Dylan Sampson RB | CLE
Browns' Dylan Sampson: Dealing with pair of injuries
Sampson (calf/hand) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Sampson impressed as a receiver during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14, securing five of six targets for 64 yards, but he appears to have picked up two injuries in the contest. The rookie fourth-round pick also rushed twice for four yards and lost one fumble. He'll have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Bears.

Hassan Haskins RB | LAC
Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Fills special-teams role in return
Haskins (hamstring) played all 21 of his snaps on special teams in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.
Haskins was one of two running backs the Chargers welcomed back from injured reserve for Week 14, as Omarion Hampton (ankle) was also activated prior to Monday's game. Before going down with the hamstring issue, Haskins had been seeing work behind Hampton as a short-yardage back, but Haskins' role on offense evaporated in his return. The Chargers split the backfield work between Hampton and Kimani Vidal, the latter of whom had been serving as Los Angeles' lead back while Hampton was sidelined over the previous seven games.

Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: One grab against Chargers
Shipley caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Shipley failed to record a single rushing attempt Monday, while playing just seven of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps. In 11 appearances this season, the second-year running back has totaled just 11 rushes for 45 yards on offense, adding six receptions for 42 yards. Due to his limited usage in Philadelphia's backfield, Shipley should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: One carry in OT loss
Bigbsy rushed once for four yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.
Bigsby played just seven of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps, behind starter Saquon Barkley (58) and tied with Will Shipley. The 24-year-old running back has failed to gain more than eight yards in four out of the last five contests, handling just nine total carries over that span. Bigsby remains a solid insurance policy in Philadelphia's backfield in the event that Barkley were to miss time due to injury, but the Auburn product has little standalone value for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.

Rasheen Ali RB | BAL
Ravens' Rasheen Ali: Three touches in loss
Ali rushed once for two yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.
Ali played 27 of the Ravens' 80 offensive snaps, behind Derrick Henry (43) and ahead of Keaton Mitchell (12). The second-year running back was not a major factor in the contest, recording just 13 total yards on his three touches. As long as Henry is healthy, Ali figures to continue to see limited usage in Baltimore's offense. The Marshall product should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Bengals.
-
Tyler Goodson RB | IND
Colts' Tyler Goodson: Plays one offensive snap
Goodson failed to record a single carry or target in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.
Goodson was a complete nonfactor Sunday, as the running back played just one of the Colts' 70 offensive snaps behind Jonathan Taylor (52) and Ameer Abdullah (17). For fantasy purposes, the 25-year-old Goodson remains an interesting insurance policy if Taylor misses time due to injury, but the Iowa product should otherwise remain far off the fantasy radar when the Colts visit the Seahawks in Week 15.

Tyler Badie RB | DEN
Broncos' Tyler Badie: Five touches against Las Vegas
Badie rushed four times for 16 yards and caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.
Badie was unable to get much going Sunday, recording 21 total yards against the Raiders. The 25-year-old running back played just 12 of the Broncos' 74 offensive snaps, behind RJ Harvey (50) but ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin (10). Badie is not seeing enough consistent usage to be an impactful player for fantasy purposes. With that said, the Missouri product should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Packers in Week 15.

Trayveon Williams RB | CLE
Browns' Trayveon Williams: Signed to Cleveland's active roster
The Browns signed Williams off the Chargers' practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Williams joined the Chargers' practice squad in late October after being cut by the Browns in early September. He appeared in three regular-season games for the Bolts, but he'll get a new opportunity in Cleveland, where he'll provide backfield depth behind Raheim Sanders and rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson.

Sincere McCormick RB | DEN
Sincere McCormick: Joins Denver's practice squad
McCormick was signed to the Broncos' practice squad Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
McCormick was let go by Arizona on Dec. 2, but he quickly found a new home with Denver. The running back spent time with both the 49ers' and Cardinals' practice squads this year, and he'll provide the Broncos' with an additional extreme depth option behind RJ Harvey while J.K. Dobbins (foot) is on injured reserve.

Brashard Smith RB | KC
Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Totals one touch in Week 14
Smith recorded one rush for seven yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.
While the final score was a 10-point Chiefs loss, the contest remained close enough throughout that KC didn't need to abandon the run until the very end. Thus, Smith saw limited usage, notching just five offensive snaps in the contest. While he continues to be featured a bit as a kick returner, Smith has just one offensive touch to his name over the last two weeks, and there's little to suggest that will change as long as Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt stay healthy.
