J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN
Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Cedes time to Edwards in win
Dobbins tallied 15 carries for 50 yards in a 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also caught all three of his targets for five yards.
Gus Edwards made his return after missing the previous four games with an ankle injury and immediately assumed his platoon role with Dobbins, finishing the day with 10 carries for 55 yards. To make matters worse for Dobbins' fantasy managers, the Chargers appeared to do the former Titan running back, Hassan Haskins, a solid by giving him a cursory one-yard touchdown plunge after Dobbins carried the ball four times for 19 yards and even saw a target on the 95-yard touchdown drive that effectively iced the game. There should be plenty more opportunities for an offensive explosion next week when the Chargers take on the Bengals' woeful defense.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Makes impact as receiver
White rushed 10 times for 31 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
White logged three fewer carries and 42 fewer yards than backfield mate Bucky Irving, but he set the pace in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. White also recorded his career-high fourth receiving touchdown of the season with a nine-yard scoring grab early in the third quarter, and he'll face a Giants defense that just allowed 153 rushing yards to the Panthers' Chuba Hubbard in Week 12 following Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Okay after injury scare
Jones rushed the ball 17 times for 88 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars. He added two receptions on three targets for 13 yards.
Jones suffered a chest injury late in the third quarter and missed roughly 15 minutes of game time before re-entering the contest late in the fourth quarter. He still led the team in carries and was the only running back to record multiple catches, allowing him to top 100 total yards for the first time since Week 7. Most importantly, Jones spoke to reporters after the game and disclosed that his X-rays came back clean per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, suggesting he should be fine heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Titans.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Tops 100 scrimmage yards in win
Kamara carried the ball 17 times for 55 yards and caught five of six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.
While he had trouble breaking a big gain on the ground, Kamara led the Saints in receptions and targets on the day and reached 100 scrimmage yards for the third straight contest and the seventh time this season in 10 games. Over that three-game stretch, Kamara has churned out 277 rushing yards and 169 receiving yards, but he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 6. He'll look to end that scoring drought in Week 11 against the Browns.

Bijan Robinson RB | ATL
Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Finds end zone twice in loss
Robinson carried the ball 20 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns and caught three of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
The second-year running back set a season high in rushing yards while accounting for both of Atlanta's touchdowns, including a dazzling 37-yard run late in the third quarter that ended up being the final score of the afternoon. Robinson has topped 100 scrimmage yards in five straight contests, amassing 643 yards and six total TDs over that stretch, and he'll look to keep rolling in a Week 11 road clash with the Broncos.

Audric Estime RB | NO
Broncos' Audric Estime: Paces ground attack in loss
Estime rushed 14 times for 53 yards in the Broncos' 16-14 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Estime was given the largest workload of his brief career, with backfield mate Javonte Williams surprisingly limited to just one rush attempt overall. The rookie handled the additional responsibility well, posting a new career high in rushing yards. The lack of involvement in the passing game was far from ideal, but Estime could have plenty of opportunity again in a Week 11 home matchup against the Falcons.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Impressive rushing day in loss
Irving rushed 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.
Irving outpaced Rachaad White by three carries and 42 rushing yards while adding his fourth rushing TD of the season on a 12-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Irving's carry total was the second highest of his young career, and he now has six straight games with multiple receptions. The 2024 fourth-round pick should enjoy a solid complementary role at minimum in a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants following a Week 11 bye.

D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Bears' D'Andre Swift: Tough sledding in Week 10
Swift carried the ball 16 times for 59 yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Patriots.
The Bears came into the game missing both starting tackles on the offensive line and then saw left guard Teven Jenkins go down to an ankle injury in the first half, and the offense simply couldn't get anything going without consistent blocking. Rookie QB Caleb Williams took the worst of it, getting sacked nine times, but Swift also failed to average 4.0 yards a carry or get into the end zone for the third straight game. Unless the offensive line gets healthier, it will be tough to rely on any part of the Chicago offense heading into a Week 11 rivalry game against Green Bay.

Jonathan Taylor RB | IND
Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Over 100 total yards in loss
Taylor rushed 21 times for 114 yards and secured two of four targets for eight yards in the Colts' 30-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Taylor was the only Colts running back to log a carry and helped his final total significantly with a 58-yard run in the latter portion of the first quarter. Taylor exceeded 100 yards on the ground for the second time in the last three games and fourth time overall on the season, and he now has multiple receptions in three of the past four contests as well. Taylor should remain very busy in a Week 11 road matchup against an inconsistent Jets run defense.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Best yardage total since Week 5
Stevenson carried the ball 20 times for 74 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
After eking out just 82 rushing yards total over the prior three games, Stevenson nearly matched that mark Sunday, although his longest gain went for only 11 yards. However, after scoring four TDs in the last two contests, he failed to get into the end zone this time around. Stevenson's 3.8 yards per carry this season is a career low, but he's already scored a career-high seven touchdowns through nine games while amassing 614 scrimmage yards. He'll try to hit paydirt again in Week 11 against the Rams.
