Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Splits carries with Gordon
Wright carried the ball three times for 16 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.
Wright logged the same amount of carries as No. 2 running back Ollie Gordon, who garnered 10 rushing yards. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane racked up 134 rushing yards and one touchdown across his 22 carries. Wright will continue competing with Gordon for reserve opportunities as the Dolphins head into a Week 14 divisional matchup against the Jets.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Leading rusher on MNF
Singletary rushed 12 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions (on three targets) for 34 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.
Singletary made his mark on Monday Night Football when he lined up in the Wildcat formation and ripped off a 22-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter. The 27-year-old finished as the game's leading rusher a week after being overshadowed by backfield mate Tyrone Tracy. The latter finished with 33 net yards on 11 touches Monday, but Tracy also left the game in the fourth quarter with a hip injury and didn't return. Singletary has quietly entered the mix as a flex option in standard fantasy formats after recording double-digit carries in three straight games while hitting pay dirt thrice over that span, but if Tracy misses any time, the former would increase his value further. The Giants will be on a bye next week and resume play against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 14 in Week 15.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Role expands in Week 13 win
Stevenson rushed 12 times for 40 yards and secured all three targets for 40 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.
Stevenson saw one more carry than TreVeyon Henderson in the run-heavy game plan, but he finished with 27 fewer yards. However, Stevenson was the more effective receiver of the two thanks to his co-game-high 36-yard reception, which helped the veteran to his second-highest receiving yardage total of the campaign. Stevenson doubled his Week 12 workload on the ground, but Henderson likely remains the No. 1 option heading into a Week 15 home clash on Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Bills following a Week 14 bye.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Tallies 86 total yards in win
Henderson rushed 11 times for 67 yards and brought in three of four targets for 19 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.
Henderson actually logged one fewer carry than Rhamondre Stevenson, but he outgained his backfield mate by 27 rushing yards and drew one additional target as well. Both backs had ample opportunity thanks to game script, as the Patriots already held a 30-7 lead at halftime. Henderson is still likely the No. 1 option under normal circumstances, but both backs are clearly trusted by the coaching staff. Henderson next takes aim at the Bills' typically generous run defense in a Week 15 home showdown on Sunday, Dec. 14 following a Week 14 bye.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Dealing with hip issue
Tracy is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Patriots due to a hip injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy took a hard hit early in the fourth quarter and was unable to put much weight on his left leg as he was helped off the field. He was quickly carted to the locker after being examined in the medical tent, suggesting he is unlikely to return to Monday's game given the limited remaining time. Devin Singletary is in line to handle most of the work in the Giants backfield to close the contest.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Being examined in medical tent
Tracy (undisclosed) was helped off the field by trainers in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Patriots, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Tracy was bottled up on a run early in the fourth quarter and took a hard hit to the head area, and he was also unable to put much weight on his left leg while exiting. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, but his lower body appears to be the primary problem. Tracy was taken on a cart to the locker room for further examination after a brief period in the medical tent. Devin Singletary should serve as the Giants' primary back in Tracy's absence.

Evan Hull RB | NO
Saints' Evan Hull: Logs five carries in NOLA debut
Hull tallied five carries for 15 yards during Sunday's 21-17 loss versus Miami.
Alvin Kamara was inactive with an MCL sprain suffered last week, leaving Hull, Devin Neal and Audric Estime as the Saints' three active running backs. Neal handled the bulk of the rushing workload with 14 carries while playing 82 percent of offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Hull played just 18 percent of offensive snaps, while Estime never saw the field. Hull appears set to be the RB2 so long as Kamara remains out, but his production probably won't serve much purpose in terms of fantasy value. New Orleans will next play versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Velus Jones Jr. RB | SEA
Velus Jones: Returns to practice squad
Jones reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Jones was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings, most notably downing a punt from Michael Dickson in the fourth quarter. The running back didn't record any additional stats over his 17 snaps with the special-teams unit in the game. Jones can be elevated two more times before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.
-
Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: Ruled out with head injury
Jennings (head) will not return to Monday's game against the Giants, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Jennings exited the game early in the second quarter and was last seen headed into the locker room. It's unclear if he was diagnosed with a concussion, though additional details should emerge following the game. TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson should see a heavy workload for the rest of the game as the only healthy running backs that are active for the Patriots.

Trayveon Williams RB | LAC
Trayveon Williams: Back with practice squad
Williams reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Williams elevated for the third game in a row ahead of Sunday's 31-14 win over the Raiders, failing to record any stats while playing 14 snaps on special teams. The running back didn't garner an offensive snap while Kimani Vidal (51) and Jaret Patterson (15) operated ahead of him in the backfield. With Omarion Hampton (ankle) nearing a return to action, Williams will likely remain on the practice squad or operate in an extreme depth role moving forward.
