Allen carried four times for 11 yards, caught his lone target for five yards and returned one kickoff for 50 yards during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets.

The rookie seventh-round pick played 18 offensive snaps, with most of his touches coming with Jacksonville leading comfortably during the fourth quarter. Allen continues to see sporadic playing time as a passing down back but has received more than two offensive touches in just two games this season.

Robinson rushed nine times for 21 yards and returned two kicks for 53 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

Robinson struggled in his change-of-pace role Sunday after finishing the contest with a season-worst 2.3 YPC. The veteran backup has finished with a per-carry average below 4.0 yards in three out of his last four outings with no trips to the end zone over that span. Robinson's recent struggles and marginal role on offense make him an unsavory fantasy option against the Colts in Week 16.

Tuten carried once for seven yards and caught his lone target for a 16-yard touchdown during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets. He also returned three kickoffs for 93 yards.

The rookie fourth-round pick played just 11 offensive snaps but scored his sixth touchdown of the season during the second quarter. Despite consecutive blowout victories, Tuten has just four offensive touches in those contests, as starting tailback Travis Etienne has returned to more of a workhorse role for Jacksonville.

Davis caught his lone target for 13 yards and returned four kickoffs for 164 yards during Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.

Although Davis played a minimal offensive role in Sunday's comeback win, he averaged 41 yards per kickoff return and consistently provided the Bills' offense with good field position. Since taking over as Buffalo's lead kickoff returner in the Week 9 win over the Chiefs, Davis has accumulated 745 return yards and a touchdown, averaging a league-leading 32.4 yards per return, a mark that would also set a Bills franchise record. The second-year pro from Kentucky is expected to remain one of the NFL's most dynamic return men in the Week 16 matchup against the Browns.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Marks "could have come back in the game" after the running back exited early with an ankle injury during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houson reports.

Ryans said Marks "got his ankle tweaked a little bit there early in the game," but the Texans opted to keep the rookie running back on the sideline to "make sure [he] is good as we continue to go into the week." Those comments seemingly bode well for Marks' chances of gaining clearance for Week 16, when Houston will face a plus matchup at home against the Raiders. That said, the next tangible update on Marks' health may not arrive until the team resumes practicing Wednesday. Nick Chubb (ribs) was inactive versus Arizona, so if Marks isn't able to return versus Las Vegas, Jawhar Jordan could get a chance to follow up on his 101-yard performance against Arizona.

Etienne didn't play a single offensive snap but logged 25 kick-return yards and 16 punt-return yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

The rookie running back from Georgia has now gone without an offensive snap in three of the Panthers' last five games. He's primarily contributed as Carolina's top return man this season, recording 642 kickoff-return yards and 127 punt-return yards across 14 appearances. Etienne is expected to remain a depth piece in the Panthers' backfield while continuing to contribute on special teams in the Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Davis carried the ball eight times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

Javonte Williams picked up a shoulder injury on the Cowboys' opening drive that cost him the rest of the first half, and in his absence Davis punched in a one-yard TD in the second quarter. The two backs then split backfield duties after Williams' return to begin the second half. Davis has gotten into the end zone twice in the last three games, but Sunday's 10 touches were a season high, and his fantasy appeal will be low as long as Williams is healthy. If the shoulder issue proves to be a limiting factor for Dallas' RB1, however, Davis could see elevated volume again Week 16 against the Chargers.

Warren (illness) has been added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dolphins.

It's possible official word on his status won't arrive until roughly 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Kenneth Gainwell would lead Pittsburgh's backfield if Warren can't suit up, while rookie Kaleb Johnson would bump up into the No. 2 spot. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Warren woke up sick Monday but is optimistic he'll gain clearance to play.

Mason gained 29 rushing yards on 10 carries during Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

Mason played 36 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 15, again working behind Aaron Jones (58 percent), who was also quiet versus Dallas with just 12 carries for 34 yards. While Mason was not targeted a single time, Jones continues to contribute as a pass-catcher, securing all three of his targets for 31 yards. Mason warrants less fantasy consideration than Jones, and neither are necessarily in the mix as more than flex options, but both RBs will face a plus matchup on the road against the Giants in Week 16.

Knight (ankle) is set for an MRI after being carted off the field during Sunday's 40-20 loss to Houston, but he's believed to be dealing with a sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Knight appears to have avoided a severe injury, with league sources telling Schefter that the running back is nursing "a bad sprain," but that could still notably impact his availability for the last three weeks of the regular season. Emari Demercado and Michael Carter will be positioned as Arizona's clear backfield leaders if Knight misses any time, with James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both already having been lost for the year. Knight's first opportunity to attempt to prove he's healthy enough to play Week 16 against the Falcons will come during Wednesday's practice.
