Backfield Breakdown: Week 10 Running Back Usage (with Week 11 Waivers Preview)

This article is part of our Backfield Breakdown series.

It's a good week to have waiver priority (or plenty of FAAB) in leagues with 10 or fewer teams, where rookies Rachaad White and Isiah Pacheco may still be available. They were the two big gainers this week in terms of role, though we also saw positive developments for a few veterans, including Miami's Jeff Wilson. Check out all that and more below in the most comprehensive weekly look at RB usage and roles anywhere on the internet.

Sorting by these 'delta' columns is a quick way to see which backs got more/less work than usual, be it due to injury, game script or a role change (any of which will be discussed in the game-by-game section at the bottom of this article.

  • Singletary scored rushing TDs from five and one yards out in the first quarter... his first two rushing TDs of the season (he had a receiving score Week 3 at Miami).
  • This was Singletary's fourth straight game playing more than 70% of snaps.
    • He's averaged 13.0 carries for 55.8 yards and 0.5 TDs in that time, plus 2.5 catches for 15.5 yards.
  • Hines barely played for a second straight week, catching his lone target for nine yards, while Cook remained the No. 2 back and took five carries for 22 yards.
  • Duke Johnson made his first appearance of the year, taking two carries for four yards and returning seven kickoffs for 157 yards.

  • The Chiefs held Etienne to 11-45-0 and 3-28-0; easily his worst outing since the James Robinson trade, though Etienne fell right around the 80% snap share mark again.
    • Etienne has four straight games now in the range of 78-to-81 percent snap share.

  • Edwards-Helaire played only four snaps and saw two incomplete targets.
    • CEH played 25 or more snaps in each of KC's first six games, then 17 snaps in Week 7, 17 more in Week 9 and then four in Week 10.
  • McKinnon tied his season high of eight targets, which he also did the week before against Tennessee. Before that, he had three in a row with exactly three targets. 
    • In terms of playing time, McKinnon's role hasn't changed much as Edwards-Helaire's has shrunk. It's the rookie taking work off CEH's plate.

  • Johnson got all his playing time on the final drive. Prior to that, Chubb played 59% of snaps and Hunt took 43%, with the former putting up 11-63-1 rushing and 3-18-0 receiving.
    • Chubb saved his fantasy day with a 33-yard TD on his final carry, bringing the Browns within 13 points early in the fourth quarter. The Dolphins essentially put it away with a five-minute FG drive, then ended any doubt with a fourth-down stop on Cleveland's ensuing drive.
  • The seven touches for Hunt were his third fewest this season.
    • Hunt has seen a dozen or more touches six times, but in the other three games (Weeks 6-7, 10) he finished with four, six and seven.

  • Mostert technically started but played a season-low 28% of snaps, while Wilson took 61% and had more than twice as many carries.

  • Williams scored yet another goal-line TD, the game-winner, after Swift had lost a yard on a carry from the 1-yard line earlier in the game. Williams finished with 16-59-1 on the ground and zero targets; his third time in the past five weeks without a single target.
  • Jackson played 22% of early down snaps and 45% of third downs, taking six touches for 28 yards.

  • The Saints got crushed in time of possession and play volume for a second straight week.
    • Kamara's two largest snap shares have come the past two weeks with Mark Ingram (knee) out, but it might be more about not needing breathers/rest with the other team possessing the ball so much.

  • Warren got his second largest snap share of the season and had new highs for carries (nine), touches (12) and total yards (77).
    • Harris still got more snaps and carries, enjoying one of his better real-life games with 20 carries for 99 yards. (It didn't do much for fantasy managers, given the lack of catches and touchdowns).
