Kelley ran for 33 yards on 10 carries against the Giants on Sunday.

Kelley and fellow running back Justin Jackson (nine carries for 35 yards) saw elevated workloads due to starter Austin Ekeler suffering an ankle injury in the third quarter. It's not clear what Ekeler's status might be for Week 15, but if he misses time then -- based on Sunday's game -- Kelley and Jackson would get the first cracks at the vacated workload. Kelley and Larry Rountree (inactive, coach's decision Sunday) are probably the Chargers' best candidates to run between the tackles among their backup runners, with the lightly-built Jackson profiling best for the passing-down work.

Foreman recorded 13 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars. He added two receptions on two targets for 15 yards.

Foreman accounted for 13 of the Titans' 34 rushing attempts, though no other back on the team surpassed eight carries. He wasn't particularly efficient as he managed only 3.6 yards per carry, and his longest gain went for only eight yards. However, Foreman did manage to find the end zone on the Titans' first offensive possession, punching in an attempt from five yards away. Since being promoted to Tennessee's active roster in Week 9, Foreman has topped 60 total yards in three of four games.

Ekeler exited Sunday's contest against the Giants due to an ankle injury.

Ekeler picked up the injury midway through the third quarter during a three-yard run. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Chargers trainers worked on Ekeler's left ankle before helping him off the field. After receiving a heavy tape job and testing it out on the sideline, the team determined the running back to be questionable to return. If he doesn't get back in the game, Ekeler will finish Week 14 with 12 carries for 68 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on four targets) for 17 yards. With Larry Rountree a healthy scratch Sunday, L.A. is left with Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley out of the backfield.

Perine rushed seven times for 28 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints.

Austin Walter (illness) joined Michael Carter (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (concussion) on the sidelines before he could play a snap, leaving Perine to work as the power complement to Ty Johnson's finesse in the backfield. Perine was more effective than Johnson (six carries for 17 yards) on the ground, but he wasn't involved as a pass-catcher, and the Jets never got close enough to give Perine any carries by the goal line. Even if none of the injured running backs return, New York's struggles offensively and Perine's limited skill set will make him tough to trust in Week 15 against the Dolphins.

Robinson recorded six carries for four yards in Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Titans. He was not targeted.

After consistent chatter surrounding Robinson's role throughout the week, he accounted for the majority of Jacksonville's rush attempts. However, that still amounted to very little volume, as the Jaguars tallied only eight rushing attempts for the entire day. Equally concerning was Robinson's lack of involvement as a receiver, as Sunday's effort marked his first game without a target on the season. A Week 15 matchup against Houston could offer some reprieve for Robinson, but given that he's combined to record only 14 carries for 28 yards across his last two games, it will be difficult to have significant faith in his potential to produce.

Jacobs rushed the ball nine times for 24 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs. He added five receptions on six targets for 46 yards.

Jacobs began the game in inauspicious fashion by fumbling on his first carry. His day didn't get much better on the ground, as he was limited to fewer than 30 yards for the third time this season. On the other hand, Jacobs did manage to chip in as a receiver, highlighted by catches of 14 and 10 yards. Work as a pass catcher has been the key to his production of late, as he now has at least four receptions in five of his last six games.

Gibson ran for 36 yards on 10 carries and lost a fumble against Dallas on Sunday.

Gibson is capable of breezing past 20 carries in close games or ones where Washington has the lead, but Sunday, the Football Team was only able to get within striking distance in the fourth quarter. Gibson's opportunity level dwindled as a result, leaving him with his lowest carry count since Week 8. Gibson also lost his fourth fumble of the season Sunday, certainly a worrisome trend. His first opportunity to bounce back comes on the road against the Eagles in Week 15.

Edwards-Helaire recorded 10 carries for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders. He added three receptions for five yards .

Edwards-Helaire saw the majority of his work in the first half, as he was limited to only three carries in the final two quarters due to Kansas City's massive lead in the game. He wasn't all that impressive -- his longest rush went for only seven yards -- but he managed to find the end zone twice from inside the 10-yard line. This was Edwards-Helaire's lowest yardage total since returning from injured reserve in Week 11, though he has three total touchdowns in that span.

Freeman rushed 11 times for 15 yards and caught six of eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Freeman took over as the lead back after Rex Burkhead (groin) left the game, as David Johnson didn't dress because he's in COVID-19 protocols. He couldn't find any running room but was effective as a pass-catcher. If neither Burkhead nor Johnson are cleared to return in Week 15, Freeman would be an appealing option in a favorable matchup against Jacksonville.

Elliott ran for 45 yards on 12 carries and caught one pass for 15 yards on six targets against Washington on Sunday.

Elliott played with a knee brace in this game, which ESPN reporter Todd Archer suspected was a first for the running back this season despite the fact he's been managing discomfort for several weeks. While his willingness to play hurt is admirable, it increasingly appears that his lingering knee issue has meaningfully hindered Elliott's effectiveness. The Cowboys limited the hits on Elliott by giving Corey Clement 13 carries Sunday, which hopefully will give the former the chance to progress in his recovery and capitalize on an otherwise favorable Week 15 matchup against the Giants.
