Malik Davis RB | DAL
Cowboys' Malik Davis: Three carries in Week 12 win
Davis carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.
The 26-year-old filled the No. 2 role in the Dallas backfield but was a distant second to Javonte Williams (101 total yards on 22 touches) in workload. Davis has taken seven carries for 44 yards over the last two weeks since moving ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue on the depth chart -- an impressive 6.3 yards per carry -- but his fantasy utility is extremely limited as long as Williams is healthy.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Meager output in victory
Corum rushed seven times for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.
While the final score was another blowout win for the Rams, Tampa Bay successfully snuffed out the Rams' rushing attack; Corum and Kyren Williams combined for just 70 yards and no touchdowns on 19 attempts. After seeing double-digit touches for a three-week stretch, Corum's usage has dropped the past two weeks, with just 15 rushing attempts for 34 yards in that span. The Rams travel to take on the Panthers in Week 13, and they have been middle-of-the-road against the run in 2025, surrendering 113.1 yards per game on the ground.

Tahj Brooks RB | CIN
Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Sitting out Week 13
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Brooks (concussion) won't play in Thursday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
The rookie running back from Texas Tech sustained a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Thursday. Brooks has appeared in all 11 of the Bengals' games this season, rushing nine times for 28 yards while also contributing on special teams (130 snaps). Samaje Perine (ankle) could be on track to return from a two-game absence for the Thanksgiving Day game, and if available, he would replace Brooks and take back his familiar role as the No. 2 back behind Chase Brown.

Ameer Abdullah RB | IND
Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Plans just four snaps on offense
Abdullah did not have a carry and failed to bring in a catch on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.
Abdullah played just four snaps on offense as Indy used Jonathan Taylor on 46 of the offense's 51 snaps despite giving him just 16 rushing attempts. Abdullah looks to be ahead of Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens in the backup role, though that order may change if Taylor is injured.

Kaleb Johnson RB | PIT
Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Doesn't see field against Chicago
Johnson didn't take the field during Sunday's 31-28 loss to Chicago.
Johnson had been limited to single-digit offensive snaps in each of Pittsburgh's last three games, but he didn't log a play Week 12. Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell continue to serve as the Steelers' top two running backs, and Johnson has been unable to carve out a fantasy-relevant role to begin his rookie year.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Will practice all week
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Irving (shoulder/foot) will practice all week and be cleared to suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals if he avoids any setbacks, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Irving has been listed as a limited participant in five consecutive practices, and it sounds like even if he isn't able to upgrade to full this week, he'll be poised to return to action as long as he holds up well. The health of quarterback Baker Mayfield (left shoulder), who is feared to have suffered an AC joint sprain during Tampa Bay's loss to the Rams in Week 12, is another significant variable looming over the Buccaneers offense. While clarity on Irving's status may not arrive until Friday, Mayfield is undergoing an MRI on Monday, the results of which should be disclosed before long.

Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: No touches vs. Dallas
Shipley accumulated 106 kickoff-return yards and played seven of the Eagles' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
The 23-year-old from Clemson played more offensive snaps than Tank Bigsby (three) but still didn't record an offensive touch. Shipley has now gone without a carry in four of the Eagles' last six games, indicating he's operating as the team's No. 3 running back. He's expected to continue contributing as one of Philadelphia's top kick returners in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Minimal output in loss
Bigsby rushed once for eight yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
The third-year back from Auburn played just three offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss, his lowest total since the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Bigsby has appeared in 10 games since joining the Eagles in early September, rushing 18 times for 164 yards while also accumulating 187 kickoff-return yards. He's expected to continue operating as the team's No. 2 running back in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: One carry Sunday
Jennings, who was on the field for only three of 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, gained zero yards on his only carry.
With Rhamondre Stevenson back in the mix Sunday following a three-game absence, Jennings worked as New England's No. 3 RB in a backfield led by TreVeyon Henderson. As long as both Henderson and Stevenson are available, Jennings won't have a path to steady playing time or touches in New England's offense.

Justice Hill RB | BAL
Ravens' Justice Hill: No opportunities in return
Hill did not record a carry or target in Sunday's win over the Jets. He played 16 snaps.
Hill was back in action after missing Week 11 with a toe injury. However, he was not involved in the game plan, as he played 25 percent of the snaps and did not record a touch. Hill has not played more than 19 snaps in any of his four games since the bye, nor has he gotten more than one carry in any of those outings. Fellow running back Keaton Mitchell is still not out-snapping Hill, but he tends to get the ball when he's on the field. Hill and the Ravens return to action Thanksgiving night against the Bengals.
