30 Rushes, 209 Yards, 1 Touchdown
3 Receptions, 46 Yards, 3 Targets, 1 Touchdown
NEP: +14.04

Putting up the second highest weekly score by a running back this season, Seattle's Thomas Rawls stepped in admirably this week after the late scratch of Marshawn Lynch. Rawls was on a tear this week, as his +14.04 NEP boost was the second highest by a running back this season, behind only Lamar Miller's Week 7 performance.

At home against a struggling 49ers team, Rawls was given a ridiculous 30 carries and was able to pick up 209 rushing yards and a touchdown in the process. His 30 carries were the most by a Seattle running back since 2011 by Lynch. Rawls finished the day with the second most rushing yards in team history. He also picked up 3 receptions for 46 yards on all 3 of his targets, scoring a touchdown in the process on a nice 31-yard swing pass.

Rawls finished the day as the top scoring running back in PPR formats, putting up a ridiculous 40.5 points that has only been topped once this season. Rawls displayed vision, speed, and physicality all afternoon, running through defenders for additional yards.

The rest of this week's top performers were led by Doug Martin, who also racked up the yardage this week, picking up 235 yards on the ground and finishing the day with a +9.28 NEP. His 84-yard run was the longest in Tampa Bay history. Giovani Bernard showed off his receiving skill in a close Sunday Night Football game, catching 8 of his 10 targets for 128 receiving yards and adding an additional 18 on the ground. Spencer Ware filled in after Charcandrick West exited the game early with a hamstring injury and ran for 96 yards and a pair of touchdowns on just 11 carries. James White was able to reach the end zone twice on just four touches, and Theo Riddick had an efficient receiving day to round out this week's list.
