  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Browns' Nick Chubb: Posts 48 yards in loss

    Chubb rushed the ball 11 times for 48 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers. He did not record a reception on one target.

    Chubb was in an even split in the backfield with Jerome Ford for the entire day. While that limited his volume, Chubb did manage a 19-yard run -- his longest of the season. He's now gained between 48 and 59 yards on the ground in four of his seven games this season, though the ongoing split in the backfield will continue to limit his fantasy appeal.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Limited opportunity in loss

    Cook rushed the ball six times for 20 yards in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. He added two receptions on two targets for nine yards.

    Josh Allen was the entire Buffalo offense, as he led the team in rushing attempts and yards while also scoring a trio of times on the ground from one yard away. Allen's usage combined with a negative game script left little opportunity for Cook, who saw his fewest rushing attempts of the season. More concerning was his lack of involvement as a receiver despite Allen taking to the air 37 times. Cook has now failed to reach 50 rushing yards in four of his last seven games.

  • Saints' Jamaal Williams: Serves as RB3 in Week 14

    Williams notched three rushes for five yards and reeled in both of his targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 14-11 win versus the Giants.

    Williams saw a bit more action than when he finished with just one reception against the Rams last week. The 29-year-old running back appeared to fill a larger role in the absence of Taysom Hill (knee), who had been the team's No. 2 rusher behind Alvin Kamara this season. However, Williams still served as the Saints' No. 3 rushing threat, as second-year back Kendre Miller logged a season-high 10 carries after missing the previous four games with a hamstring issue. If Sunday's game is any indication of how the rushing responsibilities will be split going forward, then Williams would still be left with little-to-no relevance in fantasy. New Orleans will next play versus the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 15.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Struggles continue in blowout loss

    Swift (quadriceps) took 14 carries for 38 yards and caught one of two targets for two receiving yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to San Francisco.

    Swift dealt with a quadriceps injury during the practice week before ultimately being cleared for action Sunday. The 25-year-old dominated the backfield touches, but his 15 combined touches resulted in just 40 total yards. Swift has averaged well under four yards per carry in five of his last six contests with only one trip to the end zone over that span. Things won't get any easier for the Bears' offense as they prepare for a road tilt against Minnesota next Monday.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Touchdown saves day

    Harris rushed the ball 16 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.

    The Steelers had a mediocre day offensively, with nearly all of their skill-position players posting modest stat lines. Harris was no exception, as he managed only 3.3 yards per carry despite tallying a 20-yard gain for the second consecutive game. Even with the inefficiency, Harris still managed a decent fantasy performance thanks to a one-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Since Russell Wilson has taken over under center, Harris has four trips to the end zone in seven contests, though he's failed to reach 80 yards on the ground in five straight matchups.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Handles 29 carries

    Williams rushed the ball 29 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Bills. He added two receptions on two targets for 10 yards.

    Williams saw a season-high 29 rushing attempts, his first time topping 20 carries since Week 9. He wasn't very efficient, as he averaged only 3.0 yards per carry with his longest run going for 12 yards. However, volume was enough to carry Williams' fantasy performance, and he also supplemented his yardage with three- and seven-yard rushing scores. He now has a touchdown in three straight contests and has at least 80 rushing yards in three of his last four games.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Racks up 122 total yards, TD

    Conner rushed 18 times for 90 yards while catching all four of his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.

    Conner caught a two-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter on an underhand pass from Kyler Murray for the veteran running back's first receiving touchdown of the season. This was also Conner's highest rushing yardage total since Week 9, as he had only 109 yards on the ground in three games in between. Conner will look to build off this bounce-back effort in a favorable Week 15 matchup against the 3-10 Patriots.

  • 49ers' Isaac Guerendo: May have foot sprain

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears that Guerendo possibly has a foot sprain, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Guerendo exited in the fourth quarter due to a foot injury after compiling 128 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. If Guerendo joins Christian McCaffrey (knee), Jordan Mason (ankle) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) on the sidelines Thursday against the Rams, Patrick Taylor would be the next man up in a 49ers backfield that also includes Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Israel Abanikanda. A potential return timeline for Guerendo has yet to be established.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Shines in lead role Sunday

    Charbonnet rushed 22 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns while corralling all seven of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-18 win over Arizona.

    Starter Kenneth Walker (ankle/calf) was unable to suit up for Sunday's crucial NFC West battle, opening the door for Charbonnet to make his third start of the campaign. The sophomore backup wound up setting new career highs in both rushing (134) and receiving yards (59) while punching in a pair of touchdowns. Five of Charbonnet's seven touchdown rushes have come in three spot-starts for Walker this season, highlighting the major fantasy value that can be unearthed in those scenarios. Fantasy managers who missed out on Sunday's point bonanza should monitor Walker's status for Week 15 before putting in large bids for Seattle's talented backup ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Green Bay.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Sets franchise record in win

    Barkley carried the ball 20 times for 124 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers. He also ran in a two-point conversion.

    The star running back reached 100 rushing yards for the fourth straight game and the 10th time this season, in the process setting a new Eagles record with 1,623 rushing yards on the year, topping LeSean McCoy's 1,607 yards from 2013. Barkley remains on track to top 2,000 yards on the season, and Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 yards is firmly in his sights. Barkley will look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Steelers.
