– Clinton Portis (4 carries, 4 yards) left the game with a concussion. Ladell Betts (16 touches, 93 yards, TD) got most of the touches, but Rock Cartwright (7 carries, 16 yards) was also involved.
– Ray Rice (12 carries, 48 yards, TD) scored in the ground game, but did a ton of damage (8-87) through the air. He is on pace for 92 catches.
– Michael Turner (18 carries, 166 yards, 2 TD) now has 10 TD on the year. He has ran very well over the last few weeks.
– Tim Hightower (16 touches, 88 yards) and Chris Wells (13 carries, 72 yards) evenly split the work in the Arizona backfield.
– Matt Forte (5 carries, 33 yards) didn’t a lot of carries in the running game, but went for 6-74 in the passing game.
– Cedric Benson (34 carries, 117 yards, TD) grinded out a nice game against a pretty stout Ravens rush defense. He’s an every-week start.
– Joesph Addai (19 touches, 112 yards, 2 TD) continues to be a very good start with Donald Brown sidelined.
– Ryan Moats (19 touches, 53 yards, TD) got the start, but Steve Slaton (9 touches, 29 yards, TD) was involved. Moats did fumble around the goal line.
– Jamaal Charles (6 carries, 36 yard) and Kolby Smith (4 carries, 17 yards) split what little work there was in the KC backfield. Charles (3-19) was active in the passing game.
– Laurence Maroney (20 carries, 82 yards, TD) should continue to see the lion’s share of the carries until Sammy Morris returns (reportedly in Week 11).
– Pierre Thomas (18 touches, 81 yards, TD) seems to have established himself as the Saints’ lead back again. Mike Bell (5 carries, 17 yards) and Reggie Bush (9 touches, 53 yards) were used in a complementary manner.
– In the last four games, DeAngelo Williams is averaging 137 rushing yards and 1.3 TD. He is starting to look like the guy who tore up the league last season, but he lost a costly fumble late in the game that sealed the win for the Saints.
– Julius Jones (22 touches, 114 yards, TD) got most of the work out of the Seattle backfield, but Justin Forsett had a nifty 14-yard carry and went for 5-45 in the passing game.
– LaDainian Tomlinson (14 carries, 30 yards) looks good when he’s in space, but there just aren’t the same running lanes available as there were when he was in his heyday.
– Brandon Jacobs (11 carries, 67 yards) was more productive than Ahmad Bradshaw (14 carries, 39 yards) but missed some time with a leg injury.
– Chris Johnson (25 carries, 135 yards, 2 TD) had another monster day and also went for 3-25 in the passing game.
– Frank Gore (15 carries, 83 yards, TD) was heavily involved in the rushing and passing games, catching 7-75 out of the backfield.
