  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Eagles' D'Andre Swift: Cleared to face Bills

    Swift (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Swift and WR A.J. Brown both avoid the final injury report after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. While his role doesn't come with a lot of goal-line touches, Swift has been unchallenged as Philadelphia's lead runner for more than two months now and hasn't missed a single game.

  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Bears' D'Onta Foreman: Turns in limited practice

    Foreman (ankle/shin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

    While the Bears held a walk-through workout Thursday for their first Week 12 practice, Foreman was estimated as a non-participant, but he was able to get back on the field in some capacity for a more traditional practice session Friday. If Foreman can maintain limited activity Saturday or upgrade to full participation, he should have a good chance at being available Monday against the Vikings. The right ankle injury knocked Foreman out early in the Bears' Week 11 loss to the Lions, enabling Khalil Herbert to pace the backfield with 16 carries in his return from a five-game stint on injured reserve. Herbert gained just 35 yards on his 16 carries, however, so he might not have done enough to separate himself from Foreman in the battle for lead ball carrier duties. If both Foreman and Herbert are available Monday, it would be difficult to gauge which of the two might be in line for the bigger workload on the ground.

  • Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Out this week

    McKinnon (groin) won't play Sunday against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    With McKinnon sidelined Week 12, Clyde Edwards-Helaire will likely step in as the top backup to starting running back Isiah Pacheco, while La'Mical Perine and Deneric Prince are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad to add depth to the backfield. McKinnon will target a potential return to action Dec. 3 against the Packers.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Won't play Friday

    Achane (knee) is inactive for Friday's game against the Jets.

    Achane approached the contest listed as questionable, but he'll sit out on a short week after the knee issue flared up just three snaps into his return from a four-game absence in this past Sunday's win over the Raiders. In Achane's absence, Raheem Mostert is in line to lead Miami's backfield Friday, with Jeff Wilson on hand to provide support and Darrynton Evans available as a third option out of the backfield. Achane will now target a potential return to action Dec. 3 against the Commanders.

  • Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Should remain lead back sans Achane

    Mostert is expected to serve as the Dolphins' clear lead back Friday against the Jets while De'Von Achane (knee) is inactive for the contest.

    In the three games before Achane landed on injured reserve Oct. 11, he and Mostert had been splitting work out of the backfield. Mostert proceeded to see more than 50 percent of the snaps on offense and averaged 13.8 touches while Achane was sidelined over the subsequent four contests, and he then handled a 78 percent snap share and 22 carries - both season highs - with Achane being limited to just three snaps in his return to action in this past Sunday's win over Las Vegas. With Achane back on the sideline for Week 12 and with another running back in Salvon Ahmed (foot) ruled out for the season, Jeff Wilson should step in as the Dolphins' No. 2 option after being inactive last week. Mostert still appears likely to dominate the backfield work for as long as Friday's contest remains competitive.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Active Friday, likely as No. 2 back

    Wilson is active and is expected to serve as the Dolphins' top backup running back behind starter Raheem Mostert in Friday's game against the Jets with De'Von Achane (knee) inactive for the contest.

    In Achane's return from injured reserve during the Dolphins' Week 11 win over the Raiders, Wilson found himself inactive while Miami went with Mostert, Achane and Salvon Ahmed as its three running backs. However, with Ahmed suffering a season-ending foot injury in that contest and with Achane now sidelined for at least the Week 12 game after tweaking his knee in the team's win over Las Vegas, Wilson will re-enter the Miami backfield mix. Mostert is still expected to see the majority of the snaps and touches at running back Week 12, but while he was available for Weeks 7 through 9 during Achane's stint on IR, Wilson averaged 2.3 carries and 2.3 targets per contest. Given that the Dolphins enter Friday's contest as heavy favorites, Wilson could be in store for more touches than usual if Miami is able to establish a comfortable lead early on.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Works as backup in win

    Taylor had three carries for 11 yards and one reception for four yards in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.

    With top running back Aaron Jones (knee) out for Week 12, Taylor operated as the backup behind AJ Dillon. Taylor and Dillon nearly split the snaps down the middle, but Dillon dominated the touches, recording 17 of them to Taylor's four. Taylor -- sandwiched around a stint on New England's practice squad -- has made five appearances for the Packers this season, but he hasn't accumulated more than 29 yards from scrimmage in any of them. It's unclear if Jones will miss more time, but even if he does, it will be tough to trust Taylor in fantasy lineups.

  • Commanders' Antonio Gibson: Returns after one-week absence

    Gibson took six carries for 21 yards and caught three of four targets for 16 yards in a 45-10 loss to Dallas on Thursday.

    Gibson played 46 percent of the snaps on offensive, four days after missing a loss to the Giants with a toe injury. Lead runner Brian Robinson dropped to a 45 percent snap share while taking 17 touches for 64 yards, and he'll likely continue to cede a large chunk of the playing time to Gibson when the Commanders host the Dolphins in Week 13.

  • Kenny McIntosh RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: No offensive snaps in loss

    McIntosh didn't record an offensive snap in Thursday 31-13 loss to the 49ers.

    McIntosh suited up for his first NFL game on Thanksgiving Day, dressing as the team's No. 3 back while Kenneth Walker (oblique) was inactive. With Zach Charbonnet serving as the Seahawks' lead back while logging 87 percent of the offensive snaps, DeeJay Dallas stepped in as the No. 2 option and picked up the remaining snaps that lingered, which left no role on offense for McIntosh. The rookie seventh-round pick could end up being a healthy scratch Week 13 against the Cowboys if Walker is cleared to play.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | JAC

    Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Puts up 15 yards in loss

    Dallas rushed twice for 10 yards and caught his lone target for five yards in Thursday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers. He also muffed a punt that the 49ers recovered.

    Dallas slotted in as the No. 2 running back behind rookie Zach Charbonnet while Kenneth Walker (oblique) was inactive for the first time all season. Charbonnet ended up serving as a workhorse out of the backfield, limiting Dallas to just eight offensive snaps. It's unclear if Walker will be ready for the Week 13 matchup versus the Cowboys, but regardless, Dallas won't have much fantasy utility.
