  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Role begins to shrink

    Hubbard rushed the ball 12 times for 43 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers. He was not targeted.

    Hubbard continued to lead the Carolina backfield, though he out-touched Jonathon Brooks by a margin of only 12-9. He was also held in check for most of the game, as his longest gain went for only nine yards and he had a fumble in overtime that cost the Panthers a chance at victory. Perhaps most concerning in regards to role was Hubbard's lack of involvement as a receiver, as this marked only the third time this season that he wasn't targeted. He has at least four receptions in six contests for the campaign, which has served as a significant portion of his fantasy value.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Won't return against Buffalo

    McCaffrey (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bills.

    McCaffrey was ruled out at halftime after limping to the locker room in the first half. Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo will lead San Francisco's rushing attack in the second half. McCaffrey will finish the night with seven carries for 53 yards and two catches for 14 yards on three targets. His next chance to play will be Week 14 against the Bears.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Breakout performance in win

    Irving rushed the ball 25 times for 152 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers. He added three catches on three targets for 33 yards.

    Irving had secured an increased role in the Tampa Bay offense in recent weeks, but he took over the backfield in Sunday's win. He accounted for 25 of 36 carries by the team's running backs, four of which went for double-digit gains --highlighted by a 43-yard pickup to help set up a field goal late in the fourth quarter. Irving also found the end zone for the third straight game and could be in for some additional big performances down the stretch.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Injures knee on SNF

    McCaffrey (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills.

    McCaffrey felt something in his leg and slid down immediately after receiving a toss in the second quarter, then got up limping and promptly went to the medical tent. The star running back went to the locker room soon thereafter, per Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. McCaffrey had been off to a strong start in snowy Buffalo prior to the injury, rushing seven times for 53 yards and catching two of three targets for 14 yards. Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo will comprise San Francisco's backfield in McCaffrey's absence.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Churns out 111 yards on 22 touches

    Henry rushed 19 times for 82 yards and brought in all three of his targets for 29 receiving yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.

    Henry didn't post a monstrous stat line like we have become accustomed to over the course of his storied career, but he still produced 111 yards from scrimmage without turning the ball over. The simple fact that this performance checked out as one of Henry's lowest fantasy scores of the season paints a picture of how dominant King Henry has been since aligning with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore this season. With the added rest from Baltimore's upcoming bye, Henry should be locked in for a strong finish to the campaign when the Ravens resume play against the Giants on Dec. 15.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Solid game on limited touches

    Brown rushed the ball 12 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for 30 yards.

    Brown looked to be in for a huge game as he accounted for 54 rushing yards and a score on the Bengals' second offensive possession. However, Cincinnati found itself chasing the lead for much of the second half, which led to Brown getting only four carries in the final two quarters. Nevertheless, he remains the clear lead back and has now found the end zone or topped 100 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive matchups.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Best yardage in 2024

    Williams took 15 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over New Orleans.

    Williams surpassed his previous best of 102 rushing yards against Green Bay in Week 5 in addition to scoring his 10th rushing touchdown of the season. The 2022 fifth-round gem accomplished these feats on just 15 carries, also setting a new high-water mark for yards per carry (6.9). Williams should continue to thrive as the Rams' lead tailback as the team prepares to host Buffalo next Sunday.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Cracks century mark on 23 attempts

    Kamara rushed for 112 yards on 23 carries while catching four of six targets for seven receiving yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

    Kamara churned out his third 100-plus yard rushing effort of the season on a healthy mark of 4.9 yards per carry. Conversely, the versatile back was held in check on all four of his receptions, leading to his worst performance as a receiver through 12 games. The 28-year-old's scoreless streak also reached six games, which has somewhat dampened the fantasy stud's value as the season chugs along. All that said, Kamara continues to provide strong fantasy numbers for a team that continues to drop in the standings. The same can be expected in a road tilt against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Totals 129 yards from scrimmage

    Harris rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals. He added six receptions on six targets for 54 yards.

    Harris was effective as both a rusher and receiver, and his day began with the latter as he accounted for 45 receiving yards on Pittsburgh's first two offensive possessions. He then got things going on the ground, highlighted by a 10-yard trip to the end zone midway through the second quarter and a long 20-yard gain late in the third quarter to help set up a score. Harris had struggled with efficiency heading into Sunday's game and topped 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 8.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Seven touches in loss to Philly

    Hill rushed three times for six yards and caught four of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.

    Hill saw his customary level of usage while working in a change-of-pace role behind Derrick Henry. Hill's volume has been remarkably consistent heading into Baltimore's Week 14 bye. He has totaled between six and eight touches nine times this season while falling short of six three times and exceeding eight just once, when Hill had four carries and six catches against the Bills back in Week 4.
