Hasty carried the ball six times for 20 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

While working in a change-of-pace role Sunday, Hasty recorded 12 of a possible 64 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. In a backfield that also includes top option Rhamondre Stevenson (45 snaps, 20 carries) and Antonio Gibson (seven snaps, five carries), Hasty carries limited fantasy lineup upside.

Gibson logged seven of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

In the process, Gibson recorded 26 rushing yards on five carries and wasn't targeted in the contest. As long as he continues to work behind Rhamondre Stevenson (45 snaps, 20 carries Sunday), Gibson is off the fantasy radar.

Ogunbowale had one carry for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

Ogunbowale once again served as the top backup to Joe Mixon, as Dameon Pierce (hamstring) missed a second straight contest. It was the sixth game this year Pierce has been inactive due to injury. Ogunbowale was on the field for 15 snaps, while Mixon dominated backfield playing time as per usual. Since Mixon returned from an injury in Week 6, Ogunbowale has six rushes for 28 yards and has failed to catch any of his five targets.

Benson rushed 10 times for 62 yards while corralling both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-6 rout of the Jets.

Benson continued to spell starter James Conner, but the rookie got his touches much earlier in the contest this time around. The 22-year-old Benson may be getting more plays drawn up for him in weekly game plans in order to give Arizona another threat on offense. James Conner produced the bigger fantasy score and remains the starter for the Cardinals as the team enters its bye. That said, Benson's usage should be monitored in the event his role increases when Arizona resumes play against Seattle in Week 12.

Elliott (suspension) rushed six times for 22 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to Philadelphia.

Elliott returned from a team-mandated one-game suspension to resume his backup role for the Cowboys. The veteran tailback didn't make a case to earn more carries upon his return, losing one of four Dallas fumbles Sunday. With Rico Dowdle handling the lead-back role, it is safe to leave Elliott on waivers ahead of next Monday's tilt against Houston.

Montgomery rushed 12 times for 32 yards and a touchdown while adding 24 yards off of one reception in Sunday's 26-23 win over Houston.

Montgomery didn't have his finest game on the ground, but a short score in the third quarter helped round out a solid fantasy performance overall. The thunder of Detroit's two-star backfield saw 13 touches to Jahmyr Gibbs' 21, with the two backs being used in tandem as head coach Dan Campbell often does. Montgomery could see a more favorable game script when the 7-1 Lions host the 2-8 Jaguars next Sunday.

Mixon rushed the ball 25 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions. He added two receptions on four targets for 44 yards.

The Lions have boasted one of the better run defenses for much of the season, and the unit largely limited Mixon on the ground Sunday. The exception came on Houston's first offensive possession, which he capped with an eight-yard touchdown run. Mixon's notable production otherwise came as a pass catcher, when he ripped off a 36-yard catch-and-run late in the first quarter. While he was bottled up thereafter, Mixon has found the end zone in all but one game this season and has been among the most reliable producers at the position.

Gibbs rushed 19 times for 71 yards while catching two of three targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans.

Gibbs was the only position player for either side to crack 100 total yards from scrimmage in an odd game that featured seven combined interceptions. Co-starter David Montgomery struggled on the ground (12-32-1) but was also the beneficiary of Detroit's lone rushing touchdown on the night. Both tailbacks should be considered universal starts in all fantasy formats heading into a soft matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Spears rushed the ball seven times for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards.

Spears was active for the first time since Week 6, and he returned to record double-digit touches for only the second time in six games on the campaign. His touch total may have been inflated by a brief absence in the second quarter for Tony Pollard, but Spears should work as a change-of-pace option moving forward. Spears also showed encouraging explosiveness, as he notched a pair of double-digit gains in Sunday's loss.

Dowdle carried the ball 12 times for 53 yards while catching all three of his targets for as many yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to Philadelphia.

Dowdle was off to a good start on the ground before the score got out of hand and forced the team to abandon the run in the second half. Ezekiel Elliott (suspension) returned following a one-game absence, but he produced just 22 yards on six carries while losing a fumble. Dowdle should continue to serve as the Cowboys' top RB despite the team being in disarray at the QB position heading into next Monday's tilt against Houston.
