  • Jordan Wilkins RB | CLE

    Colts' Jordan Wilkins: Paces team in carries

    Wilkins rushed 11 times for 39 yards and secured both targets for minus-1 yard in the Colts' 24-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    A week after logging a season-high 20 carries, Wilkins once again led the backfield in rushing touches, although without much consistent success versus a tough Ravens defense. Wilkins does seem to have the trust of coach Frank Reich, which is an optimistic sign for his fantasy prospects. Wilkins will hope to continue seeing the same level of opportunity while splitting time with Jonathan Taylor in a Week 10 Thursday night battle against the Titans.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Salvages day with TD

    Taylor rushed six times for 27 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for seven yards in the Colts' 24-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown.

    Taylor once again played second fiddle to Jordan Wilkins in the backfield, but he was able to score from one yard out in the first quarter to lock in a serviceable fantasy performance. Otherwise, the rookie's modest workload and key first-quarter fumble cast a pall over his afternoon, as his carry total was a career-low figure and the loose ball was returned for a touchdown by Marcus Peters to start a Ravens comeback from down 7-0. Coach Frank Reich appears intent on affording Wilkins more than just a true change-of-pace workload, leaving Taylor's fantasy prospects uncertain heading into a Week 10 Thursday night battle against the Titans.

  • Football Team's Antonio Gibson: Scores TD in losing effort

    Gibson collected 20 rushing yards and one touchdown on six carries, adding three receptions for 35 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants. He also lost a fumble.

    Gibson garnered six of nine RB carries for Washington while collecting his team's lone rushing score, but J.D. McKissic dominated the position's passing-game work, commanding 14 targets to the rookie's three. The Memphis product posted an outstanding 128-yard, one-touchdown effort on 20 carries in Week 7 before his inefficient rushing outing Sunday, but in terms of his receiving upside, it's now been two consecutive games Gibson has been held to three or fewer receptions. He had accumulated four-plus catches in three straight outings Weeks 4 through 6. Gibson and the Washington backfield now benefit from an upcoming matchup against a Detroit defense that surrendered a jaw-dropping 275 rushing yards and three total touchdowns to Vikings back Sunday.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Ravens' J.K. Dobbins: Held in check by Colts

    Dobbins carried the ball 12 times for 30 yards and caught both his targets for five yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

    The Ravens' ground attack as a whole averaged only 2.9 yards a carry on the afternoon, but unlike Lamar Jackson and Gus Edwards, Dobbins wasn't able to boost his production with a touchdown. The rookie's workload in Week 10 will largely depend on whether Mark Ingram (ankle) is ready to rejoin the lineup.

  • Gus Edwards RB | LAC

    Ravens' Gus Edwards: Finds end zone in win

    Edwards carried the ball 11 times for 23 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

    While he didn't gain much real estate, Edwards was able to run for a TD for the third straight game. All three scores have come since Mark Ingram (ankle) got hurt, and Edwards' fantasy value in Week 10 will largely depend on whether Ingram is back in the lineup.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Bills' Zack Moss: Finds end zone vs. Seahawks

    Moss carried nine times for 18 yards and a touchdown while catching both his targets for an additional 30 yards during Sunday's 44-34 win over the Seahawks.

    Moss, who led the team in carries as Devin Singletary received just two, struggled to the tune of 2.0 yards per tote. He offset the lack of yardage a bit with a short rushing touchdown, giving him three in the last two games. It was also impressive to see Moss contribute with limited usage in the passing game, as he notched a new career high in receiving yardage. The rookie clearly seems to be carving out a larger role in the offense and will look to do more with his carries next Sunday against the Cardinals.

  • Bears' Cordarrelle Patterson: Posts 40 scrimmage yards

    Patterson caught four passes for 27 yards and rushed three times for 13 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    With David Montgomery leaving the game early with a head injury, Patterson saw his highest number of touches since Week 2. Though he's yet to post more than 45 yards in any game this season, Patterson could be worth adding in leagues where he qualifies as a running back if Montgomery is forced to miss time, based on potential volume.

  • Bills' Devin Singletary: Receives five touches vs. Seahawks

    Singletary carried two times for one yard and caught all three of his targets for an additional 33 yards during Sunday's 44-34 win over the Seahawks.

    Singletary received his lowest total of carries on the season, as Zack Moss and Josh Allen did most of the work on the ground. Singletary topped 30 receiving yards for just the second time this season, but that wasn't enough to propel him to useful fantasy production. This was concerning for Singletary's fantasy outlook, considering he carried the ball 14 times last week and his team played from ahead for most of this one. It now appears his week-to-week role will be difficult to predict. As such, it is difficult to recommend inserting him into fantasy lineups for next Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

  • Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Notches receiving TD in win

    Edwards-Helaire rushed five times for 14 yards and secured three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 33-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    With Kansas City surprisingly falling behind by a 14-3 score in the first half, game script quickly turned away from the run. Consequently, Edwards-Helaire and backfield mate Le'Veon Bell combined for just nine carries, but the former managed to salvage his fantasy day with a four-yard touchdown grab, the first of his career, in the latter portion of the third quarter. Edwards-Helaire now concerningly has single-digit carries in three consecutive games, however, which will continue to add some weekly uncertainty to his fantasy prospects if it endures. The rookie will look to up his overall number of touches in a Week 11 battle versus the Raiders after a Week 10 bye.

  • Jaguars' James Robinson: Scores seventh TD

    Robinson carried 25 times for 99 yards and a touchdown while failing to haul in either of his targets in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Texans.

    Robinson received a career-high 25 totes in this one and found the sledding a bit tough as he finished with an average of 4.0 yards per carry. He also failed to make an impact in the passing game with Jake Luton under center, but Robinson still managed a respectable fantasy line thanks to a one-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter. Robinson now has seven scores for the season and should continue to be heavily involved in a favorable matchup with the Packers next Sunday.
