  • 49ers' Brian Robinson: Eight carries in dominant win

    Robinson turned eight carries into 26 yards in Sunday's 26-8 victory over Cleveland.

    Robinson garnered at least seven carries for the fourth game in a row, but he was limited to an uninspiring 3.3 yards per carry Sunday. The running back also didn't see a target for the first time since Week 9. Robinson has now rushed the ball 72 times for 328 yards and two touchdowns while catching seven of 10 targets for 19 yards over 13 contests this year.

  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Can't get going in easy win

    Etienne rushed the ball 12 times for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans. He added one reception on one target for 13 yards.

    The Jaguars dominated the game on the scoreboard, but their offensive showing wasn't all that impressive. The running game was the primary culprit, as Etienne matched his lowest yards-per-rush mark of the season, and his longest gain on the ground went for only six yards. The lone positive was that he worked as the clear lead back ahead of Bhayshul Tuten, though Etienne did cede several carries around the goal line to the rookie.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Disappears in Week 13 win

    Tucker rushed twice for no gain and wasn't targeted in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Tucker and Rachaad White each logged just two carries in the return of Bucky Irving from a seven-game absence, which could be a sign of what's to come down the stretch of the season. Tucker had logged double-digit carries in three of the previous four games with Irving sidelined and proved worthy of additional work, but it remains to be seen how many touches behind Irving will be left over for Tucker and White week to week moving forward.

  • Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Compiles 29 total yards in win

    White rushed twice for seven yards and brought in all three targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

    White saw his workload on the ground diminish significantly with the return of Bucky Irving from a seven-game absence due to foot and shoulder injuries. With Irving now back in the fold and seemingly ready to handle a full workload, White and Sean Tucker, who also logged two carries Sunday, appear set to compete for leftover touches moving forward, capping the fantasy upside of both backs.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Catches six passes in loss

    Spears caught all six of his targets for 25 yards in the Titans' 25-3 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He added two carries for minus-1 yard.

    Spears' six catches tied rookie TE Gunnar Helm for the team lead, and Spears' 25 yards were four fewer than team-leader Chig Okonkwo. Spears was out-carried 10 to two by Tony Pollard, who produced rushing 60 yards on his attempts. In eight games since returning from injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, Spears has rushed 39 times for 158 yards and one touchdown, adding 28 catches for 173 scoreless yards on 30 targets. Spears has been a reliable check-down target for Cam Ward, but Pollard continues to handle the majority of the carries out of Tennessee's backfield.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Turns 21 touches into 61 yards

    Jeanty rushed 15 times for 31 yards and caught six of eight targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers.

    Jeanty continues to get minimal help from the 2-10 Raiders' overmatched offensive line. The rookie sixth overall pick is averaging 18.7 touches per game but just 3.5 yards per carry heading into a Week 14 home game against the tough Broncos defense. Other Raiders running backs combined for one carry and no targets against the Chargers, so Jeanty remains the unquestioned top option in the backfield for Vegas.

  • Trevor Etienne RB | CAR

    Panthers' Trevor Etienne: Makes impact vs. Rams

    Etienne caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams. He added four kick returns for 89 yards and one punt return for 15 yards.

    The rookie from Georgia received an offensive touch for the second time in the Panthers' last five games and recorded the second-most total return yards (104) of his career during Sunday's win. Etienne has now rushed 20 times for 94 yards and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards over Carolina's first 13 games. Additionally, he's tallied 617 kick-return yards and 111 punt-return yards. The 21-year-old will likely remain a minor portion of the Panthers' offensive game plan following the team's Week 14 bye.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Receiving TD in Sunday's loss

    Knight rushed 11 times for 62 yards and brought in all three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Knight was the clear lead back due to Emari Demercado (ankle) being sidelined, and the 24-year-old put together a season-high yardage total while logging double-digit carries for the second straight game and fifth time in the last seven contests overall. Knight also averaged a season-high 5.6 yards per carry, and he recorded the first receiving touchdown of his career on a 15-yard grab during a broken play late in the third quarter. As Jess Root of USA Today notes, Knight didn't see the field after the 10:46 mark in the fourth quarter, though that may have been a byproduct of Arizona favoring its passing-down personnel featuring Michael Carter in the backfield. Knight had been nursing a knee injury coming into Sunday, so his practice activity may be worth keeping an eye on during Week 14 prep. Even if his knee doesn't prove to be a concern, Knight could still be in line for a lightened workload next Sunday versus the Rams if Trey Benson (knee) is cleared to return from injured reserve.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Career-best outing in win

    Vidal tallied 25 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Raiders. He also caught his lone target for 11 yards.

    Vidal exploded for a 59-yard scamper to kick off the scoring in the second half, by far the longest run of his young career, and that resulted in the go-ahead touchdown in a game the Raiders rarely threatened. Nominal starter Omarion Hampton (ankle) looks like he is close to making his return after a seven-game absence, which would in essence end Vidal's opportunity as the team's lead back. If this was the final hurrah, the second-year back was truly marvelous, compiling 24-plus touches for the third time in five weeks. Vidal at minimum will likely still spell Hampton, although neither back should be expected to have a big Week 14 game against a Philadelphia defense that has stifled most opponents on the ground this year.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Rushes for 17 yards, TD in win

    Tuten rushed eight times for 17 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars' 25-3 win over the Titans on Sunday. He added one catch for two yards on one target.

    Tuten was out-carried 12 to eight by Travis Etienne, who also out-gained the rookie 28 to 17 on the ground. However, it was Tuten who found the end zone with a two-yard plunge in the third quarter. After rushing a season-high 15 times for 74 yards and one score in the Jaguars' Week 11 win over the Chargers, Tuten has carried the ball a total of 15 times for 34 yards (2.27 yards per carry) and one touchdown over the last two weeks. He hasn't done enough to close the gap on Etienne as the team's clear RB1. Tuten isn't much more than a fantasy bench stash.
