  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Two TDs in losing effort

    Jacobs rushed the ball 12 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown.

    Jacobs' status for this matchup looked to be in doubt for much of the week, as he didn't take the practice field until Friday due to a knee injury. However, he popped for several big plays against the Broncos, including a 40-yard rushing touchdown and an impressive 14-yard score on a contested catch in the corner of the end zone. After being reliant upon touchdowns and volume for long stretches early in the season, Jacobs has recorded a gain of at least 20 yards on the ground in three straight contests. He also has at least 70 rushing yards in five of his last six games.

  • Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Eight totes in victory

    Mitchell rushed the ball eight times for 66 yards while failing to reel in his only target in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.

    Mitchell was able to garner a season-high eight totes, finishing second on the team in rushing yards behind Derrick Henry (100) while averaging an impressive 8.3 yards per carry. The running back has now combined to produce 142 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries over the last two games, and he'll look to keep it up in Week 16 against the Patriots.

  • Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Grinds for over 100 yards in loss

    Taylor rushed 25 times for 87 yards while bringing in three of four targets for 14 receiving yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Seattle.

    Since 44-year-old Philip Rivers wasn't able to be a downfield threat in his first start since 2021, he wasn't able to take the pressure off Taylor and Indianapolis' ground game Sunday. Once the Seahawks realized this, the defense was consistently stacking the box against the Colts' top weapon on offense, resulting in a pedestrian mark of 3.5 yards per carry. Taylor suffered a similar fate against Jacksonville in Week 14 after Daniel Jones (Achilles) left the contest, so it may be tough sledding for the superstar running back going forward without the threat of a deep passing attack. The 26-year-old Taylor will receive a heavy workload to help offset the recent drop in efficiency, and a soft matchup against the 49ers' defense next Monday boosts his prospects for Week 16.

  • Ty Johnson RB | BUF

    Bills' Ty Johnson: Gets seven touches in Week 15 win

    Johnson turned four carries into 13 yards and caught three passes on as many targets for 15 yards during the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Johnson iced the game for the Bills with a two-yard rush late in the fourth quarter, which was enough to pick up the first down and seal the win. His seven touches were a season high, and while he worked ahead of Ray Davis (one catch on as many targets for 13 yards, along with no carries), it was James Cook who predictably served as the bell-cow running back in Sunday's win. Johnson will continue to operate as a change-of-pace back when spelling Cook, so the former doesn't carry much fantasy appeal into the Bills' Week 16 tilt against the Browns on Sunday, Dec. 21.

  • Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Shut down by Bears

    Judkins rushed the ball 12 times for 21 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears. He added three receptions on four targets for minus-4 yards.

    Despite the muted number of rushing attempts, Judkins continued to lead the Browns' backfield. However, he found running room scarce, with his longest gain of the day going for only four yards. Judkins has now been held below 50 rushing yards in three of his last four games, all of which have been with Shedeur Sanders under center.
