  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Opportunities capped in loss

    Cook rushed 13 times for 53 yards and brought in all five targets for 24 yards in the Bills' 30-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Cook was involved as a receiver at his highest clip since Week 1, as the Bills were already down 16-0 at halftime and therefore were in catch-up mode throughout the second half. The talented back did run hard with his limited opportunities on the ground, but he finished tied for a season low in carries and also lost a fumble in Dolphins territory early in the second quarter that helped lead to a Miami field goal. The downturn was drastic after Cook had rushed for 330 yards and two touchdowns over the previous two games, but he'll look to bounce back in Week 11 at home against a typically stingy Buccaneers run defense that showed some cracks against the Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson on Sunday.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Carries offense in Week 10 win

    Hall rushed 21 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for a 42-yard touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

    Hall took a screen pass to the house for a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Jets' two longest offensive plays besides that touchdown were runs of 30 and 22 yards by Hall. After having zero touchdowns through seven games, Hall has produced two rushing touchdowns, a receiving score and a touchdown pass across his last two outings. He should continue to lead the Jets' run-heavy offense Thursday against the Patriots.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Standout performance in upset win

    Achane rushed 22 times for 174 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all six targets for 51 yards in the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.

    Achane was a central figure in the Dolphins' jaw-dropping upset victory, spearheading the offense with 59- and 35-yard touchdown runs on his way to a season-high tally on the ground. The versatile third-year back also notched a second straight six-catch effort, and he's recorded at least 67 rushing yards in five consecutive contests after a season-low 16-yard effort versus the Panthers in Week 5. Achane remains a must-start option in all formats heading into the Week 11 matchup against the Commanders in Madrid next Sunday.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Tops 100 scrimmage yards Sunday

    Kamara carried the ball 22 times for 83 yards and caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Panthers.

    The veteran RB topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time since Week 2, snapping a string of five straight games in which he didn't even reach 40 rushing yards. Kamara is still looking for his first TD since Week 1, but it was still an encouraging sign, as was the fact that rookie quarterback Tyler Shough got the passing game going. Kamara will get a breather during next week's bye before taking on the Falcons in Week 12.

  • Kyle Monangai RB | CHI

    Bears' Kyle Monangai: Gets seven touches to Swift's 18

    Monangai rushed seven times for 28 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.

    Monangai broke out for 198 scrimmage yards against the Bengals in Week 9 but was outplayed by D'Andre Swift (groin) in Swift's return from a one-game absence in Week 10. The rookie seventh-round pick out of Rutgers opened the scoring with an eight-yard touchdown run in the first quarter but was out-touched, 18-7, by Swift. Head coach Ben Johnson may be attempting to replicate the backfield formula he used as the Lions' offensive coordinator the previous couple seasons, with the 5-foot-8, 207-pound Monangai providing power inside a la David Montgomery while Swift's used in a more versatile role like Jahmyr Gibbs. Swift is still the top option for the Bears, but Monangai should remain involved in Week 11 against the Vikings.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Reclaims lead role in return

    Swift (groin/personal) rushed 13 times for 80 yards and caught five of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.

    Swift returned from a one-game absence due to a groin injury and out-touched Kyle Monangai 18-7, retaining the lead role in Chicago's backfield. Monangai scored an eight-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, but Swift produced a few highlights of his own on the ground, including a 25-yard scamper and a nine-yard run on fourth-and-2 on the same second-quarter drive. Swift also finished second on the team in targets, so he's well-positioned to maintain a heavy workload regardless of game flow in Week 11 against the Vikings.

  • Jarquez Hunter RB | LAR

    Rams' Jarquez Hunter: Healthy scratch Week 10

    Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Week 10 will be third game in a row that Hunter is a healthy scratch, with Ronnie Rivers serving as the Rams' RB3 behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Hunter's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 16.

  • Lions' Craig Reynolds: Returning for Week 10

    Reynolds (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Reynolds is returning to his No. 3 running back role after a one-game absence due to the injury. He has just three carries for four yards and no touchdowns in six games this year.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Won't return Sunday

    Jennings (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Jennings thus finishes the contest with four carries for five yards. The Patriots play again Thursday night against the Jets, so Jennings' status for that game currently looks cloudy given the short turnaround. Given that Rhamondre Stevenson is still dealing with a toe injury, D'Ernest Johnson could end up backing up TreVeyon Henderson in Week 11.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Hurts knee Sunday

    Jennings was forced out of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a knee injury, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Jennings carried four times for five yards. In his absence, fellow RB D'Ernest Johnson is available to work behind TreVeyon Henderson.
