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.

Gibbs carried the ball 14 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns and caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.

While David Montgomery returned from a rib injury Sunday and led the Lions with 116 rushing yards and a score of his own, Gibbs wound up seeing five more touches while nearly matching his total yards. The rookie also produced more points, scoring on a pair of one-yard TD plunges in the first and second quarters. Gibbs and Montgomery seems likely to remain in a timeshare while both are healthy, but both could come up big again Week 11 against the Bears.

Montgomery carried the ball 12 times for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Chargers.

Seeing his first action since Week 6 after missing Detroit's last two games due to a rib injury, Montgomery didn't skip a beat, recording his third 100-yard performance of the season and scoring his seventh rushing TD on a 75-yard gallop in the second quarter. However, the fifth-year back didn't see the same kind of workload he had prior to his absence, as Jahmyr Gibbs racked up 112 yards from scrimmage and two rushing scores on 17 touches. Even in a timeshare with Gibbs, Montgomery still should be productive, and the duo gets another potentially juicy matchup Week 11 against the Bears.
