  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Works as complement to Pollard

    Spears rushed the ball three times or four yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Titans. He added four receptions on five targets for 21 yards.

    Spears continued to work as a complement to Tony Pollard, as he had only three rush attempts to Pollard's 11. Spears has now been held to single-digit rushing yards in each of his last two contests. Positively, he has remained involved as a pass catcher, recording at least three receptions in six straight games.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Totals 15 touches

    Pollard rushed the ball 11 times for 20 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to Seattle. He added four receptions on five targets for 21 yards.

    Pollard continued to work as Tennessee's lead back, totaling 15 touches compared to seven for Tyjae Spears. He wasn't particularly effective as either a pass catcher or rusher, and he's now been held below 50 yards from scrimmage in consecutive games. The lone positive for Pollard has been his increased involvement as a pass catcher, as he's combined to record seven catches in his last two matchups.

  • Michael Carter RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Carter: Leading rusher on five carries

    Carter rushed five times for 28 yards while adding three receptions for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

    Carter finished Sunday's narrow loss as Arizona's leading rusher despite seeing five fewer carries than fill-in starter Bam Knight (10-12-1). The latter cashed in a short rushing score, making Knight the preferred fantasy option when also factoring in his starting role. Trey Benson (knee) and/or Emari Demercado (ankle) could return in Week 13, although nothing has been confirmed on either front, which would push Carter and Knight into smaller roles on offense. For now, Carter is nothing more than a desperation play for those in deeper formats against the Buccaneers next Sunday.
