Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Cardinals' Chase Edmonds: Picks up ankle injury
Edmonds injured his ankle during Sunday's game at San Francisco, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Edmonds limped off the field slowly in the early moments of the contest. At the time of his departure, he had one carry for three yards. As long as Edmonds is sidelined, James Conner will be the Cardinals' lead runner, and with Jonathan Ward (concussion) inactive Sunday, Eno Benjamin is the only other RB available to the offense.

Joe Mixon RB | HOU
Bengals' Joe Mixon: Another two-TD effort
Mixon rushed 13 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns while catching all five of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 41-16 loss to the Browns.
Mixon scored from 11 yards out in the first quarter and again from two yards out in the fourth, but it was all Browns in between. The workhorse running back excelled despite Cincinnati's struggles in this one, once again showing that he can thrive regardless of game flow. Mixon has seven rushing touchdowns in his last seven games and will remain a must-start fantasy option after the Bengals come out of their Week 10 bye.

Gary Brightwell RB | CIN
Giants' Gary Brightwell: Still on COVID-19 list
Brightwell (undisclosed) remains on the reserve/COVID list as of Sunday.
Brightwell was among a number of Giants players and personnel to enter the COVID-19 protocol this week, and while he was listed as questionable Sunday against the Raiders, the team was unable to activate him Saturday, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. With Saquon Barkley (ankle) again inactive, the Giants were left with Devontae Booker, Elijhaa Penny and Cullen Gillaspia out of the backfield for Week 9. Booker ended up injuring his hip during Sunday's 23-16 loss, so if Brightwell can get back to the active roster in the near future he could be a candidate to get some touches on game days.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Has long gain
Hubbard rushed three times for three yards and caught one of two targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.
Hubbard saw his usage scaled back significantly with star Christian McCaffrey returning to the fold. Whereas McCaffrey topped 100 scrimmage yards from his 18 touches, Hubbard was left with only a handful of opportunities, but he at least made good use of his lone reception. As McCaffrey garners more work going forward, expect Hubbard's role to remain restricted, putting him on the backburner after a stretch of success filling in as the starter.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Browns' Nick Chubb: Scores twice in blowout win
Chubb rushed 14 times for 137 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.
Chubb gave the Browns a 14-7 second-quarter lead with a one-yard rushing touchdown, then burst past everybody for a 70-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to put Cleveland up 31-10. While Chubb dominated, D'Ernest Johnson produced just 16 yards on eight rushing attempts. With Kareem Hunt (calf) expected to remain sidelined in Week 10 against the Patriots, Chubb should continue to see the majority of playing time in Cleveland's backfield, especially by the goal line.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Tops 100 scrimmage yards in return
McCaffrey rushed 14 times for 52 yards and caught four of five targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.
McCaffrey, making his first appearance since straining his hamstring in Week 3, contributed most as a receiver with the Panthers trailing in the second half. With consecutive catches of 21, 19 and 17 yards on the same drive, McCaffrey surpassed 100 scrimmage yards in his return to action, compensating for a modest outing on the ground. Although Carolina kept backups Chuba Hubbard and Ameer Abdullah involved, combining for 66 yards on their nine touches, McCaffrey was comfortably his team's most productive offensive player, leading Carolina in receiving despite quarterback Sam Darnold's recent struggles persisting. As coordinator Joe Brady desperately hopes to improve his unit, look for McCaffrey to garner another healthy workload in Week 10 versus the Cardinals.

Damien Harris RB | BUF
Patriots' Damien Harris: Exits Sunday's game
Harris was forced out of Sunday's game against the Panthers with a head injury.
As was fellow running back Rhamondre Stevenson, leaving Brandon Bolden as the team's lone healthy back Sunday, with J.J. Taylor having been made a healthy scratch by the Patriots. Prior to his exit from the game, Harris had logged 15 carries for 30 yards and a TD and caught one pass for three yards.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Departs Sunday's game
Stevenson exited Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a head injury.
Prior to his departure from the contest, Stevenson had logged 10 carries for 62 yards, while adding two catches for 44 yards. Fellow running back Damien Harris also appeared to be shaken up in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, so it looks like the duo figures to land on the team's injury report ahead of next Sunday's game against the Browns.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
49ers' Jeff Wilson: Making season debut in Week 9
Wilson is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
The same can be said for Elijah Mitchell, JaMycal Hasty and Trenton Cannon among 49ers running backs, while Trey Sermon is a healthy scratch. There's uncertainty about how much work Mitchell will be able to handle as he plays through a rib issue that limited him in practice this week, but Wilson is slated to mix in after completing his recovery from May surgery to repair his meniscus. in 28 career contests, Wilson has averaged 4.4 yards per carry, recorded 28 catches and scored 15 total touchdowns.

Zack Moss RB | CIN
Bills' Zack Moss: Exits Sunday's game
Moss is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Prior to that, Moss had recorded three carries for six yards and caught two passes for 18 yards. In his absence, Devin Singletary figures to log added touches out of Buffalo's Week 9 backfield.
