Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: Nine rushes late in blowout
Shipley rushed nine times for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.
Shipley's carries and yards were both career highs. All nine of his rushes came in the fourth quarter with his team already up by 28 points, though, so this doesn't signal a change in his expected workload going forward.

Kenneth Gainwell RB | TB
Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Seven carries in blowout win
Gainwell rushed seven times for 30 yards and added one catch for nine yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.
Gainwell saw his second-most touches of the season, trailing only his 14 touches in a Week 7 blowout over the Giants. If the Eagles' hot streak continues, expects some more garbage-time action for Gainwell, but that makes him at best an unreliable source for a small handful of fantasy points.

Audric Estime RB | NO
Broncos' Audric Estime: Increased role on tap
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Monday that he was "encouraged" with Estime's performance in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs, adding that the rookie will "continue to get more reps," Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
After handling his largest workload of his rookie campaign (14 carries for 53 yards), Estime seems to have earned a vote of confidence from Payton. Veteran Javonte Williams could continue to take a back seat to the 21-year-old rookie after Williams logged just one carry in Week 10, though he and Jaleel McLaughlin should dominate most of the reps on passing downs. Estime has yet to be targeted across his 47 snaps on offense through six games this season, but an expected uptick in usage on the ground could result in solid fantasy production moving forward, particularly in non-PPR leagues. Though managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach before inserting him in fantasy lineups, the Notre Dame product at least represents an appealing speculative pickup heading into the Broncos' Week 11 matchup with the Falcons.

MarShawn Lloyd RB | GB
Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Has practice window opened
The Packers designated Lloyd (ankle) for return from injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
As the Packers returned from their bye week, they appear poised to get back the rookie third-round pick for the first time since he suffered a sprained ankle during a Week 2 win against the Colts. The team's top running back Josh Jacobs seemed to intimate as much earlier Monday, telling Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, "I'm excited to see him go this week." Emanuel Wilson and recently Chris Brooks have been spelling Jacobs out of the backfield, but Lloyd could soon join them if he shows well enough in practice this week.

Brian Robinson Jr. RB | ATL
Commanders' Brian Robinson: Estimated as limited Monday
Robinson (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Robinson didn't practice this past Friday before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Though the Commanders merely held a walkthrough Monday, Robinson's limited listing suggests that he may have a chance to return to the lineup Thursday night against the Eagles. Look for further context regarding his Week 11 status to arrive no later than Tuesday, when Washington's next injury report is issued. If Robinson remains sidelined versus Philadelphia, Austin Ekeler would be in line for another start at running back, with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez mixing in.

Tyler Allgeier RB | ARI
Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Double-digit touches in Week 10
Allgeier rushed 11 times for 59 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
Allgeier garnered double-digit rushing attempts for just the third time in 2024. Despite being stymied at the one-yard line on three consecutive plays in the second quarter -- Bijan Robinson eventually scored on fourth down -- Allgeier was actually efficient with his increased workload, recording at least 5.0 yards per carry for the sixth game this season. In five games with at least eight carries, Allgeier has rushed for 310 yards, but he's totaled only 119 rushing yards in his other five appearances.

Trey Sermon RB | PIT
Colts' Trey Sermon: Plays just two snaps in loss
Sermon did not have a carry but recorded one reception for four yards in Sunday's loss to Buffalo. He played just two snaps on offense.
Sermon has fallen behind Tyler Goodson in the competition for playing time behind Jonathan Taylor. However, Goodson played just nine snaps as Taylor played on 84 percent of the offense's snaps and was on the field late in the game despite the Colts falling far behind. Both trends don't bode well for Sermon's usage when all three backs are healthy.

Tyler Goodson RB | ATL
Colts' Tyler Goodson: Has TD catch in loss
Goodson had two receptions for nine yards on two targets, including a two-yard touchdown, in Sunday's loss to Buffalo.
Goodson played nine snaps on offense as he was used in passing situations. However, it was notable that Jonathan Taylor stayed on the field late in the game despite the Colts falling far behind, so it's not certain that Goodson will get more playing time in clear passing situations.

Ty Chandler RB | NO
Vikings' Ty Chandler: Gets limited role on offense
Chandler had four carries for 18 yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Chandler had played just two snaps on offense the previous two weeks after Cam Akers took over the backup running back role. Chandler only got on the field after Aaron Jones missed time late in the game due to a rib injury. Chandler could get some time on offense this week at Tennessee if Jones misses time or is limited with his health concern.

Miles Sanders RB | DAL
Panthers' Miles Sanders: Seeing specialist
Head coach Dave Canales said that Sanders will visit a specialist Monday for his knee/foot injury, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.
Sanders played six offensive snaps and rushed twice for five yards before exiting Sunday's overtime win over the Giants with the injury. Canales also noted the team doesn't have much information on Sanders' injury at the moment, but they should know more following Monday's visit. The Panthers have a Week 11 bye, giving Sanders an extra week to recover regardless of the severity of his issue.
