  • James Robinson: Back to practice squad

    Robinson reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

    Robinson appeared in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Chiefs, producing two yards on his only carry while reeling in a catch for minus-2 yards. With Aaron Jones (knee) potentially unavailable again in Week 14, the running back could be asked to rejoin the active roster again versus the Giants.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Little involvement with Achane back

    Wilson carried the ball four times for 11 yards during Sunday's 45-15 win over the Commanders.

    Wilson played third fiddle behind a healthy Raheem Mostert (11-43-1) and De'Von Achane (17-73-2), ultimately logging just five offensive snaps. Though Wilson's involvement may not always be that extremely marginal, it's clear that he lacks a path to significant volume as long as both Mostert and Achane are in the lineup. His fantasy value is limited to deep formats heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Titans.

  • Boston Scott RB | PIT

    Eagles' Boston Scott: Two touches in loss

    Scott finished Sunday's loss to the 49ers with one carry for two yards and a 27-yard reception.

    By Scott's low standards, it was a productive day, as his 29 total yards represented his second-highest tally of the season. It's possible Scott sees a bigger role next week against the Cowboys if D'Andre Swift's undisclosed injury is serious enough to keep him off the field, but if that doesn't happen, Scott's average of 1.7 touches per game leaves him far from fantasy consideration.

  • Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Suits up Monday night

    Etienne (ribs) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Bengals.

    After logging limited practices this past week, Etienne was listed as questionable ahead of the contest, though coach Doug Pederson told Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com on Saturday that he expected his top running back -- who recorded 20 carries for 56 yards and four catches for 30 yards in the Jaguars' Week 12 win over the Texans -- to be available Monday. Now that his active status has been confirmed, Etienne should continue to pace Jacksonville's backfield versus Cincinnati, with D'Ernest Johnson and Tank Bigsby on hand to mix in should Etienne deal with any in-game setbacks or limitations.

  • Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Helps fill in for injured Robinson

    Rodriguez took seven carries for 29 yards in a 45-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Rodriguez played a career-high 22 percent of Washington's snaps on offense, getting some extra work due to Brian Robinson missing the second half with a hamstring injury. It still didn't amount to much until garbage time -- he got four of his carries on Washington's final four snaps -- but there will be an opportunity for role expansion ahead if Robinson isn't ready after a Week 14 bye. The Commanders have a road game against the Rams in Week 15, and they might give Rodriguez more of a look down the stretch even if Robinson ends up being fine to play post-bye.

  • Patriots' Ezekiel Elliott: Limited on Monday's estimate

    Elliott (thigh) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Elliott was nursing a thigh injury heading into this past Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers, but he played through it and handled a season-high 21 touches, as Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) exited in the first half. Stevenson was listed as a non-participant Monday and is unlikely to play against the Steelers on Thursday, so if Elliott can avoid a setback with his thigh, he's likely to draw the start in a Patriots backfield that also includes Ty Montgomery and JaMycal Hasty.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Listed as DNP on Monday's estimate

    Stevenson (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    The Patriots didn't hold a practice Monday, but Stevenson wouldn't have participated had the team held a session. Stevenson injured his right ankle in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers and is believed to be dealing with a sprain, so he doesn't seem likely to suit up Thursday against the Steelers. Ezekiel Elliott is expected to lead New England's backfield in Stevenson's absence, though the former was listed as limited on Monday's estimate due to a thigh injury. Ty Montgomery and JaMycal Hasty round out New England's depth chart at running back.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Colts' Trey Sermon: Plays just one snap on offense

    Sermon played just one snap on offense in Sunday's overtime win at Tennessee. He had a drop on his only target.

    Sermon entered to the game as the backup to Zack Moss with Jonathan Taylor out with a thumb injury, but he didn't see the field on offense after his drop. Tyler Goodson played three snaps on offense and had two receptions, and he could overtake Sermon as the backup running back during the rest of Taylor's absence as a result.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Two receptions in backup role

    Goodson had two receptions for 11 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.

    Goodson played just three snaps on offense as the third running back behind starter Zack Moss with Jonathan Taylor out with a thumb injury. However, Trey Sermon played on just one snap and had a drop in the passing game, which could open more opportunities for Goodson while Taylor is sidelined.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Avoids concussion

    Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Henry is not in concussion protocol, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

    Henry didn't return to Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to the Colts after exiting in the fourth quarter to be checked for a concussion, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported after the game concluded that the running back was following the protocol. A day later, however, Vrabel said that Henry won't be subject to the protocol ahead of the Titans' Week 14 game against the Dolphins in Miami, with the coach noting that the three-time Pro Bowler felt fine after going through a workout Monday and hasn't been exhibiting any symptoms of a concussion. Assuming Henry doesn't experience any setbacks within the next few days, he should be ready to return to the field as a full participant when the Titans resume practicing Thursday. Before departing the loss to Indianapolis, Henry turned in a quality outing for fantasy managers, carrying 21 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns while adding an 18-yard reception on two targets.
