  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Rush TD in big win

    Chubb rushed nine times for 34 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Chubb once again played a clear second fiddle to Woody Marks (19 carries, one target), but the veteran was able to punch in his third rushing touchdown of the season on a four-yard run with just over five minutes remaining in the second quarter. Marks left the game briefly in the first half due to a foot injury but returned, and Chubb therefore projects to remain in a firm complementary role during a Week 14 road battle against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

  • Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ

    Jets' Isaiah Davis: No carries or catches in win

    Davis didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

    Davis didn't register a rushing attempt and was targeted just once while Breece Hall led Jets running backs with 19 carries and two targets. As long as Hall's healthy, Davis is unlikely to earn many touches in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Exits with shoulder injury

    Jones suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's contest at Seattle, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Jones landed hard on his shoulder while getting tackled at the end of a three-yard catch in the middle of the third quarter, and he lost a fumble in the process. He's been listed on Vikings injury reports with a shoulder issue since being diagnosed with an AC joint sprain after Week 9 action, but he's been able to suit up for four straight games until potentially aggravating it Sunday. Jordan Mason will man the backfield for as long as Jones is sidelined.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Tops 100 scrimmage yards in win

    Hubbard carried the ball 17 times for a team-high 83 yards and caught both his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

    The fifth-year running back topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time all season and got into the end zone for the first time since Week 8. He turned a screen pass into a 35-yard TD in the first quarter for Carolina's first points of the afternoon. Hubbard's touch volume also tied his season high, and with Rico Dowdle (58 rushing yards on 18 carries) struggling to make an impact in recent weeks, the workload split in the Panthers backfield may be tipping back in Hubbard's favor. The team will be on bye next week, so clarity in the pecking order likely won't come until a Week 15 clash with the Saints.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Takes back seat to Hubbard

    Dowdle carried the ball 18 times for 58 yards and caught both his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

    The fifth-year running back split touches nearly equally with Chuba Hubbard, but it was Hubbard who paced Carolina's backfield with 124 scrimmage yards, including a 35-yard TD reception from Bryce Young in the first quarter. Dowdle has gone three straight games without getting into the end zone himself, producing 141 rushing yards on only 3.3 yards per carry during that stretch, and Hubbard could be re-emerging as the Panthers' top RB. The team will be on bye next week, so clarity in the backfield pecking order likely won't come until a Week 15 clash with the Saints.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Over 100 yards again Sunday

    Achane rushed 22 times for 134 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in his only target in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Achane finished with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the campaign with the help of three double-digit-yardage runs, including a 29-yard scoring scamper to cap off the opening possession of the contest. Achane's rushing volume has unsurprisingly ticked up over the course of the season as the Dolphins manage the absence of Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), and the explosive back now has three straight games with 21 or more carries heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Logs 17 touches Week 13

    Neal accrued 14 rushes for 47 yards and reeled in all three targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 21-17 loss against the Dolphins.

    Neal handled the bulk of the Saints' carries en route to career highs in rushing attempts and yards. The rookie served in the top role in the absence of RB1 Alvin Kamara, who was inactive after suffering an MCL sprain during last week's loss to Atlanta. Neal didn't end uph having to truly split work out of the backfield, as the only other two running backs on the roster, Evan Hull and Audric Estime, logged five and zero carries, respectively. Meanwhile, Taysom Hill recorded just one rushing attempt as the change-of-pace dual-threat QB. With Kamara expected to miss more time moving forward, Neal seems set for moderate usage as the Saints' No. 1 running back for the time being. The Saints face the Buccaneers on the road in Week 14.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Scores eighth rushing TD in loss

    Allgeier rushed eight times for 20 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

    Allgeier scored a one-yard touchdown one play after Bijan Robinson was stopped for no gain. Robinson got a rushing score in the third quarter, but Allgeier still leads the team with eight rushing touchdowns compared to Robinson's five. Allgeier maintains some fantasy value thanks to his goal-line usage, but he's averaging just 28.7 rushing yards per game heading into a Week 14 home game against Seattle's elite run defense.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Grinds out solid showing

    Taylor rushed the ball 21 times for 85 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans. He added three receptions on five targets for 36 yards.

    Taylor didn't have any of his typical explosive plays, but he had enough volume to top 100 yards from scrimmage. His receiving line was particularly notable, as he matched his season high with five targets while topping 30 receiving yards for the fourth time. Taylor has gotten a bit more inconsistent on the ground of late, topping 90 rushing yards in only half of his lats six games. However, he's still found the end zone nine times in that span while topping 100 yards from scrimmage four times.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Big day in Week 13 loss

    Corum carried the ball seven times for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    His TD came on a two-yard plunge right before halftime after Kyren Williams left the game to get his ankle checked out. Williams was back in the lineup to begin the second half and wound up with 72 rushing yards and a score of his own, and after the contest he indicated that he's not concerned about the ankle being a lingering issue. Even so, the Rams had already been increasing Corum's workload in recent weeks, so Williams' ankle might give them an excuse to move the backfield toward more of a 50-50 split in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Corum's 81 rushing yards were a season high, while his trip to the end zone was his first since Week 2.
