Stevenson rushed 20 times for 73 yards and caught all four of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.

Stevenson surpassed 70 rushing yards for the second consecutive game and the fifth time in 10 appearances this season. He isn't much of a contributor in the passing game, but Stevenson usually gets hefty workloads on the ground as long as the 3-8 Patriots aren't getting blown out, as this was the fifth time he recorded at least 20 rushing attempts in a game this season. Stevenson should remain heavily involved in Week 12 against a Dolphins defense that's been more vulnerable on the ground than through the air.

Montgomery rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all three targets for 20 yards in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Montgomery once again found himself in the end zone in the Lions' lopsided win, making multiple trips via his two- and six-yard runs in the first half. The veteran back was also more involved than usual as a receiver, with his three receptions tying for his second-highest figure of the season in that category. Montgomery's ultra-reliable red-zone role will keep him as a highly viable fantasy asset in all formats heading into a Week 12 road matchup against the Colts.

Gibbs rushed 11 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for a 54-yard catch in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Gibbs logged four fewer carries than backfield mate David Montgomery but gained just six less yards, and he finished third on the Lions in receiving yards thanks to a career-long 54-yard reception. Gibbs also recorded his fifth rushing touchdown in the last five games on a one-yard run early in the second quarter, making it yet another rewarding fantasy afternoon for the explosive second-year back. Gibbs next takes aim at a vulnerable Colts defense in a Week 12 road matchup next Sunday.

Chubb carried the ball 11 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.

The game didn't get away from the Browns until the fourth quarter, but Chubb still failed to get a big workload, even coming off a bye and facing what has been a vulnerable New Orleans run defense this season. Cleveland may simply no longer view Chubb as a viable bell cow after last year's serious knee injury, so while he should remain at the top of the depth chart ahead of the likes of Jerome Ford, his days of seeing 20-plus touches on a consistent basis may be over. Chubb isn't likely to break out in Week 12 against the Steelers, a team he's only scored two rushing touchdowns against in 10 career meetings.

Swift rushed 14 times for 71 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Swift recorded his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a game-long 39-yard run late in the third quarter, which also helped him to his highest rushing yardage total in the last three games. The veteran back and first-year Bear does continue ceding red-zone work to Roschon Johnson, which naturally isn't ideal for fantasy purposes, but Swift's big-play ability and clear lead-back role gives him plenty of appeal heading into a Week 12 home divisional showdown against the Vikings.

Jones took 15 carries for 39 yards while catching his only target for four yards in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans.

Neither team could move the ball on the ground Sunday, resulting in rushing averages of 2.5 yards for Minnesota and 1.7 yards for Tennessee. Jones actually finished as the game's leading rusher despite his paltry output. Cam Akers (10-25-0) continues to cut into the starter's touches, even vulturing a receiving touchdown in this contest. Jones is the superior talent and should remain the preferred fantasy option out of the Vikings' backfield heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

Taylor rushed 24 times for 57 yards and caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.

Taylor was surprisingly quiet in the victory, posting his third-lowest rushing yardage total of the season despite setting a season high in rushing attempts. Anthony Richardson scored two short rushing touchdowns in the quarterback's return to the starting role, while Taylor was kept out of the end zone for the third consecutive game after running in five touchdowns in his first five appearances of the season. Getting back on track won't be easy for Taylor in Week 12 against the stout Lions front, especially given the high probability of the Colts falling behind and having to go with a more pass-heavy approach.

Pollard (foot) rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota.

The Titans' rushing attack was abysmal against the Vikings' front, generating just 33 yards on 19 attempts as a team. Pollard was battling a foot injury during the practice week before gaining clearance for Sunday, but Tennessee's offensive line wouldn't have even been able to create enough push for Derrick Henry had he stayed with the club this past offseason. Pollard should produce better results against Houston next Sunday.

Jacobs rushed 18 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 58 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Jacobs saw his usual workload on the ground, logging under 20 carries for the fifth time in the last six games. As customary, the versatile veteran was efficient with his opportunities while setting a new season high in receiving yards. Jacobs also scored his third rushing touchdown in the last three games on a seven-yard run just past the midway point of the third quarter, making it a productive all-around fantasy day for him in the narrow divisional win. The offseason addition will carry a four-game streak of at least 76 rushing yards into a Week 12 home showdown against the 49ers.

Hall rushed 16 times for 78 yards and a touchdown while catching all seven of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

Hall's two touchdowns came in the span of three offensive plays after a 78-play touchdown drought by the Jets offense. He did the hard part after a short dump-off to score a 29-yard receiving touchdown late in the first half, then made a nifty move to put the ball just inside the pylon while falling out of bounds to cap an 18-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. The Jets have underachieved at 3-8 heading into their Week 12 bye, but Hall's versatility out of the backfield allows him to stay heavily involved regardless of game script and will make him a strong fantasy play when the Jets return to action in Week 13 against the Seahawks.
