Mason rushed four times for 64 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Seahawks.

Mason ripped off a 55-yard run on the 49ers' final drive, stopped one yard short of his first career touchdown. The undrafted rookie actually saw his playing time decrease against Seattle (seven offensive snaps), but he still produced at least 50 rushing yards for the third consecutive week. It is tough to recommend the Georgia Tech product in fantasy when Christian McCaffrey is healthy, but if the latter were to be rested with the NFC West title in hand, then Mason would immediately become a hot asset. For now, expect Mason to serve a similar limited role against Washington next Saturday.

Montgomery (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Montgomery and QB Justin Fields each missed only one practice with what seem to have been minor illnesses. They'll lead the Chicago rushing attack this Sunday against the NFC-leading Eagles, while the passing game appears more toothless than ever with Chase Claypool (knee) ruled out.

Gibson (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Gibson and fellow running back Brian Robinson (quadriceps) were both limited in all three practices throughout the week but avoided injury designations on Washington's final injury report. Robinson should get the majority of opportunities on the ground, while Gibson's the superior playmaker in the passing game.

Robinson (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Robinson was limited in all three of Washington's practices coming out of the Week 14 bye, but that won't keep him from playing in the pivotal Week 15 showdown with the Giants. The rookie running back rushed for 96 yards on 15 carries and caught both of his targets for 15 yards against the same opponent in Washington's previous game.

Pierce (ankle) is not participating in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

It appears Pierce will miss practice for the third consecutive day as he manages a high-ankle sprain. The 22-year-old appears likely to miss his first game of the season Sunday against Kansas City, which would leave Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale to split backfield duties for Houston.

Walker rushed 12 times for 47 yards and brought in four of five targets for 32 yards in the Seahawks' 21-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Walker actually managed to make some inroads against the league's best run defense, and his work in the passing game complemented his rushing production nicely. The rookie back didn't seem to show any ill effects from the ankle injury that had sidelined him in Seattle's Week 14 loss to the Panthers, and he'll now have extra time to get healthier before a critical Week 16 road contest versus the Chiefs a week from Saturday.

McCaffrey rushed 26 times for 108 yards and a touchdown while bringing in six of eight targets for 30 yards in the 49ers' 21-13 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.

McCaffrey filled a true workhouse role for the first time as a 49er, logging a season high in carries along the way. The star back scored his second rushing touchdown in as many games when he went in from one yard out late in the first half following a Travis Homer fumble and 40-yard return by Charvarius Ward. McCaffrey now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts as well going into a Week 16 home matchup versus the Commanders a week from Saturday.

Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against San Francisco, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Jones won't play in Week 15 due to a coach's decision, ultimately due to the fact that Kenneth Walker (ankle) is set to return after missing last week's loss to the Panthers. In the Week 14 defeat, Jones only played five offensive snaps, while Travis Homer saw a majority of the workload. With DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also inactive again Thursday night Travis Homer is in line to back up Walker against the 49ers.

Dallas (ankle) is listed as inactive Thursday against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

After not practicing at all during Week 15 prep, Dallas will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury. With Kenneth Walker (ankle) back in action after sitting out this past Sunday against the Panthers and Tony Jones a healthy scratch Thursday, Travis Homer and Godwin Igwebuike will be the candidates to get reps behind the workhorse running back. Dallas' next chance to play is Saturday, Dec. 24 at Kansas City.

Harris (thigh) remained limited at practice Thursday.

While it's encouraging that Harris, who has missed two straight games, has logged back-to-back limited showings at practice, Chris Mason of masslive.com suggests that the running back "doesn't look particularly close to 100 percent." That said, in terms of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Harris seems to have a better chance of playing than Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), who has yet to practice this week.
