Mostert (knee) is listed as active Monday versus the Seahawks.

Mostert has been dealing with a knee injury for the better part of the last month but still played in each of the 49ers' last three games. His only noticeable impact during that stretch occurred on a 41-yard touchdown run Week 8 as he continues to play a bit role behind Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida. Expect Mostert to be mostly contained to special teams yet again in Week 10.

Edwards had four carries for 17 yards Sunday against the Bengals.

Even in a blowout, Edwards didn't factor into the game script much as he played just 11 offensive snaps, which marked a new season low. His four carries were his lowest since Week 2, when he posted three rushes for 11 yards. One reason for optimism regarding Edwards' stat line is that the Ravens ran just 45 plays and had the ball for a mere 23:49, so it's not as though the Ravens were leaning heavily on the other running backs. Edwards and the Ravens play host to the Texans in Week 11.

Connor (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Conner made just one appearance at practice last week before being ruled out for a second straight game, the result of a separated right shoulder. It appears the running back has made the requisite progress in his recovery, but his status still bears watching when the Steelers take the practice field before Thursday's game at Cleveland. If he returns to action Week 11, Conner likely will push Trey Edmunds back to a depth role with Jaylen Samuels acting as the primary change-of-pace option.

Williams had two carries for one yard in Sunday's loss to Miami.

Williams played seven snaps on offense as he got time with Jordan Wilkins suffering an ankle injury. Williams could be active again next week, but he'll need an injury to Marlon Mack or Nyheim Hines to get significant touches.

Hines had three carries for 14 yards and four receptions for 30 yards on seven targets in Sunday's loss to Miami.

Hines saw an increase in targets with Brian Hoyer at quarterback as he didn't throw much down field. With Jordan Wilkins hurting his ankle in the game, Hines could see more snaps next week against Jacksonville, but he's still having a smaller secondary role behind starter Marlon Mack.

Mattison had eight carries for 52 yards and one reception for two yards on his only target in Sunday's win at Dallas.

Mattison is the clear backup to Dalvin Cook, but he was impressive in his limited work as the Vikings stuck to the ground game (36 carries for 153 yards overall). Mattison continues to have an impressive rookie season (6.5 yards per carry) but isn't getting enough carries for viable fantasy value in most formats. He's a backup worth rostering, though, as he could have significant value as a starter should Cook get hurt.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Monday that he's not optimistic Snell (knee) will be available for Thursday's contest against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Snell is working to recover from surgery to trim his meniscus performed shortly after the Steelers' Oct. 28 win over Miami. The rookie fourth-round pick was given an estimated recovery timeline of 2-to-3 weeks, and Thursday's contest still falls within the latter range of that period. In the event that Snell is forced to miss a third straight game, Trey Edmunds will once again serve as the No. 3 option in Pittsburgh's backfield.

Coach Pat Shurmur said Monday that Barkley is feeling much better after the running back was banged up in the aftermath of Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.

The Giants haven't specified a particular injury for Barkley, who was sent in for an X-ray following the Week 10 loss. According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Shurmur expressed that he was pleased with the results of Barkley's examination and indicated that the Giants have no plans to shut down their franchise back for the season. Since returning from a three-week absence due to a high right ankle sprain, Barkley has struggled to find open running room over the Giants' past four games, gaining just 165 yards on 64 rushes (2.6 YPC). A Week 11 bye should prove helpful to Barkley while he looks to rest up and regain health ahead of the Giants' next game Nov. 24 versus the Bears.

The Steelers are optimistic Conner (shoulder) will be available to play in Thursday's game in Cleveland, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Conner's separated right shoulder has prevented him from playing in the Steelers' last two games, but the team believes that he'll be available in some capacity in Week 11 if he can avoid any setbacks on the health front within the next few days. Given the quick turnaround for the matchup with the Browns, Conner won't have much time in practice to prove his health, so he could be subject to a restricted workload if he gains clearance to play. His availability in any capacity would still be a welcome sight for the Steelers' ground game, which averaged a season-low 1.6 yards per carry (on 27 attempts) in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Rams.

Elliott rushed 20 times for 47 yards and had two catches for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.

The Vikings had a clear gameplan to not let Elliott beat them, and they executed it to perfection. It was a bit surprising that coach Jason Garrett did not find more creative ways to get his star back the ball in open space (just three targets). This was easily Elliott's worst fantasy performance this season, as he was at least able to hit pay dirt the three other occasions in which he did not rush for at least 100 yards. Zeke will have an excellent opportunity to bounce back in the Cowboys' next outing against a Lions defense that ranks 27th against the run.
