Zenner didn't touch the ball during Sunday's 20-19 win over the Panthers.

Zenner was contained to special teams in this one, but it's possible he could be needed on offense more often going forward if Kerryon Johnson's knee injury forces the rookie to miss time. However, Zenner still wouldn't be an advisable fantasy option in Week 12 against the Bears' stout defense.

Mixon ran for 14 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and added three catches for 38 yards during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Baltimore.

Mixon tied the game up early in the second quarter when he followed his fullback and pushed into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown. The Ravens beat up the Bengals' ground game as Andy Dalton's 29 rushing yards ended up leading the team. Mixon's weak outing snapped a four-game span in which he averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry thrice. Even with the return of Giovani Bernard, Mixon has a stranglehold on carries in Cincinnati and has scored in four of his last six games. He'll be counted on next Sunday against a Browns defense that is tough against the pass but gives up 4.7 yards per carry.

Mack ran for 61 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and added an 8-yard catch during Sunday's 38-10 win over the Titans.

Mack gave the Colts the early lead late in the first quarter, chugging through the line on his way to a 1-yard score. Mack hasn't been quite the same player since after the bye, averaging just 3.2 yards per run as compared to the other-worldly 6.2 yards he averaged in three games prior to the bye. Still, the second-year back is the linchpin in a more balanced Indianapolis attack, averaging 18 touches per game over his last five contests and scoring five times in that span. A weak Miami run defense comes to town next Sunday, giving up 4.8 yards per carry.

Henry carried the ball nine times for 46 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Colts. He was not targeted in the passing game.

The Titans fell behind early in this game, limiting Henry's potential to make an impact. Over half of his yards came on the final drive of the game, after the final outcome was clearly decided. Though Henry has shown a nose for the end zone -- he has four touchdowns on the season -- his lack of involvement in the passing game makes him a highly volatile option on a weekly basis due to his dependence on game script and goal-line opportunity.

Edwards ran for 115 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's 24-21 win over Cincinnati. He added a two-point conversion on the day.

Edwards tied the game up late in the third quarter with a weaving inside run for an 11-yard score. He did it again on the next play for the two-point conversion. The undrafted rookie out of Rutgers had a solid 42-yard outing in Week 6, but nobody could have been expecting this caliber of performance. How the the workload between him and Alex Collins is distributed moving forward will be something to monitor, considering the latter managed just seven carries Sunday, only one of which came in the second half. Edwards has logged just 32 carries this season, but his 5.6 yards per tote are a full two yards more than Collins' 3.6 figure. A favorable matchup awaits in Week 12 against a Raiders run defense giving up 4.8 yards per carry.

Conner rushed nine times for 25 yards while adding six receptions for 24 yards on nine targets in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Jaguars.

Expecting to get Le'Veon Bell back this season, the Steelers rode Conner hard prior to this contest. That approach was great for Conner's fantasy owners, but all that wear and tear might be catching up to Conner, who will continue to carry the load with Bell having failed to end his holdout by the deadline. Then again, the talented Jaguars defense completely stymied the Steelers through almost three quarters before blowing a 16-0 lead, so this dud could simply be attributed to a tough matchup and not the beginning of a decline from Conner. How he fares against a vulnerable Denver run defense in Week 12 will say a lot about Conner's rest-of-season outlook.

McCaffrey rushed 13 times for 53 yards and brought in six of eight targets for 57 yards in the Panthers' 20-19 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

McCaffrey turned in another solid performance, although one that was more subdued than some of his recent efforts. He still drew even with D.J. Moore for the team lead in targets and checked in second behind him in receptions, with McCaffrey's six catches qualifying as his best total in that category since Week 7. McCaffrey will undoubtedly be set for another high-usage assignment versus the Seahawks in Week 12.

Barkley rushed 27 times for 142 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in two of three targets for 10 yards and another touchdown in the Giants' 38-35 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Eli Manning completed 95.0 percent of his passes, but he was still overshadowed by Barkley's exploits, which included career highs in carries and rushing yards. The 2018 second-overall pick added his first receiving score since Week 5, even as his reception total equaled his lowest since the opener. Barkley's usage figures to remain sky high when the Giants tangle with the Eagles in a Week 12 divisional road battle.

Elliott carried 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Falcons. He also logged seven catches for 79 yards in the 22-19 win.

Elliott gashed Atlanta repeatedly, as he finished averaging 5.3 yards per carry and scored on a 23-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. He also led the team in targets, catches and receiving yardage, going over 200 scrimmage yards for the second time this season in the process. Elliott has been handed a huge workload in the last two weeks and has enjoyed tremendous success, helping the team back to .500 with a pair of improbable road wins. Expect the star tailback to play a central role in the Week 12 Thanksgiving matchup against the Redskins.

Barner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 11 tilt against the Lions.

Barner and Travaris Cadet were both added to the Panthers roster this week as running back reinforcements, but neither will suit up Week 11. Barner could potentially work his way up to active status in the coming weeks behind the top duo of Christian McCaffrey and Cameron Artis-Payne.
