  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Three touches in loss to Houston

    Demercado carried the ball once for one yard and caught two of three targets for zero yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    Bam Knight (ankle) left the game early and didn't return, but Demercado still didn't see a significant increase in his workload, as Michael Carter instead stepped into the No. 1 role. Demercado was returning from a three-game absence of his own due to an ankle injury, which may have contributed to his limited touches. If Knight remains sidelined in Week 16 against the Falcons, Demercado could be a little more involved.

  • Michael Carter RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Carter: Leading rusher in Week 15 loss

    Carter carried the ball 14 times for 56 yards and caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    Bam Knight (ankle) was knocked out of the game early, leaving Carter to handle most of the work in the Arizona backfield, and he led the club in rushing yards while setting new season highs in touches, rushing yards and scrimmage yards. It's not clear if Knight will need to miss additional time, but Carter could be set for big volume once again in Week 16 against the Falcons. On the season, the fourth-year RB has 525 scrimmage yards and five total TDs in 12 games.

  • Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Serves as lead back in win

    Hampton rushed 15 times for 61 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Hampton outpaced backfield mate Kimani Vidal by three carries and 28 rushing yards while also recording a game-long 26-yard run. The rookie upped his workload by one over that of his Week 14 return from an ankle injury, but the workload between both backs may vary week to week down the stretch as head coach Jim Harbaugh looks to keep both players fresh.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Ruled out Sunday

    Neal (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    The Saints already have been without top RB Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) for what is now three straight contests, and Neal, his fill-in during that span, has been ruled out for the rest of Week 15. Neal thus will finish Sunday with seven carries for 28 yards and one touchdown and one catch (on one target) for four yards. Evan Hull and Audric Estime will be New Orleans' backfield options in the absences of Kamara and Neal.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Stymied in Week 15 loss

    Hall rushed 12 times for 23 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Hall seemed bothered by the knee injury that cut into his practice participation during the week, and he was held to 44 or fewer rushing yards for the third time in four games. Isaiah Davis was the Jets' most effective running back in this lopsided loss, with a 24-yard touchdown run among his 58 rushing yards on nine carries. Hall's inching closer to the 1,000-yard mark on the ground, as he'll need exactly 100 rushing yards to get there in Week 16 at New Orleans.

  • Devin Neal RB | NO

    Saints' Devin Neal: Hurts hamstring Sunday

    Neal sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.

    After scoring a four-yard TD run in the second quarter, Neal was seen going to the locker room before the Saints announced that he was questionable to return. He's been helming the Saints backfield during Alvin Kamara's (knee/ankle) ongoing three-game absence, and if Neal isn't able to retake the field Sunday, Evan Hull and Audric Estime will be the RBs available to the offense.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Quiet against Washington

    Singletary carried the ball five times for 13 yards and caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

    The veteran RB led the backfield with 102 scrimmage yards and a score in Week 13 prior to the Giants' bye, but Singletary took a back seat to Tyrone Tracy (97 scrimmage yards and two TDs) in this one. Sunday's showing ended a stretch of three straight games in which Singletary had produced at least 40 rushing yards while making three trips to the end zone. He'll look to rebound in Week 16 against the Vikings.

  • Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Two TDs in loss to Washington

    Tracy carried the ball 15 times for 70 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards and a second TD in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

    One game after Devin Singletary led the Giants backfield with 102 scrimmage yards and a score, it was Tracy's turn to pop, as he ran for a 12-yard TD in the second quarter and caught an 18-yard toss from Jaxson Dart in the third. The two touchdowns were Tracy's first trips to the end zone since Week 7, when he recorded his only other score of the season. He'll try to build on this performance in Week 16 against the Vikings.

  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Scores twice in blowout win

    Swift rushed the ball 18 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He added one reception on one target for minus-2 yards.

    Swift split carries with Kyle Monangai through the first half, but the Bears relied upon the former heavily to close out the game. He enjoyed a big second half as a result, picking up 56 yards on nine carries, highlighted by a 17-yard score late in the third quarter. Swift also punched in a score midway through the first quarter, giving him his first multi-touchdown performance of the season. He's now recorded at least 80 yards from scrimmage in five of his last six games.

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Two long rushing TDs not enough

    Henderson rushed 14 times for 148 yards and two touchdowns while catching two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

    Henderson extended New England's lead to 21-0 with a 52-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The Patriots sputtered in the second half, outside of a 65-yard Henderson touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Henderson has broken out for 150 or more scrimmage yards twice in his last five outings, and he has exceeded 80 scrimmage yards in six consecutive games. The rookie second-round pick will look to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Ravens on SNF.
