  • Jawhar Jordan RB | HOU

    Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Back with practice squad

    Jordan reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.

    Jordan was elevated for Week 15 and made his NFL debut in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. Though he wasn't expected to take on a prominent role Sunday, Jordan ended up seeing ample work with Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest and with Woody Marks missing the entire second half with an ankle injury. Jordan turned 15 carries into 101 yards while reeling in both of his targets for 17 yards in the team's win. He notably played 28 of the team's 67 offensive snaps, seven more than backup Dare Ogunbowale (21). If both Chubb and Marks are sidelined Week 16, Jordan will likely operate as the team's lead option on the ground this coming Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Pierre Strong: Returns to practice squad

    Strong reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Strong was brought up to the Packers' active roster Saturday to give the team additional depth in the backfield. However, he ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's loss to the Broncos after Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) were cleared to play. Strong hasn't played a single regular-season snap despite being elevated from the practice squad three times, and he won't be allowed to play for Green Bay for the rest of 2025 unless he's signed to the active roster.

  • Brittain Brown RB | CHI

    Brittain Brown: Reverts to practice squad

    Brown reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    With Travis Homer (ankle) inactive for Week 15 against Cleveland, Brown was called up as the Bears' RB3 behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. Brown ended up playing just one offensive snap and six more on special teams, recording one tackle.

  • Tyjae Spears RB | TEN

    Titans' Tyjae Spears: Only five touches

    Spears rushed the ball three times for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers. He added two receptions (on two targets) for two yards.

    Spears was on the field for only 20 offensive snaps, his lowest mark since his season debut in Week 5. His longest gain went for 20 yards and came during garbage time in the blowout loss. Spears has been a peripheral option in the Tennessee backfield, and the Titans have shown no signs of shifting work away from Tony Pollard.

  • Cody Schrader RB | DEN

    Broncos' Cody Schrader: Claimed by Denver

    Schrader was claimed off waivers by the Broncos on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

    Schrader was waived by the Texans on Saturday, and he has now found a new home in Denver after just two days. The running back last played in Week 1 with the Rams, failing to log any stats while playing four snaps on special teams. Schrader will provide the Broncos with an additional depth option behind RJ Harvey in the backfield.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Suiting up Monday

    Warren (illness) is listed as active Monday against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Pittsburgh added Warren to its injury report Monday as questionable for Week 15 action due to an illness, but it won't stop him from being available to the team's ground game. He's received double-digit touches in every contest this season en route to averaging 15.8 touches for 77.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring six total TDs in 12 appearances. Having said that, if Warren isn't 100 percent healthy, he could cede some of those reps to Kenneth Gainwell and even Kaleb Johnson.

  • Bhayshul Tuten RB | JAC

    Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: May need finger surgery

    Tuten is reportedly set to undergo surgery due to a right finger injury suffered during Sunday's win over the Jets, Garry Smits of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Tuten rushed once for seven yards and secured his only target for a 16-yard receiving touchdown during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over New York, while also compiling 93 yards as a kick returner. However, he was forced out of the game after a kick return in the third quarter due to what was initially labeled a right hand injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Tuten is expected to be back in action in time for the playoffs, but LeQuint Allen will be positioned to handle No. 2 running back duties behind Travis Etienne during Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos.

  • 49ers' Isaac Guerendo: Role remains marginalized

    Guerendo logged three snaps on special teams in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

    Guerendo remained a non-factor on offense behind Christian McCaffrey and Brian Robinson on San Francisco's running back depth chart. The 25-year-old Guerendo once returned kickoffs for the 49ers, but the team has removed him from that role completely since Week 5. Barring a string of catastrophic injuries in the backfield, Guerendo can safely be ignored during the fantasy playoffs.

  • LeQuint Allen RB | JAC

    Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Five touches in blowout win

    Allen carried four times for 11 yards, caught his lone target for five yards and returned one kickoff for 50 yards during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets.

    The rookie seventh-round pick played 18 offensive snaps, with most of his touches coming with Jacksonville leading comfortably during the fourth quarter. Allen continues to see sporadic playing time as a passing down back but has received more than two offensive touches in just two games this season.

  • 49ers' Brian Robinson: Another down game in Week 15

    Robinson rushed nine times for 21 yards and returned two kicks for 53 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

    Robinson struggled in his change-of-pace role Sunday after finishing the contest with a season-worst 2.3 YPC. The veteran backup has finished with a per-carry average below 4.0 yards in three out of his last four outings with no trips to the end zone over that span. Robinson's recent struggles and marginal role on offense make him an unsavory fantasy option against the Colts in Week 16.
