  • 49ers' Brian Robinson: Scores in consecutive games

    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.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Works as No. 2 back in upset win

    Wright carried the ball five times for 17 yards during Miami's 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.

    Wright operated as the No. 2 option behind De'Von Achane in Week 10, as Ollie Gordon, who entered the contest questionable due to an ankle issue, rushed just once for minus-3 yards. If Gordon is fully healthy to face the Commanders overseas in Madrid in Week 11, he figures to reclaim the top backup role behind Achane, but it was nonetheless encouraging to see Wright active for the third time in the last four weeks, after he had been a healthy scratch to begin the season. Of course, Achane -- who racked up 225 yards from scrimmage and two scores on 28 touches -- remains the sole dominant fantasy contributor in the Dolphins' backfield.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Remains involved against SF

    Corum took 13 carries for 56 yards without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco.

    Corum received double-digit touches for the third game in a row as the Rams' offense continued to toy with opposing defenses. Kyren Williams (14-73-2) still led the Rams' backfield in production while maintaining his elite fantasy status, but Corum has quietly carved out a consistent change-of-pace role during Los Angeles' hot stretch of play. With just one touchdown over nine appearances, the talented backup's recent increase in playing time only benefits those in deeper formats for next Sunday's tilt against the Seahawks.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Accrues seven touches Sunday

    Neal tallied four rushes for 22 yards and gathered in all three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 17-7 win against the Panthers.

    Neal operated as the Saints' RB2 behind Alvin Kamara for the second week in a row. The Saints' offense bounced back after last week's dreadful performance in a loss to the Rams, and Kamara powered the running game with a season-high 22 carries for 83 yards. Neal hasn't seen much usage over the last two games, as Taysom Hill has continued to cycle in as a rushing quarterback in short-yardage and goal-line situations. The 22-year-old Neal's next opportunity will come after the Saints' Week 11 bye, when they face the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 23.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Totals 91 yards

    Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 70 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers. He added two receptions on two targets for 21 yards.

    Warren accounted for 14 of the 16 carries by Pittsburgh's running backs, as Kenneth Gainwell was phased almost entirely out of the offense. That allowed Warren to record his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season, and he was one of the few bright spots in the offense. Warren hasn't found the end zone consistently this season, but his role has improved as the season has progressed.

  • 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.
