  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Extends TD streak to five games

    Jacobs carried the ball 17 times for 87 yards and a touchdown and caught four of five targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

    The former Raider continues to thrive as a Packer. Jacobs' one-yard TD run in the fourth quarter tied the contest at 13-13 and extended his personal scoring streak to five games, a stretch in which he's amassed 354 rushing yards and eight TDs. Sunday's loss also marked his third game this season with 100-plus scrimmage yards. Jacobs will likely be leaned on heavily once again in a Week 10 battle against the Eagles, especially with the Packers having seen Tucker Kraft (knee) and Matthew Golden (shoulder) go down to injuries against the Panthers.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Accrues 37 total yards in win

    Mason rushed 10 times for 36 yards and brought in his only target for one yard in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Mason opened the game splitting work as customary with Aaron Jones, but the latter's exit early in the third quarter due to a shoulder injury afforded more opportunity for the former. Mason still found running room mostly at a premium against a talented Lions run defense, and while Jones' inability to return to the game would seemingly portend a potentially serious injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports the veteran back has an AC joint sprain and believes he'll be available for a Week 10 home matchup against the Ravens.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Five touches as backup

    Hubbard carried the ball five times for 17 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

    As expected, Rico Dowdle took over as the No. 1 back for Carolina rather than working in a timeshare with Hubbard, and he turned 25 totes into 130 rushing yards and two TDs. It's the first time Hubbard has failed to get double-digit carries in a game when healthy since Week 1 of 2024, but it likely won't be the last as Dowdle continues to build job security in the starting role. Hubbard's best chance of making an impact in Week 10 might be if the Panthers can build a big lead at home against the Saints, offering the potential for some garbage-time touches.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Out-touched 10-8 by Singletary

    Tracy rushed five times for 18 yards and caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers.

    Tracy ceded the slight majority of work to Devin Singletary, who turned 10 touches into 51 scrimmage yards. Tracy worked ahead of Singletary for most of the former's rookie season in 2024, but the Giants may employ a more even split in 2025 following Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle injury. The workload distribution between Tracy and Singletary will remain worth monitoring in Week 10 against the Bears.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | CAR

    Panthers' Rico Dowdle: Carries offense in upset win

    Dowdle carried the ball 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

    The 27-year-old celebrated being anointed as the Panthers' clear No. 1 RB by delivering another massive performance, capped by a five-yard score in the second quarter and a one-yard plunge across the goal line in the third. Dowdle has amassed 652 rushing yards and three TDs over the last five games, while adding a 10-112-1 line on 14 targets through the air, and he figures to see a heavy workload again in Week 10 against the Saints.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Racks up 173 totals yards, two TDs

    McCaffrey rushed 28 times for 106 yards and a touchdown while catching five of six targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.

    McCaffrey got wide open for a five-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and powered in a three-yard touchdown run in the fourth. The star running back has produced multi-touchdown performances in two of his last three games, sandwiched around McCaffrey's worst outing of the season (68 scrimmage yards against Houston in Week 8). He has at least 107 scrimmage yards in all but one appearance this season. Backup Brian Robinson rushed for 53 yards on his five carries, including an 18-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but McCaffrey continues to operate in a workhorse role, averaging 25.4 touches per game heading into a Week 10 home game against the Rams.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Won't be back Sunday

    Perine (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

    With the Bengals on bye next week, Perine's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 16 against the Steelers. In his absence Sunday, Tahj Brooks is next in line for backfield work behind starter Chase Brown. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Gary Brightwell and Kendall Milton are currently members of Cincinnati's practice squad.

  • Chiefs' Elijah Mitchell: Inactive Sunday

    Mitchell is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    With Mitchell a healthy scratch and Isiah Pacheco (knee) having previously been ruled out, look for Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith to lead the Chiefs' Week 9 backfield, with practice squad elevation Clyde Edwards-Helaire also available to mix in.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Suffers shoulder injury

    Jones hurt his shoulder during Sunday's contest in Detroit.

    After a three-yard run at the start of the third quarter, Jones went to the medical tent and has remained there since then. He was sitting on nine carries for 78 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 20 yards at the time he exited. Jordan Mason is poised for more work for as long as Jones is on the sideline.

  • Jarquez Hunter RB | LAR

    Rams' Jarquez Hunter: Won't play against New Orleans

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

    Hunter will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive game as the Rams roll with a three-man backfield in Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and practice squad running back Ronnie Rivers. Hunter's next opportunity to play is Week 10 against the 49ers on Sunday, Nov. 9.
