  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Bounces back via MVP-caliber effort

    Taylor rushed 32 times for 244 yards and three touchdowns while bringing in all three targets for 42 yards in the Colts' 31-25 overtime win against the Falcons on Sunday in Berlin.

    The highlights of yet another memorable day for Taylor were his final two touchdowns, which consisted of an 83-yard run with just over six minutes remaining in regulation and the game-winning eight-yard scamper up the middle in overtime. Taylor's yardage total fell just short of the career-high 253 he gained against the Jaguars as a rookie back in January 2021, and it served as his third tally of more than 150 yards already this season. Taylor also now has four three-touchdown performances in his MVP-caliber 2025 campaign, and he'll have a Week 11 bye to take a breath before returning to action in a Week 12 road showdown against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 23.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Finds end zone twice in OT loss

    Allgeier carried the ball 11 times for 57 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.

    The backup RB scored one-yard TDs in the first and fourth quarters as he continues to take red-zone work away from Bijan Robinson. Robinson led the Falcons with 84 rushing yards on the day but didn't get into the end zone, and he has only two rushing touchdowns in nine games compared to Allgeier's six. It was also Allgeier's first multi-TD performance since Week 1 of the 2023 season. as long as he continues to see heavy usage in the red zone and at the goal line, Allgeier will have some fantasy utility even though Sunday was only the third time this season he's topped 50 rushing yards in a game.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Cedes red-zone work to Allgeier

    Robinson carried the ball 17 times for 84 yards and caught both his targets for four yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.

    While the third-year back posted his best rushing yardage total since Week 6, he was denied a much bigger performance, as Tyler Allgeier punched in a pair of one-yard TDs in his place. Robinson hasn't scored a rushing touchdown in four straight games, his longest drought since his rookie season, as a result of the increased red-zone usage for his backup, and he has just two rushing scores on the year compared to Allgeier's six. Robinson will try to hit paydirt in Week 11 against the Panthers, a team he's scored five total touchdowns against (four on the ground, one through the air) in five career meetings.

  • Corey Kiner RB | ARI

    Vikings' Corey Kiner: Inactive against Baltimore

    Kiner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Kiner was elevated to the active roster Saturday for the scenario in which starting running back Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) was unable to suit up. With Jones active for Sunday's contest, Kiner ends up a healthy scratch against the Ravens.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Suiting up for Week 10

    Wright is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Wright has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, but he'll suit up Sunday -- marking his third time garnering active status on the campaign. The move likely comes as insurance for Ollie Gordon, who is active Sunday but has been limited in practice throughout the week by an ankle injury. Wright isn't likely to see much opportunity so long as both De'Von Achane and Gordon remain healthy.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Ready to play Sunday

    Swift (groin/personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    After he was sidelined for the first time all season in the Bears' Week 9 win over the Bengals, Swift returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant. He appeared to clear up any lingering concern about the health of his groin by practicing fully Thursday, but he ended up taking a questionable tag into Sunday after a personal matter kept him off the field for the Bears' final session of the week Friday. Though Swift is now ready to play ahead of Sunday's contest and isn't expected to be operating with any restrictions in his return to the lineup, he could be at risk of ceding more work to No. 2 back Kyle Monangai, who broke out with 198 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 29 touches in the victory over the Bengals. Head coach Ben Johnson suggested Friday that he would likely take a hot-hand approach to the backfield between Swift and Monangai during Sunday's contest, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.

  • Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ

    Jets' Khalil Herbert: Won't play vs. Cleveland

    Herbert (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    A groin issue limited Herbert's practice participation Thursday and Friday, and the injury is severe enough for the fifth-year pro to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Kene Nwangwu will be available as the Jets' RB3 behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis in Herbert's absence. Herbert will look to be available for the Jets' Week 11 clash against the Patriots on Thursday.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Active in Week 10

    Kamara (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at Carolina.

    Kamara has toughed out an ankle injury for more than a month at this point, but despite being available for each of the last four games, he turned 44 touches into just 167 yards from scrimmage and no TDs, while his snap share ranged from 51 to 84 percent during that span. Since Devin Neal took over the No. 2 RB role from Kendre Miller (torn ACL) as of Week 8, the former has only seven touches for 23 total yards in two contests, so Kamara remains the top option out of the Saints backfield.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Ready for Week 10

    Gordon (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Gordon suffered an ankle injury that caused him to miss the second half of Miami's Week 9 loss to the Ravens. However, he managed to log three limited practices in preparation for the matchup against Buffalo, which was enough for him to suit up. Gordon should get a handful of carries while serving as De'Von Achane's backup.

  • Rasheen Ali RB | BAL

    Ravens' Rasheen Ali: Healthy scratch Week 10

    Ali (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Ali worked exclusively on special teams in the two games since the Ravens' Week 7 bye. He will be a sideline observer for Sunday's game in Minnesota as the Ravens go with three running backs on the active roster in Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell. Ali's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 16.
