Cowboys | Tyler Goodson will miss 'multiple weeks' Mon Nov 9, 04:54 PM
Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson will miss "multiple weeks" with a knee injury, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Goodson was injured in Sunday's win over the Colts. Dallas has become more reliant on the run, but will now need to look elsewhere for additional depth behind Javonte Williams until Goodson is healthy enough to return to the field. |

Texans | DeMeco Ryans hopeful Montgomery practices this week or next Mon Nov 9, 03:34 PM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that he's hopeful to get RB David Montgomery (groin) practicing this week or next week. Ryans said he is pleased with Montgomery's 'progress.'
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was injured in an Oct. 11 game against the Titans and has missed the past three games. The Texans traded for Montgomery in the offseason, and he has 52 carries for 138 yards and two touchdowns, while adding seven catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Woody Marks has served as the team's primary back in Montgomery's absence. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs to have finger surgery, 'expected to miss a maximum of three weeks' Mon Nov 9, 03:05 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs will undergo surgery on his fractured finger and "is expected to miss a maximum of three weeks," The Athletic's Matt Zenitz reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Patriots. He has 80 rushing yards on 36 carries (2.2 yards per carry) this season. With MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks missing Sunday's game, Kaleb Johnson filled in and finished with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. We'll be watching for more on Brooks and Lloyd when the team begins preparing for Sunday's game against the Vikings. |

Panthers | Panthers to 'see how the next two days go' before opening Brooks' window Mon Nov 9, 01:32 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team will have to see how the next two days go before deciding whether to open the 21-day practice window for RB Jonathon Brooks, who was placed on injured reserve in September following core muscle surgery.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com reported, Brooks, who remains on IR, was seen working off to the side during the Panthers' unofficial practice last Tuesday, perhaps signaling some progress for the oft-injured RB, who last saw game action in Week 2. In Brooks' absence, Chuba Hubbard has dominated Carolina's backfield touches. Hubbard is currently RB10 overall through Sunday's Week 9 games. |

Cowboys | Tyler Goodson 'probably gonna miss some time' Mon Nov 9, 01:31 PM
Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson (knee) is "probably gonna miss some time," Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday. "He's got a real injury that unfortunately he's probably gonna miss some time with," Jones said.
| Footballguys view: Goodson was hurt in Sunday's win over the Colts and was initially questionable to return before going back into the game. As SI.com noted, Goodson's injury stings because he provided some explosiveness to the running game as the offense was attempting to get back on track. Dallas has become more reliant on the run, but will now need to look elsewhere for additional depth behind Javonte Williams until Goodson is healthy enough to return to the field. |

Buccaneers | Bowles says Bucs will 'try and lessen the load' on Bucky Irving after bye Mon Nov 9, 12:45 PM
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving has run well but is on pace for 315 rushing attempts this season. Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that the team will have to try and lessen the load on Irving after the bye week.
| Footballguys view: Irving had a game-high 97 yards on 20 carries and both of Tampa's touchdowns in Sunday night's loss to the Bears. He added a team-high four receptions for 28 yards. With Tampa sitting at 3-0 this season when Irving hits 100 yards rushing, he fell just short this night, and so did the Bucs. The question is, will limiting his workload also limit the offense? We'll be watching for more on this over the Buccaneers bye week. |

Raiders | Ashton Jeanty plays 64% of snaps vs. 49ers, Washington at 34% Mon Nov 9, 12:05 PM
Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty played 64% of the team's offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. played 34% of the offensive snaps. In the previous week's win over the Jets, Washington out-snapped Jeanty 38-25.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders' running back situation has been awful all season, but it hit a new low in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Jeanty had a historically bad game catching passes out of the backfield, finishing with five catches for negative five yards. Jeanty was their leading rusher, with 25 yards on six carries. Washington had six carries for negative three yards. Between the two of them, Jeanty and Washington had 17 touches for 17 yards. Things won't get easier for the duo going up against the Seahawks in Week 10. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo 'very close' to playing Sunday, expected to be 'full go' Thursday Mon Nov 9, 11:49 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was "very close" to playing in Sunday's win over the Eagles, head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday. The team chose not to take that risk, but the expectation is that Skattebo will be "full go" for Thursday night's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo suffered a hamstring injury late in the Giants' Week 7 win over the Texans and missed practice for two days coming out of the bye week. He returned on Friday, but the team had this week's quick turnaround in mind when making a plan for managing his health. With Skattebo watching from the sideline, Devin Singletary was the lead back for the Giants against the Eagles, and he ran 21 times for 31 yards. Gregory Desrosiers had 20 yards on three carries. |

Titans | Saleh feels good about RBs; Singleton 'getting better', Spears dealing with injury Mon Nov 9, 09:30 AM

Spears was ruled out of the Week 8 game against the Bengals with a knee injury.

