Jacobs sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Jacobs was spotted being evaluated by Raiders trainers in the fourth quarter and then attempted to walk it off while limping and grabbing at his leg before the Raiders made the announcement that he was questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, he'll finish Week 14 with 13 carries for 34 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 16 yards. Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White and Brandon Bolden currently are the healthy running backs on Las Vegas' active roster.

Williams recorded 11 rushes for 43 yards and failed to haul in his lone target during Sunday's 28-6 win against the Panthers.

Williams topped 10 carries for the first time since Week 1 against Tennessee, when he recorded 18 carries for a season-high 45 yards. Just like in the season-opener, the veteran running back received additional opportunities due to injuries to one of the Saints' top rushing options. Alvin Kamara was available Week 14, but he was without his top running mate, as do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill was inactive due to foot and hand injuries. This led the Saints to ask more out of Williams, whose aggressive and physical rushing style somewhat mimics Hill's unique abilities. The 224-pound back went on to record one of his most efficient rushing performances of the season, as he had averaged just 2.8 yards per carry on 52 attempts through his first eight games of the season. Kamara still paced the ground game with 12 carries for 56 yards, and he got the team's lone rushing touchdown with a nine-yard score to open the second quarter. Williams will likely again work as a complementary back if Hill remains sidelined Week 14 against the Giants.

Mattison sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

It's been a rough injury day for the Vikings, who have lost top wide receiver Justin Jefferson (chest), starting right tackle Brian O'Neill (ankle) and now their No. 1 running back. Mattison got injured on the team's first offensive play of the second half, and if he's unable to reenter the contest, he'll end Week 14 with 10 carries for 66 yards. Ty Chandler took over Minnesota's backfield after Mattison's departure.

Mixon rushed 21 times for 79 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 46 yards in the Bengals' 34-14 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Mixon saw rookie backfield mate Chase Brown increase his role with 11 touches in his own right, one of which resulted in an impressive 54-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first quarter. Brown certainly passes the eyeball test as the more explosive of the two players, but Mixon continued to be trusted with the bulk of the rushing work and played a key role through the air himself. The veteran rounded out his productive afternoon with a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and he appears to have a clear grasp on the lead role going into a Week 15 home matchup against the Vikings on Saturday afternoon.

Ford rushed the ball 12 times for 51 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars. He added five receptions on six targets for 31 yards.

Ford split carries nearly evenly with Kareem Hunt, but he separated himself as a pass catcher. On the ground, most of Ford's production came on a 26-yard gain early in the second quarter. He also has at least five targets in three of his last four games and has topped 30 receiving yards in consecutive contests. Ford should retain a valuable role in the offense moving forward; however, his status will be worth monitoring leading up to a Week 15 matchup against the Bears, as Ford was headed for X-rays on his hand or wrist following the win, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cook rushed seven times for 13 yards and caught his lone target for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.

The Jets' offense came alive with 30 second-half points after the game was scoreless at halftime, but Cook unsurprisingly didn't play a major part in that success. Breece Hall nursed an ankle injury in practice during the week but ended up handling his usual workload, turning 18 touches into 126 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Cook will likely continue to work in a change-of-pace role behind Hall in Week 15 against the Dolphins.

Kamara recorded 12 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown and three catches (on five targets) for minus-11 yards during Sunday's 28-6 victory against the Panthers.

On a day in which the Saints mustered just 207 yards of offense, Kamara's output wasn't much of a surprise, with his 45 yards from scrimmage marking his fewest of the season by a large margin (70 yards against the Bears back in Week 9 marked his previous low). He also extended his TD streak to two games, with his nine-yard scamper to the end zone in the first quarter doubling as his sixth score overall. New Orleans didn't have the services of Taysom Hill (foot/hand) on Sunday, so reserve running back Jamaal Williams handled 11 carries for 43 yards. Kamara will look to get back on track against the Giants next Sunday.

Moss rushed 13 times for 28 yards and secured four of eight targets for 28 yards in the Colts' 34-14 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Moss once again handled a bulk of the Colts' work in the ground game, although the flow of the contest eventually turned firmly toward the pass as far as Indianapolis was concerned. Moss found running room extremely hard to come by despite the favorable on-paper matchup, and the fact 12 of his yards came on one carry underscores how difficult an afternoon it was. Moss did partly make up for the lackluster rushing production with a busy day through the air, but he'll aim to atone in a Week 15 Saturday afternoon home matchup against the inconsistent Steelers run defense.

Robinson rushed 10 times for 34 yards and a touchdown and secured five of seven targets for 54 yards in the Falcons' 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Robinson logged just one more carry than backfield mate Tyler Allgeier, but he was the only one of the two to get into the end zone. The rookie did so on a three-yard run early in the fourth quarter, which served as Robinson's fourth rushing score of the season overall. Robinson has found running room hard to come by in the last two games, however, netting just 87 yards on 28 carries in that span. The rookie does have multiple receptions in three straight contests, and he'll draw a matchup potentially favorable to a resurgence on the ground when the Falcons do battle with the Panthers on the road in Week 15.

Sanders rushed 10 times for 74 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

Sanders popped free for a 48-yard run down to the one-yard line but lost a yard on the next play before a sack forced the Panthers to eventually settle for a field goal. His longest run of the season heading into the game was just 15 yards -- and the 48-yard scamper-- helped Sanders set a new season high in rushing yards, but he continued to work behind Chuba Hubbard, who rushed for 87 yards on 23 carries. Given Carolina's offensive struggles as a whole and Sanders' limited role, he'll be tough to trust in Week 15 against the Falcons.
