Derrick Gore RB | WAS
Chiefs' Derrick Gore: Just three carries in Week 9
Gore ran for 14 yards on three rushes and reeled in his lone target for six yards Sunday versus the Packers.
Gore didn't see anywhere near the involvement in Week 9 that he saw the contest prior, when he logged 11 touches. Gore is still firmly behind Darrel Williams in the pecking order and figures to fall further down the depth chart once Clyde Edwards-Helaire is ready to return from injured reserve.

Joshua Kelley RB | TEN
Chargers' Joshua Kelley: Sees more playing time
Kelley carried the ball three times for six yards and caught his only target for four yards in the 27-24 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Kelley became the No. 2 running back as Justin Jackson was out with a quad injury. Kelley and rookie sixth-round pick Larry Rountree have oscillated as the primary short-yardage ball carriers throughout the season without much rhyme or reason. With Jackson's status still up in the air, Kelley could be looking at more snaps in the upcoming weeks.

Benny Snell RB | DET
Steelers' Benny Snell: Limited work against Bears
Snell totaled two carries for six yards in Monday's 29-27 win over the Bears.
Snell was on the field for just two offensive snaps in Monday's victory, but he recorded double-digit touches for the first time since Week 5. The 23-year-old has tallied just 10 carries for 27 yards while hauling in one of three targets for seven yards across the first 10 games of the year.

Salvon Ahmed RB | CHI
Dolphins' Salvon Ahmed: Barely utilized Week 9
Ahmed had four carries for six yards during the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Ahmed, as usual, was relegated to a clear backup role. Meanwhile, Myles Gaskin had 20 carries and six targets during Sunday's win, though he only racked up 34 rushing yards. Ahmed hasn't logged a single game with double-digit touches this season.
-
Khalil Herbert RB | ATL
Bears' Khalil Herbert: Just four carries as backup
Herbert rushed four times for 13 yards in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers.
Herbert saw veteran David Montgomery return from a four-game absence to lead Chicago's backfield with 15 touches for 80 yards. Although the rookie got three carries during the first half, he was hardly involved during the second, taking a back seat to Montgomery as the Bears staged a comeback attempt. Given Herbert's production while Montgomery was previously sidelined, it's possible he's incorporated more in the offense following the team's Week 10 bye, but Herbert's stock has clearly taken a hit now that he's a second-stringer again.

David Montgomery RB | HOU
Bears' David Montgomery: Gets 15 touches in return
Montgomery rushed 13 times for 63 yards and caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers.
Montgomery returned from a four-game absence to lead Chicago's backfield with some tough running. The tailback ripped off a game-long rush of 21 yards and also sprinkled in a couple receptions, totaling a respectable 15 touches for 80 yards on the night. Meanwhile, with Montgomery returning, rookie Khalil Herbert managed just four rushes for 13 yards, including just one second-half carry. With the Bears now entering their bye week, Montgomery should be fresh when he next takes the field in Week 11 versus the Ravens.
-
Najee Harris RB | NYG
Steelers' Najee Harris: Scores in Monday's victory
Harris rushed 22 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 29-27 win over the Bears. He also caught all three of his targets for 16 yards.
Harris opened the scoring with a 10-yard touchdown run during the first quarter, helping his output on a night when he found little room to run. The rookie nonetheless got his usual heavy workload, accumulating at least 25 touches for the fourth straight game. Although his efficiency isn't always there, Harris' consistent usage and penchant for finding the end zone should continue to make him a strong option, and he's gifted with a favorable matchup in Week 10 versus the Lions.
-
Dare Ogunbowale RB | HOU
Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Plays sparingly Week 9
Ogunbowale had one carry for one yard and caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Bills.
Starter James Robinson (ankle) was inactive for Sunday's contest, but Ogunbowale played only eight offensive snaps, while Carlos Hyde dominated Jacksonville's backfield reps. There would need to be a significant shakeup in the Jaguars backfield in order for Ogunbowale to enter fantasy relevance.
-
Anthony McFarland RB | MIA
Steelers' Anthony McFarland: Inactive Monday
McFarland has been ruled inactive for Monday's matchup with the Bears due to a coach's decision.
McFarland made his season debut last week and saw just one carry for one yard. With Najee Harris, Kalen Ballage and Benny Snell all healthy, he will be the odd man out this week in the backfield.
-
Latavius Murray RB | BUF
Ravens' Latavius Murray: Listed as DNP on practice estimate
Murray (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Murray was inactive for Sunday's overtime win over the Vikings, so it's not surprising to see him listed as a DNP on Monday's estimate. Given the short turnaround this week, there's a decent chance that he won't make it back for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins. If so, Devonta Freeman (57 snaps versus Minnesota) and Le'Veon Bell (23 snaps) would be in line to head the Ravens' Week 10 backfield, with Ty'Son Williams in reserve.
