Williams rushed 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Jets.

Williams powered in his 15th total touchdown of the season on a two-yard run in the second quarter, matching his touchdown total from last season. He provided the majority of the Rams' offensive production as Matthew Stafford threw for only 110 yards in frigid conditions at MetLife Stadium. Williams has surpassed 100 rushing yards in three of his last four games after reaching that threshold only once through Week 12. The star running back will look to continue his late-season surge against the Cardinals in Week 17.

Tracy carried the ball seven times for 26 yards and caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons.

He couldn't get much going on the ground, but Tracy was on the other end of Drew Lock's first TD pass of the season, a two-yard toss early in the second quarter that saw the rookie RB make a leaping catch at the back of the end zone and get both feet down in bounds. Lock was otherwise a disaster, throwing two pick-sixes among his three giveaways, and the Giants' offense couldn't get anything else going. Tracy remains firmly atop the backfield depth chart for New York heading into a Week 17 clash with Indianapolis, but what fantasy upside he offers will likely continue to come through the air.

Hubbard took 25 carries for 152 yards and two touchdowns while chipping in four receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win over Arizona.

Hubbard was the hero for Carolina in Sunday's unlikely victory when he ripped off a pair of huge runs on consecutive plays in overtime that culminated in the game-winning score. The breakout fantasy star was coming off of his worst performance since Week 1 (10-32-0 in Week 15), so Sunday's outburst was reassuring for fantasy managers still vying for a championship this season. Hubbard and the Panthers can continue playing the role of spoiler against the Buccaneers next Sunday after successfully knocking the Cardinals out of playoff contention.

Taylor rushed 29 times for 218 yards and three touchdowns in the Colts' 38-30 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Coming off a game during which he inadvertently squandered a touchdown by releasing the ball before he broke the plane of the goal line, Taylor appeared to be on a quest for atonement Sunday. The talented back ripped off the first of his three touchdowns on a 65-yard breakaway run in the second quarter, and he subsequently struck from 70 yards on the first play of the second half before adding a one-yard scoring run later in the third quarter for the trifecta. Taylor's massive yardage total was the second highest of his career, bested only by his 253-yard franchise-record performance in Week 17 of his rookie 2020 campaign. Taylor has now eclipsed the century mark on six occasions this season heading into a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Giants.

Hill (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Sunday's practice estimate.

Baltimore faced Pittsburgh on Saturday, with the team holding a late-afternoon walkthrough one day later. Given that Hill sustained a concussion versus the Steelers, his status for Wednesday's game against the Texans is cloudy on a short week. If Hill is sidelined for the contest, Rasheen Ali and Keaton Mitchell would be in line to see complementary snaps behind top back Derrick Henry.

Gibbs rushed 23 times for 109 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears.

Gibbs got all the touches he could handle in the first game since fellow Lions running back David Montgomery suffered a regular-season-ending knee injury, racking up 119 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries and three catches in the first half alone. After being tackled at the 1-yard line on three consecutive runs, Gibbs finally got across the goal line on his fourth try to put the Lions up 10-0 in the first quarter. He wound up exceeding his previous season high of 24 touches by three en route to 154 scrimmage yards despite the Lions incorporating backups Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki more frequently while nursing a double-digit lead the entire second half. Gibbs is poised for another heavy workload in Week 17 against the 49ers, who have been eliminated from playoff contention.

Conner suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game at Carolina, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Conner went in the sideline tent in the third quarter, and after some time he was deemed questionable to return. At the time of his exit, he was putting together a big performance, turning 19 touches into 166 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. With Emari Demercado (back) on injured reserve and Trey Benson (ankle) inactive, DeeJay Dallas and Michael Carter are the healthy running backs on Arizona's active roster.

Shipley left Sunday's Week 16 matchup against Washington to be evaluated for a possible concussion, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Shipley headed to the locker room in the first quarter and was deemed questionable to return. He hadn't gotten any touches on offense prior to exiting. Shipley has played only one offensive snap over the past five weeks while contributing as a core special-teamer.

Homer (hamstring) is listed as inactive for Sunday's contest against the Lions.

No surprise here, as Homer was given a doubtful designation after getting injured at Friday's practice. His absence figures to primarily be felt on special teams.

Montgomery plans to avoid surgery to address the MCL sprain in his right knee and will rehab the injury with the goal of returning for the divisional round of the playoffs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After Montgomery emerged from this past Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills with the knee injury, head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that the running back would require season-ending surgery. However, after Montgomery received three "high-level medical opinions" on his injury, per Rapoport, the consensus was that the 27-year-old would be able to avoid a procedure on the knee. Montgomery will still miss Detroit's final three games of the regular season and would also remain likely to miss the wild-card round, though that may be a moot point if the 12-2 Lions are able to secure a first-round bye in the playoffs. For whatever length of time Montgomery misses, Jahmyr Gibbs is poised to see as heightened role as Detroit's clear lead back, while Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki could see more opportunities as backups to Gibbs.
