  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Stays limited in walkthrough

    Robinson (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    After sitting out the Commanders' last two games with a hamstring injury, Robinson has been listed as limited on the team's first two Week 11 injury reports, both of which were estimates. Earlier Tuesday, head coach Dan Quinn told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington that the Commanders will hold a higher-intensity practice Wednesday, which should offer a better picture of his likely status for Thursday's game in Philadelphia. If Robinson ends up sitting out a third straight game or is available in only a limited capacity, Austin Ekeler would continue to operate as Washington's lead back after earning double-digit touches each of the past two weeks.

  • Carson Steele RB | PHI

    Chiefs' Carson Steele: Minimal impact in Week 10

    Steele tallied two carries for three yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory against the Broncos.

    Steele logged only 13 offensive snaps in the contest, still trailing Kareem Hunt (44) by a sizable margin and sitting three behind Samaje Perine as well. The rookie back has carried the ball a combined seven times over the last three weeks. With Isiah Pacheco's (lower leg) return from injured reserve on the horizon, there's little to like about Steele's fantasy prospects moving forward.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Another inefficient showing

    Wright rushed five times for three yards during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams.

    Wright has now totaled just 21 yards on 11 carries (1.9 YPC) in his last two appearances, a disappointing development after he averaged 5.3 YPC in his first six career appearances. He did, however, work as the No. 2 backfield option behind De'Von Achane versus Los Angeles, while veteran Raheem Mostert was held without a rushing attempt but secured two of three targets. Achane remains the Dolphins' clear backfield leader, with Wright and Mostert splitting the leftover duties. Wright will try to do more with his opportunities in Week 11 versus the Raiders.

  • Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Used sparingly in backup role

    Mostert secured two of three targets for 34 yards during Miami's 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday.

    Mostert did not log a single carry during Monday night's win, while De'Von Achane rushed 12 times for 37 yards and Jaylen Wright logged five carries for three yards. Achane was also more involved than Mostert in the receiving game, securing all five of his targets for 15 yards. All three of Tua Tagovailao's targets to Mostert came on third down, and the veteran running back's 15 percent share of offensive snaps marked a season low. Mostert had logged at least 10 carries in three of four appearances leading up to Monday's win, but his role has to be considered uncertain heading into a Week 11 home game against the Raiders.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Chiefs' Samaje Perine: Posts pair of grabs versus Broncos

    Perine didn't tally a carry but reeled in both of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Broncos.

    While Perine saw limited action (16 snaps) on offense, he made a notable play, scampering for 35 yards on one of his two receptions in a drive that ended up with a field goal. Even so, he's hardly producing enough weekly to warrant a look in fantasy leagues, especially with Isiah Pacheco on the cusp of a return to the playing field. Once Pacheco returns, Perine would presumably drop to third on the depth chart behind Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, further diminishing his fantasy value.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Nursing ankle issue, should play

    Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Harris could be limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury, but the running back is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Harris is banged up coming out of a 28-27 win over the Commanders this past Sunday, when he matched his season high with 21 carries and gained 53 yards while scoring a touchdown. The Steelers are seemingly planning on taking it easy with Harris in practice this week coming off the big workload, but his availability for a Week 11 matchup with Baltimore doesn't seem to be in serious jeopardy.

  • Hassan Haskins RB | LAC

    Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Scores touchdown against former team

    Haskins tallied two carries for four yards and a touchdown in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    The Chargers seemed to do Haskins a solid against his former team, as the second-year running back was handed a one-yard touchdown run late in the second half after J.K. Dobbins effectively ran the entire way down the field. With Gus Edwards (ankle) back in the fold, it's important to note Haskins played ahead of Kimani Vidal, who was a healthy inactive, but that still led to just five offensive snaps total.

  • Braelon Allen RB | NYJ

    Jets' Braelon Allen: Seven carries in blowout loss

    Allen gained 27 rushing yards on seven carries and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.

    Allen has 60 rushing attempts and 16 targets through his first 10 NFL games, so his usage Sunday was right in line with the rookie's averages. After averaging 4.8 yards per carry on 27 attempts through Week 4, Allen has regressed to 2.8 YPC on 33 carries over the last six games as he continues to work in a change-of-pace role behind Breece Hall.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Three touches in defeat

    Corum rushed twice for eight yards and caught his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.

    Kyren Williams wasn't his usual self in this contest, earning just 15 carries for 62 yards while also losing a fumble, but that didn't lead to an expanded role for Corum, who saw the field for just five snaps on offense. The Patriots, who held the Bears to just three points this week, are up next for Corum and the Rams in Week 11, and Williams seems likely to continue to dominate the snap count at running back.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Garners 52 total yards in win

    Achane rushed 12 times for 37 yards and secured all five targets for 15 yards in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.

    Achane was stymied on the ground by a Rams defense that had frequently struggled stopping the run, and although he remained a big part of the air attack, his receiving yardage total was his lowest in any game this season with at least five receptions. His backfield mate Raheem Mostert notably did not log any carries Monday night while Jaylen Wright recorded a modest five rush attempts, further confirming that Achane seems to be in control of the ground game heading into a Week 11 home matchup against the Raiders.
