Williams (groin) rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Giants.

Williams has yet to score a touchdown as a member of the Saints after leading the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns for the Lions last season. He remains a distant second on the running back depth chart behind Alvin Kamara, who had 110 scrimmage yards on 21 touches. Williams failed to build any momentum after eclipsing 40 scrimmage yards for only the second time all season in the previous game against the Panthers. Up next for Williams and the Saints is a road game against the Rams on Thursday Night Football.

Kamara rushed 16 times for 66 yards and caught all five of his targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Giants.

Kamara finished with the most carries, rushing yards and catches among players from either team, and only Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (63) had more receiving yards in this defensive battle. The versatile running back was leaned on heavily in the absence of wide receivers Chris Olave (ankle) and Michael Thomas (knee). Kamara's 21 touches marked his highest total since Week 8, and he eclipsed 100 scrimmage yards for the sixth time this season. His significant involvement as both a rusher and a pass catcher should give Kamara a high floor Thursday against the Rams.

White rushed 21 times for 89 yards and brought in both his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

White filled his usual workhorse role in the ground attack, with Chase Edmonds the only other running back to log any carries (three). The second-year back also did his usual damage as a receiver, recording a 26-yard touchdown reception to cap off the Buccaneers' first drive of the second half. The receiving touchdown was White's third of the season and his second in as many games. White also has at least 84 rushing yards in four consecutive contests, his most productive stretch of the campaign. White will have a tougher matchup in a Week 16 interconference home battle against the Jaguars on Christmas Eve.

Henry rushed the ball 16 times for nine yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Texans. He added four receptions on four targets for one yard.

Henry saw plenty of opportunity -- he earned at least 20 touches for the fourth time in his last eight games -- but that was the end of the good news. He had neither a rush attempt nor a reception of more than six yards, leaving him with his lowest yardage total of the season. Henry should have a chance to bounce back in Week 16 against a Seahawks defense that has been susceptible to opposing rushing attacks this season.

Achane (toe) rushed nine times for 32 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.

Achane ceded goal-line opportunities to Raheem Mostert, who scored twice to raise his season rushing touchdown total to 18. Mostert had just 43 scrimmage yards on 17 touches, so neither speedy running back broke off many big plays. Achane's longest gain came on a 13-yard catch, though he also had a key play on the ground, converting on fourth-and-2 with a four-yard carry on the final play of the third quarter. Mostert has settled in as the top option in Miami's backfield heading into a Week 16 home game against the Cowboys, but Achane has handled a substantial complementary role when available.

Mostert rushed 15 times for 42 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for one yard in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.

Mostert opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, then extended the lead to 24-0 with a one-yard rushing touchdown shortly before halftime. He had a chance to score a third touchdown but was stuffed for a loss of seven yards on a third-quarter carry from the 2-yard line. The pair of scores raised Mostert's league-leading rushing touchdown total to 18, with seven of those touchdowns coming in his last four games. Mostert will look to add to that impressive total in Week 16 against the stout Dallas defense.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Moss (arm) is doing "good" after exiting Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers, but Steichen didn't elaborate further on the running back's status heading into a Week 16 game against the Falcons on Dec. 24, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

According to Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis, Steichen said that Moss will be monitored in practice this week along with fellow running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb). While Taylor was sidelined for the Colts' past three games following thumb surgery, Moss took over as the team's clear lead back before the right arm injury forced him out of Saturday's contest. He carried four times for 13 yards and recorded three catches for 20 yards and a touchdown across 19 snaps on offense before departing. The Colts finished the game with Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson as their healthy options at running back.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Taylor (thumb) is "feeling good" and could be back in action for the team's Week 16 game against the Falcons on Dec. 24, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. "We'll see how the week goes," Steichen said.

While continuing his recovery from Nov. 29 surgery on his right thumb, Taylor remained sidelined for Saturday's 30-13 win over the Steelers, marking the running back's third consecutive absence. The Colts will begin Week 16 prep Wednesday, which will mark three weeks following Taylor's thumb procedure. The team is expected to hold a walk-through session that day, but if Taylor is able to practice in some fashion Thursday and/or Friday, he could get the green light to return to the lineup next Sunday. Zack Moss has filled in as the Colts' lead back for the past three games, but his status is also murky for Week 16 after he exited the win over the Steelers with an arm injury.

Williams (groin) is listed as active Sunday versus the Giants.

Despite operating with a cap on his reps during Week 15 prep due to a groin injury, Williams will play through it Sunday. Having said that, he'll again play second fiddle to Alvin Kamara out of the Saints backfield, and Williams also may yield carries to Taysom Hill (foot/left hand), who is back from a one-game absence. Overall, Williams is averaging eight touches for 24.9 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring no TDs in nine appearances this season.

Dillon (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Dillon showed up on the Packers' Week 15 injury report Wednesday as a non-participant due to a thumb issue, which he eventually revealed to be a broken right thumb. Ball security thus is the primary concern for his availability, considering he was donning a large wrap on his right hand during his sole limited practice Friday. Now that Green Bay has deemed Dillon inactive Sunday, the team will welcome back Aaron Jones to the backfield for the first time since Week 11, when he suffered an MCL sprain that resulted in three DNPs. Aside from Jones, Patrick Taylor and Kenyan Drake are the Packers' other active running backs.
