Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Stymied in Monday's loss
Jeanty rushed six times for seven yards while adding six receptions (on eight targets) for 27 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to Dallas.
Las Vegas abandoned the run early in Monday's lopsided loss, resulting in Jeanty's worst rushing totals through 10 games on the season. The Raiders ran the ball just 12 times out of 59 plays on offense, and the imbalanced playcalling prevented the team's prized rookie from gaining any momentum. His six receptions served as the only silver lining in his stat line, and the total represented a new single-game high for Jeanty. The route to a bounce-back performance Week 12 will be steep, as Jeanty will have to find room to run behind a porous offensive line while facing Cleveland's dominant defensive front on Sunday.

Javonte Williams RB | DAL
Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Efficient showing in win
Williams rushed the ball 22 times for 93 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders. He added one reception (on one target) for zero yards.
Williams topped 20 rushing attempts for the first time this season and turned in an efficient effort. Seven of his 22 carries went for a gain of at least six yards, and he reached 80 rushing yards for the sixth time on the campaign. While it was a solid showing on the field, Williams' fantasy performance was something of a letdown, as he failed to find the end zone and remained uninvolved as a pass catcher. After tallying multiple catches in five of Dallas' first six contests, he has only one reception in four straight contests.

Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: Zero touches against Lions
Shipley went without a carry or target while playing seven of the Eagles' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.
One week after Shipley touched the ball a season-high six times on offense, he went an entire game without any usage, something that's happened on two other occasions already this season. The Eagles leaned heavily on starter Saquon Barkley in the win, as fellow reserve back Tank Bigsby played just one more snap than Shipley.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Four carries in Week 11 win
Bigsby rushed four times for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.
Bigsby's stat line wasn't particularly impressive, but both his carries and yards represent his second-best numbers since joining the Eagles via trade after Week 1. It would take an injury to Saquon Barkley for Bigsby to become a significant part of the Eagles' gameplan.

Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Chase Edmonds: Reverts to practice squad
Edmonds reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Edmonds didn't see a snap on offense as he operated as the Commanders' RB4 behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. However, Edmonds did play seven snaps on special teams and returned four kickoffs for 93 yards. The Commanders are on a bye Week 12, but Edmonds could be elevated to the active roster for Week 13 against Denver on Sunday, Nov. 30 if Washington needs a returner on kickoffs and punts.

Trayveon Williams RB | CLE
Chargers' Trayveon Williams: Makes way back to practice squad
Williams reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Williams got his second elevation of the season ahead of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He worked as Los Angeles' No. 2 running back, logging 18 of the team's 48 offensive snaps (behind Kimani Vidal's 25 and Amar Johnson's four). Williams finished with three carries for minus-1 yard and caught his only target for zero yards. He also logged 12 snaps on special teams, returning one kick for 22 yards. The Chargers are on bye in Week 12, and rookie Omarion Hampton (IR, ankle) has a chance to return in Week 13. Even if that happens, Williams may still get elevated again, as Vidal is currently the only healthy running back on Los Angeles' active roster.

Amar Johnson RB | LAC
Chargers' Amar Johnson: Heads back to practice squad
Johnson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Johnson logged four of Los Angeles' 48 offensive snaps Sunday in a loss to Jacksonville. He carried twice for eight yards and didn't catch his only target. Johnson's elevation came as a result of Jaret Patterson having already been elevated from the practice squad the maximum three times this season. The Chargers are on bye in Week 12, and rookie RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) could be back for Week 13 if he's activated off IR. With that being said, Kimani Vidal is currently the only healthy RB on the Chargers' active roster, so Johnson could get his third elevation at some point before the end of the campaign even if Hampton suits up Nov. 30 against the Raiders.

Kendall Milton RB | CIN
Kendall Milton: Back to practice squad
Milton reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Milton was brought up to the Bengals' active roster to provide backfield depth due to the absence of Samaje Perine (ankle). Milton operated as the RB3 behind Chase Brown and Tahj Brooks, and Milton finished with two carries for two yards while playing four snaps on offense. Milton could be elevated for the Bengals' Week 12 home clash against the Patriots if Perine is not cleared to play.

Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Won't play Week 11
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against Dallas.
White will be a healthy scratch for a fifth consecutive game as the Raiders roll with a three-man backfield of Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube for Week 11. White's next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Browns, though he's unlikely to be active for that contest unless Jeanty, Mostert or Laube were to miss time.
