Robinson rushed seven times for 11 yards and brought in one target for three yards in the Falcons' 9-7 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Robinson's day was as dreary as his final line implies, with the rookie producing his lowest yardage output on the ground since Week 7 against the Buccaneers (three yards). Robinson's sparse usage was especially disappointing in that it came on the heels of six straight double-digit rush-attempt tallies and three consecutive games with multiple receptions. Robinson's fumble was also critical, as it occurred on Atlanta's own 21-yard line late in the third quarter and led to a Panthers field goal. While backfield mate Tyler Allgeier doubled up Robinson in carries Sunday, it would seem likely the first-round pick reclaims a larger share of the work on the ground in a Week 16 home matchup against the Colts on Christmas Eve.

Jones (knee) rushed 13 times for 53 yards and brought in all four targets for 16 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Making his return from a three-game absence, Jones served as the unquestioned lead back with only Patrick Taylor and Kenyan Drake behind him due to AJ Dillon's (thumb) absence. However, game script eventually turned away from the running game for Green Bay, limiting Jones' overall opportunities. Nevertheless, the veteran back appeared to make it through the game unscathed, and he could be set for an even heavier workload in a Week 16 road matchup versus a Panthers team Green Bay should be able to run a balanced offense against.

Williams (groin) rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Giants.

Williams has yet to score a touchdown as a member of the Saints after leading the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns for the Lions last season. He remains a distant second on the running back depth chart behind Alvin Kamara, who had 110 scrimmage yards on 21 touches. Williams failed to build any momentum after eclipsing 40 scrimmage yards for only the second time all season in the previous game against the Panthers. Up next for Williams and the Saints is a road game against the Rams on Thursday Night Football.

Kamara rushed 16 times for 66 yards and caught all five of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Giants.

Kamara finished with the most carries, rushing yards and catches among players from either team, and only Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (63) had more receiving yards in this defensive battle. The versatile running back was leaned on heavily in the absence of wide receivers Chris Olave (ankle) and Michael Thomas (knee). Kamara's 21 touches marked his highest total since Week 8, and he eclipsed 100 scrimmage yards for the sixth time this season. His significant involvement as both a rusher and a pass catcher should give Kamara a high floor Thursday against the Rams.

White rushed 21 times for 89 yards and brought in both his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

White filled his usual workhorse role in the ground attack, with Chase Edmonds the only other running back to log any carries (three). The second-year back also did his usual damage as a receiver, recording a 26-yard touchdown reception to cap off the Buccaneers' first drive of the second half. The receiving touchdown was White's third of the season and his second in as many games. White also has at least 84 rushing yards in four consecutive contests, his most productive stretch of the campaign. White will have a tougher matchup in a Week 16 interconference home battle against the Jaguars on Christmas Eve.

Henry rushed the ball 16 times for nine yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans. He added four receptions on four targets for one yard.

Henry saw plenty of opportunity -- he earned at least 20 touches for the fourth time in his last eight games -- but that was the end of the good news. He had neither a rush attempt nor a reception of more than six yards, leaving him with his lowest yardage total of the season. Henry should have a chance to bounce back in Week 16 against a Seahawks defense that has been susceptible to opposing rushing attacks this season.

Achane (toe) rushed nine times for 32 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.

Achane ceded goal-line opportunities to Raheem Mostert, who scored twice to raise his season rushing touchdown total to 18. Mostert had just 43 scrimmage yards on 17 touches, so neither speedy running back broke off many big plays. Achane's longest gain came on a 13-yard catch, though he also had a key play on the ground, converting on fourth-and-2 with a four-yard carry on the final play of the third quarter. Mostert has settled in as the top option in Miami's backfield heading into a Week 16 home game against the Cowboys, but Achane has handled a substantial complementary role when available.

Mostert rushed 15 times for 42 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for one yard in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.

Mostert opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, then extended the lead to 24-0 with a one-yard rushing touchdown shortly before halftime. He had a chance to score a third touchdown but was stuffed for a loss of seven yards on a third-quarter carry from the 2-yard line. The pair of scores raised Mostert's league-leading rushing touchdown total to 18, with seven of those touchdowns coming in his last four games. Mostert will look to add to that impressive total in Week 16 against the stout Dallas defense.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Moss (arm) is doing "good" after exiting Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers, but Steichen didn't elaborate further on the running back's status heading into a Week 16 game against the Falcons on Dec. 24, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

According to Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis, Steichen said that Moss will be monitored in practice this week along with fellow running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb). While Taylor was sidelined for the Colts' past three games following thumb surgery, Moss took over as the team's clear lead back before the right arm injury forced him out of Saturday's contest. He carried four times for 13 yards and recorded three catches for 20 yards and a touchdown across 19 snaps on offense before departing. The Colts finished the game with Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson as their healthy options at running back.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Taylor (thumb) is "feeling good" and could be back in action for the team's Week 16 game against the Falcons on Dec. 24, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. "We'll see how the week goes," Steichen said.

While continuing his recovery from Nov. 29 surgery on his right thumb, Taylor remained sidelined for Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers, marking the running back's third consecutive absence. The Colts will begin Week 16 prep Wednesday, which will mark three weeks following Taylor's thumb procedure. The team is expected to hold a walk-through session that day, but if Taylor is able to practice in some fashion Thursday and/or Friday, he could get the green light to return to the lineup next Sunday. Zack Moss has filled in as the Colts' lead back for the past three games, but his status is also murky for Week 16 after he exited the win over the Steelers with an arm injury.
