  • Jarquez Hunter RB | LAR

    Rams' Jarquez Hunter: Won't play Week 11

    Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Hunter will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game as the Rams go with three active running backs in Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers. Hunter's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nov. 23.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Not returning Sunday

    Jacobs (knee) won't return to Sunday's game at the Giants.

    Jacobs visited the blue medical tent in the first quarter, attempted to play through whatever was bothering him and then was deemed questionable to return due to a knee injury. During the Packers' first possession of the second half, he was ruled out, leaving Emanuel Wilson to lead the backfield and Chris Brooks also available at the position.

  • Jordan James RB | SF

    49ers' Jordan James: Healthy scratch

    James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

    The running back continues to be a healthy scratch for the 10th consecutive week. Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo remain ahead of James on the depth chart.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Active in Week 11

    Knight (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Knight exited in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's loss at Seattle due to an ankle injury that left him limited on all three of the Cardinals' Week 11 practice reports. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Saturday evening that Knight was in line to play this weekend, which now will come to pass. Knight and Emari Demercado have split most of the touches afforded to the team's running backs over the last two games, with each earning 22 apiece. However, Demercado has been far more effective than Knight, out-producing him 182 to 80 in terms of yards from scrimmage during that span.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Back in Sunday's contest

    Vidal (thigh) returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Vidal had exited the contest due to a thigh issue, but he was able to return to the Chargers' Week 11 backfield, which also includes Amar Johnson and Trayveon Williams.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Leaves Sunday's game

    Vidal exited Sunday's game against the Jaguars after sustaining a thigh injury.

    Before hurting his thigh, Vidal had carried three times for 11 yards and caught both of his targets for minus-1 yard. Amar Johnson and Trayveon Williams are available to handle the Chargers' backfield duties while Vidal is sidelined.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Hurts knee Sunday

    Jacobs exited Sunday's game against the Giants with a knee injury.

    Before that, Jacobs carried seven times for 40 yards and did not catch his only target. In his absence, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are available to handle Green Bay's Week 11 RB duties.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Gets into end zone in OT win

    Gordon rushed nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.

    The rookie served as a highly effective complementary option to De'Von Achane, who led the way with 120 rushing yards on the day. Gordon made solid contributions on a smaller scale, recording a 20-yard run on his way to the second-highest rushing yardage total of his nascent career. Gordon also punched in his second career rush TD on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter, rounding out his fantasy day nicely. Gordon's game-to-game production remains volatile, but he'll draw another favorable matchup in a Week 13 home date with the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30 following a Week 12 bye.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Works as No. 2 back

    Croskey-Merritt carried the ball nine times for 28 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

    Chris Rodriguez got the start for the Commanders and wound up seeing 16 touches to Croskey-Merritt's 10 while significantly out-gaining the rookie as well. The coaching staff will get a Week 12 bye to re-evaluate the offense, but Croskey-Merritt's role seems more likely to shrink than grow, as he's gone five straight games without reaching 40 rushing yards. On the season, he's produced 498 rushing yards on 114 totes for 4.4 yards per carry, but that number has plummeted to 2.9 YPC during that five-game swoon.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Eclipses century mark in OT win

    Achane rushed 21 times for 120 yards and brought in all five targets for 45 yards in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime victory over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.

    Achane put together a signature two-way performance, repeatedly picking up meaningful yardage on the ground while recording a game-long run of a relatively modest 23 yards. The speedy third-year pro did get evaluated for a possible back injury in the fourth quarter, but he was able to return to the game and handled all three carries on the Dolphins' game-winning drive to set up Riley Patterson's 29-yard field goal. Achane now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time this season, and he's recorded at least five catches in four consecutive contests heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30.
