  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Listed as DNP on Monday

    Mason (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

    Both Mason and Aaron Jones left the Vikings' first possession of Sunday's win at the Giants due to ankle injuries, and while Jones was able to return and finish out the contest, Mason was ruled out not long after his initial exit. Minnesota didn't hold practice Monday ahead of Thursday's game against the Lions, but Mason appears in danger of logging his first absence of the season.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Still dealing with neck issue

    Williams (neck) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    The Cowboys held a walkthrough Monday, so Williams' activity level is only an estimate. He also had his practice reps capped Week 16 due to his neck issue, but Williams managed to suit up versus the Chargers without any sort of injury designation. He handled nine rush attempts for 34 yards versus Los Angeles, while also securing two of three targets for nine yards. As long as he's able to remain at least limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, Williams will have a solid chance to avoid an injury designation again for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Commanders.

  • Corey Kiner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Corey Kiner: Piles up 32 rushing yards

    Kiner carried six times for 32 yards while logging nine of the Cardinals' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Kiner finished second on the team to only Michael Carter in both carries and yardage, but all of his touches were contained to one second-quarter drive that culminated in a Chad Ryland 25-yard field goal. Though Kiner was efficient with his opportunities, he still looks like he could be the third man on the running-back depth chart behind both Carter and Emari Demercado, both of whom saw more usage than Kiner in the second half of the contest.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Fares well in change-of-pace role

    Demercado carried five times for 30 yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    After playing just seven snaps on offense in last week's loss to the Texans, Demercado saw increased playing time in Week 16 with the Cardinals placing Bam Knight (ankle) on injured reserve ahead of the game. Demercado ended up playing 18 of the Cardinals' 57 offensive snaps and ripped off gains of at least five yards on four of his carries, but he still played second fiddle to Michael Carter out of the backfield. Carter (11 carries for 65 yards, zero receptions on two targets) ended up logging 30 snaps and appears poised to lead the Arizona backfield in opportunities over the final two weeks of the season.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Missed final drive due to rotation

    Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Henry's absence during the final drive of Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots was due to a planned "rotation," Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Henry had built steam by the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss, in which he logged 18 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns while also losing one fumble. Nonetheless, it was Keaton Mitchell who started the entirety of Baltimore's final drive, within which he rushed twice for four yards. On the night, Mitchell had nine carries for 13 yards. Harbaugh's statement at least confirms that Henry didn't miss the final drive due to any sort of injury, but fantasy managers would certainly prefer Henry's utilization to have spanned the final stretches of a must-win contest in which he averaged 7.1 YPC. Harbaugh noted that in retrospect he "would rather have had [Henry] starting the [final] drive." The veteran RB will look to remain impactful as the Ravens fight to stick around in the AFC playoff picture on the road against Green Bay on Saturday.

  • Kimani Vidal RB | LAC

    Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Day-to-day with neck strain

    Vidal has been diagnosed with a neck strain and is considered day-to-day, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Vidal was forced from Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys in the fourth quarter after he rushed five times for 11 yards on 21 offensive snaps. If Vidal is unable to play next Saturday against the Texans, Omarion Hampton would likely see a larger share of the backfield work, with Hassan Haskins spelling Hampton as the Chargers' RB2.

  • Andrew Beck TE | NYJ

    Jets' Andrew Beck: No touches in Week 16

    Beck didn't record a target or carry while playing five of the Jets' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    Beck recorded two touches in the Jets' Week 15 loss to the Jaguars, but he wasn't a factor in the box score in Sunday's contest and saw more playing time on special teams than on offense. For the season, the 29-year-old fullback has carried once for five yards to go with five catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on seven targets over 15 appearances.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Limited workload in loss

    Montgomery rushed four times for 14 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Montgomery played a season-low 13 snaps on offense as Detroit failed to ever get the ground game going in Week 16. The running back failed to reach the end zone for the first time since Week 12, and he now has gone six straight contests without garnering double-digit carries and back-to-back without a catch. Montgomery will look to right the ship Christmas Day versus the Vikings.

  • Rasheen Ali RB | BAL

    Ravens' Rasheen Ali: Catches two passes in loss

    Ali caught both of his targets for two yards during Sunday night's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He also returned one kickoff for 29 yards.

    The second-year pro from Marshall has become more involved in Baltimore's passing game over the last three weeks, catching six of seven targets for 45 yards and a touchdown during that span. Ali has served as one of the Ravens' top return men this season, tallying 712 kickoff-return yards over 13 appearances. He's expected to remain a depth option in Baltimore's backfield and the primary kickoff returner in the Week 17 matchup against the Packers.

  • Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ

    Jets' Khalil Herbert: Limited to special teams in Week 16

    Herbert logged all 13 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    Herbert has suited up for each of the Jets' last three games, but aside from playing a handful of snaps on offense in a blowout loss to Jacksonville in Week 15, he's been used exclusively on special teams. Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis should continue to handle nearly all of the available reps at running back in the Jets' final two games of the season.
