Jones rushed just four times for 13 yards and brought in two of four targets for one yard in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

The final numbers say it all in terms of type of day it was for Jones, whose current "lead back" designation equated to zero fantasy relevance Sunday. Game script blew up any chance the Buccaneers had of sticking with the ground attaack, but due to the fact the team's defense frequently puts them in a hole, that's at risk of happening on any given week. Jones will look to boost his production significantly when he faces the Falcons' suddenly resurgent defense Week 12.

Jacobs carried 23 times for 112 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

Jacobs was quite effective on the ground, averaging 4.9 yards per carry while topping the 100-yard mark for the fifth time in the last seven games. He caught each of his three looks in the passing game but was unable to make a significant impact, though his 124 scrimmage yards were his third-highest mark of the season. Jacobs remains a focal point of the Oakland offense and will look to continue producing next Sunday against the Jets.

Mixon carried 15 times for 86 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Raiders. He also caught one of three targets for 17 additional yards during the 17-10 loss.

Mixon averaged an impressive 5.7 yards per carry against a solid Oakland front while scoring his first rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard plunge in the first quarter. He wasn't especially involved in the passing game, but his 103 scrimmage yards -- combined with his touchdown -- were an encouraging sign for his fantasy owners. Mixon's production has trended upward over the last couple of week, and he'll look to keep it up next Sunday against the Steelers.

Hines carried the ball three times for 11 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Jaguars. He also added three receptions on four targets for 24 yards.

Hines took advantage of Marlon Mack's hand injury to record his first touchdown of the season. His scamper came early in the fourth quarter, when he took a handoff for seven yards into the end zone. He tallied three rushing attempts and a target after Mack exited early in the third quarter, clearly working behind Jonathan Williams. However, with Mack already declared out for Week 12, Hines should be in line for increased work as the Colts take on the Texans on Thursday.

Drake carried the ball 16 times for 67 yards while catching six of seven targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-26 loss to the 49ers.

Meanwhile, David Johnson failed to touch the ball at all in this game, as Christian Kirk got the only other non-Kyler Murray carry for the Cards on a jet sweep. Drake has quickly established himself as Arizona's No. 1 RB since being liberated from Miami, totaling 283 scrimmage yards and a TD in three games for his new team, but it remains to be seen if he'll continue to dominate backfield touches coming out of the Cards' Week 12 bye.

Freeman ran for 31 yards on eight carries and added a 14-yard catch during Sunday's 27-23 loss in Minnesota.

Freeman kept the Broncos alive late in the fourth quarter, taking a swing pass on third and long and juking his defender on his way to a 14-yard gain and first down. The play itself was encouraging, but fantasy managers would be justified in being concerned that Freeman was kept to single-digit touches for the second consecutive game after at logging at least 10 in the first eight contests of 2019. Even with Phillip Lindsay playing well, it's somewhat of a surprise that Freeman hasn't been more involved in the passing game, perhaps a product of Joe Flacco's (neck) absence. The workload between Lindsay and Freeman will obviously be worth monitoring in Week 12 against Buffalo.

Montgomery (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams at L.A., Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Montgomery rolled his ankle at Wednesday's practice, inducing the Bears to hold him out Thursday before he returned Friday as a limited participant. Considered a game-time decision by coach Matt Nagy, Montgomery must have appeased the team's medical and training staffs enough to get the all-clear. It's unclear if Montgomery will handle his typical workload, but Tarik Cohen and Ryan Nall are on hand in the event he cannot.

Edwards rushed eight times for 112 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 41-7 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Edwards put an exclamation point on the big win with a 63-yard touchdown rumble at the four-minute mark of the fourth quarter, marking his second rushing score of the campaign. His opportunity came as a result of game script, however, so expectations should be tempered, despite the big play. The second-year back hasn't seen double-digit carries since Week 1, and he'll be expected to continue in a clear complementary role versus the Rams in a Monday night Week 12 matchup.

Singletary ran for 75 yards on 15 carries and added a four-yard catch during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami. He fumbled twice, but both were recovered by the offense.

The rookie had a pair of big runs Sunday, including a 25-yard dash through the defense late in the first half to set up a touchdown. Singletary cut through Miami's front and turned on the jets before fumbling on a play that was recovered by his teammate. Sunday's fumbles were the first two of his career and so there shouldn't be too much concern as he he builds a stronger hold on the lead back job. Over the past four games, Singletary has 46 carries to Frank Gore's 36 and has done far more with them, averaging 5.0 yards per carry to Gore's 2.4. Next up is a visit from a Denver defense that has flummoxed top backs Nick Chubb and Dalvin Cook in recent weeks.

Williams carried the ball 13 times for 116 yards in the team's Week 11 win over the Jaguars. He also added one reception for 31 yards.

Williams took over duties as the primary ballcarrier early in the third quarter after Marlon Mack exited with a broken hand. While he managed a 16-yard rush and 31-yard reception prior to Mack's exit, Williams handled 10 of the team's 15 carries after Mack bowed out. Williams' effort was highlighted by a 48-yard scamper early in the fourth quarter, though Nyheim Hines vultured the touchdown to close the drive. Mack has already been ruled out for the team's Week 12 contest against the Texans, creating the likelihood that Williams will see the majority of work out of the backfield.
