Each week, SportsLine's Fantasy expert Jacob Gibbs will provide a data-driven deep-dive into Sunday's games to help provide a better understanding of what we learned and how it will impact the Fantasy outlook of specific teams and players.
Below, you can find full team-by-team data on snap counts, target share, routes run, red-zone usage and more for every Fantasy relevant running back. Check back later in the week for What We Learned, where Gibbs will break down all the takeaways you should have from Week 10, pulling largely from the information here and in his usage report for wide receivers and tight ends.

A player's route involvement rate simply represents the percentage of the team's total dropbacks on which that player ran a route. So, the running backs listed above ran a route on at least half of their team's dropbacks. Running routes is the first step towards drawing targets, which is key to unlocking Fantasy upside at the RB position.
