Snell rushed seven times for 14 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.

James Conner exited with a thigh injury after getting six carries, paving the way for a timeshare between Snell, Kerrith Whyte (six carries) and Jaylen Samuels (three carries, four catches). Even if Conner sits against the Ravens in Week 17, none of the Steelers' other running backs will be advisable options given their fractional deployment.

Kamara rushed 11 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns, grabbing six of seven targets for an additional 30 yards in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Kamara broke out of his scoring slump in fine fashion Sunday, delivering a pair of touchdown runs while racking up over 100 yards from scrimmage in the process. Watching the Tennessee product explode against the Titans had to be a relief for fantasy owners, as Kamara hadn't scored since Week 3 and broke 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 12. He'll look to keep the momentum going in Week 17 against a pedestrian Panthers run defense.

Hill rushed three times for 19 yards and a touchdown while catching three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 31-15 win over Cleveland.

The speedy rookie sealed the win with his first NFL touchdown in the fourth quarter, scoring from 18 yards out. Starting running back Mark Ingram left this game with a calf injury, resulting in more work for both Hill and Gus Edwards (12 carries for 66 yards). Hill and Edwards will likely split the workload against the Steelers in Week 17, as Ingram should sit that one out regardless of his health since Baltimore has locked up home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

Mack ran for 95 yards on 16 carries and added six yards on two catches during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.

Mack had a rough time of it in Weeks 14 and 15, but he rebounded in a big way against Carolina's poor run defense. He plunged for a two-yard touchdown in the second quarter and helped run out the game with a 30-yard rumble in the fourth quarter. Mack has run hot and cold this season, but he has an opportunity to end the season on a high note. The Colts wrap up versus the Jaguars on Sunday, against whom Mack ran for 109 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries in Week 11. His 7.8 yards per carry during that game stands as Mack's highest since Week 6 of the 2017 season.

Edwards rushed 12 times for 66 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns.

Edwards took over as the lead back after Mark Ingram exited with a second-half calf injury. While Edwards got 12 carries to Justice Hill's three, it was Hill who scored Baltimore's lone touchdown after Ingram's exit on an 18-yard run. Even if Ingram's injury doesn't prove serious, he'll likely sit out against the Steelers in Week 17 with Baltimore having locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, but it's unclear whether coach John Harbaugh will opt to hand Edwards a workhorse role or limit his touches to keep him fresh for the postseason.

Gaskin (ankle) is out for the remainder of the game against the Bengals, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Gaskin was carted off the field after suffering a left ankle injury. That could mean more reps for De'Lance Turner in the closing minutes of the contest.

Hills (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos,.

Hills made his NFL debut in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, rushing 10 times for 21 yards and two scores. The pair of touchdowns made it a productive debut, but he was inefficient on a per-touch basis overall. With Kerryon Johnson (knee) back in the lineup, Hills' services won't be needed against the Broncos.

Conner was forced of Sunday's game against the Jets with a thigh injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Conner carried six times for 32 yards. In his absence, Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels and Kerrith Whyte are on hand to handle the Steelers' backfield duties.

Mixon, who's been dealing with a stomach bug since Saturday, is active and was present for warmups prior to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Contipelli previously noted "keep an eye on (Mixon's) workload" Sunday, but the running back's stomach issue won't prevent him from giving it a go against the Dolphins. It remains to be seen, however, how much, if at all, his Week 16 workload might be impacted.

Mixon, who was limited by a calf issue Thursday and then practiced fully Friday, is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but he's been dealing with a stomach bug since Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Per Contipelli, "keep an eye on (Mixon's) workload - (it's) not yet known how much he will play" Sunday. If Mixon ends up limited at all versus Miami, added work would be on tap for Giovani Bernard.
