White took 15 carries for 64 yards and lost a fumble while adding two receptions for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Chargers.

Bucky Irving (back/hip) wound up suiting up after getting injured last week against Las Vegas, leading to an even split in carries between Tampa Bay's tailbacks. White scored the backfield's lone touchdown as a receiver while Irving stole the show with 117 rushing yards with his 15 totes. The latter is the preferred fantasy option in this timeshare, but White retains deep-league value for next Sunday's tilt at Dallas.

Stevenson ran the ball 13 times for 69 yards and caught his lone target for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to Arizona.

Stevenson spearheaded the Patriots' rushing attack Sunday, grinding out 85 total yards for fantasy mangers in yet another loss. The Oklahoma product received double-digit carries for sixth time over his last seven appearances while backup Antonio Gibson chipped in seven rushing attempts for 33 yards. Stevenson has quietly posted a decent fantasy campaign (193-740-6) despite being a north-south runner on an 11-loss team. Things won't get any easier for Stevenson and the Patriots as the team heads back to the east coast to face the Bills next Sunday.

Irving (back/hip) rushed 15 times for 117 yards while losing two yards on a pair of receptions in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Chargers.

Irving was truly a game-time decision after suffering injuries to his back and hip in last week's win over the Raiders. The explosive rookie was seen stretching his affected areas on the field leading up to Sunday's kickoff, but he looked crisp in action once play commenced. It was Irving's second 100-yard performance over his last three games, bringing the rookie up to 852 rushing yards on the year. Co-starter Rachaad White also saw 15 carries -- albeit with far less efficiency -- and brought in one of Baker Mayfield's four touchdown passes. Now healthy, Irving has a shot at increasing his national presence in a plus matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

Montgomery rushed the ball five times for four yards in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. He added four receptions on four targets for 31 yards.

The Lions fell behind quickly in the contest and attempted only 15 rushes as a result. That left Montgomery largely uninvolved, though he did top 30 receiving yards for the fourth straight game. A Week 16 matchup against the Bears should allow a more balanced offensive game plan for the Lions, with Montgomery returning to a more typical level of involvement.

Gibbs rushed the ball eight times for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. He added five receptions on seven targets for 83 yards and an additional score.

The Lions attempted only 15 rushes in the game, as they were forced into a pass-heavy offensive scheme while chasing points. That led to a modest day on the ground for Gibbs, though he did punch in a one-yard rushing score midway through the fourth quarter. He also shone as a pass-catcher, with all five of his receptions going for gains of at least 10 yards, highlighted by a 12-yard touchdown grab early in the final quarter. All told, it was Gibbs' second consecutive multi-touchdown performance and the eighth time he's topped 100 yards from scrimmage for the season.

Hunt rushed 13 times for 45 yards and secured one of two targets for four yards in the Chiefs' 21-7 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Hunt co-led the Chiefs in carries, tying backfield mate Isiah Pacheco in that category while drawing one more target than the latter. It was an interesting development following the Week 15 division of labor between the two, which saw Pacheco outpace Hunt in rush attempts by a 14-5 margin. Whether it's a one-week outlier or indicative of a stickier trend remains to be seen, but Hunt did outgain Pacheco, who was making only his third appearance since returning from an extended stay on IR due to fractured fibula, by 13 rushing yards.

Singletary rushed eight times for 25 yards and secured all three targets for 16 yards in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Singletary tied his highest carry total since Week 4, the last game in which he was still considered the lead back before Tyrone Tracy usurped him for the role. Singletary logged only two fewer carries than his backfield mate Sunday, and his two-yard rushing touchdown late in the first half was his fourth of the campaign. The veteran back should retain a solid complementary role at minimum in a Week 16 road matchup against the vulnerable Falcons defense.

Mostert rushed six times for eight yards and brought in all three targets for 13 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Mostert made his return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury, and he finished with his third single-digit rushing yardage total in the last four games. Mostert's reception total was a new season high, yet it's clear he's a distant second fiddle, at best, to De'Von Achane in Miami's unproductive ground attack barring an injury to the latter.

Williams rushed six times for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts.

Williams continued his late-season slump, which has seen him exceed 25 total yards only once in his last five games. Jaleel McLaughlin led Denver's running backs with seven carries for 21 yards prior to exiting due to a quadriceps injury, and quarterback Bo Nix finished as the team's leading rusher with eight rushing attempts for 23 yards. There could be more opportunities available for Williams if McLaughlin's unable to suit up against the Chargers on Thursday, though rookie Audric Estime could also see more touches.

Williams had zero carries during Sunday's 20-19 loss versus the Commanders.

Williams did not record any statistics outside of two kickoff returns on which he netted 57 yards. The veteran running back mostly fell out of the rushing rotation when second-year back Kendre Miller returned to action last week. This remained the case Sunday even after RB1 Alvin Kamara exited with a groin injury and did not return during the fourth quarter. Instead, Miller carried the rushing workload with eight of his nine attempts coming in the fourth quarter. The Saints will next play on the road at Green Bay on Monday, Dec. 23. Should Kamara remain out, it appears likely that Miller will be the feature back for New Orleans while Williams serves as the primary backup.
