Nwangwu returned three kickoffs for 143 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Nwangwu got the Jets on the board with a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown, which tied for the longest scoring play in the NFL this season. He's one of the league's most dynamic kickoff returners when available, but a hamstring injury and concussion have limited Nwangwu to four appearances in 2025. He has two kickoff-return touchdowns in six games with the Jets dating back to last season.

Mitchell had four carries for 31 yards Sunday against the Vikings.

Mitchell got a carry on four of his five snaps Sunday and was effective on those opportunities, including a 22-yard rush, which was the longest of the day for any Raven. The third-year running back has not had more than 10 snaps in any of his five outings thus far, but he's getting work anytime he's on the field. He's averaging 6.2 yards per carry on 15 attempts thus far and is a big-play threat out of the Baltimore backfield. The Ravens head to Cleveland to face the Browns in Week 11.

Hill took his lone carry for a one-yard touchdown and added a 12-yard reception in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

The Ravens used Hill a bit more than they did in Week 9 when he played a season-low 11 snaps. Hill was out there for 19 snaps on offense (27 percent) and made the most of his two touches, picking up a first down on his one catch. Hill's goal-line opportunity was his first such carry of the season and his first red-zone carry since Week 4. He remains a part of the offense as the main backup to Derrick Henry, but he rarely sees even five touches in a given game.

Davis rushed three times for 10 yards and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Breece Hall took on a workhorse role, churning out 125 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 22 touches. The rest of the team combined for only 44 rushing yards and 12 receiving yards, so the Jets understandably were loath to take Hall off the field. Davis was on the field for just 14 of 49 offensive snaps, while Hall played 35. It looks like Davis' breakout Week 8 outing was an outlier, and he's back to his previous role as the distant No. 2 option behind Hall heading into Thursday's game against the Patriots.

Tuten carried four times for five yards and caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans. He also returned five kickoffs for 143 yards.

A week after tying his season high with 10 offensive touches and scoring his third touchdown of the season, Tuten worked as more of a true backup Sunday while setting a season low with just 10 yards from scrimmage. Starter Travis Etienne again dominated the backfield work with 18 touches, leaving Tuten locked into a secondary role.

Holani rushed seven times for 31 yards and a touchdown in the 44-22 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Holani typically stays out of the offensive rotation, as he has played more than three offensive snaps just one other time this year, but the blowout nature of this game meant he handled 11 snaps, scoring his first regular-season touchdown in the process. The 25-year-old running back should revert to a special-teams role in Week 11 versus the Rams.

Ford had one carry for one yard and failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10.

Ford's fall behind rookie Dylan Sampson continued, as the veteran has just two carries and three receptions (five targets) over the last three weeks. He's also fallen out of consideration for return duties, which now belong to Sampson.

Sampson had two carries for minus-4 yards and caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10. He also had four kickoff returns for 104 yards.

The Browns' backfield clearly belongs to Quinshon Judkins, while Sampson has emerged as the No. 2 back ahead of veteran Jerome Ford. For the second consecutive game, Sampson was given more opportunities (22 snaps, three touches, three targets) than Ford (14, one, one). Cleveland has accepted its fate and is looking toward the future, which means a focus on youth for the remainder of a season. Should Judkins get injured, Sampson could earn more than just a handful of touches per game, but for now his fantasy utility is mainly limited to formats that value return yards.

Gordon carried the ball once for minus-3 yards during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Bills.

Gordon was active Sunday despite entering the contest officially listed as questionable due to an ankle injury, but he ceded the No. 2 role to Jaylen Wright, who rushed five times for 17 yards. As has been the case all season, however, it was De'Von Achane who stood out as the offensive engine of the Dolphins' upset divisional win, rushing 22 times for 174 yards and two scores and securing all six of his targets for another 51 receiving yards. Gordon will likely reclaim the top backup gig Week 11 versus the Commanders in Madrid as long as he's back to full health, but Achane's dominance hasn't left much room for any other running back on the roster to emerge as a fantasy contributor.

Robinson took eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for four yards in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Robinson kept his hot play going with another touchdown following his best game of the season against the Giants (5-53-1). The veteran backup actually finished as San Francisco's leading rusher on a day when starter Christian McCaffrey struggled on the ground (2.5 YPC). Robinson maintains a serious cap on touches so long as McCaffrey remains upright. Only desperate managers in deeper formats should consider starting Robinson against the Cardinals next Sunday.
