Saquon Barkley RB | PHI
Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Had forearm examined briefly
Barkley rushed 14 times for 66 yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.
Barkley suffered an early injury to his left forearm, but he didn't miss much time and returned to start the second half Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. The star tailback didn't appear limited by the injury, outside of sporting a bandage on the affected area, and the blowout nature of the Eagles' win may have limited his playing time as well. Barkley has been one of the top performing players in fantasy this season, so managers should feel confident starting him against the Commanders on Thursday Night Football in Week 11.

Jordan Mims RB | MIN
Saints' Jordan Mims: Plays third fiddle again Week 10
Mims recorded two carries for 10 yards and gathered in one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Falcons.
Mims was once again the Saints' RB2 with Jamaal Williams (groin) sidelined for the second week in a row. The second-year running back still ran behind both starting running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Taysom Hill, as the two logged 17 and four carries, respectively. Mims has now totaled seven carries and three targets while filling in for Williams over the past two weeks. He'll likely have a minimal role if he once again fills in at RB2 during next week's game against Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Steps in as lead back
Etienne rushed the ball 11 times for 44 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings. He also recorded one catch on one target for negative one yard.
Etienne recorded the first carry of the game for the Jaguars, though he appeared destined to continue to split work with Tank Bigsby (ankle). However, Bigsby suffered an injury early in the first quarter and managed to return for only one carry in the second quarter before spending the rest of the game on the sidelines. Even with his highest carry total since Week 4, Etienne failed to make much of an impact, though he did have an apparent touchdown overturned upon review. He could be in line to lead the backfield again in Week 11 against the Lions, pending Bigsby's availability.

Austin Ekeler RB | WAS
Commanders' Austin Ekeler: Scores twice
Ekeler rushed the ball 13 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. He added one reception on two targets for seven yards.
Ekeler drew his second straight start due to Brian Robinson (hamstring) sidelined. Only one of his rush attempts went for double-digit yardage, though he made hay with a pair of one-yard touchdown runs. Ekeler was curiously uninvolved as a pass catcher, though that part of his game could return if Robinson can re-take the field in Week 11 against the Eagles, in turn pushing Ekeler back into a complementary role.

Jaleel McLaughlin RB | DEN
Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Limited to two carries Sunday
McLaughlin rushed two times for 12 yards in the Broncos' 16-14 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Sunday brought a changing of the guard to the Broncos backfield, as McLaughlin and Javonte Williams combined for just three carries to rookie Audric Estime's 14. McLaughlin had logged at least three rush attempts in each game this season and a combined 13 over his previous two contests, so the drop in involvement, which also included his third game without a target, was notable. McLaughlin figures to continue operating in a passing down role, whether it's behind Williams or Estime, in a Week 11 home matchup against the Falcons.

Najee Harris RB | NYG
Steelers' Najee Harris: Punches in third touchdown
Harris rushed the ball 21 times for 53 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He was not targeted.
Harris entered Sunday in the midst of one of the most productive stretches of his career by topping 100 yards in three consecutive games. He didn't continue that streak and was inefficient overall, but there were still some positive takeaways from his performance in Week 10. He led the Steelers' backfield, recording 21 touches as compared to 16 for Jaylen Warren. Harris also scored his third touchdown in his last four games with a one-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. It's also worth noting that Harris briefly left the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent ankle injury, though he did return on Pittsburgh's game-winning drive.

Gus Edwards RB | LAC
Chargers' Gus Edwards: Effective runner in return
Edwards carried the ball 10 times for 55 yards in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
It was a productive return for Edwards, who missed the previous four games due to an ankle injury. The bruising running back saw three red-zone carries, but most of them came closer to the 10-yard line as opposed to true goal-line work. Hassan Haskins was also given a chance to stick it to his former team, punching a one-yard touchdown in on the team's final touchdown drive that effectively ended the game. Edwards was looked at on the sideline by trainers briefly in the second half, and his production did fall off in the final 30 minutes, but that could easily be attributed to the Chargers wanting to get J.K. Dobbins the lion's share of the running back platoon.

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.
