Ollie Gordon II RB | MIA
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Questionable after limited practice
Gordon (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon logged a trio of limited practices during the week. If the backup running back doesn't get the green light to play Sunday, Jaylen Wright would assume change-of-pace duties behind De'Von Achane.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Working on side Friday
Hampton (ankle) is working off to the side at Friday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Hampton won't be listed as a participant in practice, but his ability to work in any capacity is an encouraging step in the right direction as the rookie running back recovers from an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve. Hampton has already spent the requisite four weeks on IR, but coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Hampton isn't expected to return until after the Chargers' Week 12 bye.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Questionable to face Baltimore
Jones (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Jones suffered an AC joint sprain during the third quarter of Sunday's 27-24 win over the Lions. He missed the rest of the game and didn't practice Wednesday, before returning Thursday as a limited participant. Jones appears truly questionable heading into the weekend, with Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott in line for larger roles if Jones ends up on the inactive list before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Remains RB2 with Stevenson out
Jennings is expected to see added snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't play.
Jennings played a complementary role alongside TreVeyon Henderson in Stevenson's absence against the Falcons in Week 9, turning 12 touches into 44 yards from scrimmage, including a three-yard touchdown run. Per Reiss, Stevenson remaining out paves the way for Henderson to make his second straight start Sunday, but Jennings is poised to maintain his expanded role, while fellow RB D'Ernest Johnson likely will be elevated from the practice squad once again to provide backfield depth this weekend.

Roschon Johnson RB | CHI
Bears' Roschon Johnson: Cleared for return
Johnson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Johnson is ready to return from a two-game absence but may mostly be limited to special teams. No. 2 running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) avoided an injury designation, while starter D'Andre Swift (groin/personal) is listed as questionable but seems likely to play.
-
D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Bears' D'Andre Swift: Listed as questionable
Swift (groin/personal) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Swift returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant before upgrading to full participation Thursday. He then missed practice Friday, with 'personal' added to the injury report (he was previously just listed with the same groin injury that held him out last week). Bears coach Ben Johnson sounded like he expected Swift to play this week, telling reporters earlier Friday that he planned to rely on the "hot hand" between Swift and Kyle Monangai. Johnson didn't say anything about Swift missing practice or potentially missing the upcoming game.

James Cook RB | BUF
Bills' James Cook: Clear for Week 10
Cook (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Miami.
After Cook sat out Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, coach Sean McDermott told Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com that the running back's health concern emerged during this past Sunday's win against the Chiefs and that he'd been sore in the meantime. Cook followed up Wednesday's DNP with a limited session Thursday and a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 10 action. He'll be facing a Dolphins defense Sunday against whom he went for 118 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 22 touches back in Week 3.

J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN
Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Injures foot in Week 10
Dobbins suffered a foot injury during Thursday's 10-7 win against the Raiders and is getting a second opinion, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Dobbins left the field after an apparent hip-drop tackle at the end of a two-yard run in the middle of the third quarter and missed the next three drives before returning late in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory with six more carries to run out the clock. Overall, he had 18 rushes for 77 yards and caught his only target for seven yards, while No. 2 RB RJ Harvey combined for six touches for 18 total yards. The Broncos don't play again until Sunday, Nov. 16 versus the Chiefs, so a diagnosis and potential prognosis should be known well before that point.
-
Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Listed as questionable
Kamara (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Kamara has been listed with an ankle injury for the past month and still hasn't missed a game, including last week when he was listed as questionable. Fantasy managers will still want to keep an eye on the situation, with Devin Neal and Audric Estime being the alternatives in the New Orleans backfield.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: On track to lead backfield Sunday
With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) having been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Henderson once again is in line to see added backfield work this weekend.
In Stevenson's absence in the Patriots' 24-23 win over the Falcons in Week 9, Henderson started and recorded a 75 percent snap share en route to carrying 14 times for 55 yards and catching four of his six targets for 32 yards, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of New England's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times for 35 yards and a TD and hauling in his only target for nine yards. Against Tampa Bay, look for the timeshare to continue to lean in Henderson's favor, a context that gives him Week 10 fantasy lineup viability. Meanwhile, Jennings offers an option for those in deeper formats who are scrambling for RB help this week.
