  • Raiders' Alexander Mattison: Nine carries in loss

    Mattison rushed nine times for 36 yards in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    Mattison once again led the Raiders' backfield in carries, outpacing Zamir White, who did score a rushing touchdown, by three attempts overall. Neither back was targeted in the passing game, and the non-fantasy-friendly pecking order is likely to persist through a Week 10 bye and into a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Piles up yardage against Dallas

    Robinson carried the ball 19 times for 86 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.

    The 145 scrimmage yards were a season high for Robinson, and the second-year RB has hit triple digits in four straight games and six of nine so far in 2024. His performance could have been even bigger, but Tyler Allgeier vultured a six-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter after Robinson had done most of the work to get Atlanta into the red zone. Robinson will look to keep rolling in Week 10 against a reeling Saints defense that just gave up two rushing TDs to Chuba Hubbard in a loss to the Panthers.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Stymied by Chargers in loss

    Chubb rushed 15 times for 39 yards and brought in his only target for minus-4 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    The Browns tried in vain to establish the ground game via Chubb, but the Chargers defense repeatedly proved it was up to the task. The veteran has already proven capable of handling a double-digit carry workload over his first three games back from last season's devastating knee injury, but Cleveland's offensive line has failed to open up any holes for him on a consistent basis. Chubb does draw a favorable matchup on paper in a Week 11 road trip to New Orleans following a Week 10 bye.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Heavy workload against NE

    Pollard rushed the ball 28 times for 128 yards in Sunday's 29-17 overtime win against the Patriots. He added three receptions on three targets for 26 yards.

    Pollard entered Sunday's game questionable due to a foot injury after failing to practice in any capacity throughout the week. That was hardly apparent in Sunday's win, as he dominated rushing attempts out of the Titans' backfield and was also efficient with the opportunity. He accounted for the team's longest play from scrimmage with a 32-yard rush on Tennessee's first possession, setting up a touchdown on the next play. Overall, four of Pollard's 28 carries went for double-digit gains, and he narrowly missed out on an even bigger performance after having a touchdown nullified by a holding call. He should remain a key playmaker in Tennessee's offense moving forward.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Two touchdowns in narrow win

    Hubbard rushed 15 times for 72 yards and two touchdowns and brought in two of three targets for no gain in the Panthers' 23-22 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Hubbard saw his second straight 15-carry tally and recorded his first multi-touchdown effort of the season via one- and 16-yard runs in the second half. The second score provided the game-tying points and saw Hubbard break multiple tackles on the way to the end zone, underscoring what he's brought to the table amid the Panthers' struggles. Hubbard is expected to face a challenge to his workload from Jonathon Brooks (knee) when the latter potentially makes a Week 10 debut, but Hubbard should remain atop Carolina's ground attack against the Giants in Germany.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | PIT

    Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Tops 100 scrimmage yards in loss

    Dowdle carried the ball 12 times for 75 yards and caught five of six targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.

    The running back produced more than 100 combined yards for the second time in his last three games, and his three-yard TD catch from Dak Prescott (hamstring) in the second quarter was Dowdle's third touchdown reception in his last four contests. He's still looking for his first rushing score of the season, but Dowdle continues to solidify his hold on the starting job in the Cowboys' backfield. Prescott is headed for an MRI on Monday, and if he ends up missing a Week 10 clash with the Eagles, Dallas could lean more heavily on Dowdle with Cooper Rush under center instead.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Gets seven carries to Tracy's 16

    Singletary rushed seven times for 33 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders.

    Tyrone Tracy cleared concussion protocol Friday and reprised his role as the Giants' lead back, limiting Singletary to a change-of-pace role. New York's running game is well positioned for success in Week 10 against the generous Panthers defense in Germany, but Singletary will likely continue to cede the majority of carries to Tracy.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Gets 17 touches in Week 9 loss

    Tracy (concussion) rushed 16 times for 66 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders.

    Tracy didn't have any limitations after clearing concussion protocol Friday, as the rookie running back's 16 rushing attempts marked the fourth-highest total of his young career. He worked as the clear lead back over Devin Singletary, who rushed seven times for 33 yards. Tracy has a juicy Week 10 matchup coming up against the Panthers in Munich, Germany.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Eclipses 200 total yards in loss

    Kamara rushed 29 times for 155 yards and secured six of nine targets for 60 yards in the Saints' 23-22 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    With Jamaal Williams (inactive, groin) and Kendre Miller (IR, hamstring) unavailable, Kamara logged his heaviest workload of the season and made excellent use of the opportunity against a highly vulnerable defense. The versatile veteran was the Saints' leader in both rushing and receiving yards, with the former total a season high and latter tally partly the byproduct of Chris Olave exiting the game in the first quarter due to a concussion. Kamara now has at least five receptions in six consecutive games heading into a Week 10 home divisional matchup against the Falcons.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Gets free for 63-yard receiving TD

    Davis rushed four times for 20 yards while catching both of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.

    Most of Davis' production came on a 63-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. He finished third among Bills running backs in rushing yards behind James Cook (10 carries for 44 yards) and Ty Johnson (three carries for 23 yards). Cook will likely continue to lead Buffalo's backfield in touches as long as he's healthy, so while Davis has flashed promising skills as both a rusher and a pass catcher, the rookie fourth-round pick's short-term fantasy value is capped by a lack of opportunities.
