Kamara rushed 15 times for 69 yards and secured four of five targets for 50 yards in the Saints' 24-15 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Kamara led the Saints in rushing yards as usual and also had some solid contributions in the passing game with the Saints down Michael Thomas (IR-knee) to open the game and then losing both Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) during the contest. Kamara's rushing yardage total was his second highest of the campaign, and Sunday also marked his first time recording double-digit carries since Week 8. With a Week 13 home matchup against the high-powered Lions on tap, Kamara could play an even more pivotal role than usual if New Orleans' receiving corps is as depleted as it was at game's end Sunday.

White (knee) rushed 15 times for 100 yards and secured both targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

White finally found some consistent running room after coming into the game with an average of 3.3 yards per carry, with a game-long 38-yard run helping boost up his tally considerably. The second-year back was less involved in the passing game than usual -- his receiving yardage total tied a season low -- but White more than made up for it with his work on the ground. Next on the docket for White and the Bucs are the Panthers in a Week 13 divisional home matchup.

Barkley rushed 12 times for 46 yards and caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Patriots.

Barkley finished with a season low in rushing yards, as he was bottled up after producing runs of 14 and 19 yards in the first quarter. The star running back is usually the focal point of the Giants' offense, and Barkley has at least 12 carries and three targets in all nine games he's played this season. After a Week 13 bye, Barkley will need 135 scrimmage yards in Week 14 against the Packers to reach 1,000 for the fourth time in six NFL seasons.

Taylor rushed 15 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns and wasn't targeted in the passing game during the Colts' 27-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Taylor's yardage total was his second highest of the season, and his final line marked his first time in three games averaging over 4.0 yards per carry. The fourth-year pro punched in his third and fourth touchdowns of the campaign on four- and one-yard runs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Although his blanking through the air for the first time this season was a disappointment, Taylor's ability to produce in that area isn't in question. The talented back next faces a tough Titans run defense in a Week 13 road divisional matchup.

Johnson is slated to be the Bears' top complementary running back to Khalil Herbert on Monday in Minnesota after the team ruled out D'Onta Foreman (ankle/shin) for the contest Sunday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

Johnson has routinely acted as the No. 2 RB in Chicago's offense behind Herbert or Foreman, depending on who is healthy and available among the two. The result has been seven touches for 32 yards from scrimmage per game and one rushing TD in nine games this season. Expect a similar workload for Johnson on Monday in a secondary role behind Herbert.

Herbert is in line to be the Bears' lead running back Monday at Minnesota after the team ruled out D'Onta Foreman (ankle/shin) for the contest Sunday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

Foreman didn't have much leeway to be available Week 12 due to Chicago giving him a doubtful tag for Monday's game. Now that Foreman officially won't make the trip to Minnesota, Herbert will have to compete for RB reps with only Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer. On the season, Herbert has averaged 13.2 touches for 66 yards from scrimmage per game while recording one receiving TD in six appearances.

The Bears downgraded Foreman (ankle/shin) to out for Monday's game at Minnesota, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

Foreman made an early exit from last Sunday's loss at Detroit due to a right ankle injury. He proceeded to be listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report due to ankle and shin injuries before logging back-to-back limited practices to cap Week 12 prep and being given a doubtful designation for Monday's contest. With his lack of availability confirmed, Foreman will yield complementary RB reps to Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer behind Chicago's top option Khalil Herbert.

Penny (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

The reserve running back was able to get on the field for two snaps in Week 9 against the Cowboys, but he was back to inactive status Monday night against the Chiefs following the Week 10 bye and is once again in street clothes Sunday. Penny doesn't figure to see any action unless injuries befall one of D'Andre Swift or Kenneth Gainwell in front of him.

Carter is active for Sunday's contest versus the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals official site reports.

Arizona claimed Carter off waivers from the Jets on Nov. 15, but he didn't have enough time to learn the playbook before the team's Week 11 game four days later. With a week and a half under his belt, though, he'll be among the two options behind starting RB James Conner along with Emari Demercado (toe), while Keaontay Ingram is a healthy scratch.

Ingram (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Ingram's workload has been yanked around from week to week, and now that Emari Demercado (toe) is back from a three-game absence, the former will be the odd man out in the Cardinals backfield. James Conner will continue to be the team's lead runner, but Demercado and Michael Carter are the available running backs behind him.
