  • Alex Armah FB | WAS

    Panthers' Alex Armah: Gets two carries

    Armah rushed twice for three yards in Week 10's loss to the Steelers.

    Armah now sports 14 yards on seven rushes through nine games, showing the Panthers will throw their fullback a bone every now and then.

  • C.J. Anderson RB | LAR

    Panthers' C.J. Anderson: Gets two carries

    Anderson lost one yard on his two carries in Week 10's loss to the Steelers.

    Anderson has now been given just 24 carries through nine games, emphasizing his small role behind starting tailback Christian McCaffrey.

  • Zach Zenner RB | NO

    Lions' Zach Zenner: Gains 12 yards on lone carry in return

    Zenner rushed once for 12 yards during Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears.

    While most of Zenner's action came on special teams, he nonetheless made a mark on offense, considering the 12 yards he gained on a draw play marked the Lions' longest run of the game. However, it's unlikely Zenner's role will grow as long as Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick are healthy. As a result, the South Dakota State product is nowhere near the fantasy radar as Detroit enters a Week 11 home game against Carolina.

  • Rashaad Penny RB | CAR

    Seahawks' Rashaad Penny: Takes reins in backfield

    Penny rushed 12 times for 108 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Rams.

    This is the production the Seahawks expected when they picked Penny in the first round of April's draft. With Chris Carson (hip) out, Penny outpaced Mike Davis, who rushed 11 times for 58 yards. This adds to the ambiguity in the Seattle backfield, but coach Pete Carroll could ride the hot hand Thursday against the Packers if Carson remains out.

  • Melvin Gordon RB | BAL

    Chargers' Melvin Gordon: Totals 165 yards in win

    Gordon rushed 18 times for 93 yards and caught five of six targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Raiders.

    Gordon caught a pass in the flat, broke a tackle and took it 66 yards to the house to give the Chargers a two-touchdown lead early in the second half. He fell just seven yards short of his third straight 100-yard rushing game but more than made up for it with his second-best receiving game of the year. The 25-year-old has 100 yards or a touchdown in all seven games he's played in this season and will look to keep the streak going at home Week 11 against Denver.

  • Kenyan Drake RB | GB

    Dolphins' Kenyan Drake: Returns to Sunday's contest

    Drake, who was forced out of Sunday's game against the Packers with a shoulder injury, was subsequently able to return to the contest, Chris Perkins of The Athletic reports.

    Drake will thus re-enter Miami's backfield committee in Week 10, which has been so far led by Frank Gore, with Kalen Ballage in reserve.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Four touchdowns in last three games

    Henry rushed 11 times for 58 yards and two touchdowns while failing to draw a target in the passing game during Sunday's 34-10 win over New England.

    Henry found paydirt from one yard out in the second quarter, giving his team a 24-10 lead that New England could never recover from. He removed any doubt by scoring from 10 yards out from the wildcat to extend the lead to 24 points in the fourth quarter. Four of Henry's 29 carries in the past three weeks have finished with him celebrating in the end zone. He'll look to add to his touchdown total against the Colts in Week 11.

  • Kenyan Drake RB | GB

    Dolphins' Kenyan Drake: Suffers shoulder injury

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Drake ran four times for 15 yards and caught one pass for three yards. In his absence, added backfield touches are available for Frank Gore and Kalen Ballage.

  • Marlon Mack RB | ARI

    Colts' Marlon Mack: Makes minimal impact versus Jaguars

    Mack carried 12 times for 29 yards and caught two passes for an additional nine yards during Sunday's 29-26 win over the Jaguars.

    Mack received the majority of the touches out of the backfield, but he never got it going on the ground as he averaged just 2.4 yards per carry. He also made a minimal impact as a pass catcher, and his only really notable play of the day came on a successful two-point conversion in the second quarter. While the matchup wasn't ideal, this performance is even more disappointing for Mack's owners when considering he'd racked up 401 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns over his last three games. It remains to be seen if his recent foot injury limited him in this one, but he'll try to bounce back next Sunday against the Titans.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Production curtailed by game flow

    Mixon was effective when used Sunday against the Saints, carrying the ball 11 times for 61 yards to go along with two catches for 24 yards.

    Unfortunately for Mixon, the Bengals were getting blown out, so running opportunities after the second quarter were scarce. The Bengals next travel to Baltimore, where the game at least figures to be closer, even if the matchup isn't great for Mixon.
