Demercado notched four carries for 64 yards and one touchdown and gathered in one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.

Demercado logged his longest play from scrimmage as a pro when he powered through a bunch of players early in the fourth quarter before finding no 49er defenders in front of him en route a 49-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, he was pretty quiet on his four other touches, amassing 21 total yards. While Demercado matched fellow reserve running back Michael Carter (six touches, 37 yards) with 18 snaps on offense, James Conner continued to pave the way with 36 such plays and 17 touches for 89 total yards and a TD. Overall, the Cardinals racked up 234 rushing yards against a decent San Francisco defensive front, so Demercado may continue to maintain some sway in Arizona's offense over the final three contests of the season.

Williams (concussion) reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday.

Williams operated behind Antonio Gibson in Sunday's loss to the Rams with Brian Robinson (hamstring) unavailable. The running back lost two yards on his only carry while failing to reel in a target over 13 offensive snaps before exiting with a concussion. Depending how quickly he's able to clear protocols, he could be an option for an elevation in Week 16 against the Jets.

McNichols reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

McNichols was active but did not play in Sunday's 45-29 win over the Cardinals. With Elijah Mitchell (knee) potentially unavailable for Week 16 versus the Ravens, McNichols could be elevated to the active roster again.

Gaskin reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Gaskin was elevated to Minnesota's active roster prior to Saturday's loss to the Bengals. He ultimately saw the field for two special-teams snaps (seven percent). The running back will now continue to put in work at practice and await another opportunity to be promoted.

Evans reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.

Evans played 13 snaps on special teams, failing to record a stat in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets. He'll now wait for his next chance to join the active roster.

Prince reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.

Prince played 10 snaps on special teams, failing to record a stat in the team's 27-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday. If Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) is unavailable in Week 16, Prince could be elevated again ahead of Kansas City's matchup with the Raiders on Christmas Day.

Goodson reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Goodson has been elevated for each of Indianapolis' last three games, but he was able to mix into the offense more than expected Saturday against the Steelers after Zack Moss departed early due to a shoulder injury. With Jonathan Taylor (thumb) sitting out again, Goodson and Trey Sermon manned the backfield from the middle of the second quarter onward. Goodson played second fiddle to Sermon, seeing 19 snaps to the latter's 29, but both RBs got double-digit touches, with Goodson going for 79 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches and Sermon turning 17 carries into 88 yards. There's a chance Taylor will be able to return Sunday in Atlanta, and Moss also hopes to be available for that contest, so Goodson's prospects for Week 16 output likely are contingent on him being signed to the active roster.

Murray rushed five times for 11 yards and a score and was not targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

Murray ran for his fourth touchdown of the season, giving him nine straight campaigns of four-plus TD runs, something no other active player in the league can say. The 33-year-old has proven he can still bring value to a contending team, but starter James Cook has begun to look like a superstar the past few weeks, and Murray is locked into a clear No. 2 role. However, Murray may be a better goal-line back from inside the five, so that might keep him relevant in very deep leagues.

Drake reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

Drake played five offensive snaps in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers, rushing for no gain on his only carry. With AJ Dillon (thumb) potentially unavailable again in Week 16 versus the Panthers, Drake could be asked to return to the active roster.

Davis reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday.

Davis has appeared in two games for the Cowboys this season but has played zero offensive snaps. He's seen 31 on special teams.
