Quinshon Judkins RB | CLE
Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Tops 100 scrimmage yards Sunday
Judkins carried the ball 23 times for 91 yards and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers. He added a two-point conversion on the ground.
While the Browns lost the game, Judkins did manage to out-produce Christian McCaffrey by 109 combined yards to 74, although CMac scored a TD. It's the first time since Week 5, and the third time in 11 games, that Judkins reached triple-digit yards from scrimmage, and the rookie remains on pace to top 1,000 rushing yards heading into a Week 14 clash with the Titans.

Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Big workload despite injury
Marks rushed 19 times for 64 yards and brought in his only target for three yards in the Texans' 20-16 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Marks exited the game for a spell in the first half due to a foot injury, but the rookie not only made his way back in relatively short order, he put together a solid performance overall. His carry total was a new career high, and he managed to cross the 60-yard mark on the ground for the third time in four games as well. Marks was able to finish the contest and even managed key nine- and four-yard runs on the Texans' game-icing drive, and he should remain in clear control of the ground attack during a Week 14 road clash against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Opens scoring in win over Falcons
Hall rushed 19 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.
Hall capitalized on a muffed punt by Atlanta in the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run on the next play. His third rushing touchdown of the season opened the scoring, and after losing their previous 10 games when scoring first, the Jets avoided tying a dubious NFL record by avoiding an 11th such loss. Hall got all 19 of the carries among Jets running backs in the win, and his versatile skill set should earn him another heavy workload in Week 14 against a Dolphins defense that has struggled to stop the run.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Gets into end zone in Week 13
McCaffrey carried the ball 20 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and caught all four of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns.
The 21 receiving yards represented his lowest total of the season, while the 74 scrimmage yards were his worst production since Week 8 as the 49ers offense struggled in bad weather against a tough Cleveland front seven. McCaffrey salvaged his day with a one-yard TD plunge to open the scoring in the first quarter however, his eighth rushing score and 13th total touchdown in 13 games. McCaffrey will get a breather during next week's bye before taking on a more vulnerable Titans defense in Week 15.

Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Nearly 200 yards in loss to Jets
Robinson rushed 23 times for 142 yards and a touchdown while catching five of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.
Robinson posted his second-highest total of the season with 193 scrimmage yards. He was stopped for no gain on first-and-goal from the one-yard line late in the first half and watched Tyler Allgeier power in a game-tying one-yard touchdown on the next play. Bijan produced a rushing touchdown of his own with a five-yard scoring run in the third quarter, but it was only his fifth touchdown run of the season compared to Allgeier's eight. Robinson has produced at least 107 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games and in eight of 12 games overall heading into a Week 14 home game against Seattle's stout run defense.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Strong showing in return
Irving rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown while bringing in both targets for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Irving notably jumped right back into a true lead-back role in his first game action since Week 4, despite talk during the week he'd see limited snaps. The standout second-year back outpaced both Rachaad White and Sean Tucker by 15 carries, and in addition to his 13-yard scoring run late in the third quarter, he also saw a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter wiped out by a holding penalty. Perhaps just as important as his individual statistics was the fact Irving proved capable of handling a hefty workload immediately, which certainly pleases his fantasy managers heading into a Week 14 home matchup against a vulnerable Saints defense next Sunday.

Dylan Sampson RB | CLE
Browns' Dylan Sampson: Won't return Sunday
Sampson (calf) won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Sampson carried four times for 23 yards prior to his departure from the contest. In his absence, Jerome Ford and Raheim Sanders are available to handle backfield touches that don't go to starting RB Quinshon Judkins.
-
Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Inactive for Week 13
White (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
White appeared to fall under the weather Friday, and the illness is severe enough for the fourth-year pro to miss Sunday's AFC West tilt. Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube will provide backfield depth for the Raiders behind rookie Ashton Jeanty in White's absence.

Dylan Sampson RB | CLE
Browns' Dylan Sampson: Departs Week 13 with injury
Sampson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against San Francisco due to a calf injury.
Sampson's injury was announced by Cleveland in the third quarter. Prior to exiting, he rushed four times for 23 yards. If Sampson is unable to return, Jerome Ford could see more offensive snaps behind lead back Quinshon Judkins, while Malachi Corley could serve as the team's lead kick returner.

Cam Akers RB | SEA
Seahawks' Cam Akers: Healthy scratch Sunday
Akers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
The running back signed with the team Wednesday after being cut from Minnesota's practice squad. With George Holani on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, Seattle appeared to have a spot available behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, but it will not go to Akers on Sunday. The former Viking has just five carries for 19 yards this season.
