  • Commanders' Brian Robinson: Wait-and-see mode with ankle

    Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Robinson (ankle) will be a "wait-and-see scenario" ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Robinson initially injured his ankle early in this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He was cleared to return by the medical staff, but Robinson aggravated the ankle in the second half and wasn't able to get back in the game. Robinson ended up playing just 12 offensive snaps all day. He's battled a multitude of injuries since the calendar flipped to October. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) also banged up, the Commanders again may have to turn to Jeremy McNichols in Week 13.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Handles No. 2 role in Week 12 win

    Wright had seven carries for 28 yards during Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots. He failed to secure his only target.

    Wright seems to have secured the No. 2 role in Miami's backfield behind De'Von Achane, who rushed 10 times for 32 yards but scored twice through the air while securing three of four targets for 24 yards. Veteran Raheem Mostert, meanwhile, had just two carries for five yards. Wright has been impressive in limited opportunities, but Achane's extreme efficiency in scoring situations means the Dolphins' remaining backfield opportunities aren't especially high-value for fantasy purposes. Wright will look to continue building momentum Thursday versus the Packers.

  • Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Barely involved in divisional win

    Mostert rushed twice for five yards during Sunday's 34-15 win over New England. He also secured his only target for minus-3 yards.

    Mostert now has logged four consecutive games with three or fewer carries. Meanwhile, rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright logged four carries for 25 yards behind starter De'Von Achane, who had 10 carries for 32 yards and scored twice through the air while securing three of four targets for 24 yards. The 32-year-old veteran is a definitive footnote in Miami's offensive scheme, so he carries minimal fantasy value heading into a road matchup against the Packers on Thanksgiving.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Just one carry in defeat

    Corum rushed once for five yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Corum's single touch on offense was the rookie's lowest usage since Week 9 against the Seahawks. The biggest story for Corum's fantasy managers was Kyren Williams fumbling twice, with one of those recovered by the Eagles. The two fumbles brought Williams' total to five in the last seven games, and the recurring ball security issues might give Corum a chance to gain more of a role in the backfield if they continue. A susceptible Saints defense is up next in Week 13.

  • Broncos' Audric Estime: Three carries in Week 12

    Estime rushed three times for 15 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.

    Just two weeks after seemingly taking over as the Broncos' No. 1 running back, Estime has seen his usage diminish drastically since Week 10, now operating as Denver's third option out of the backfield. The rookie played just five of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps, behind both Javonte Williams (38) and Jaleel McLaughlin (20). His eight-percent snap share Sunday was a precipitous drop from the last two contests in which Estime handled snap shares of 45 percent and 22 percent in Weeks 10 and 11, respectively. Fantasy managers hoping to have found a late-season may need to come to terms with the fact that head coach Sean Payton will use the hot-hand approach with Denver's running back committee, limiting the 21-year-old Estime's weekly upside. Though he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups, the Notre Dame product will have his next chance to get more involved in the offense when the Broncos host the Browns in Week 13.

  • Patriots' Antonio Gibson: Six carries versus Miami

    Gibson, who logged 30 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, carried six times for 31 yards and caught one of his two targets for 14 yards in the contest.

    Meanwhile, starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson was on the field for 29 snaps Sunday, while carrying eight times for 13 yards and not catching either of his two targets. While we don't expect Gibson to overtake Stevenson in the Patriots' backfield pecking order any time soon, Gibson's workload this coming weekend against the Colts will be worth monitoring to see if the uptick in his RB snap share extends beyond Week 12, when Stevenson struggled to get going in a game in which Miami led by a 31-0 score by the end of the third quarter.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Colts' Trey Sermon: Limited opportunity in loss

    Sermon saw just two snaps on offense and five on special teams in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

    Sermon rarely saw the field as Jonathan Taylor played 96 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, leaving little to no opportunities for the rest of the team's backfield. It was the first time since Week 1 that Sermon didn't get at least a target or carry.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Not involved on offense Sunday

    Goodson returned a kickoff for 25 yards while playing all 14 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

    In a game in which Indianapolis logged just 49 offensive snaps, the Colts didn't need to turn to Goodson to spell Jonathan Taylor or Trey Sermon, who remain ahead of him on the depth chart at running back. Barring either Taylor or Sermon missing time to injury, Goodson -- who has logged no carries and four targets over the Colts' last five contests -- doesn't look as though he'll have a role on offense in the final six weeks of the season.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: No snaps on offense

    Goodson played 14 snaps on special teams and had 25 return yards and a tackle in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

    Goodson didn't see the field on offense for the first time this season, but he did have an impact on special teams. He'll likely need an injury in the backfield to see any noticeable work on offense.

  • Dylan Laube RB | LV

    Raiders' Dylan Laube: Sticks to special teams Sunday

    Laube did not see the field on offense in the Raiders' 29-19 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, but he did return a kickoff for 59 yards.

    Laube's complete lack of involvement on offense came as a bit of a surprise with both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) sidelined, but Sincere McCormick worked as Ameer Abdullah's backup instead. Playing time figures to remain sparse for Laube against Kansas City in Week 13, especially if Mattison or White are ready to return.
