Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Leading rusher in loss
White carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards and caught all five of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the 49ers.
It was a tough day overall for the Buccaneers offense, but White still led the club in rushing yards and yards from scrimmage while seeing 18 touches to Leonard Fournette's 10. Fournette dealt with a foot injury during the week that may have limited his workload, but a backfield timeshare won't do much for either RB's fantasy upside Week 15 against a Bengals defense that just held Nick Chubb to 34 rushing yards on 14 carries.

Marlon Mack RB | ARI
Broncos' Marlon Mack: Dazzling TD in Sunday's loss
Mack carried the ball three times for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 loss to Kansas City.
The veteran back didn't see action until Mike Boone was carted off with an ankle injury in the second quarter, but Mack capitalized on his opportunity by taking a screen pass from Russell Wilson (concussion) 66 yards for a TD on the Broncos' first possession of the second half. It was Mack's first trip to the end zone since 2019, his final healthy season with the Colts, and the explosiveness he flashed on the touchdown was certainly reminiscent of that 1,000-yard campaign. Regardless of Boone's availability Week 15 against the Cardinals, Mack could push Latavius Murray for touches in the Denver backfield after this performance.

Jordan Mason RB | MIN
49ers' Jordan Mason: Strong in backup role
Mason rushed 11 times for 56 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.
Mason followed up last week's career high in rushing with another new high-water mark in yards. The undrafted rookie absorbed nearly all of Elijah Mitchell's (knee) carries over the last two weeks, providing some low-end fantasy value for those in deeper formats. Mason still is the clear No. 2 behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey, who went for 153 combined yards and two touchdowns Sunday. Expect the Georgia Tech product to see a similar workload in a soft matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday.

Latavius Murray RB | BUF
Broncos' Latavius Murray: Stifled by Kansas City
Murray carried the ball eight times for 32 yards and caught three of five targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 34-28 loss to Kansas City.
Game script cost him opportunities as Denver fell behind 27-0 before the offense got going, but Murray was also upstaged by Marlon Mack, who scored his first TD since 2019 on an impressive 66-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter. Mike Boone, the other Broncos RB active for this game, got carted off the field with an ankle injury, but a resurgent Mack would represent a bigger threat to Murray's lead role heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cardinals.

Jerick McKinnon RB | KC
Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Huge day as receiver Sunday
McKinnon carried the ball six times for 22 yards and caught seven of nine targets for 112 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Broncos.
The running back set the tone for another huge performance by the Kansas City offense in the second quarter, catching a grenade toss-like pass from Patrick Mahomes along the sideline and taking it 56 yards to the house. McKinnon then capped the team's next possession with a 10-yard TD catch. Rookie Isiah Pacheco remains the primary early-down back for Kansas City, but both RBs figure to be productive in Week 15 against a Texans defense that just coughed up 143 combined yards and three touchdowns to the Cowboys duo of Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott.

Isiah Pacheco RB | DET
Chiefs' Isiah Pacheco: Just short of century mark Sunday
Pacheco carried the ball 13 times for 70 yards and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Broncos.
The rookie took a back seat to Jerick McKinnon in this one as his veteran backfield mate piled up 134 combined yards and two receiving TDs, but Pacheco still posted the second-highest scrimmage-yards total of his young career. He seems poised for success in Week 15 against a Texans defense that just coughed up 143 combined yards and three touchdowns to the Cowboys RB duo of Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Dominates Bucs with two scores
McCaffrey rushed 14 times for 119 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions (three targets) for 34 yards and a receiving touchdown in Sunday's 35-7 rout of the Buccaneers.
The 49ers continued to monitor McCaffrey's minor knee injury during practice this week, but his status for Sunday's tilt was never really in doubt. The 26-year-old handled a full workload and produced his first 100-yard rushing game since being traded to San Francisco at the deadline. The 49ers might have lost another key offensive player, Deebo Samuel (ankle), to injury, so McCaffrey may be tasked with carrying the offense even more down the stretch. Assuming that his balky knee doesn't act up on a short week, CMC could be in line for another big fantasy game in a soft matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday,

Travis Homer RB | PIT
Seahawks' Travis Homer: Quiet in start
Homer rushed nine times for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers. He also caught two of three targets for eight yards.
Homer started at tailback with both Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas sidelined with ankle injuries. However, Homer wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunity, struggling to find much room to run besides a long gain of 16 yards. Although the Seahawks face a quick turnaround ahead of Week 15's Thursday night contest versus the 49ers, Homer could return to a reserve role if Walker and/or Dallas are able to suit up.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Nearly 100 from scrimmage
Hubbard rushed 14 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks. He also caught all three of his targets for 25 yards.
Hubbard scored from two yards to begin the second quarter. The tailback tied teammate D'Onta Foreman for Carolina's lead in rushing yards, though Hubbard did so on seven fewer carries. With the Panthers totaling 46 rushing attempts, there were plenty of opportunities to go around, as third-stringer Raheem Blackshear even carried four times for 32 yards and a score. However, thanks to his contribution in the passing game, Hubbard was the most productive member of the backfield, turning in an impressive Week 14 performance.
