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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mason rushed the ball four times for 25 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens. He added one reception on one target for six yards.

Mason had maintained at least an even split with Aaron Jones when both are healthy this campaign, but he matched his season low in touches Sunday. Jones out-touched Mason 12-5, including both a goal-line opportunity and the majority of targets to the position. Given that Jones was questionable with a shoulder injury heading into the game, the workload split doesn't seem to bode well for Mason going forward.

Knight sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's contest at Seattle.

At the time he exited in the fourth quarter, Knight was pacing the Cardinals with 10 carries but accrued only 28 yards on those rushes. Plus, he had one catch (on four targets) for five yards and returned four kickoffs for 79 yards. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter are the remaining healthy running backs that are available on Arizona's active roster.

Rodriguez hurt his shoulder during Sunday's game versus the Lions.

Rodriguez jogged to the locker room in the second half and eventually was termed questionable to return. If he stays off the field, he'll end Week 10 action with six carries for 16 yards and one touchdown while getting no targets in the passing game. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols are the healthy and available running backs on the Commanders' active roster.

Jones rushed the ball nine times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens. He added three receptions on six targets for 22 yards.

Jones' line doesn't stand out on the surface, but he served as Minnesota's clear lead back -- a departure from the split the Vikings have used to this point in the season. He out-touched Jordan Mason 12-5 for the game, which included the majority of targets and the team's lone running back touch at the goal line. Jones took advantage of the latter opportunity by punching in a four-yard touchdown for his first trip to the end zone this season. The Vikings were forced to utilize a pass-heavy offense while chasing the score, but Jones could be in line for heavier workloads moving forward.

Marks carried the ball 14 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville.

The rookie RB led the Texans' backfield with 16 touches (to Nick Chubb's six) and 81 scrimmage yards to the veteran's 52, and Marks capped his strong performance with a one-yard TD plunge in the second quarter. He's seen double-digit carries in four straight games as he continues to push his way to the top of the depth chart, and Marks could deliver another big performance in Week 11 against the Titans -- a defense he erupted for 119 combined yards and two touchdowns against in Week 4.
