Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Takes back seat in Week 10
Chubb carried the ball five times for 47 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.
Rookie Woody Marks led the Texans' backfield with 16 touches to Chubb's six, but the veteran was still productive on his limited volume. It was the third time this season Chubb has failed to get double-digit carries, as he continues to fall behind Marks in the pecking order. Both backs could pop for big numbers, no matter how the workload is split, in Week 11 against the Titans.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Eclipses 50 total yards in loss
White rushed 10 times for 38 yards and brought in all five targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
The Patriots' league-best run defense unsurprisingly made life difficult for White on the ground, limiting him to a long run of seven yards. Game script eventually also tilted toward the pass for Tampa Bay, and White was a beneficiary thanks to his versatility. The veteran back continued to fill the lead role -- although by only a single carry Sunday -- in the ongoing absence of Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), and he finished with a season-high catch total as well. Considering Irving has yet to return to practice, White could well be heavily involved again in a Week 11 road matchup versus the Bills.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Gets 11 touches in Week 10
Singletary rushed eight times for 20 yards and caught all three of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.
Singletary ceded most of the rushing workload to Tyrone Tracy (14 carries for 71 yards), but the former finished with a two-yard advantage in scrimmage yards (73 to 71). Most of Singletary's yardage came on a 41-yard catch on a fourth-quarter pass from Russell Wilson, who came into the game after Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion in the second half. Singletary should continue to platoon with Tracy, but expectations for the Giants' offense would be low if Dart doesn't play in Week 11 against the Packers.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Team's leading rusher in Week 10
Tracy rushed 14 times for 71 yards and caught one of two targets for no gain in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.
Neither Tracy nor Devin Singletary found any running room in the first half, but Tracy was far more effective on the ground in the second half, while Singletary finished the game with just eight carries for 20 yards. Quarterback Jaxson Dart carried the offense prior to departing due to a concussion to end the third quarter. If the Giants are forced to turn to Russell Wilson under center in Week 11, the entire offense's ceiling would be lower against a stout Packers defense, though Tracy's arrow is pointing up with the backfield workload distribution shifting in his favor.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Gets into end zone in loss
Etienne carried the ball 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown and caught two of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans.
The fourth-year RB produced the Jaguars' last score of the afternoon on a six-yard run in the third quarter, giving the team a 29-10 lead that shockingly evaporated in the fourth. Etienne ended a four-game TD drought in the process, and on the season he's amassed 786 scrimmage yards and four total touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving) through nine contests. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 11 against the Chargers.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Just four touches in Week 10
Hubbard carried the ball three times for 14 yards and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.
The touch and yardage totals were season lows for Hubbard, as he continues to see a massively reduced role with Rico Dowdle getting a look as the clear top option in the Carolina backfield. Hubbard might need an injury to Dowdle to have real fantasy relevance again, as he's managed only 32 scrimmage yards total over the last two games. Hubbard may not need a lot of touches to make a splash in Week 11 against a Falcons defense that just got torched by Jonathan Taylor for 244 rushing yards and three TDs.

Rico Dowdle RB | PIT
Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Finds end zone in Week 10 loss
Dowdle carried the ball 18 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.
The yardage total was Dowdle's lowest since he took on a significant role in the Panthers' backfield in Week 5, but he did score his fifth rushing TD of the season on a five-yard dash in the first quarter for the team's only score. Over his last six games, Dowdle has piled up 705 rushing yards and four touchdowns while adding a 13-122-1 receiving line on 17 targets. He'll look to staying productive in Week 11 against the Falcons.

Quinshon Judkins RB | CLE
Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Gets 24 touches in loss
Judkins rushed 22 times for 75 yards and caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
Judkins was battling a shoulder injury prior to Cleveland's Week 9 bye, but he handled a healthy workload against the Jets, coming one touch shy of his career-high 25. The rookie second-round pick is the clear No. 1 option in the backfield for the Browns heading into a Week 11 home game against the Ravens. Baltimore beat the Browns by 24 points back in Week 2, and Judkins' rushing workload could be limited again if the rematch plays out similarly.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Breaks off two long runs in win
Henderson rushed 14 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns while also bringing in his sole target for three yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Henderson's career-best rushing yardage total was largely the result of 55- and 69-yard touchdown runs in the second half, plays on which the rookie's signature speed was on full display. Henderson filled the clear lead-back role in the road victory, as backfield mate Terrell Jennings exited the contest with a knee injury. Given his performance Sunday and the short turnaround for a Week 11 Thursday night matchup against the Jets, it appears Henderson will continue enjoying virtually full control of the backfield for that divisional contest.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Ravens' Derrick Henry: Limited production on 20 carries
Henry rushed the ball 20 times for 75 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings. He added three receptions on three targets for nine yards.
Henry saw at least 20 carries for the third time in his last four games, though he struggled to find much running room. He had long gains of 14 and 13 yards, but nine of his 20 rushing attempts went for two or fewer yards. Henry has now been held below 100 rushing yards in six of nine games for the campaign, with his six touchdowns propping up his fantasy value.
