Abanikanda rushed three times for minus-1 yard and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.

Abanikanda got some second-half opportunities in the blowout win. The 2023 fifth-round draft pick out of Pitt has four carries for 10 yards and one catch on two targets for five yards while having appeared in two games so far.

Freeman rushed three times for nine yards during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens.

For the second straight week, Freeman's usage was limited to a handful of snaps in relief of Kyren Williams, and all three of the veteran's rushing attempts went for exactly three yards. Williams managed to put up 114 rushing yards on a whopping 25 carries, signaling that the Rams will continue to trust him with the vast majority of touches in the backfield and keep Freeman relegated to very limited playing time on offense.

Jones (knee), who is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants, is not expected to suit up, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jones looks set to miss a third straight game due to the knee injury he suffered Week 11 versus the Chargers, which sets up AJ Dillon to work as Green Bay's clear lead back. The Packers also have Patrick Taylor on hand as an option to spell Dillon. Official word on Jones' status will arrive about 90 minutes prior to Monday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Allgeier rushed nine times for 40 yards and wasn't targeted in the Falcons' 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Allgeier's yardage total paced the Falcons' ground attack on a day when the Buccaneers' run defense mostly clamped down on him and backfield mate Bijan Robinson. Allgeier also went without a target for the third straight game, his longest such stretch this season. Allgeier was encouragingly only one rush attempt behind Robinson's tally, but the timeshare scenario in Atlanta's backfield lowers the former's fantasy ceiling more because of his lack of a consistent pass-catching role.

Swift rushed 11 times for 39 yards in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.

The game script began to turn away from the Eagles' ground game fairly early, as the Cowboys owned a 10-0 lead after one quarter and a 24-6 advantage by halftime. That helped lead to one of Swift's lower rush-attempt totals of the season, and despite the sizable deficit Philadelphia operated with most of the game, Swift was also shut out of the passing game altogether for the first time in his Eagles tenure, making it a disappointing all-around night. The fourth-year pro will aim to bounce back in a Week 15 road matchup against the Seahawks on Monday night, Dec. 18.

Pollard rushed 16 times for 59 yards and caught seven of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.

Pollard was stymied on the ground against a tough Philadelphia defensive front, but his contributions as a receiver helped him approach the century mark in total yards. The starter ceded a short score on one of backup Rico Dowdle's 12 carries Sunday. Had Pollard been gifted the one-yard touchdown in the second quarter instead, he would have increased his modest streak of games with 60 rushing yards and a touchdown to four instead of missing both marks. Pollard did eclipse 1,000 combined yards from scrimmage with Sunday's showing, a feat he has accomplished for three years running. Dallas' feature back will face the Bills, who have surrendered 110.9 rushing yards per game this season, on the road next Sunday.

McKinnon carried the ball four times for 19 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

With Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) sidelined, Clyde Edwards-Helaire got the start at running back for Kansas City and saw 13 touches, but it was McKinnon who got into the end zone on a seven-yard run in the second quarter. It's the veteran RB's first score on the ground in almost exactly a year, although he's caught three TD passes in 2023. If Pacheco isn't ready to return in Week 15 against the Patriots, McKinnon and Edwards-Helaire figure to split snaps again.

Edwards-Helaire carried the ball 11 times for 39 yards and caught two of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

Getting the start in place of the injured Isiah Pacheco (shoulder), Edwards-Helaire didn't find much success on the ground -- his longest carry went for only seven yards -- but he did turn a pass from Patrick Mahomes into a 20-yard gain in the fourth quarter, helping to set up a field goal that tied the game at 17-17. Pacheco isn't expected to need an IR stint, but if he's unavailable in Week 15, Edwards-Helaire could see an elevated workload again versus the Patriots.

Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

Hunt continued to split the backfield evenly with Jerome Ford, though he was the far less efficient back. Nevertheless, he continues to maintain the goal-line role in the Cleveland offense, as he managed a four-yard trip to the end zone to highlight his performance against the Jaguars. Hunt now has seven touchdowns on the season, all of which have come in the Browns' last nine games.

Herbert rushed the ball three times for eight yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Lions.

Herbert saw his role slip significantly with the return of D'Onta Foreman (ankle), as he worked in a clear backup role. He's been held to 35 or fewer rushing yards in three consecutive games since returning from injured reserve, and that streak looks unlikely to change in Week 15 against Cleveland.
