  • Qadree Ollison RB | PIT

    Falcons' Qadree Ollison: Five rushing attempts in Week 14

    Ollison rushed five times for 23 yards during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

    Ollison remains firmly behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, but he appears to have solidified himself as the No. 3 option after the Falcons waived Wayne Gallman. Across his last three appearances, the third-year pro has 16 rushing attempts for 64 yards and three catches for eight yards. However, while Atlanta's offense is reliant on its running backs, Ollison likely doesn't warrant any fantasy consideration as long as the aforementioned duo is healthy.

  • Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Sees three targets

    Ogunbowale caught two of three targets for five yards during Sunday's 20-0 loss to the TItans.

    It's the first time since Week 9 that Ogunbowale received a touch or played more than one offensive snap. The 27-year-old remains a non-factor in Jacksonville's offense and mostly contributes on special teams.

  • Corey Clement RB | ARI

    Cowboys' Corey Clement: Solid numbers as No. 2 back

    Clement carried the ball 13 times for 44 yards and caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Washington.

    With Tony Pollard (foot) sidelined, Clement stepped in as Dallas' No. 2 running back and actually saw one more touch than Ezekiel Elliott, but neither RB was efficient. It's not yet clear if Pollard will be ready to return Week 15 against the Giants, so Clement again could find himself with a fairly substantial role in the offense.

  • Tony Jones RB | ARI

    Saints' Tony Jones: Totals 29 yards

    Jones rushed six times for 10 yards while catching his only target for 19 yards during Sunday's 30-9 win over the Jets.

    After being a healthy scratch Week 13, the absence of Mark Ingram (COVID-19) seemingly threw Jones back into the mix. However, Alvin Kamara ended up commanding the vast majority the workload en route to 31 total touches. Even if Ingram remains sidelined Week 15 against Tampa Bay, Jones isn't likely to serve in anything more than a reserve role.

  • Lions' Godwin Igwebuike: Just eight carries in spot start

    Igwebuike rushed eight times for 25 yards during Sunday's 38-10 loss to Denver

    Igwebuike seemed to be in store for a large role -- particularly as a receiver -- in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19), especially with Jermar Jefferson hobbled by the flu plus an ankle injury. While Igwebuike got the starting nod, Detroit didn't target any running backs in the passing game before the final drive despite trailing for the majority of the game. Making matters worse was that a large amount of garbage time allowed him to ultimately be out-touched, 8-13, by Craig Reynolds. However, because any of Swift, Williams or Jefferson could be back in the mix as soon as Week 15 against Arizona, it's possible neither Igwebuike or Craig Reynolds will be worthy of further fantasy consideration in most leagues.

  • Lions' Jermar Jefferson: Surprisingly minimal offensive role

    Jefferson logged five offensive snaps but did not record a touch during Sunday's 38-10 loss to Denver.

    Many thought Jefferson would take on a key role in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (COVID-19). However, coach Dan Campbell said after the game that the running back was not a big part of the practice rotation in the week before due to an ankle injury in combination with having the flu, which allowed Godwin Igwebuike and Craig Reynolds to carry the load. In any case, if either of Swift or Williams return Week 15 against Arizona, none on these depth players will be worth further fantasy consideration anyway.

  • Texans' Scottie Phillips: Won't return in Week 15

    Phillips (ankle) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Although Phillips will be forced to miss a fifth consecutive game due to his ankle injury, coach David Culley remains optimistic that the running back will be able to return prior to the end of the regular season. The 24-year-old logged six carries for 13 yards while securing two of three targets for nine yards across his first three appearances of the year.

  • Melvin Gordon RB | BAL

    Broncos' Melvin Gordon: Dealing with sprained thumb

    Gordon suffered a sprained thumb during Sunday's blowout win over the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Gordon was able to re-enter Sunday's contest after initially suffering the injury, and he ended up handling 24 carries for 111 yards and two scores, so it doesn't appear as though his involvement will need to be limited going forward. Of course, the Broncos do also have a rookie who's proven more than capable of carrying the load in Javonte Williams, which could influence the team's decision-making if Gordon's injury ends up being more serious than expected. Denver will take on Cincinnati in Week 15.

  • Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC

    Panthers' Ameer Abdullah: Leads tailbacks in snaps

    Abdullah rushed four times for 16 yards and caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons.

    Abdullah, due to his superior pass-catching skills, actually played 13 more offensive snaps than fellow tailback Chuba Hubbard. Both players managed just 33 scrimmage yards, but Hubbard scored a touchdown to boost his performance and tied for the team lead with 10 carries. With a tough matchup in Week 15 at the Bills, the game flow could again favor Abdullah, but Buffalo's defense could make it difficult to muster much yardage.

  • DeeJay Dallas RB | MIN

    Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Carries twice in win

    Dallas rushed twice for 16 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also returned two kicks for 41 yards.

    Dallas recorded just 10 offensive snaps even though Travis Homer (calf) was out of the lineup, finishing behind Rashaad Penny (35) and Alex Collins (14). He's highly valuable for the Seahawks on special teams, but fantasy managers don't need to keep tabs on him unless Penny or Collins is injured.
