  • Bills' Devin Singletary: Modest numbers in lead role

    Singletary rushed eight times for 39 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.

    Singletary was busier and more effective than James Cook, who turned four carries and one target into 15 scrimmage yards. Neither running back was much of a factor, as Buffalo won this one thanks to its defense with an assist from the dual-threat production of quarterback Josh Allen, who led the team on the ground with 47 yards and a touchdown. Singletary remains the team's top running back over Cook, but Allen is the Bills' premier rushing option heading into Week 15 against the Dolphins.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Lions' D'Andre Swift: Held in check during win

    Swift rushed six times for 21 yards and brought in three of four targets for 18 yards in the Lions' 34-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Swift appeared to be firmly on an upward trajectory heading into Sunday's game after tying his season high in touches during a Week 13 blowout win over the Jaguars. However, it was backfield mate Jamaal Williams who comfortably paced the team in carries with 16 on Sunday, and Swift couldn't make up for the shortfall in rushing work through the air. The Lions backfield once again appears to be a bit of a fantasy quagmire heading into a tough Week 15 road battle versus the Jets.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Scores in Week 14 win

    Perine had four carries for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns. He also had one catch for two yards on five targets.

    On the touchdown, Perine broke a tackle and seemingly caught the Browns off-guard by bouncing outside. Perine had two drops among those five targets. With Joe Mixon back, Perine was back to a secondary role, but at least the red-zone work gave him fantasy viability.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Two scores against Houston

    Pollard rushed the ball 10 times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Texans. He added four receptions on five targets for 20 yards and an additional score.

    Pollard didn't flash his typical hyper-efficient ways -- at least in terms of big plays -- but he still found the end zone twice. His first score came on an 11-yard rush around right end early in the opening quarter. Next, he took a swing pass out of the backfield for a 10-yard receiving score to put the Cowboys up 14-10. The team continues to limit Pollard's touches in a shared backfield with Ezekiel Elliott, but the former has scored six touchdowns across his last four games.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Struggles in Cincy

    Chubb rushed 14 times for 34 yards and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals.

    Chubb's attempts were limited by Cleveland playing from behind throughout, and he didn't do much with the opportunities he received. While Chubb tied his season high with three catches, he simply isn't involved enough in the passing game to make up the difference when he's bottled up on the ground. The star running back's first multi-game touchdown drought has coincided with Deshaun Watson's first two starts for the Browns, and Chubb will look to end this slump in Week 15 against the Ravens, who allowed one of his 12 rushing touchdowns back in Week 7.

  • Mike Boone RB | MIA

    Broncos' Mike Boone: Injures ankle Sunday

    Boone was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Chiefs after suffering an ankle injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Before his exit from the contest, Boone ran three times for two yards and caught two passes for 27 yards. In his absence, Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack will handle Denver's Week 14 backfield touches.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Solid return effort

    Mixon had 14 carries for 96 yards and two catches for 10 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns.

    As the Bengals promised, they did also include Samaje Perine (4-22-1, plus one catch for two yards on five targets) in the offense, but Mixon was the primary ballcarrier and the one they turned to frequently to finish off the game in the second half.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Giants' Saquon Barkley: Limited in Week 14 loss

    Barkley rushed nine times for 28 yards and brought in both targets for 20 yards in the Giants' 48-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Barkley came into the pregame warmups with his status up in the air due to a neck injury, and he ultimately played just 20 snaps, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. However, Raanan notes head coach Brian Daboll said the star running back was not on any kind of pre-determined snap limit, and the fact Barkley didn't play from late in the third quarter onward was a byproduct of the lopsided score. Barkley will have an opportunity to be in better overall shape going into a critical Week 15 Sunday night battle against the Commanders.

  • Michael Carter RB | TEN

    Jets' Michael Carter: Struggles in return from injury

    Carter (ankle) rushed five times for five yards and caught three of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to Buffalo. He also lost a fumble.

    Carter ceded most of the backfield opportunities to Zonovan Knight, who rushed for 71 yards and New York's only touchdown on 17 attempts. The former also lost a crucial fumble just outside the red zone with the Jets trailing by 11 in the fourth quarter. This disastrous performance won't help Carter cut into Knight's workload in Week 15, though there could be enough opportunities to go around for both Jets running backs to find success against the leaky Lions run defense.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Jets' Zonovan Knight: Leads backfield in Carter's return

    Knight rushed 17 times for 71 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.

    Knight was bottled up in the first half but finally broke free for a 13-yard touchdown run on the first possession after halftime, shaking off tackles to tie the score at seven. He finished with 19 touches to eight for Michael Carter, who mustered only 20 scrimmage yards and lost a crucial fumble in his return from an ankle injury. Knight has 298 scrimmage yards through his first three NFL games and should maintain the lead role in Week 15 against the generous Lions run defense.
