Kamara ran for 56 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries and added 46 yards on four receptions during Sunday's 51-14 win over the Bengals.

Known mostly as a speedster, Kamara showed his versatility on two second-quarter touchdown runs against the Bengals. First, he bruised through the heart of Cincinnati's defense for a four-yard touchdown. Then, on the very next drive, he used his speed to beat the defense to the edge on a one-yard toss play. The sophomore back has now scored multiple touchdowns in three straight games. Though Mark Ingram's big day might be a cause for concern in most backfields, the dependence the Saints have on their backs in the passing game likely means that there are plenty of touches to go around. Up next in Week 11 is a mediocre Philadelphia run defense surrendering 4.5 yards per carry.

Chubb rushed 20 times for 176 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 33 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Falcons.

Chubb caught a 13-yard score in the final minute of the first half, then exploded for the longest offensive touchdown in the league this season on a 92-yard scoring scamper in the third quarter. The rookie second-rounder is quickly making a name for himself in a starting role, but owners will have to look elsewhere at the running back position in Week 11 with Cleveland on bye.

Perine is active for Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay.

Perine has been called upon this season during Chris Thompson's (ribs) three absences, and he'll do the same Week 10. In those outings, Perine accrued 30 yards from scrimmage on eight touches. With Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs in front of him, Perine can't be expected to receive more than a handful of looks, barring an injury to one of the pair.

Barner is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Barner is the odd man out, with Sony Michel back from a knee injury. Meanwhile, James White is on hand to assume change-of-pace/pass-catching duties, while versatile wideout Cordarrelle Patterson is on hand in the event that Michel suffers any in-game setbacks Sunday.

Walton is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, but he's expected to see reduced involvement on offense with Giovani Bernard (knee) returning from a four-game absence, Fletcher Page of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Walton had functioned as the Bengals' clear backup running back with one of Bernard or Joe Mixon missing each of the last six games, but that role didn't bear much fruit. Over that span, Walton managed just 24 yards on 13 carries and hauled in five receptions for 41 yards. Though he'll continue to dress Sunday, Walton's snap count on offense will likely sink into the single digits, with the rookie instead expected to see most of his action on special teams.

With Sony Michel (knee) back in action, Patterson is in line to resume his normal reserve wideout/return duties Sunday against the Titans.

The versatile wideout helped fill in for Michel out of the New England backfield over the last couple of weeks, but as long as Michel avoids any in-game setbacks, Patterson's workload will dip in Week 10. Patterson remains dangerous in the return game and capable of breaking off the occasional big play when the coaching staff finds ways to get the ball into his hands, but he's a fantasy roll of the dice in his standard role, which he'll return to Sunday.

Fowler (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.

Fowler is a healthy scratch for a second straight week, while the Titans roll with the backfield trio of Derrick Henry, Dion Lewis and David Fluellen.

The Steelers are optimistic that Conner will clear the NFL's concussion protocol and suit up in the team's next game Nov. 18 against the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Conner sustained a head injury in Thursday's 52-21 win over the Panthers, during which he piled up 65 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries and reeled in his lone target for eight yards. The lengthier turnaround between games should prove beneficial for Conner in his recovery from the concussion, as he'll have nine days to pass the five-step protocol rather than the typical six. Assuming he endures no setbacks and gains clearance to play, Conner should reprise his usual three-down duties for the Steelers, with the second-year back seemingly on track to hold that role for the remainder of the season. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Le'Veon Bell is unlikely to report to the Steelers by Tuesday's deadline, which would leave Pittsburgh's former lead back ineligible to play at any point in 2018.

Patterson (neck) does not carry a Week 10 injury designation in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans.

After being limited Wednesday and Thursday, both Patterson and Julian Edelman (ankle) were removed from the team's injury report Friday. The Patriots thus list six players as questionable this week (a modest total by their standards) in a game that will feature a coaching matchup between Bill Belichick and one of his former players, Mike Vrabel. With Patterson's availability in no doubt, the versatile wideout's Week 10 fantasy prospects now hinge on the status of RB Sony Michel (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. If Michel ends up being made inactive, Patterson would once again be a candidate to see added snaps out of the Patriots backfield, while James White would maintain his high volume change-of-pace/pass-catching duties.

Mack (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing fully Friday.

Since returning to action Week 6 following a hamstring issue, Mack has seen his workload and production increase in each of the Colts' three contests since then. This weekend, he'll look to build off his 25-carry/132-yard/two-TD effort against the Raiders in Week 8. He'll do so while facing a Jacksonville squad that has dropped four straight games and is allowing an average of 123.3 yards on the ground to date.
