Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC
Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Logs limited estimate
The Raiders listed Abdullah (hamstring) as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Abdullah's limted estimate was his second straight in as many days, as the Raiders prep for a matchup with the Rams on Thursday. The veteran running back recorded one carry for four yards and failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Chargers, but with Josh Jacobs playing through some nagging injuries, the rest of Las Vegas' backfield options -- including Abdullah -- could see additional work if at any point Jacobs needs some extra rest.

Jonathan Ward RB | BAL
Jonathan Ward: Loses roster spot
Ward was cut from the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Ward joined the team last Tuesday after being waived by the Cardinals. His departure could be a sign that Michael Carter (ankle) will be ready to return Week 14 against the Bills.

Deon Jackson RB | DET
Colts' Deon Jackson: Just two carries in loss
Jackson had two carries for six yards in Sunday's loss at Dallas.
Jackson played on eight of the offense's 72 snaps. He's the clear backup to Jonathan Taylor after the trade of Nyheim Hines to Buffalo, but Taylor is playing nearly every down under new head coach Jeff Saturday.

Boston Scott RB | PIT
Eagles' Boston Scott: Six carries and one catch
Scott carried the ball six times for 16 yards and caught one pass for five more yards in Sunday's big win over the Titans.
Scott had just four fewer carries and eight fewer yards than starting running back Miles Sanders, but that's primarily thanks to the fact that the Eagles had so much success in the passing game that they didn't need to do much on the ground. Scott has now reached seven touches twice this season but has yet to receive more than that.

Kenneth Gainwell RB | TB
Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Six touches in blowout win
Gainwell gained 15 yards on three carries and added 38 more yards on a trio of receptions in Sunday's 35-10 win over Tennessee.
Gainwell averaged 3.9 touches through the Eagles' first 10 games, but he's now averaged 7.5 touches across the team's last two contests. While that's a noticeable trend in the right direction, Gainwell's workload remains far too low for him to be a reliable fantasy option.

Isaiah Spiller RB | LV
Chargers' Isaiah Spiller: Active but absent
Spiller was active for Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Raiders, but did not record a snap.
Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley wound up as the only two running backs to take a snap in Sunday's loss. At this point, it's obvious the rookie's role has completely evaporated with the return of Kelley, and that's unlikely to change with the Chargers still in playoff contention.

Joshua Kelley RB | TEN
Chargers' Joshua Kelley: Solid despite loss
Kelley carried the ball seven times for 30 yards and failed to catch his only target Sunday in the 27-20 loss to the Raiders.
Kelley was the Chargers' most efficient runner, leading the team in yards per carry during a game in which the run game as whole struggled mightily. Even though the 25-year-old running back did not light up the stat sheet, this game was still reassuring for his value since he established himself as the clear-cut backup to Austin Ekeler, as they were the only two backs to touch the ball.
-
Ronald Jones RB | DAL
Chiefs' Ronald Jones: Not involved versus Bengals
Jones had zero carries during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bengals.
Jones made his mark on the box score in Week 12 but didn't enjoy similar involvement Sunday, logging just three total snaps. Both Jerick McKinnon (26 snaps) and Isiah Pacheco (25 snaps) are ahead of Jones in the pecking order, so there's not much upside at this point.

Marlon Mack RB | ARI
Broncos' Marlon Mack: Minimal involvement in loss
Mack rushed two times for three yards and secured his only target for six yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.
Mack played just five of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 3 running back. The veteran recorded two rushes and one catch in each of his first two games with Denver. With Latavius Murray dominating touches out of the backfield and Mike Boone slotting in as the team's top backup, Mack's opportunities for meaningful production should remain limited going forward. Barring injuries to Murray and Boone, the 26-year-old should be far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14.
