Gore recorded nine rushes for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-9 win over Las Vegas. He added two receptions for 23 yards.

Gore had only one carry and one target at halftime, though he got extended run in the final two quarters with Kansas City comfortably ahead. He recorded the team's longest gain of the day on a 51-yard rush to the end zone in the middle of the fourth quarter. Gore is likely to serve as the Chiefs' third running back moving forward, but this type of workload shouldn't be projected for what figures to be a closer matchup in Week 15 against Los Angeles.

Williams carried the ball twice for eight yards in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders. He added three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown.

Williams was out-carried by both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Derrick Gore, though the latter's usage was largely due to garbage time. Williams did his primary damage through the air, with the highlight coming on a 23-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter. Despite posting over 80 yards in Kansas City's Week 13 contest and registering strong results Sunday, Williams has not surpassed eight total touches in any of his three games since Edwards-Helaire returned.

Mixon carried the ball 18 times for 58 yards and caught both his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

For the first time since Week 3, Mixon failed to get into the end zone as his nine-game TD streak got snapped. He also didn't sniff 100 scrimmage yards for the second consecutive contest, after reaching that mark in three straight. Mixon still reached 1,000 rushing yards for the season, the third time in his career he's accomplished that feat, and he'll look to get back to his scoring ways in Week 15 against the Broncos.

Wilson carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bengals.

He led the Niners in carries and rushing yards as JaMycal Hasty and Kyle Juszczyk were confined to pass-catching duties, but it was Deebo Samuel who had the team's only rushing TD on the day. Wilson's modest fantasy value is tied to the health of Elijah Mitchell (concussion) heading into a Week 15 clash with the Falcons.

Singletary rushed four times for 52 yards and secured six of seven targets for 37 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Bills barely bothered to run the ball in conventional fashion against the Buccaneers' nearly impenetrable front, with Josh Allen easily serving as the team's most productive performer on the ground. However, Singletary was able to rip off a 29-yard run and was highly efficient with his three other carries as well, leading to his best rushing yardage total since Week 4. His reception total was also his second highest of the season, making it a productive fantasy day overall in a game where Buffalo focused heavily on the pass. Singletary should have a chance at a more robust workload on the ground in a Week 15 home matchup against the Panthers.

Williams carried the ball 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for 10 yards and another TD in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

The rookie looked like he might be get another game as the undisputed lead back for Denver after Melvin Gordon suffered a hand injury early in the first quarter, but the veteran RB quickly returned to action and wound up scoring two TDs of his own while leading the Broncos in scrimmage yards. Williams' numbers were hardly disappointing though, as he opened the scoring with a five-yard run in the opening frame before hauling in his TD pass in the third quarter, giving him four touchdowns in the last three games. Gordon isn't expected to miss any action due to his latest injury, leaving Williams in a timeshare once again in Week 15 against the Bengals.

Gordon carried the ball 24 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

The veteran back came into the game nursing hip and shoulder injuries that kept him on the sidelines last week, and Gordon seemed like he could end up missing most of another contest after he suffered a hand injury early in Sunday's action. He quickly returned to the field, however, and turned in arguably his most productive effort of the season as the Broncos steamrolled the short-handed Lions. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Gordon doesn't expect his latest injury to cost him any time, so he should again be a big part of the game plan in Week 15 against the Bengals.

Reynolds carried the ball 11 times for 83 yards and caught both his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson were expected to lead the Detroit backfield in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19), but instead it was Reynolds who emerged as the most effective rusher for the team just one day after being promoted from the practice squad. He came into Sunday with only two career touches in the NFL, both coming at the end of last season for the Jaguars, but the 25-year-old may have earned a permanent spot on the Lions' roster for the rest of 2021 with this performance. Whether he has any further fantasy value will depend on how quickly Swift and Williams are back in the lineup, however.

Ekeler (ankle) is expected to be fine moving forward and coach Brandon Staley said after Sunday's 37-21 win over the Giants that Ekeler could have returned to the game if necessary, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ekeler exited in the third quarter, and the Chargers didn't see a need to push him with the game well in hand. Staley's post-game comments suggest the star running back is unlikely to miss additional time, but Ekeler's participation in practice leading up to Thursday's game against the Chiefs will still bear monitoring, as the short week falls at an inconvenient time for the banged-up Ekeler. Fellow running backs Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley saw a near-even split in opportunities against the Giants, with 42 scrimmage yards on 10 touches and 38 yards on 11 touches, respectively.

Barkley ran for 64 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 31 yards and one touchdown on three targets against the Chargers on Sunday.

The per-carry returns were slightly disappointing against a Chargers defense that normally struggles to contain the ground game, but it was encouraging to see Barkley take up a big workload in his fourth game back from his major Week 5 ankle injury. In Week 15 Barkley gets a rematch against the Dallas defense that he was injured against in that ill-fated Week 5 game.
