Newsome ran for 15 yards on four carries during Sunday's 45-10 win over Arizona.

Newsome had just one touch for no yardage heading into Sunday. All four of Newsome's carries came during the Chargers' final full drive of the game, with Melvin Gordon (knee) knocked out of action. With Gordon likely sidelined on a week-to-week basis moving forward, expect a modest role for Newsome. Sunday brings a Pittsburgh defense ranked in the top half of the league against the run, surrendering 4.2 yards per carry.

Igwebuike was claimed off waivers by the 49ers on Tuesday.

Igwebuike was waived by the Buccaneers on Monday after being promoted from the team's practice squad earlier this month. He recorded one tackle as he played in one of two games while on the team. The 24-year-old brings some much needed depth to the safety spot with Jimmie Ward (forearm) on injured reserve, and Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) and D.J. Reed (heel) also nursing injuries.

Anderson worked out for the Lions on Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

In Detroit's first game without Kerryon Johnson (knee) on Thanksgiving, the backfield fared well against a stout Bears defensive front, combining for 23 carries for 109 yards and two touchdowns. LeGarrette Blount took on the bulk of the work -- 19 runs for 88 yards and the pair of scores -- which was more than double his carry count (7.8 per game) from the first 10 contests of the season. While the Lions may be doing their due diligence with Anderson, he could take some of the burden off Blount if he lands a deal in Detroit.

Coach Bill O'Brien revealed Tuesday that Foreman (Achilles) is not "all the way back" yet, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

Foreman is in the midst of his 21-day evaluation period for a return from injured reserve and has reportedly been making some progress. O'Brien's comment suggests Foreman stands a slim chance of suiting up in Week 13 against the Browns, though the running back hasn't officially been ruled out yet. With Lamar Miller averaging 4.9 yards per carry after a huge Week 12 performance, Foreman isn't guaranteed to have a meaningful role in the offense if/when he is activated from IR.

Henry rushed eight times for 30 yards in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Texans. He also caught two of his three targets for 20 yards, but lost a fumble following one of the receptions.

Henry was stripped on Tennessee's final offensive play of the game, concluding a poor night for the team's tailbacks. Starter Dion Lewis managed just eight yards on his seven carries, leaving wideout Corey Davis as the Titans' leading rusher with one carry for 39 yards. While Lewis' recent ineffectiveness on the ground would theoretically stand to benefit Henry, the fact that Henry has topped 40 yards just twice in the last six games points to a more prolonged lack of production. Heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Jets, Henry's value mostly derives in his potential goal-line usage.

Igwebuike was waived by the Buccaneers on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Igwebuike was initially promoted to the Buccaneers' active roster on Nov. 16, but he's now parted ways with the team. In his lone game with Tampa Bay, Igwebuike played 12 special teams snaps and recorded one assisted tackle. The undrafted rookie will now be subjected to league waivers and will be free to search for a depth role if he goes unclaimed.

Elliott (hip) isn't listed on the injury report the Cowboys released following Monday's practice.

Per Kate Hairopoulos of The Dallas Morning News Elliott was rested Sunday due to some hip soreness, but the running back practiced without limitations Monday. That sets the stage for him to fill his usual high-volume role out of the backfield in the Cowboys' Thursday night matchup with the Saints in Week 13.

Wilkins was on the field for eight of the Colts' 69 offensive snaps in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins and finished with three receptions for 32 yards. He lost a fumble following one of the receptions.

Considering Wilkins only had 10 receptions through the Colts' first 10 games, his more extensive usage in the passing game and lack of carries was fairly surprising. While the fumble dimmed the impact of his performance, Wilkins could benefit from an expanded role in the Indianapolis offense in Week 13 against the Jaguars if lead back Marlon Mack (concussion) can't play. In such a scenario, both Wilkins and Nyheim Hines would likely see enough touches to merit lineup consideration in deeper leagues.

Hines was on the field for 26 of the Colts' 69 offensive snaps in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins, carrying nine times for 28 yards and catching both of his targets for 22 yards.

While Hines' Week 12 numbers were nothing special, his fantasy outlook could be brighter ahead of next weekend's tilt with the Jaguars. PerMike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis, top back Marlon Mack isn't a lock to suit up against Jacksonville after sustaining a concussion Sunday that resulted in his removal from the contest. If Mack fails to pass the five-step protocol before the weekend, Hines and Jordan Wilkins would both presumably be in store for enhanced snap and touch counts.

Clement played 24 of the Eagles' 65 offensive snaps (37 percent) in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Giants, finishing with five carries for 45 yards and two receptions for 31 yards.

Clement's 76 yards from scrimmage were his most since Week 2, but it's difficult to get excited about his fantasy prospects moving forward considering that the production wasn't supported by a major uptick in volume. Furthermore, coach Doug Pederson told Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com on Monday that he wants to increase Josh Adams' (22 carries for 84 yards and a score in Week 12) workload down the stretch, so any additional touches for the newly-minted lead back might come at Clement's expense. On a positive note, Clement at least worked as the clear No. 2 option behind Adams on Sunday, as former starter Wendell Smallwood was limited to just one offensive snap.
