Knight rushed 10 times for 12 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Knight overcame a minor ankle injury in order to serve as the Cardinals' lead back sans Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle). The 24-year-old Knight struggled with his efficiency yet again, but he managed to reward committed fantasy managers by punching in Arizona's only rushing score of the contest. Backup Michael Carter (5-28-0) finished as the team's leading rusher on half as many carries as Knight received, as the team continues to deploy multiple backs to help replace the early-season loss of James Conner (ankle). It will be important to monitor both Benson's and Demercado's status prior to next Sunday's tilt against Tampa Bay, as the return of either tailback could noticeably eat into Knight's potential workload in Week 13. It is also worth noting that Knight appeared to be tending to a lower leg injury late in Sunday's loss, so he may pop back up on the injury report early in the upcoming practice week.

Williams rushed the ball 20 times for 87 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles. He added two receptions on three targets for 14 yards.

Williams turned in another solid day as a runner, reaching at least 80 yards on the ground for the third consecutive game. His longest gain went for 20 yards, the first time he's hit that threshold since Week 7. Williams also got a bit more involved as a pass catcher, logging his first multi-reception performance in his last six matchups. While he was unable to find the end zone, he did reach 100 yards from scrimmage for the fifth time this season.

Etienne (shoulder) took 15 carries for 86 yards while catching three of four targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.

Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) both shed their respective injury tags from last week's win over the Chargers, but it was the former who dominated the backfield touches against the Cardinals on Sunday. Tuten (7-17-0) struggled in his limited role, while Etienne more than doubled his teammate's touches with greater efficiency overall. This comes as a relief for Etienne's fantasy managers after the talented rushing duo split work evenly in last week's victory. Etienne will look to keep the good times rolling against the lowly Titans next Sunday after hitting pay dirt four times over his last three contests.

Nwangwu (hamstring) had a 34-yard kickoff return in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

Nwangwu suited up after being listed as questionable, but he ceded four of the Jets' five kickoff return opportunities to Isaiah Williams. When fully healthy, Nwangwu has served as the Jets' primary kickoff returner.

Beck caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

Beck has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown this season. The fullback's 10-yard reception Sunday was his longest catch of the season.

Davis rushed four times for seven yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

As usual, Davis didn't get many opportunities behind Breece Hall, who turned 20 touches into 119 scrimmage yards. Hall lost a fumble near the goal line but led the team in both rushing and receiving yards, so Hall isn't in much danger of seeing his role reduced in Week 13 against the Falcons.

Barkley rushed the ball 10 times for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys. He added seven receptions on eight targets for 52 yards while also losing a fumble.

The Eagles' offense was very efficient to begin the game, but Barkley was never able to get on track. He averaged 3.2 yards per carry or less for the third straight game, with his longest gain on the ground going for only seven yards. Positively, Barkley topped four receptions for the first time since joining the Eagles, though even that was tarnished by a fumble midway through the fourth quarter in Dallas territory. Barkley should have a chance to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Bears, but he's struggled to get on track for most of the season.

Robinson took 14 carries for 70 yards while corralling both of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over New Orleans.

Robinson failed to replicate last week's two-score effort against the Panthers, but he stayed above the century mark in total yards with an efficient day as both a runner and receiver. Backfield mate Tyler Allgeier garnered 13 touches, but his production was dwarfed by Atlanta's starter after finishing with just 49 yards from scrimmage. Robinson's success with QB Kirk Cousins under center Sunday helped quell concerns from fantasy managers regarding a potential dip in production after Michael Penix (knee) was placed on injured reserve this past week. Robinson should continue to be treated as an RB1 in fantasy for next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Jets.

Sampson rushed seven times for 23 yards while catching two of three targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders. He also had a 28-yard kickoff return.

Sampson scored a 66-yard touchdown on a screen pass in the fourth quarter, accounting for Shedeur Sanders' first NFL touchdown pass. Rookie second-round pick Quinshon Judkins scored two rushing touchdowns and continues to work ahead of Sampson, who was drafted two rounds later. Sampson has struggled on the ground, averaging only 2.3 yards per carry (89 yards on 38 attempts), but he has shown some upside as a pass catcher out of the backfield heading into a Week 13 home game against the 49ers.

Judkins rushed 16 times for 47 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.

Judkins produced touchdown runs of eight yards and two yards in the first quarter, both of which came out of the wildcat formation, with Judkins taking the snap directly. He went into the medical tent twice to be evaluated for a head injury in the fourth quarter, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, but Judkins gained clearance to return to the game. Judkins remains Cleveland's top backfield option on the ground, but fellow rookie Dylan Sampson has impressed as a pass catcher on a few occasions, and Sampson had a 66-yard touchdown reception on one of his nine touches Sunday. If the Browns can stay within striking distance, Judkins will likely get another hefty rushing workload in Week 13 against the 49ers.
