Miles Sanders RB | DAL
Panthers' Miles Sanders: Just misses TD on best run all year
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.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Continues to lead team's offense
Hubbard rushed 23 times for 87 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.
Hubbard had more than twice as many rushing yards (59) as Bryce Young had passing yards (29) in the first half. Unfortunately for the 24-year-old running back, the negative game script coupled with more touches for Miles Sanders (who finished with 10 carries for 74 yards) limited Hubbard's opportunities after halftime. Hubbard has built up some momentum with at least 92 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Falcons.

Dameon Pierce RB | PHI
Texans' Dameon Pierce: Outplayed by Singletary in loss
Pierce rushed four times for nine yards and caught his only target for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets.
Pierce was handily outplayed by Devin Singletary, who rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown. C.J. Stroud has entered concussion protocol after exiting in the fourth quarter, and if the rookie quarterback is unavailable in Week 15 against the Titans, both Pierce and Singletary could see additional volume with Houston likely to lean more on the running game if backup Davis Mills gets the start under center.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Texans' Devin Singletary: Scores team's only points in loss
Singletary rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets.
Singletary was the only member of Houston's offense that enjoyed a modicum of success, as C.J. Stroud threw for only 91 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion, while Dameon Pierce had just four carries for nine yards. After rushing for 64 yards in the first half, Singletary was fittingly the player that got the Texans on the board, scoring a one-yard rushing touchdown on the final play of the third quarter. Singletary seems to be nudging ahead of Pierce in Houston's backfield, but the entire offense would have a far less rosy outlook if Stroud fails to clear concussion protocol before the team's Week 15 game against the Titans.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Productive again with high volume
White rushed 25 times for 102 yards and secured both targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.
White put together another strong fantasy day with a hefty workload, hitting the 100-yard mark for the second time in the last three games. The second-year back also did damage as a pass catcher once again, taking one of his two catches for a weaving 31-yard touchdown in the latter portion of the third quarter. White continues to be far and away the leader of the Buccaneers backfield, logging 20 or more carries in four of the last six contests while recording a touchdown through either the run or the air in three of the last four games as well. He'll look to exploit an inconsistent Packers run defense on the road in Week 15.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Continues to excel as pass catcher
Hall (ankle) rushed 10 times for 40 yards while catching eight of nine targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.
Hall hasn't scored on the ground since Week 6, but he has three receiving touchdowns during that drought, including his three-yard score in the fourth quarter against Houston. He set season highs in catches and receiving yards Sunday, and Hall has caught at least five passes in six of the last eight games. Hall's robust contributions as a receiver continue to make up for his lack of rushing production, as this was his seventh consecutive game with no more than 50 rushing yards. The ankle injury that limited Hall's practice reps heading into the game didn't seem to impact his performance, so he should continue to see a steady diet of both carries and targets in Week 15 against the Dolphins.

Isaiah Spiller RB | LV
Chargers' Isaiah Spiller: Active versus Broncos
Spiller is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Spiller has been a regular healthy scratch of late, but he'll be in uniform and has a chance to see some touches versus Denver, as the Chargers look for a potential spark in their ground game. Though Austin Ekeler remains in line to start, Joshua Kelley and Spiller are also expected to see work in the team's Week 14 backfield, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggesting that Los Angeles may employ a 'hot hand' approach with its running backs Sunday.

Samaje Perine RB | CIN
Broncos' Samaje Perine: Active as expected Week 14
Perine (knee) is
The veteran complementary back was reported to be in line to suit up Sunday, and his availability is now confirmed. Perine will therefore be available to handle his usual solid No. 2 role alongside top back Javonte Williams against a Chargers defense that's allowed 149 rushing yards per contest in the last three games, along with the second-most receptions (75) to running backs on the season.

Jordan Mason RB | MIN
49ers' Jordan Mason: Should serve as No. 2 back
Mason is in line to serve as the No. 2 running back for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Seahawks with Elijah Mitchell (knee) ruled inactive for the contest.
Mason has logged just two carries since Week 6, but he'll be in line to handle any complementary work available behind Christian McCaffrey versus Seattle. Mason has been efficient with his limited opportunities in his second season, averaging 5.5 yards per carry on his 23 totes while also recording a pair of rushing touchdowns and adding a 13-yard reception.

Elijah Mitchell RB | NE
49ers' Elijah Mitchell: Officially inactive Sunday
Mitchell (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 clash with Seattle.
Mitchell's inactive status doesn't come as a surprise, as he didn't practice at all during Week 14 prep and entered the weekend listed as doubtful. The third-year running back has now missed four games this season, though the first three all came within the first five weeks of the campaign. With Mitchell out, Jordan Mason will ascend to the role of San Francisco's No. 2 back behind Christian McCaffrey.
