  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Serves as workhorse on SNF

    Vidal took 25 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown while adding 13 yards on one reception in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    Vidal bounced back in a big way from a forgettable showing against the Titans last week (12-30-0). The 23-year-old set a new personal high with Sunday's 25 carries while cashing in his second rushing touchdown (third overall) through five starts for the injured Omarion Hampton (ankle). The latter is expected to remain out until after the Chargers' Week 12 bye, affording Vidal at least one more opportunity to operate as the team's lead back. Fantasy managers should be wary against Jacksonville next Sunday, as Vidal has alternated stud and dud performances in each of the aforementioned five starts this season.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Tallies 71 yards in win

    Montgomery rushed the ball 15 times for 71 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders. He added one reception on one target for zero yards.

    Montgomery was overshadowed by a huge performance from Jahmyr Gibbs, but the former still saw an even split in carries. He also turned in a relatively efficient outing, including five rushes of at least five yards. While it was generally a positive outing for Montgomery, this marked only the fourth time he's topped 50 rushing yards this season, and he remains dependent on finding the end zone to turn in useful fantasy performances.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Goes for over 100 total yards

    Demercado took four carries for 64 yards while catching three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.

    Bam Knight (ankle) started Sunday's contest and led Arizona's backfield with 10 carries before exiting late due to injury. Demercado was already having the more productive day, although over half of his 100-plus yards from scrimmage came in garbage time. The TCU product could be in line to start against the 49ers next Sunday if Knight's injury proves to be serious. Demercado will also have to contend with the potential return of Trey Benson (knee) from injured reserve, but the former is currently the healthiest option out of Arizona's backfield heading into Week 11.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Scores with 83 yards Sunday

    Charbonnet took 14 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 rout of the Cardinals.

    Charbonnet finished as the Seahawks' leading rusher while matching starter Kenneth Walker (14-67-0) in carries. The 24-year-old Charbonnet did not receive a target for the first time since Week 2 in an odd game script that saw Seattle attempt just 12 passes in a comfortable win. The backup's value has been inflated by six trips to the end zone this season, but his week-to-week production remains volatile, with Sunday being his first game rushing for over 50 yards in eight appearances. Charbonnet is providing enough to be considered a flex option against the Rams next Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Gains 70 yards Sunday

    Walker rushed 14 times for 67 yards while catching his only target for three yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over Arizona.

    Walker averaged a healthy 4.8 yards per tote Sunday, but his managers might be feeling let down after seeing backups Zach Charbonnet (14-83-1) and George Holani (7-31-1) cash in both of Seattle's rushing scores. The 24-year-old Walker's 120 carries still leads Seattle through nine games, but he has been held out of the end zone since Week 3. Walker is still generating solid rushing totals as the Seahawks' lead back, with managers hoping for a return to his scoring ways against the Rams next Sunday.

  • Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Increased touches late

    Croskey-Merritt rushed the ball 11 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Lions. He was not targeted.

    Croskey-Merritt was rotating with Jeremy McNichols in a backup role behind Chris Rodriguez (shoulder) for most of the first half However, Rodriguez didn't record a carry following a one-yard touchdown plunge late in the second quarter, opening up a path for increased touches for Croskey-Merritt. The rookie didn't take particular advantage with a long gain of only six yards, though he could be in line for lead-back duties in Week 11 against Miami if Rodriguez remains sidelined.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Goes for two scores vs. SF

    Williams took 14 carries for 73 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding two receptions for 11 yards in Sunday's 42-26 win over the 49ers.

    Williams followed up his first 100-yard rushing game of the season last week with his first multiple rushing touchdown performance of 2025. Blake Corum remained involved with 13 carries for 56 yards, but Williams continues to outproduce the backup while handling the important touches around the goal line. Expect the Rams to lean on Williams and their other top offensive weapons in a potential shootout against the red-hot Seahawks next Sunday.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Grinds for 96 total yards Sunday

    McCaffrey rushed 12 times for 30 yards and brought in eight of 10 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    McCaffrey was stymied by the Rams' front seven Sunday, being held to a season-low 2.5 yards YPC in defeat. The dual-threat superstar managed to salvage his fantasy day with heavy involvement as a receiver, as he has done on multiple occasions this year. Change-of-pace back Brian Robinson (8-41-1) did just that on his eight carries, but this is still CMC's backfield for as many snaps he can handle. McCaffrey has a prime opportunity to correct his rushing woes next Sunday when San Francisco faces an Arizona defense that just surrendered 198 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Seattle in Week 10.

  • Sean Tucker RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Outgains White in Week 10 loss

    Tucker rushed nine times for 53 yards and brought in one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Tucker finished with a team-high rushing yardage total, gaining 15 more yards than backfield mate Rachaad White on one fewer carry. Tucker notably has 21 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown over the last two games, compared to 73 yards on 23 carries for White in the same span. While the latter remains much more involved in the passing game, Tucker could continue to eat into White's workload on the ground in a Week 11 road matchup against a highly vulnerable Bills run defense, assuming Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) remains sidelined.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Three TDs against Commanders

    Gibbs rushed the ball 15 times for 142 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders. He added three receptions on four targets for 30 yards and an additional score.

    Gibbs showcased his entire skill set in Sunday's win, accounting for three touchdowns and 172 yards from scrimmage. His first score came on a route over the middle for 14 yards, which he then followed up with a tough 13-yard run into the end zone, during which he bullied his way through several defenders. Gibbs capped off his day with a 43-yard scamper down the right sideline, beating several Commanders defenders with his speed. This was Gibbs' most productive fantasy performance of the season -- it was his second-highest yardage total of the campaign -- and marked his fourth game with either multiple trips to the end zone or 100 total yards from scrimmage.
