Mixon rushed 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of six targets for 18 yards in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Mixon managed to get over the 100-yard mark on the ground for the seventh time this season on his final carry of the day coming out of the two-minute warning, an eight-yard run that fittingly sealed the hard-fought win for Houston. The veteran back managed his 11th rushing touchdown of the campaign on a seven-yard run just before the halfway point of the third quarter, and he tied his second-highest reception total of the season as well. Mixon will head into a Week 14 bye just 113 rushing yards short of his fifth career 1,000-yard campaign, a milestone he'll look to hit at the expense of the Dolphins in a Week 15 home matchup on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Vidal registered just four carries for 20 yards in the 17-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

It's hard to get very excited about this performance given the expectation was Vidal would see a substantial uptick in work due to J.K. Dobbins (knee) being placed on injured reserve, but to add some perspective, the Falcons turned the ball over four times and sported a nearly 12-minute advantage in the time-of-possession battle. Vidal's four touches were fewer than Gus Edwards' seven (including one reception for one yard), but neither back really got rolling in a disjointed overall offensive performance by the Chargers. Hassan Haskins, who played ahead of Vidal in the Week 12 loss, had just one carry in which he fumbled the ball, so at the very least the rookie Vidal should be considered the No. 2 back moving forward.

Edwards tallied six carries for 32 yards and also caught his lone reception for one yard in the 17-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

At least for one week, Edwards narrowly held the lead in total touches over rookie Kimani Vidal, who registered just four carries for 20 yards in a weird game script that saw the Chargers trail the time-of-possession battle by nearly 12 minutes. Obviously neither running back had an exceptional fantasy day, but it's worth noting Hassan Haskins was the clear third back as predicted while fumbling on his lone carry of the day. Edwards, Vidal and company won't have it much easier next week against a tough Chiefs defense in Kansas City.

Jones carried the ball only five times for 22 yards and caught three of four targets for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

Two early fumbles, one of which Arizona recovered, parked Jones on the bench for much of the first half, and by the time he checked back into the huddle, Minnesota was staring at a big deficit. To his credit, Jones played a big role in the comeback, both with his pass protection and then by hauling in the game-winning score with just 1:13 left on the clock. Jones has put the ball on the carpet four times in the last three games though, an issue he will need to clean up if he doesn't want to lose more touches and snaps to Cam Akers and Ty Chandler in Week 14 against the Falcons.

Robinson rushed 26 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and brought in all six targets for 33 yards in the Falcons' 17-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Robinson logged a career-high carry total while eclipsing the 100-yard mark on the ground for the third time this season, including the second time in the last three games. Robinson added his seventh rushing touchdown of the campaign on a two-yard run to open the scoring on the afternoon. Robinson also finished second on the Falcons in receptions, making it a highly productive outing in every sense. The second-year star next takes aim at a tough Vikings defense on the road in a Week 14 matchup.

Conner carried the ball 17 times for 68 yards and caught three of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Vikings.

While he wound up topping 80 scrimmage yards for the eighth time in 12 games this season, Conner had little success early against a tough Minnesota run defense, and his first gain of 10 or more yards didn't come until late in the third quarter. The veteran RB still went over 1,000 scrimmage yards for the season in Sunday's game, a mark he's reached in all four of his campaign with the Cardinals. Conner has topped 100 combined yards in four straight home games, a streak he'll look to continue in Week 14 against the Seahawks.

Ali is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

With Keaton Mitchell a healthy scratch, Ali is back in the mix Sunday to provide backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Ali figures to make most of his impact in Week 13 as a special-teamer.

Mims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

The running back bumps down to third on the depth chart behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams, with the latter returning from a groin injury for his first game since Week 8. Mims only saw 29 combined offensive snaps in the three games that Williams missed.

Mitchell is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Mitchell, who didn't log any snaps on offense in Week 12, will be the odd man out in the Baltimore backfield Sunday. In his absence, Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali are the team's available running backs versus Philadelphia.

Williams (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams.

After following an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, Williams has put a groin injury behind him and is in the clear for his first game action since Week 8. Considering Alvin Kamara remains the Saints' workhorse back, Williams likely will be relegated to a complementary role, which amounted to 16 touches for 55 yards from scrimmage in his six appearances prior to his recent three-game absence.
