  • AJ Dillon RB | PHI

    Eagles' AJ Dillon: Inactive versus Chicago

    Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's game against the Bears.

    Dillon has been passed on the depth chart by both Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley behind Saquon Barkley. In six appearances this season, Dillon has rushed 12 times for 60 scoreless yards, adding two catches for 18 yards on two targets.

  • Jerome Ford RB | CLE

    Browns' Jerome Ford: Questionable for Week 13

    Ford (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Ford has missed significant practice reps this week, putting his status in jeopardy for Week 13. If Ford is unable to play, rookie Dylan Sampson would likely be locked into pass-down work behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins on early downs. Sampson appeared to pass Ford on the depth chart in Week 12 against Las Vegas, turning nine touches into 82 yards and one touchdown on 19 offensive snaps.

  • Craig Reynolds: Set to join New England

    Reynolds is slated to sign with the Patriots' practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Reynolds was cut by the Lions on Wednesday after he'd been a healthy scratch in recent weeks. A running back by trade, Reynolds has mostly played on special teams during his seven-year NFL career.

  • Trey Benson RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey Benson: Not playing this week

    Benson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    It was an outcome that seemed likely once Benson was held out of practice Thursday. The Cardinals listed him as a limited participant in four straight practices beforehand, but head coach Jonathan Gannon told Urban on Friday that Benson is still being evaluated day to day. The Cardinals figure to deploy Bam Knight (knee) and Michael Carter out of the backfield with Emari Demercado (ankle) also out this Sunday.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Fumbles in return to action

    Perine rushed 14 times for 39 yards and brought in both targets for 15 yards in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Perine returned from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury and saw only one fewer carry than backfield mate Chase Brown, but he gained exactly half of the latter's 78 rushing yards. Perine also lost his second fumble of the season at the Ravens' 14-yard line with just over five minutes remaining, but the Bengals were able to regain possession five plays later when they forced the ball from Zay Flowers after a reception. Perine should continue slotting into a relatively solid complementary role moving forward now that he's back to full health.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Contributes 113 total yards in win

    Brown rushed 15 times for 78 yards and brought in all seven targets for 35 yards in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Chase had to claw for most of his yardage Thursday, as his longest run went for a modest 18 yards while his most productive reception netted just nine yards. However, the third-year back still managed a highly fantasy-friendly effort despite the return of backfield mate Samaje Perine from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. Brown tied Ja'Marr Chase for the team led in receptions while eclipsing the 70-yard mark on the ground for fifth time in the last six contests, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 14 road matchup on Sunday, Dec. 7 against a Bills defense that has struggled to slow down the run all season.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Records 104 scrimmage yards in loss

    Henry rushed 10 times for 60 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for 44 yards in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

    Henry appeared well on his way to a stellar night when he rumbled for a 28-yard touchdown with 6:33 remaining in the first quarter, a run that turned out to be his longest of the night. However, game script would progressively turn against the Ravens' ground attack in the second half as the Bengals expanded their lead, leading to Henry's opportunities being significantly capped. The talented back's best play of the night actually came on his one catch, on which he carved out his longest gain of the season through the air. Henry has hit or eclipsed the 60-yard mark on the ground in eight consecutive games heading into a Week 14 home divisional clash against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Ends TD drought in win over KC

    Williams carried the ball 17 times for 59 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.

    Malik Davis scored Dallas' only TD on the ground on an impressive 43-yard run in the second quarter, but Williams snagged the team's final touchdown of the afternoon, catching a three-yard toss from Dak Prescott early in the fourth that put the Cowboys in the lead for good. It was Williams' first trip to the end zone since Week 8, and through 12 games on the season he's amassed 955 rushing yards and eight scores on the ground while adding a 31-128-2 line on 42 targets. He'll look to record his first career 1,000-yard rushing campaign as a pro Week 14 against the Lions.

  • Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Just five touches in return

    Pacheco carried the ball three times for 16 yards and caught both his targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.

    After missing the prior three games due to a knee injury, Pacheco was back in action but found himself firmly behind Kareem Hunt in the backfield pecking order, as the veteran turned 15 touches into 80 yards from scrimmage. Hunt's recent success appears to have solidified his spot at the top of the depth chart, and Pacheco -- who has yet to reach 60 rushing yards in any game this season -- will likely struggle to make an impact on limited volume Week 14 against the Texans.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Handles lead duties in Dallas

    Hunt carried the ball 14 times for 58 yards and caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.

    Even with Isiah Pacheco back in the lineup, Hunt handled the bulk of the work in the Kansas City backfield, getting 15 touches to Pacheco's five and out-gaining him 80 yards from scrimmage to 33. Hunt did see his four-game TD streak come to an end, but the 80 combined yards were his second-highest total of the season after last week's 130. The veteran appears to have a firm hold of the No. 1 RB job heading into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Texans.
