  • Lions' David Montgomery: Takes back seat to Gibbs

    Montgomery carried the ball five times for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.

    The veteran back failed to reach 40 scrimmage yards for the second straight game, but Montgomery simply wasn't needed much on a day in which Jahmyr Gibbs erupted for 264 scrimmage yards and three totals TDs. Montgomery has gone three straight games without getting into the end zone, his longest drought in three seasons with the Lions, but he could have a bigger role in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving tilt against the Packers.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Accrues 57 total yards in loss

    Jones rushed nine times for 41 yards and brought in three of four targets for 16 yards in the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Jones actually saw a pretty typical workload despite the negative game script, getting to the nine-carry mark for the fourth straight contest. The veteran back had one more rush attempt than backfield mate Jordan Mason, and he recorded multiple receptions for the fifth straight contest. Jones and Mason should continue in their near-even timeshare during a Week 13 road battle against the Seahawks next Sunday.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Three TDs including OT winner

    Gibbs carried the ball 15 times for 219 yards and two touchdowns while catching 11 of 12 targets for 45 yards and a third TD in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.

    The 11 catches and 12 targets were career highs for Gibbs as were the 264 scrimmage yards, while the 219 rushing yards were the most ever in a game by a Detroit player not named Barry Sanders. Gibbs saved his best for last as well -- after catching a three-yard TD pass in the second quarter and busting loose for a 49-yard score on the ground in the fourth, the third-year back dashed for a 69-yard rushing touchdown on the first play of OT. Through 11 games this season, Gibbs already has 10 rushing TDs -- his third straight season in double digits -- with 951 rushing yards on 6.1 yards per carry, while adding a 48-379-3 receiving line on 55 targets. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving tilt against the Packers.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Outplayed by Tracy in Week 12

    Singletary rushed 14 times for 47 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions.

    Singletary had 14 touches to Tyrone Tracy's 23. Tracy churned out 130 scrimmage yards and has pulled away from Singletary as the busier and more effective part of the Giants' running back platoon. It won't show up on the stat sheet, but Singletary also touched the ball on Wan'Dale Robinson's 39-yard touchdown catch on the opening drive, tossing the ball back to Jameis Winston on a flea flicker. Whether the Giants get Jaxson Dart (concussion) back or give Winston a third straight start under center in Week 13 against the Patriots, Singletary's likely to continue working as a complementary option alongside Tracy.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Hurts knee Sunday

    Kamara sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

    Kamara was twisted to the turf awkwardly on a tackle in the first half, after which he visited the medical tent multiple times before going to the locker room. He combined for five touches for 15 yards from scrimmage prior to his departure. Devin Neal will take over the No. 1 RB role for as long as Kamara is sidelined.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Leaves Sunday's game

    Kamara (undisclosed) went to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Falcons, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

    Kamara was twisted up on a tackle and went to the turf awkwardly in the first half. He visited the medical tent multiple times before leaving the Saints' sideline. At the time of his exit, he notched 11 yards on three carries and hauled in both of his targets for four yards. Devin Neal will step in for Kamara for as long as the latter is out of the contest.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Reaches century mark again

    Brown carried the ball 19 times for 107 yards and caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.

    The 130 scrimmage yards were a season high for Brown, who ran for at least 100 yards for the second time in 11 games and recorded at least 100 scrimmage yards for the fifth straight contest. The third-year back has piled up 424 rushing yards and 150 receiving yards during that hot streak while scoring two TDs, one on the ground and one through the air. Brown and the entire Bengals offense could get a boost in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is able to return for a Thanksgiving game against the Ravens.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Bottled up in OT loss

    Taylor rushed 16 times for 58 yards and brought in two of three targets for eight yards in the Colts' 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    The Chiefs' defense did a number on Taylor, with the star running back finishing under 60 rushing yards for only the second time in 11 games. Taylor was coming off a season-high 244 rushing yards and three rushing scores in Week 10 against the Falcons before the Colts' bye, and Sunday also marked only the second time this season he failed to record more than one run of double-digit yardage. Taylor will aim to regroup at the expense of a tough Texans defense in a Week 13 home matchup next Sunday.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Second straight game with 130-plus

    Tracy rushed 20 times for 62 yards and caught three of four targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions.

    Tracy had six more rushing attempts than Devin Singletary, and Singletary wasn't targeted while Tracy contributed with catches of 42, 20 and six yards. The Giants will likely continue to mix both running backs in against the stout New England run defense in Week 13, but Tracy has established himself as the 1A backfield option with 269 scrimmage yards over the past two games. Tracy still has only one touchdown this season.

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Maintains top job in backfield

    Henderson carried the ball 18 times for 66 yards and caught three of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

    Rhamondre Stevenson returned from a three-game absence due to a toe injury, but that didn't have a big impact on Henderson's workload, as his 18 carries were just one short of his volume from the week before. Stevenson was also largely ineffective on his limited touches, gaining just five rushing yards on six totes and getting stuffed on two carries from Cincinnati's one-yard line in the third quarter. Henderson appears to have the No. 1 job in the backfield firmly in hand, racking up 405 rushing yards and four TDs with 5.4 yards per carry over the last five games while chipping in a 13-81-1 line on 16 targets. Henderson gets a very juicy matchup in Week 13 against a Giants defense that just got torched for 264 scrimmage yards and three total TDs by the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs.
