  • Nick Chubb RB | HOU

    Texans' Nick Chubb: Gains 42 yards Sunday

    Chubb (ribs) took six carries for 33 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    Chubb returned from a one-game absence in time to help fill in for injured starter Woody Marks (ankle), though it was Jawhar Jordan -- signed from the practice squad earlier this week -- who led the Texans in backfield touches (20) and total production (70 yards) Sunday. Chubb has been a shell of his former self while attempting to fill the void left by Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) in Houston's backfield this season, producing a 121-505-3 rushing line across 15 active games. With Marks potentially returning in Week 17, Chubb's value is limited to deep formats for Saturday's tilt against the Chargers.

  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ATL

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Ties season high in carries Sunday

    Allgeier rushed 16 times for 79 yards while losing six yards on his only reception in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.

    Allgeier surprisingly tied starter Bijan Robinson in carries a week after being limited to two touches against the Buccaneers. That's where the comparisons end, as the latter went off for 92 yards and a score as a receiver out of the backfield compared to the backup's negative production in that area Sunday. Allgeier's 16 carries tied his personal high this season, a total he reached twice back in Weeks 2 and 4. Allgeier's 126-475-8 rushing line across 15 games highlights his touchdown dependency while serving as Atlanta's change-of-pace back. The talented backup provides just enough upside to warrant flex consideration against the Rams next Monday.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Takes over for injured starter

    Stevenson rushed eight times for 51 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over Baltimore.

    Rookie starter TreVeyon Henderson was ruled out at halftime after suffering a concussion in the first half. Stevenson played a large part in the Patriots erasing an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter when he scampered for a 21-yard touchdown with less than three minutes remaining in the contest. The veteran backup is no stranger to starting for New England, so he would immediately become a hot waiver add if Henderson is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for next Sunday's tilt against the Jets.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Two scores in loss

    Henry rushed the ball 18 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He also lost a fumble.

    Henry continued his momentum of strong performances, as he matched his season high of three rushes of at least 20 yards. His two touchdowns came from 21 and two yards away, marking his fourth multi-score effort of the campaign. The only shortcoming of Henry's performance came late in the first quarter when he lost a fumble, which ultimately led to a long touchdown drive for the Patriots. As has typically been the case in his career, Henry has imposed his will late in the season, as he now has over 90 rushing yards in three straight games.

  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Leading rusher on 15 attempts

    Jordan handled 15 carries for 53 yards while catching all five of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    Nick Chubb (6-33-0) got the start in place of Woody Marks (ankle) on Sunday, but it was Jordan who paced the Texans' backfield in touches and production in the win. Jordan was signed from the practice squad early in the week to help address the team's running-back situation. The 2024 sixth-round pick averaged under four yards per carry and failed to hit pay dirt, resulting in a pedestrian fantasy score. Marks was able to get in a limited practice before ultimately being ruled out for Week 16, so Jordan's run of relevance may last just one game if the former is able to suit up against the Chargers on Saturday.

  • Travis Etienne RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Another receiving score

    Etienne rushed the ball 16 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos. He added four receptions on five targets for 16 yards and a touchdown.

    Etienne wasn't particularly efficient in his capacity as a rusher or a receiver, but he still managed a solid performance on 20 total touches while benefiting from the absence of Bhayshul Tuten (finger). His longest gain on the ground nearly resulted in a touchdown, as he went for 24 yards midway through the second quarter before being tackled at the three-yard line. Etienne then managed to reach the end zone on Jacksonville's second possession of the second half, catching a short pass before making a defender miss in the open field for a 10-yard trip to the end zone. Etienne has been inefficient as a runner this season, but he has 10 total touchdowns across his last seven games to remain a very consistent fantasy contributor.

  • Michael Carter RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Carter: Gains 65 yards as starter Sunday

    Carter rushed 11 times for 65 yards while failing to collect either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-19 loss to Atlanta.

    Carter was officially named the starter after Bam Knight (ankle) was placed on injured reserve following the latter's early exit in last week's loss to Houston. The 26-year-old Carter logged seven fewer touches in Sunday's start than he did taking over mid-game for the starter in Week 15. The North Carolina product still commanded the lion's share of backfield carries, finishing well ahead of backups Corey Kiner (6-32-0) and Emari Demercado (5-30-0). Carter should continuing seeing enough volume as Arizona's fill-in starter to warrant fantasy consideration for Saturday's road tilt against the Bengals.

  • Trevor Etienne RB | CAR

    Panthers' Trevor Etienne: Limited to special teams Sunday

    Etienne received no offensive touches but tallied 33 punt-return yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    The 21-year-old has gone without an offensive touch in five of the Panthers' last seven games, suggesting he's firmly behind both Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard in the team's backfield. Etienne has now tallied 642 kick-return yards and 160 punt-return yards while appearing in all 15 of Carolina's contests this season. He's expected to remain the team's top return man in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Kareem Hunt RB | KC

    Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Runs for two yards in loss

    Hunt rushed three times for two yards in the Chiefs' 26-9 loss to the Titans on Sunday. One of his runs resulted in a safety.

    In their first game without Patrick Mahomes (knee), the Chiefs embarrassingly ran just 43 offensive plays against the now 3-12 Titans. Along the way, Gardner Minshew also suffered a knee injury, leading to QB3 Chris Oladokun playing a majority of the game for Kansas City. At this point, the Chiefs are just playing out the string in a lost season, giving Hunt minimal fantasy appeal for Christmas Day against the Broncos.

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Ruled out against Ravens

    Henderson (head) won't return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Henderson was ruled out at halftime after getting injured in the second quarter. Rhamondre Stevenson will lead New England's backfield in the second half, with D'Ernest Johnson available in a depth role. Henderson's next chance to take the field will come in Week 17 against the Jets.
