Williams rushed five times for 29 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards Sunday against the Jets.

With starter Jay Ajayi operating as a true bellcow right now, Williams was only used to provide a change of pace. However, he appears to have solidified his role as the Dolphins' No. 2 tailback with Arian Foster enjoying retirement and Kenyan Drake almost exclusively contained to special teams.

Zenner did not log an offensive snap Sunday against the Vikings.

With Theo Riddick yanked after blowing an assignment in pass protection, it was rookie Dwayne Washington -- not Zenner -- who took over running back duties for Detroit. This is notable because Washington was a healthy scratch last week while Zenner operated as the Lions' big-back complement. As such, the backfield appears fluid behind Riddick for the time being, but should push come to shove, Washington is the best bet to serve in the No. 2 role moving forward.

Coach Mike Mularkey noted Monday that Henry (strained calf) "may practice Wednesday, or he may be out for two weeks."

"It is really going to depend on how he progresses, and the pain," Mularkey added regarding the running back's status. With that in mind, Henry is looking iffy for Sunday's game against the Packers, at a minimum. For however long he's sidelined, Antonio Andrews and David Fluellen are in line to work behind top back DeMarco Murray.

Barner rushed for a three-yard touchdown on his lone carry of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Barner's score started the third quarter off well for the Eagles, but with Darren Sproles, Ryan Mathews and Wendell Smallwood also around, it's hard to rely on his weekly workload.

Henry could miss up to two weeks due to the calf strain he suffered prior to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of Titansonline.com reports.

Henry hasn't been ruled out of this Sunday's game against the Packers, but any immediate involvement is expected hinge on pain tolerance, which could impact his practice level this week. While Henry's status is sure to be updated in the coming days, it appears Antonio Andrews should be prepared for a larger role behind starting tailback DeMarco Murray.

Murray was on the field for 43 of the Raiders' 88 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over the Broncos. In the process, he carried 20 times for a season-high 114 yards and three TDs and also caught one pass for 13 yards.

Fellow running backs Jalen Richard (eight carries for 62 yards) and DeAndre Washington (10 carries for 35 yards) also got into the act as the Raiders' ground game dictated the pace in Sunday's win. Murray owners will need to look elsewhere for RB production this week, with the Raiders on bye, but he'll back back to head the team's backfield in Week 11 against the Texans at home.

Patterson had six receptions for 45 yards on eight targets in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Patterson was second on the team in targets and snaps among wide receivers on offense (40), as he and Adam Thielen have had about an equal workload as the No. 2 and No. 3 receivers the past three weeks. It looks like new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will continue to keep Patterson as a key component of the passing game.

Jones (knee) took part in individual drills during Monday's practice, ESPN's John Keim reports.

Jones didn't practice in the buildup to and was sidelined for the Redskins' Week 8 tie with the Bengals due to a knee injury, so his involvement level as Washington reconvened Monday is encouraging. That being said, it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to increase his workload further this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. Consequently, Wednesday's injury report should provide more useful information for owners.

Davis carried the ball three times for 10 yards and caught a pass for seven yards in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars.

Davis remains behind both Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware (concussion) on the depth chart, but with Jamaal Charles (knee) potentially done for the season and Ware ruled out Sunday, Davis served as the relief back for West. The Chiefs did very little on offense this week, but the fourth-year back is unlikely to make much impact beyond the 10 snaps he received Sunday unless the other options are unavailable.

Cunningham rushed three times for 10 yards and caught five of six targets for 32 yards during Sunday's loss to Carolina.

There haven't been many opportunities for Cunningham behind Todd Gurley. However, Week 9 saw the snap counts between the two backs closer than in the previous two games, as Gurley received 43 offensive snaps compared to Cunningham's 25. Still, Cunningham is likely best viewed as a desperation stash/handcuff for Gurley owners, and being attached to the underwhelming Los Angeles' offense further limits Cunningham's fantasy potential.
