  • Bills' Devin Singletary: Tops 100 scrimmage yards in win

    Singletary rushed 11 times for 82 yards and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chargers. He also lost a fumble.

    Both Singletary and Zack Moss (nine carries for 59 yards) were effective on the ground, but quarterback Josh Allen scored Buffalo's lone rushing touchdown. With both Allen and Moss cutting into his production, Singletary has mustered just one touchdown heading into a Week 13 date with the 49ers. On the bright side, Singletary topped 100 scrimmage yards for just the second time all season.

  • Austin Ekeler RB | WAS

    Chargers' Austin Ekeler: Explosive in return from injury

    Ekeler (hamstring) carried the ball 14 times for 44 yards and also caught 11 of his 16 targets for 85 yards in the 27-17 loss Sunday to the Bills.

    It quickly became apparent the pre-game report suggesting Ekeler would not be the team's bell-cow was misinformed as the talented back was the main catalyst on the team's first scoring drive of the game. It's hard to imagine the Chargers planned to give Ekeler a whopping 16 targets in his first game back after a nearly two-month absence, but an early deficit essentially forced a pass-heavy game script for most of the contest. A seven-carry advantage over backup Joshua Kelley mimicked the type of split the Chargers deployed earlier in the season, so it's safe to say Ekeler is back to being one of the top fantasy running backs, especially in PPR leagues.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Pummels Colts with three touchdowns

    Henry carried the ball 27 times for 178 yards and three touchdowns in Week 12 against the Colts. He added two receptions for seven yards.

    Henry sliced through the Colts' run defense for the entire game, ripping off eight runs of ten or more yards. He also notched his fourth multi-touchdown effort of the campaign, logging rushing scores of 12, 11 and one yards. Henry continues to blend tremendous volume -- he's topped 20 carries in five of his last seven contests -- with efficiency and has remained one of the most consistent producers at the position as a result. He'll draw a matchup against the Browns in Week 13.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Loses fumble in blowout loss

    Jacobs (ankle) registered 27 rushing yards on seven carries while catching all three of his targets for 17 receiving yards during Sunday's 43-6 loss to Atlanta. He also lost one fumble.

    Jacobs' fumble came at the 1:53 mark of the third quarter with Las Vegas backed up at its own 10-yard line. The giveaway allowed Atlanta to tack on another field goal to an already-dominant 30-6 lead. The second-year pro out of Alabama posted his second-lowest rushing total of the 2020 campaign during Sunday's loss, as the game script heavily restricted his involvement with the Raiders trailing by 13 going into halftime. It's hard to imagine Jacobs' usage fading for the same reason Week 13 with the Raiders traveling to MetLife Stadium to face the winless Jets. His ankle will be something to keep an eye on, however, as coach Jon Gruden noted the injury to be of concern postgame, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Dominates Jaguars on ground

    Chubb carried the ball 19 times for 144 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against Jacksonville. He added three receptions for 32 yards.

    Chubb averaged 7.6 yards per carry on the strength of five rushes that went for more than 10 yards. He added to his big day with a one-yard rushing score for his sixth touchdown of the season. Uncharacteristically, Chubb also chipped in a significant amount as a receiver, highlighted by receptions of 14 and 13 yards. Though Kareem Hunt continues to cut into Chubb's workload, Chubb has topped 100 rushing yards in all three of his contests since returning from a knee injury. He'll draw a matchup against the Titans in Week 13.

  • Jaguars' James Robinson: Posts 159 scrimmage yards

    Robinson had 22 carries for 128 yards and a touchdown while catching five of six targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Browns.

    The rookie UDFA scored on a four-yard run in the final minutes to give the Jaguars a chance to tie the game 27-27, but the two-point conversion failed. Robinson continues to dominate the backfield work for Jacksonville, as Laviska Shenault's one carry for six yards was the only rush attempt from someone besides Robinson or quarterback Mike Glennon. The 22-year-old Robinson is up to 1,170 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns through 11 games, and he should continue to see heavy volume down the stretch, regardless of the matchup.

  • Kenyan Drake RB | GB

    Cardinals' Kenyan Drake: Scores twice in loss

    Drake rushed 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching three of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Drake capped Arizona's first drive with a one-yard score one play after being denied a touchdown by a stingy spot. His attempt at a second one-yard plunge on the final play of the first half was ruled just short of the goal line, but there was no doubt about Drake's one-yard touchdown to tie the score at 17 apiece in the fourth quarter. The running back's efforts ultimately weren't enough on a quiet afternoon for quarterback Kyler Murray, but Drake now has three rushing touchdowns in his last two games heading into a Week 13 date with the Rams.

  • Buccaneers' Ke'Shawn Vaughn: Inactive Week 12

    Vaughn (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Chiefs, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    The rookie running back continues to lose out on active status to veteran LeSean McCoy, even though the latter is not seeing any work behind Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette. Vaughn's next opportunity for game action will come in Week 14 against the Vikings following the Buccaneers' Week 13 bye.

  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    49ers' Jeff Wilson: Returns Week 12

    Wilson (ankle) is listed as active Sunday versus the Rams.

    Making his first appearance since Oct. 25 at New England, Wilson may factor into the 49ers backfield with Tevin Coleman (knee) unavailable. That said, Raheem Mostert also was activated from IR on Saturday, so Wilson could play second or even third fiddle with Jerick McKinnon on hand.

  • 49ers' Raheem Mostert: Back in action Week 12

    Mostert (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams.

    Mostert has been sidelined since Oct. 18, when he sustained a high-ankle sprain that forced a stint on IR. With a week of practice under his belt, he's back in the lineup, but it remains to be seen if he'll be the primary ballcarrier right off the bat. Despite playing in just four games this season, he leads the 49ers in rushing with 303 yards and has 150 yards through the air, making him a good candidate to resume his previous role with Tevin Coleman (knee) out. Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson (ankle) also are on hand for touches out of San Francisco's backfield.