Browns | Dylan Sampson plays 22 more snaps than Quinshon Judkins in Week 9 Mon Nov 9, 08:49 AM
Browns RB Dylan Sampson played 22 more offensive snaps than RB Quinshon Judkins in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Saints.
| Footballguys view: Judkins still ran the ball 15 times for 43 yards, but as Pro Football Focus noted, his receiving production has plummeted since Sampson's return, with four receptions over the last three games. Sampson ran eight times and was no more effective, but he caught three passes for 27 yards. As PFF's Nathan Jahnke pointed out, the Browns have a generally favorable schedule for running backs, so there could be some games where Judkins can be in fantasy starting lineups. However, if the Browns are underdogs, it may make sense to consider Sampson more than Judkins. |

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson's knee injury the 'top concern' after loss to Packers Mon Nov 9, 06:00 AM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson's knee injury is the "top concern" coming out of Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers. Stevenson injured his knee with 3:29 left in the third quarter and did not return. He played 38 offensive snaps before exiting.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson played 38 of 63 offensive snaps (60%) before departing. With RB TreVeyon Henderson already out due to an illness, RBs Corey Kiner and Lan Larison are next on the depth chart. They are likely to see increased opportunities should Stevenson show any signs of limitations heading into the Week 10 game against Detroit in Munich. Larison played 14 snaps and Kiner 11 on Sunday. |

Josh Jacobs 'fractured a finger,' LaFleur hopeful he can play Sun Nov 8, 08:09 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs fractured a finger in Sunday's win over the Patriots, head coach Matt LaFleur said. "Hopefully, we can do something to allow him to go out there. But he was having a hard time gripping the ball," LaFleur said. Jacobs left Sunday's game with the hand injury.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs left the 45-27 win in the first quarter. His day ended with five yards on four carries. With MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks missing the game, Kaleb Johnson filled in and finished with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. The health of Green Bay's backfield will be something to monitor heading into next Sunday's game against the Vikings. |

Patriots | RB Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined by knee injury Sun Nov 8, 07:31 PM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers with 3:29 left. He did not return (knee).
| Footballguys view: As SB Nation noted, Stevenson was again one of their most consistent sources of offense before departing. He totaled over 70 yards and a touchdown but also lost a fumble. With Stevenson sidelined, New England turned the backfield over to Lan Larison and Corey Kiner. The Patriots did not need to push Stevenson to return down multiple scores, so we'll be watching for more on the severity of this one. |

Giants | Singletary gets 21 carries with Skattebo out, Harbaugh not seeking 'short-term fix' Sun Nov 8, 07:01 PM
Giants RB Devin Singletary got 21 carries in Sunday's 19-11 win over the Eagles with RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) out, more than the 18 carries he had all season to date. Rookie RB Gregory Desrosiers, elevated from the practice squad, carried three times for 20 yards. Head coach John Harbaugh said the Giants are "making a lot of calls" ahead of the trade deadline but added, "We're not just going to go for a short-term fix at an exorbitant cost."
| Footballguys view: The Giants play on Thursday night, so Skattebo is questionable at best, and the team has a short time to onboard any running back they would acquire before Thursday's game. They do have a 2+ game lead on the Cowboys and should be thinking like a playoff team, but not too aggressively, as the Giants probably don't have the quarterback play to advance deep into the postseason. |

Patriots | RB Rhamondre Stevenson injured in the third quarter vs. Packers Sun Nov 8, 06:55 PM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was injured on a play in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers with 3:29 left. No return designation has been posted yet.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson left with a knee injury and was ruled out. He had six carries for 32 yards and three receptions for 46 yards and a score before leaving. Corey Kiner is the next man up on early downs with Lan Larison the passing down back for any games that Stevenson misses. The Patriots travel to Munich, Germany to face the Lions next week and then have a bye, so hopefully Stevenson will only miss one game. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs suffers hand injury, doesn't return against Patriots Sun Nov 8, 04:54 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs suffered a hand injury did not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after carrying the ball for five yards on four carries.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs got his finger stuck in a facemask and did not return to the game. The Packers have been rumored to be in the market for a running back, given the uncertainty about the NFL's disciplinary process's handling of new domestic violence allegations against Jacobs, and now that need becomes more urgency. Kaleb Johnson flashed with a 34-yard run and a score, but the Packers can't rely on him or MarShawn Lloyd, who missed this game with a knee injury. |

Cowboys | Williams runs for 101 yards, one TD in win over Colts Sun Nov 8, 04:35 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 23 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 16.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.4.
| Footballguys view: Tyler Goodson added 77 yards on his 12 carries as the Cowboys offensive line had its best run-blocking performance of the season. Williams has two 100-yard games in his last three outings heading into a home game against the 49ers. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 102 yards, one TD, two receiving TDs in win over Jets Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Ken Walker III ran 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 34.3.
| Footballguys view: Walker had cooled off with only 141 total yards and no scores in the last two games. He atoned this week by piling up 143 total yards and finding paydirt three times. He overwhelmed a Jets defense that has been beaten just about every way you can beat a defense in the last three weeks. Walker will take aim at a weary Falcons defense that got run ragged by Joe Burrow in Madrid today. |
