  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Finds end zone in defeat

    Johnson rushed two times for six yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    Johnson posted between 25 and 30 yards in Weeks 3 through 5. However, the veteran has rushed seven times for 14 yards over Chicago's last two games. With D'Andre Swift playing at a high level, Johnson may have limited touches going forward.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Modest numbers in win

    Robinson rushed the ball 16 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears. He added one reception on one target for 11 yards.

    The Commanders let standout rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels lead the offense, as he took to the air 38 times and also accounted for eight of the team's 32 rush attempts. Nevertheless, Robinson had a decent performance when called upon, tallying a long gain of 19 yards while gaining at least four yards on half of his 16 carries. The Commanders' only touchdown came on a Hail Mary to end the game, which also ended Robison's four-game streak of reaching the end zone.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Excellent performance in loss

    Swift rushed the ball 18 times for 129 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders.

    Chicago's offense was sluggish coming out of its bye, and Swift was no exception as he managed only 10 carries for 31 yards at halftime. He got things rolling in the final two quarters, however, highlighted by a 56-yard touchdown late in the third quarter as well as a 22-yard scamper early in the fourth quarter. With the performance, Swift topped 100 yards on the ground for the first time this season and now has taken a trip to the end zone in four straight contests.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Monster game Sunday

    Cook rushed 17 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns while adding 22 yards on three receptions in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Cook was the star on offense in a one-sided affair Sunday, running roughshod over Seattle's porous rushing defense en route to two scores. The 24-year-old had already scored twice in a game this season, but this was his first 100-plus-yard rushing contest in 2024. Cook has now produced a combined 597 yards from scrimmage with eight total touchdowns through seven games, making him an elite fantasy tailback heading into next Sunday's tilt against Miami.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    49ers' Jordan Mason: Hurts shoulder on SNF

    Mason (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Mason stayed down after a first-quarter run, checked back into the game but subsequently went to the locker room after rushing six times for 18 yards. He had been playing through an AC joint sprain in his shoulder that he suffered in Week 6 against the Seahawks, so this is presumably an aggravation of that injury. Isaac Guerendo will lead San Francisco's backfield if Mason's unable to return Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Falters on 13 touches

    Walker rushed nine times for 12 yards and caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

    Walker was dealing with an illness leading up to Sunday's kickoff, but it was a negative game script that led to an abysmal showing from a fantasy perspective. Seattle's leading rusher wound up being quarterback Geno Smith (5-16-0) on a day during which the rushing attack could get nothing going. Walker was coming off consecutive appearances with at least one touchdown scored, so fantasy managers should simply move past this dud as the Seahawks prepare to host the Rams next Sunday.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Scores in win over Raiders

    Hunt (hip) rushed 21 times for 58 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Las Vegas.

    Hunt was dealing with a hip injury in practice this week, but he suited up without restrictions in Sunday's win. The veteran tailback eclipsed 20 carries for the third consecutive week since taking over as the starter in Kansas City. With four touchdowns in as many games, Hunt remains a strong fantasy option heading into next Monday's tilt against Tampa Bay.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Shows some burst in loss

    Kamara posted 10 carries for 67 yards and gathered in six of 11 targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 26-8 loss to the Chargers.

    Kamara added a spark to the listless Saints offense Week 8. The 29-year-old is still working his way back after dealing with a broken hand suffered Week 5 and broken ribs suffered Week 3, but neither appeared to affect him as he logged three explosive plays Sunday. This included a team-long 37-yard reception on a screen pass and a 24-yard carry on which he fought through multiple defenders. Kamara still logged his second-fewest carries of any game this season, and he's now averaged 10.3 rushing attempts and 8.5 targets per game over the last four weeks. While his workload has taken a slight dip recently, Kamara should still play a significant role during next week's game versus the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 3.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Chargers' J.K. Dobbins: Gets 21 touches, TD in Week 8 win

    Dobbins rushed 17 times for 57 yards and a touchdown while catching four of seven targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Saints.

    Dobbins scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the season on a one-yard run in the second quarter. He tied for the team lead in targets with Will Dissly, but Ladd McConkey keyed LA's passing offense by catching all six of his targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Dobbins has a high touch floor as the clear lead back for the Chargers heading into a Week 9 road game against the Browns.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Bengals' Zack Moss: Clear second fiddle again Sunday

    Moss rushed five times for 11 yards and secured all four targets for 28 yards in the Bengals' 37-17 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Moss was seven carries behind backfield mate Chase Brown, although he was more involved in the passing game than the latter. Moss's reception total tied for his second highest of the season, and he now has a 7-61 line through the air on seven targets over the last two games. Moss projects for another hard-to-trust complementary role during a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders.
