Cardinals
Drake is back healthy and running well. He rushed for 100 yards in this one while Edmonds fell back into his change of pace role, rushing for 56 yards while adding three catches for 21 yards on three targets.
Ravens
This backfield is a mess when everyone is healthy and as you see above, the usage was all fairly similar between the three. Baltimore has a great Week 11 matchup against the Titans but you can't reliably play any of the running backs in this offense and expect production.
Bills
Buffalo didn't need to run in Week 10 with Josh Allen and Kyler Murray going back and forth. The Bills running game has been an afterthought for two straight weeks and therefore, so has the fantasy value for these two.
Panthers
Mike Davis has not been very effective for a few weeks now but with CMC still on the shelf he will still see the majority of the snaps. Panthers have a great matchup against the Lions in Week 11 which will give Davis a shot to put up another top week.
Bears
Yup, you are seeing that correctly, it was Patterson that lead the Bears backfield with 12 carries against the Vikings in Week 10. It looks like Patterson is going to be the lead back for however long David Montgomery is on the shelf.
Bengals
Bernard will continue to be the lead running back in this offense. In Week 11 the Bengals have a tough matchup against the Washington Football Team but Bernard's contributions in the passing game will help his value.
Browns
Chubb returned and we saw an even split and both running backs ran for 100 yards in Week 10. The Browns will continue to use a committee backfield with Hunt seeing the passing down work.
Broncos
Gordon is the bset back in this offense but the Broncos struggles have kept the production of both backs limited in recent weeks. Gordon's lack of usage in the passing game has been confusing.
Lions
FINALLY!! Swift was unleashed and he ran all over the Washington Football Team. Unfortunately, Swift suffered a concussion and has been ruled out for Week 11 which will leave either Peterson or Johnson as the lead back against the Panthers.
Packers
Aaron Jones, when healthy, is going to lead this backfield in snaps and touches but it's also clear that Jamaal Williams will continue to have a role in this offens given his overall skillset as both a runner and pass catcher. The Packers offense will have their hands full against the Colts defense that ranks among the leagues best units this season.
Texans
With David Johnson dealing with a concussion we will continue to see Duke Johnson lead the backfield in carries. In Week 10, Johnson faced a tough Browns defensive front but in Week 11 he will run against a Patriots defense that ranks towards the bottom of the league in DVOA against the run this season.
Colts
Hines was the jackpot winner this week as he was all over the place against the Titans, totaling a team high 17 touches while finding the end zone twice. This backfield is going to be a week-to-week toss up but it's also looking like Jonathan Taylor is taking a backseat and could very well be the third wheel.
Jaguars
There is no threat here Robinson is going to be the guy on the field for almost all offensive snaps for the Jaguars.
Rams
Hey, look at that huh? Akers lead the team in carries as he finally saw the field as the Rams came out of their bye week. Unfortunately, he failed to score any of the three rushing touchdowns by the Rams as Malcolm Brown scored twice and Darrell Henderson scored once.
Chargers
Anthony Lynn has said that Kalen Ballage will be the team's primiary running back moving foward. I suspect that will only last as long as Austin Ekeler is on the shelf which could be ending soon.
Raiders
Booker saw extended volume in this game but make no mistake about it, Jacobs is the bellcow and he had himself quite the performance in Week 10 as he rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns against the Broncos.
Dolphins
With Miles Gaskin still on IR it has been Ahmed leading the way. Matt Brieda is expected to play in Week 11 however the reports are that Ahmed will remain the lead back as head coach Brian Flores wants to see what he has in the young running back.
Vikings
Dalvin Cook has been a mosnter this season and even in a tough matchup against the Bears he still saw 30 carries for 96 yards. In Week 11 he will try his hand against a Cowboys defense that has been scortched all season long.
Patriots
Rex Burkhead scored twice and Damien Harris ran for 100-yards for the third time this season. Both backs have to be looking forward to the Patriots Week 11 matchup against the Texans and their poor run defense.
Saints
Pretty even split in the carries department but it was Kamara that once again lead the team in targets. Drew Brees was injured in Week 10 and reports are that Taysom Hill will start in Week 11 which could impact Kamara's value with Hill more of an option QB than a drop back passer.
Giants
Gallman continues to find the end zone and with Devonta Freeman to IR it is clear that Gallman will continue to be the Giants lead back this season.
Eagles
Miles Sanders looked awesome in his return from IR but it was both Boston Scott and Corey Clement that found the end zone. While frusterating that he did not score a touchdown, fantasy owners have to be thrilled with the way he ran on Sunday.
