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.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
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.
-
Travis Etienne RB | NO
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.
