Edwards-Helaire recorded two carries for 20 yards during Monday's 21-17 loss versus Philadelphia.

Edwards-Helaire missed the game before the bye week due to illness, but he was all systems go Monday. Even so, CEH logged just four offensive snaps in the game, trailing both Isiah Pacheco (48) and Jerick McKinnon (24) on that front. As long as the pair remains healthy, it's unlikely Edwards-Helaire will carve out enough of a role to warrant a look in most fantasy formats.

McKinnon compiled one carry for seven yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards during Monday's 21-17 defeat against Philadelphia.

While McKinnon did enjoy a slight uptick in offensive snaps -- 24 compared to just 13 last week -- that's still within the realm of normal for the veteran back. McKinnon hasn't tallied more than three carries or catches in a game this season, so he can be safely left on the waiver wire in most formats.

Jones has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain and is considered week-to-week, making him unlikely to play Thursday at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones went down with a knee injury late in the second quarter of Sunday's eventual win against the Chargers, during which he was carted to the locker room. Considering Jones isn't slated to be available Thursday and reserve RB Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) isn't practicing this week, AJ Dillon (groin) appears poised to be Green Bay's lead runner Week 12 and potentially beyond, assuming he's able to suit up. Beyond Dillon, Patrick Taylor was picked back up off the Patriots' practice squad Monday, while James Robinson and Ellis Merriweather are backfield options on the Packers' practice squad.

The Browns cut Kelly from their practice squad Tuesday.

Kelly has spent most of the past three seasons with Cleveland, but he didn't appear in a game this year after making five appearances over the previous two campaigns. Kelly has 96 career rushing yards on 32 carries.

McLaughlin had one carry for one yard and caught all five of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Vikings.

McLaughlin was largely an afterthought in the Broncos' ground attack, handling only one carry for the first time since Week 2. Instead, the rookie running back was involved more in the passing game as his five catches were a season high. With Samaje Perine regaining a bigger role behind starting RB Javonte Williams, McLaughlin's path to significant value has gotten that much narrower, and Sunday marked the second straight week in which he played just 15 percent of the offensive snaps. McLaughlin's utility remains limited to deep fantasy formats heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Browns.

Pacheco rushed 19 time for 89 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Chiefs' 21-17 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

Pacheco ran with his signature hard-charging style all night and surprisingly found success frequently against what had been the league's best run defense coming in. The second-year back's yardage total was his second highest of the season, as was his rushing workload. Pacheco will face an exponentially more palatable matchup on paper in a Week 12 visit to the division rival Raiders.

Swift rushed 12 times for 76 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 31 yards in Monday's 21-17 win over Kansas City.

With Philadelphia's passing game stuck in first gear, Swift and the rushing attack led the way offensively, as all three of the Eagles' touchdowns came on the ground. He tied the game at 7-7 with a four-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, before helping set up Jalen Hurts' 10-yard rushing score in the third quarter with a 35-yard run earlier on the drive. After exceeding 100 yards from scrimmage for the fourth time this season, Swift should remain a key part of the game plan Week 12 against the Bills.

Spears rushed the ball four times for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars. He added two receptions (on two targets) for 12 yards.

The entire Titans offense was limited, as they ran only 38 plays. That trickled down to Spears, who saw his lowest touch total since Week 8. While he has shown big-play potential at times in his rookie year, Spears will struggle to produce fantasy-viable stat lines due to the state of the Tennessee offense.

Gore reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

The running back played on three of 81 offensive snaps Sunday against the Giants, carrying the ball twice for 23 yards, with all the production coming on a single carry. With Antonio Gibson out due to a toe injury, Gore's snap count finished behind Brian Robinson's 63 and Chris Rodriguez's 16. Gore also played a snap on special teams.

Edmonds rushed four times for eight yards and brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Edmonds was the only back other than Rachaad White to log a carry for the Buccaneers but unsurprisingly found little running room. He was more successful on his one reception, but with just 14 snaps from scrimmage, the opportunities for Edmonds to make an impact were sparse, even with a game script favorable to his pass-catching prowess. He's logged 18 total touches in four games since returning from a four-game stint on injured reserve, but he remains off the radar in virtually all formats with White enjoying a firm hold on the No. 1 running back job.
