  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Racks up 75 yards

    Etienne rushed the ball 14 times for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Titans. He added one reception on two targets for 26 yards.

    Etienne's role continues to fluctuate every week, and he recorded a season-high 15 rushing attempts in Sunday's win. That was enough to lead the backfield, as Tank Bigsby was limited to 11 total touches. As has been the case for most of the campaign, Etienne's efficiency on the ground left plenty to be desired, though he did manage long gains of 15 and 11 yards. He also had an impressive 26-yard reception that required him to weave through multiple defenders. Though Etienne's usage is frustrating to predict, he has at least 70 yards from scrimmage in three of his last five games.

  • Saints' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Seven touches in Saints debut

    Edwards-Helaire carried the ball five times for 20 yards and caught two of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Raiders.

    Claimed off waivers from Kansas City less than two weeks ago, Edwards-Helaire saw more action than expected Sunday in his New Orleans debut after Kendre Miller was forced from the game due to a potential concussion. With Alvin Kamara (groin) also sidelined and the Saints focused on 2025, Edwards-Helaire -- who starred for LSU in college -- could find himself leading the backfield in Week 18 against the Buccaneers.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Tallies 30 total yards in Week 17

    Singletary rushed five times for 21 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 45-33 victory over Indianapolis.

    Singletary once again worked well behind rookie Tyrone Tracy, who out-touched the veteran back 22-6. Singletary was mostly bottled up on his five carries, with the exception being a 13-yard rush in the second quarter. The 27-year-old has logged 25 or fewer rushing yards in each of his past six contests, giving him a low ceiling heading into next weekend's season finale versus Philadelphia.

  • Ameer Abdullah RB | IND

    Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Tops 100 rushing yards Sunday

    Abdullah carried the ball 20 times for 115 yards and caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints,

    It's the first time in his career that the 31-year-old running back has produced triple-digit rushing yards in a game. Abdullah saw 23 touches to Alexander Mattison's 11, but it's not clear if coach Antonio Pierce was simply riding the hot hand, or if Abdullah has moved to the top of the depth chart for the Raiders. Whoever sees the bulk of the backfield work in Week 18 will face a much stingier Chargers defense.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Big performance in loss

    Taylor carried the ball 32 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns and caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants.

    The star running back is having a massive finish to the season. Taylor topped 100 rushing yards for the third straight game, a stretch in which he's racked up 450 yards and five TDs on the ground while averaging 5.4 yards per carry. The Colts were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss, so the team may elect to sit veterans like Taylor in Week 18. If he does take the field though, he'll have a very favorable matchup at home against the Jaguars.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Rare miscue in loss to Vikings

    Jacobs rushed the ball 17 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers. He also lost a fumble.

    The Packers got off to a slow start offensively, and Jacobs played a key role in that by losing a fumble on the team's opening possession. He made up for the miscue later in the contest with a two-yard touchdown plunge, his 15th score of the campaign. Jacobs has now found the end zone in seven consecutive games, making him one of the most consistent fantasy performers at the position.

  • Saints' Jamaal Williams: Logs two carries Week 17

    Williams notched two carries for 12 yards and gathered in his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's 25-10 loss versus Las Vegas.

    Williams barely played even though starting running back Alvin Kamara was inactive with a groin injury for the second week in a row. Instead, Clyde Edwards-Helaire led the team with five carries for 20 yards after being elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest. This was mostly because second-year running back Kendre Miller was forced out with a concussion during the first half. No matter who's been available at running back for New Orleans this season, Williams has never served as anything more than a fringe RB2. He'll likely provide depth once again during the regular-season finale versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Jan. 5.

  • Mike Boone RB | MIA

    Panthers' Mike Boone: Logs two carries vs. Buccaneers

    Boone rushed twice for 11 yards and failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

    The Panthers signed Boone to their active roster Saturday after workhorse back Chuba Hubbard (calf) was placed on injured reserve. Boone played as Carolina's second-string running back in Sunday's loss, but that role yielded limited opportunities, as he saw just two touches. The veteran was also hindered by a poor game script, with the Panthers trailing by at least two scores from early in the second quarter through the remainder of the game. Boone is likely to play behind Raheem Blackshear as Carolina's top backup RB again in the Week 18 matchup against the Falcons, though meaningful production remains unlikely.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Dealing with quad issue

    Jones (quadriceps) recorded 12 rushes for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers. He added four receptions on five targets for an additional 30 yards.

    Despite playing with a lead for the entire game, the Vikings remained aggressive on offense by taking to the air 43 times. That was enough to mute Jones' volume to some degree, an issue compounded by the fact that he didn't play at all in the fourth quarter due to a quad injury he suffered earlier in the game, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Jones' status will be important to monitor ahead of a Week 18 showdown with the Lions that will decide the NFC North as well as the top seed in the NFC.

  • D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE

    Browns' D'Onta Foreman: Larger role in Week 17

    Foreman rushed 13 times for 49 yards and did not bring in either of his targets in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

    Foreman saw his highest carry total since Week 2 against Jacksonville, resulting in his highest rushing total of the campaign. Jerome Ford (ankle) was afforded the start Sunday, but Foreman saw more work in the second half as Ford hurt his ankle in the second quarter and logged just one snap after halftime. Foreman could be a sneaky DFS play in the event Ford's injury results in a starting bid for Foreman against the Ravens next Sunday.
