Herbert had one carry for zero yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

In the two games since David Montgomery returned to the Bears lineup, Herbert has been an afterthought in the offense. His fantasy value will likely remain low unless Montgomery should miss time.

Sanders (ankle) rushed 16 times for 94 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Eagles' 40-29 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

The turnover was a blemish, but Sanders otherwise provided his most encouraging performance of the season under circumstances replete with irony. After receiving plenty of criticism early in the season for Sanders' sparse usage on the ground, head coach Nick Sirianni opted to give the third-year back his heaviest workload of the campaign against a defense that came in ranked as the league's toughest on a yards-per-game basis against the run, and in Sanders' first game back from a three-game absence to boot. Moreover, Sanders then parlayed that opportunity into a season-high tally in rushing yards, certainly giving fantasy managers who stuck with him through his IR stint a welcome surprise. A Week 12 road matchup against the Giants shapes up as his first opportunity to build on what might be a season-changing performance for him.

Robinson ran for 29 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries while catching two passes for nine yards on three targets against San Francisco on Sunday.

Robinson probably did about as well as anyone could in the dysfunctional Jacksonville offense, but overall the Jags predictably struggled against the 49ers and Robinson was less efficient with his carries than usual. It's somewhat encouraging for his fantasy investors that the Jaguars appear to be willing to stick with Robinson, even in garbage time. The opposite would be concerning given how often the Jaguars find themselves in lopsided game scripts. Their Week 12 matchup with the Falcons might be an exception -- Atlanta's defense is shaky enough to serve as a favorable scenario for Robinson to thrive in.

McKinnon (hamstring) is questionable to return Sunday against the Cowboys, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

McKinnon didn't record a touch before suffering a hamstring injury that forced him to leave the Chiefs' Week 11 contest in the first half. If McKinnon is unable to return, Clyde Edwards-Helaire -- who Kansas City got back from IR this week -- and Darrel Williams will be the only healthy running backs on the Chiefs roster.

Taylor rushed 32 times for 185 yards and four touchdowns and brought in all three targets for 19 yards and another score in the Colts' 41-15 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Much like in Week 10 against the Jaguars, Taylor got off to a fast start by capping off the Colts' first drive with a three-yard touchdown run, but this time around, he was able to keep up his stellar production for all four quarters despite the extremely difficult matchup. Taylor finished off Indianapolis' next possession with another score, a nifty 23-yard catch and run that saw him deftly elude multiple defenders, and he went on to notch additional rushing touchdowns of one, two and 10 yards. Taylor became the first back this season to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark on the ground, and both his carry and rushing yardage totals were season highs. The MVP candidate will take what now is an eight-game touchdown streak into a Week 12 home matchup against a Buccaneers squad that, on paper, boasts an even tougher run defense than Buffalo's.

Gibson rushed 19 times for 95 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.

Gibson got it going on the ground in the second half after rushing just five times for 19 yards prior to halftime. However, Gibson's improvement only came after he coughed the ball up in the red zone during the first quarter. The tailback also wasn't targeted for the first time this season, further restricting his output. Although Sunday still marked his highest rushing total of the campaign, Gibson's overall performance could've been slightly better without his fumble and with some passing-game involvement. He'll strive to put it all together in Week 12 versus the Seahawks.

Montgomery rushed 14 times for 58 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Montgomery had most of his production in the first half, but despite playing in a close game throughout, the Bears chose to go with a pass-heavy approach that kept his volume in check. Regardless, he handled 15 of the 16 touches by the Chicago running backs, and he should continue to retain one of the highest snap shares for any running back leaguewide.

McCaffrey rushed 10 times for 59 yards and caught seven of eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.

McCaffrey tied the game with a leaping, 27-yard touchdown grab to begin the fourth quarter, his first score since Week 2. The tailback has hauled in at least seven passes in both of his outings since returning from injury, again leading the Panthers through the air Sunday. Although quarterback Cam Newton tied McCaffrey with 10 carries, going for 46 yards and a touchdown, McCaffrey still was efficient with his workload, making for another strong all-around showing. Next up for McCaffrey is a favorable matchup against the Dolphins in Week 12.

Gore (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Cowboys, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Gore won't be needed for now with the return of Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee). Gore chipped in 10-plus snaps of offense each of the last three weeks, netting 20 carries for 80 yards and a touchdown. He'll likely need another injury to the Chiefs backfield to see the field again this season.

Carter was forced out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins with an ankle injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Carter had logged nine carries for 63 yards and caught his only target for two yards. In his absence, Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson are next up for the Jets' carries.
