  • Packers' Chris Brooks: Not involved against Eagles

    Brooks failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.

    Brooks was a complete nonfactor Monday night, playing just six of the Packers' 68 offensive snaps in the contest. The third-year running back has not handled a single carry for the past for games and is averaging a 12 percent offensive snap share this season. Brooks remains far off the fantasy radar based on his limited usage as the No. 3 running back behind starter Josh Jacobs and backup Emanuel Wilson. Next up for the Packers is a Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

  • Will Shipley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Will Shipley: Season-high six touches

    Shipley rushed four times for 17 yards and caught a pair of passes for 17 more yards in Monday's win over the Packers.

    Both Shipley's carries and catches represented season highs, but the overall picture was still quite a minor role for Shipley. He did at least see the field for 12 offensive snaps (another season high and four more than Tank Bigsby managed), but his pathway to becoming a significant part of the Eagles' offense is hard to envision as long as Saquon Barkley remains healthy.

  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Role shrinks with Barkley healthy

    Bigsby gained seven yards on three carries in Monday's 10-7 win over the Packers.

    He rushed for 104 yards in Week 9 after Saquon Barkley left early with a groin injury, but with the Eagles' lead back healthy again following a bye week, Bigsby had very little to do in Week 11. Bigsby also saw a smaller workload than fellow depth RB Will Shipley, who played 12 offensive snaps and had six touches compared to Bigsby's six and three.

  • Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Remains limited Tuesday

    Jennings (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Jennings played just five offensive snaps before being forced out of a Week 10 win over the Buccaneers. Though he was active enough to be listed as limited on the injury report for the second day in a row, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com noted that Jennings was spotted working out on a side field during the media-access portion of Tuesday's session, making it unclear whether the running back actually mixed into drills. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) was also listed as limited and was seen working out on the side, so the availability of both backs for Thursday's game against the Jets is uncertain. With Stevenson missing his second game in a row in Week 10 and Jennings exiting the contest early, rookie TreVeyon Henderson took full advantage as he amassed 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches to perhaps earn himself a larger role even after the New England backfield is back to full strength.

  • Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ

    Jets' Khalil Herbert: Estimated as full Tuesday

    Herbert (groin) was estimated as a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Herbert has appeared in just two games this season, logging 17 snaps on special teams. He's far off the fantasy radar.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Turns in limited practice

    The Patriots listed Stevenson (toe) as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Though Stevenson went down as a limited participant for the second day in a row, it's unclear how extensively he mixed into drills with his teammates. According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, Stevenson and fellow running back Terrell Jennings (knee) were spotted working out off to the side during the portion of Tuesday's session that was open to the media. Given that Stevenson's toe injury has already kept him out for two games, he may be hard-pressed to gain clearance on a short week, and his snaps could be limited if he does suit up. TreVeyon Henderson (knee) turned in a full practice Tuesday and profiles as the preferred fantasy option among New England running backs for Week 11 after he accounted for 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: In clear for Thursday night

    Henderson (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Estimated as a limited participant Monday on the Patriots' initial weekly practice report, Henderson took every rep in Tuesday's session to erase any concerns about his availability for Thursday's game against the Jets. The makeup of the New England backfield remains unclear, however, as Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) were listed as limited participants for a second straight day and were spotted mostly working off to the side Tuesday, per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. The status of Stevenson in particular will bear watching, as a third straight absence could set the stage for another big performance from Henderson. The rookie second-round pick erupted for 147 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries against the Bucs in Week 10.

  • Buccaneers' Josh Williams: Dealt six-game ban

    Williams received a six-game suspension Tuesday for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    The undrafted rookie out of LSU had suited up in three of the Buccaneers' first nine games this season, carrying four times for 11 yards. Williams has received most of his playing time on special teams, though he had been active as the team's No. 3 running back behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker over the previous two games while Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) has remained sidelined. With Irving not expected to return to action Week 11 at Buffalo, expect the Buccaneers to elevate one of Owen Wright or Michael Wiley to serve as their No. 3 back in Williams' absence.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Could land on IR

    The Broncos are viewing Dobbins as a potential candidate for injured reserve after he sustained a left foot injury in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Dobbins suffered the injury on an apparent hip-drop tackle in the third quarter, and the team is waiting for a second opinion on it before making any roster decisions. Though the Broncos have a longer turnaround than normal in advance of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Dobbins is at significant risk of being sidelined for the first time all season. Rookie RJ Harvey is the next man up for touches and snaps in the Denver backfield, while Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin would be candidates for increased roles as well.

  • Jonathan Ward: Back with New England

    The Patriots signed Ward to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Ward was cut from New England's practice squad last week, but with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) banged up, Ward is back to provide some depth at running back.
