  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Titans' D'Onta Foreman: Struggles against Texans

    Foreman recorded seven carries for 25 yards in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans. He added one reception for 15 yards

    A week after leading the Titans in carries, Foreman slipped behind Adrian Peterson's workload of nine carries. That could have been in part due to Foreman's ineffectiveness, as he managed to average 3.6 yards per carry with his longest rush going for a gain of only nine. Since joining the Titans in Week 9, Foreman has recorded 23 carries for 84 yards across three games.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Leading rusher in loss

    Pollard carried the ball seven times for 50 yards and caught both his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.

    He wound up leading the Cowboys in rushing yards and scrimmage yards on the day, seeing extra touches after Ezekiel Elliott briefly left the game due to a knee injury. With a short week before facing the Raiders on Thanksgiving, Pollard could be in line for a bigger workload Thursday, even if Elliott is able to suit up.

  • Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Aggravates knee injury Sunday

    Elliott carried the ball nine times for 32 yards and caught all six of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City, but he briefly left the game with a lower-body injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    While he tied for the team lead in receptions, Tony Pollard led the team in rushing yards and Elliott left the game after getting his leg trapped under a tackler along the sidelines in the first half. He was able to return to action, however, and Zeke didn't seem concerned about the injury affecting his availability for a Thanksgiving Day clash with the Raiders, per Machota. "Just the same knee, the same knee injury I've been dealing with. It's feeling better, but I rolled up on it, and kind of hurt it. Overall, it's definitely getting better," Elliott said after the game. With Amari Cooper (COVID-19) already ruled out for Thursday and CeeDee Lamb suffering a concussion in Sunday's loss, Dallas can ill afford to lose their star running back as well.

  • Kenyan Drake RB | GB

    Raiders' Kenyan Drake: Little usage again Sunday

    Drake carried the ball five times for 23 yards and caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.

    For the second straight game, Drake managed only a half-dozen touches and failed to do much with his limited opportunities. He also failed to catch multiple passes for the first time since Week 5, but game script wasn't in his favor Sunday as the Raiders' offense didn't see a lot of the ball and didn't fall behind by more than one score until the fourth quarter. Drake could see more action in a Thanksgiving Day clash with the Cowboys, but he remains a risky fantasy option.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Modest numbers in loss

    Jacobs carried the ball nine times for 37 yards and caught five of seven targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.

    While he saw his usual touch volume and hauled in at least three passes for the sixth time in the last seven games, Jacobs didn't produce much in the way of yardage and failed to get into the end zone for the third straight contest. Perhaps not coincidentally, the Raiders have lost all three. He'll look to snap that scoring drought in a Thanksgiving Day clash with the Cowboys.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Big day in Vegas

    Mixon carried the ball 30 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.

    He didn't see a target for only the second time all season, but it was a small price to pay for his first triple-digit rushing performance since Week 1 and his third straight multi-TD game. Mixon has already set new career highs with nine rushing and 11 total touchdowns on the season, and he's gotten into the end zone in seven straight contests -- a streak he'll look to extend in Week 12 against the Steelers.

  • Tony Jones RB | ARI

    Saints' Tony Jones: Minimal role in return to lineup

    Jones rushed three times for two yards during Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles.

    In his first game back from an ankle injury, Jones barely saw any work despite the absence of Alvin Kamara (knee). Instead, Mark Ingram (24 combined carries and targets) almost exclusively carried the load. Even if Kamara remains sidelined in Week 12 against Buffalo, Jones does not seem like an advisable fantasy option in any format.

  • Lions' Godwin Igwebuike: Role shrinks in Williams' return

    Igwebuike caught his only target for negative four yards during Sunday's 13-10 loss to Cleveland.

    Despite the absence of Jermar Jefferson (ankle/knee), the return of No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams kept Igwebuike in a tertiary role. As long as Williams and D'Andre Swift maintain their health, the converted safety won't be seeing much, if any, offensive work on game days.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Another workhorse showing

    Conner ran for 62 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries while catching five passes for 37 yards on six targets against Seattle on Sunday.

    Colt McCoy starting in place of Kyler Murray (ankle) allowed the Seahawks to allocate extra resources toward slowing Conner on the ground, but the touchdown and strong pass-catching usage made it yet another strong fantasy showing for Conner overall. The Cardinals have a bye in Week 12 and Chase Edmonds (ankle) might be back not long after that, but Conner should get another three-down start against Chicago in Week 13. Conner was valuable even before Edmonds' injury, so the former Steeler could stay high in the weekly rankings going forward.

  • Lions' Jamaal Williams: Seven carries in return to lineup

    Williams rushed seven times for 11 yards during Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

    Williams ran hard in his return to the lineup, but he was bottled up while D'Andre Swift totaled 136 rushing yards on 14 carries. With Swift playing so well lately, it may be hard for Williams to return to the 12.7 total carries and targets he averaged in seven games before hurting his groin. However, Jared Goff (ribs) may remain sidelined in Week 12 against Chicago, and Tim Boyle totaled just 77 passing yards in his place. Such limited success may given Detroit no choice but to commit to the run game, and Williams would be an obvious beneficiary as he further distances himself from his multi-week groin injury.