Steelers
The Steelers ran away with their Week 10 game against the Bengals but Conner struggled yet again from a fantasy performance. He will have a chance to redeem himself in Week 11 when the Steelers face a bad Jaguars defense that has really struggled to stop the run.
Seahawks
Alex Collins lead the backfield in Week 10 but it was Carlos Hyde who lead the backfield in Week 11 against the Cardinals. We know the pecking order of this backfield for as long as Chris Carson is on the sideline.
49ers
The 49ers are on a bye this week and it is expected that Raheem Mostert will be back from IR when they return to play in Week 12. Jamycal Hasty suffered a broken collar bone in this one and landed himself on IR.
Buccaneers
One week it's Ronald Jones, the next week it's Leonard Fournette and in Week 10 it was Ronald Jones once again as he nearly rushed for 200 yards against the Panthers which included a 96-yard touchdown run. When the Buccaneers are controlling a game we should expect to see Jones in the backfield with Fournette playing a bigger role in games where they need to throw more.
Titans
Derrick Henry will continue to dominate the touches in this backfield but if you are looking to handcuff Henry I think it's pretty safe to add D'Onta Foreman who is working his way into that backup rotation.
Washington
McKissic saw 15 targets in Week 10 after seeing 14 targets in Week 9. Alex Smith loves to checkdown and McKissic should continue to be a great play in PPR leagues. We did see Gibson run for two touchdowns in this one which should be encouraging for fantasy owners in knowing that he will have a role in this offense with Alex Smith under center.
Player News
Seahawks exercised the fifth-year option on OT Charles Cross.
Cross now remains tied to the organization through the 2026 season. PFF gave the towering 24-year-old tackle glaring marks in 2024, ranking him 10th of 140 qualified tackles, including 15th in pass protection and 16th in run blocking. The Seahawks extend the negotiating window on one of the key pieces of their offensive front.
Browns signed WR Diontae Johnson to a one-year contract.
The former Steeler wasn’t able to carve out a significant role with the Panthers, Ravens, or Texans in 2024 after seemingly breaking out in Pittsburgh. The Browns apparently saw enough during his visit with the team Monday to sign him to a one-year contract, the details of which have yet to be released. Expect Johnson to start opposite Cedric Tillman on the perimeter while Jerry Jeudy works the slot.
ESPN’s Field Yates reports Browns placed the unrestricted free agent tender on WR Elijah Moore.
Moore visited the Bills on Monday and then saw the Browns place the unrestricted free agent tender on him. Per Field Yates, this means that Moore will count against the compensatory free agent formula should he sign with another team. He’ll play on the tender if he returns to the Browns, which carries a value of $3.428 million for wide receivers in 2025.
Fox Sports’ Jordan Szhultz reports Packers signed LB/S Isaiah Simmons, formerly of the Giants.
The former first-round hybrid linebacker and safety has yet to live up to his No. 8 overall selection in the 2020 draft, but brings the unique ability to fill multiple positions over the middle of the field to a Packers defense that prefers to play a more inside-out style. There is upside in his athletic profile and versatility - perhaps another change of scenery will serve to unlock some of that potential.
Steelers signed WR Robert Woods, formerly of the Texans, to a one-year, $2 million contract.
The 33-year-old wide receiver has long since seen his days of 100-target seasons fall by the wayside, but he still adds a veteran presence to a relatively young wide receiver room in Pittsburgh. Woods played over 60% of the offensive snaps for the Texans just twice in 2024 after doing so 13 times in 2023, indicating a high likelihood he was brought in for his locker room presence and veteran savvy rather than as a consistent contributor to the offense. The low risk signing makes sense for both parties considering Woods’ age and the state of the Pittsburgh pass-catching corps.
KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports the Browns met with free agent WR Diontae Johnson.
Johnson had a forgettable 2024, to put it mildly. The former Steelers receiver saw himself traded to the Panthers last offseason only to later be traded to the Ravens, where his lack of playing time eventually led to his release. He then found his way to the wide receiver-needy Texans, who rostered him for just over three weeks. He was then claimed off waivers by the Ravens but was not eligible to play during the postseason. Now a free agent, Johnson, 28, has not enjoyed the market many expected him to see this time last year. He’s a productive receiver who has amassed 424 catches for 4,738 yards and 28 touchdowns in his six-year career, but it goes without saying that he’s likely in brand rebuilding mode as far as this offseason is concerned. It’s hard to imagine any team giving him a lucrative contract after last year’s disastrous campaign. That said, Johnson could still still provide help to plenty of needy teams and could prove to be a valuable contributor at a cost-efficient price. This is the first visit we’ve heard of for Johnson, who may meet with other teams before signing.
