  • Chris Collier: Joins Raiders' practice squad

    Las Vegas signed Collier to its practice squad Wednesday.

    Collier was waived by Baltimore ahead of Week 10, but he's already found another opportunity with a different team less than three weeks later. Both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) are tending to injuries, so it may not be long before Collier hears his name called up to the Raiders' main unit.

  • Deuce Vaughn RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Minimal production against Houston

    Vaughn rushed four times for 13 yards and caught one of his two targets for four yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

    Vaughn played just 16 of the Cowboys' 83 offensive snaps in the contest, the fewest of any Dallas running back behind both Rico Dowdle (41) and Ezekiel Elliott (26). The 23-year-old Kansas State product has not been involved in the offense much in 2024, recording just 11 rushing attempts for 33 yards and three catches for 18 yards. Buried on the depth chart behind Dowdle and Elliott on an offense that is struggling to run the ball effectively, Vaughn should not be in consideration for fantasy purposes as the Cowboys head into a Week 12 matchup with the Commanders.

  • Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Four touches in loss

    Elliott rushed once for eight yards and caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Monday's 34-10 loss to the Texans.

    Elliott played 26 of the Cowboys' 83 offensive snaps Monday, with his 31 percent share being an increase from the 21 percent he handled in the Week 10 loss to the Eagles. Despite the bump in playing time, the veteran running back was unable to produce much in the way of relevant statistics. With teammate Rico Dowdle operating as the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Dallas, Elliott's fantasy utility has all but disappeared.

  • Nick Chubb RB | CLE

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Low usage was planned for Week 11

    Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that having Chubb play 22 snaps in this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints was planned with the Browns facing a quick turnaround for Week 12 with a Thursday night matchup with the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    The snap count against the Saints was the lowest since Chubb made his season debut Week 7, and his 11 carries matched a season-low total. The running back had his best showing from an efficiency standpoint this past week, averaging 4.5 yards per carry after posting a 2.7 YPC mark in his first three games back from injury. With a high chance of either rain or snow for Thursday's game, the Browns could rely more heavily on Chubb coming off his light workload in Week 11.

  • Khalil Herbert RB | CIN

    Bengals' Khalil Herbert: Plays four offensive snaps in loss

    Herbert failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.

    Herbert was not a part of the Bengals' offensive game plan Sunday, as the veteran running back still has yet to see a single touch on offense for Cincinnati. Herbert did, however, gain 29 yards on his only kick return in the contest. It's possible that the 26-year-old may still be taking time to get acclimated into the Bengals' offense, but it is surprising to see such limited playing time for a player that the Bengals traded for ahead of the trade deadline. Meanwhile, fellow running back Chase Brown has continued to see a massive workload as Cincinnati's lead back. Herbert will look to get more involved in the offense when the Bengals come out of their Week 12 bye to face the Steelers on Dec. 1.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Six touches in Week 11

    Wright rushed five times for four yards and caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.

    Wright handled just five carries for the second-straight week, however, his one reception was his first of the season. The rookie running back has continued to disappoint on the ground. Since the Dolphins' Week 6 bye, Wright has recorded just 23 carries for 76 yards. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane has impressed in his starting role as Miami's most efficient back on the ground and in the passing game. Wright's limited opportunities make him very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, and he likely would need injuries ahead of him on the running back depth chart to gain more relevance for fantasy. The Dolphins will host the Patriots in Week 12.

  • Raheem Mostert RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Non-factor against Las Vegas

    Mostert carried the ball three times for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.

    Mostert was forced out of Sunday's for a spell with a hip injury, but he was able to return to the contest. The veteran's 14 percent snap share and minus-2 rushing yards were both season lows. After a stellar 2023 campaign, Mostert's 2024 season has been a major disappointment. With De'Von Achane emerging as the clear lead back and with rookie Jaylen Wright proving worthy of a complementary role in the backfield, the 32-year-old Mostert seems to be turning into more of an afterthought on offense.

  • Ty Johnson RB | BUF

    Bills' Ty Johnson: Limited production in win

    Johnson rushed five times for 18 yards and failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs.

    Johnson played 33 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps Sunday, ahead of both James Cook (27) and Ray Davis (15). Despite handling his largest snap share of the season, the veteran running back was unable to get much going. Going forward, Johnson will continue to operate in his depth role, barring injuries to Cook and Davis, keeping him far off the fantasy radar as the Bills head into a Week 12 bye.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Five carries in Week 11

    Davis rushed five times for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs.

    Davis was minimally involved in the Bills game plan against the Chiefs, as the rookie running back continued to operate in a limited role. The 25-year-old played just 15 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Buffalo running back behind Ty Johnson (33) and James Cook (27). Davis remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes while Cook is healthy. The Bills head into a Week 12 bye before hosting the 49ers on Dec. 1.

  • Kendall Milton RB | CIN

    Kendall Milton: Signs to practice squad

    The Bengals signed Milton to their practice squad Tuesday.

    He'll continue to serve as organizational depth for Cincinnati while Zack Moss (neck) recovers on injured reserve. Milton doesn't yet have an NFL carry to his name.
