Hunter Luepke RB | DAL
Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: Done for night
Luepke (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Luepke suffered a concussion during Sunday Night Football, bringing his night to a premature end. The Cowboys will have to operate without a fullback for the remainder of the game. He saw a season-high five touches prior to being ruled out, turning the volume into 30 scrimmage yards.

Javonte Williams RB | DAL
Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Returns to SNF after halftime
Williams (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Williams is back in the game after halftime. He didn't play in the second quarter after being deemed questionable to return due to a shoulder injury in the first quarter. Malik Davis and Hunter Luepke were Dallas' backfield options during Williams' absence, but Luepke won't return due to a concussion.

Tony Pollard RB | TEN
Titans' Tony Pollard: Another solid showing
Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers. He added one reception on two targets for eight yards.
Pollard has struggled for most of the season, but he managed his second consecutive 100-yard performance on the ground in Sunday's loss. He recorded two rushes of at least 20 yards, and he also capped off a scoring drive late in the game with a six-yard plunge into the end zone. After totaling only two scores in his first 12 matchups of the campaign, Pollard has three combined across his last two contests.

Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET
Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Muted in loss to Rams
Gibbs rushed 13 times for 38 yards while catching four of seven targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.
Gibbs was shut down by the Rams' ninth-ranked rush defense Sunday, resulting in a rare dud from the fantasy stud. Backfield mate David Montgomery (7-32-1) cashed in Detroit's lone rushing score in the loss, adding salt to the wounds of Gibbs' fantasy managers in Week 15. It was the third time this season that Gibbs was held to under 60 yards from scrimmage with no trips to the end zone. That said, he has still generated over 1,500 combined yards and 16 total touchdowns across 14 appearances in 2025. Look for Gibbs to get back on track in a home matchup against the Steelers next Sunday.

Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Davis: First TD of 2025 among nine carries
Davis rushed nine times for 58 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Breece Hall (12 carries for 23 yards) played below his usual standards, allowing Davis to take on a larger role. Davis set a season high for carries and made the most of his added opportunities, with a 24-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter marking the backup running back's first score of the season. Hall will remain the Jets' lead back if healthy heading into a Week 16 road game against the Saints.

Evan Hull RB | NO
Saints' Evan Hull: Four touches as fellow RB gets hurt
Hull rushed four times for 12 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.
Hull and Audric Estime were the only options remaining at running back after Devin Neal (hamstring) exited in the second quarter. Estime finished with 50 scrimmage yards on three carries and three targets. Hull and Estime would likely share backfield work in Week 16 against the Jets if the Saints don't get Neal or Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) back.

Audric Estime RB | NO
Saints' Audric Estime: Splits with Hull after Neal injury
Estime rushed three times for 11 yards and caught all three of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.
Estime and Evan Hull (four carries for 12 yards, no targets) took on larger roles after Devin Neal (hamstring) exited in the second quarter. If neither Neal nor Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) return in Week 16 against the Jets, Estime and Hull would be in line for expanded roles. Estime had only three carries all season coming into Sunday's win.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Extends TD streak to four games
McCaffrey (back) took 22 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown while grabbing his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-24 win over Tennessee.
McCaffrey battled an illness and a minor back injury in order to suit up for Sunday's contest, and he looked no worse for wear in the win. The 29-year-old punched in his ninth rushing touchdown of the campaign while extending his scoring streak to four games. CMC was used sporadically as a receiver (one target) for the first time this season after entering the contest with averages of 6.5 receptions on 8.2 targets. Assuming his back injury didn't flare up Sunday, fantasy managers can expect McCaffrey to spearhead San Francisco's offense on the road against Indianapolis on Monday Night Football in Week 16.

Javonte Williams RB | DAL
Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Hurts shoulder after early TD
Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Williams remained on the sideline without his helmet after being examined by trainers, per Archer. Prior to getting injured in the first quarter, Williams rushed six times for 13 yards and a touchdown. Malik Davis is set to lead Dallas' backfield while Williams is unavailable.

Rasheen Ali RB | BAL
Ravens' Rasheen Ali: Reaches end zone in victory
Ali caught both of his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown while adding a 32-yard kickoff return in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.
Ali finished second on the team in both catches and receiving yards, most notably turning a short reception into a 30-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The running back appears to have carved out a solid role for himself in the passing game, reeling in four of five targets for 43 yards and a score over the last two contests. Ali remains behind Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell on the depth chart, but he may garner more opportunities moving forward.
