 40 rushing yards, 19 receiving yards and 10 punt return yards he's amassed in five games thus far. Vaughn could be particularly busy in his special-teams role, considering the Giants will start rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito and therefore could see plenty of drives end in punts.

  • Kenny McIntosh RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Won't play Week 10

    McIntosh (knee) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

    McIntosh was activated off injured reserve Saturday after sitting out the first nine weeks of the season with a knee sprain. However, he'll ultimately have to wait to make his NFL debut, as the team will wait before sending him into game action. The rookie running back's next opportunity to play will come Sunday, Nov. 19 against the Rams. In the meantime, DeeJay Dallas should continue to add depth behind top running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
