  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Out-touched 18-11 by Etienne

    Bigsby rushed 11 times for 42 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.

    After out-touching Travis Etienne, 19-8, in Week 14 against the Titans, Bigsby returned to a complementary role against the Jets, finishing with 11 touches to Etienne's 18. They'll likely continue to work as a tandem in Week 16, when the Jaguars could have a more run-heavy game script than usual in a battle between bottom-feeders against the Raiders. Bigsby has just five catches all season, so he relies almost exclusively on rushing contributions while the versatile Etienne can play in all situations.

  • Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Ties season high of 85 total yards

    Etienne rushed 14 times for 65 yards while catching four of five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.

    Etienne reclaimed the lead role from Tank Bigsby, finishing with an 18-11 edge in touches after being out-touched, 19-8, by Bigsby against the Titans in Week 14. The week-to-week fluctuations limit both running backs' upside heading into an otherwise favorable Week 16 matchup against the Raiders. Etienne's 85 scrimmage yards against the Jets tied the season high he set back in Week 3 against the Bills.

  • Saints' Kendre Miller: Steps up for injured starter Sunday

    Miller notched nine rushes for 46 yards and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Commanders.

    Miller was hardly involved for most of the game but had to shoulder a bigger workload after RB1 Alvin Kamara exited with a groin injury early in the fourth quarter. The second-year backup logged eight carries and his lone target during this quarter, and he finished with a career high in rushing yards. Meanwhile, RB3 Jamaal Williams finished without a carry or a target. Kamara did not return before the end of Sunday's contest, leaving his status uncertain for next week's contest versus Green Bay on Monday, Dec. 23. Should he miss time, then Miller should be in line to step in as the feature back for New Orleans.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Thriving as receiving threat

    Hill took two carries for seven yards while bringing in all five of his targets for 61 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's blowout win over the Giants.

    Hill made an additional mark outside of fantasy matchups when he ripped off a 59-yard return on special teams. Baltimore's talented backup recorded his fourth touchdown of the season on quarterback Lamar Jackson's fifth passing touchdown of the game. Hill remains a boom-or-bust option (due to his limited usage) for those in deeper leagues as the Ravens prepare to host the Steelers on Saturday.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Tallies 76 total yards in loss

    Achane rushed 12 times for 41 yards and brought in all seven targets for 35 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also fumbled once but possession remained with Miami.

    Achane doubled up Raheem Mostert in carries and finished with his highest rushing yardage total since Week 11. While Achane failed to average even 4.0 yards per carry for the fourth straight contest, he was once again heavily involved as a receiver. He's recorded at least six catches in three straight games, but he'll aim to get back on track on the ground in a Week 16 home matchup against a 49ers defense that's had trouble against the run on occasion.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Texans' Joe Mixon: Held in check during win

    Mixon rushed 12 times for 23 yards and brought in five of six targets for 33 yards in the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Mixon was held to his second-lowest rushing yardage total of the season -- both of which have come in the last three games -- but was at least partly able to make up for the downturn with solid output in the passing game. He appeared to get shaken up on a first-half play but never missed any time, and he was able to tie a season high in receptions with his work as a receiver. Mixon next takes aim at the Chiefs' solid defense in a Week 16 Saturday afternoon road battle.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Rushing and receiving TD in Week 15

    Brown rushed 25 times for 97 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans.

    Brown scored his fourth receiving touchdown of the season on a six-yard catch in the first quarter and added his seventh rushing touchdown on a five-yard run with 1:09 remaining in the fourth quarter. The 2023 third-round pick also came just three yards shy of his second career 100-yard rushing performance. Brown has excelled in the lead role with seven total touchdowns in his last seven games, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Browns.

  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Gains 87 total yards Sunday

    Robinson had 21 carries for 65 yards while corralling all three of his targets for 22 receiving yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over New Orleans.

    Robinson struggled as a runner Sunday, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry despite tying his season high in carries (21). The 25-year-old helped offset his inefficient rushing day with the second-highest yardage total as a receiver through 11 active games this year. Robinson will continue to lead Washington's backfield as the team prepares to host Philadelphia next Sunday.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Scores game-winning TD in return

    Hall (knee) rushed nine times for 30 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.

    Hall wasn't efficient in his return after a one-game absence due to a knee injury, and he ceded a combined seven carries to Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen, the latter of whom exited due to a back injury. The lead back salvaged his fantasy stat line with a one-yard rushing touchdown, which broke a 25-25 tie with 1:05 left in the fourth quarter. If Hall avoids any setbacks in practice, he'll likely get a larger workload in Week 16 against the Rams.

  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Sustains broken foot

    Head coach Kevin Stefanski relayed that Chubb broke his foot during Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    With Chubb presumably set to miss time down the stretch, Jerome Ford is poised to see an increased role in the Browns' backfield going forward. Additionally, in the wake of Chubb's injury, D'Onta Foreman figures to re-enter the team's backfield mix, with Pierre Strong also available to handle change-of-pace snaps.
