Cordarrelle Patterson RB | PIT
Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Small part of offense
Patterson rushed five times for 11 yards and caught one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets.
Five of Patterson's six touches came in the first half, and his lone second-half touch went for negative-one yard. The veteran fumbled his final touch of the first half out of bounds, so his lack of ball security may have played a part in his limited role down the stretch. Either way, Patterson's fantasy value remains limited as long as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are healthy.

Samaje Perine RB | CIN
Broncos' Samaje Perine: Minimal involvement in Week 13
Perine rushed once for one yard and caught both of his targets for five yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.
Perine's quiet performance Sunday came on day when the Broncos offense took a step back from their recent stretch of success. Perine played just 12 of Denver's 60 offensive snaps, behind Javonte Williams (39) and ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin (9). The veteran recorded season lows in receiving yards and rushing yards in games with at least one carry. Based on Perine's inconsistent usage behind Williams, he remains an untrustworthy option for fantasy purposes. The 28-year-old should continue to have an uphill battle for valuable touches when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 14.

Jaleel McLaughlin RB | DEN
Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Six touches in loss
McLaughlin rushed four times for 15 yards and caught both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.
McLaughlin continued to operate as the Broncos' No. 3 running back Sunday, playing just nine of Denver's 60 offensive snaps in the contest. Meanwhile, Javonte Williams maintained his lead role with 39 snaps, and Samaje Perine was on the field for 12 snaps. McLaughlin is not seeing enough opportunities to produce effectively, diminishing his fantasy utility. Barring an injury to either Williams or Perine, the rookie should not be considered anything more than a possible insurance policy for fantasy purposes. McLaughlin and the Broncos visit the Chargers in Week 14.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Expected to miss multiple weeks
Stevenson is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain that will require him to miss multiple games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Stevenson suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers. Further tests have since reportedly revealed a high-ankle sprain, which essentially guarantees he will miss Thursday's game against the Steelers, although the Patriots haven't yet officially confirmed the severity of Stevenson's injury. An extended absence on Stevenson's part would position Ezekiel Elliott (thigh) to lead New England's backfield, with Ty Montgomery and JaMycal Hasty also available to help carry the load.

Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Nine total yards in win
Edmonds rushed twice for seven yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Buccaneers' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Edmonds was once again a distant second to Rachaad White in touches, logging 18 fewer rush attempts and four fewer targets. The complementary back is a perpetual afterthought in the offense, as he's yet to top four carries or three targets in any of the eight games he's suited up for.

Joe Mixon RB | HOU
Bengals' Joe Mixon: Strong all-around effort in OT win
Mixon rushed 19 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns and brought in six of seven targets for 49 yards in the Bengals' 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars on Monday night.
Mixon was instrumental in the Bengals' upset, recording six- and two-yard touchdown runs in the first half to help forge a 14-14 tie going into halftime. The versatile veteran also was a distant second in reception and receiving yards to Ja'Marr Chase on the night, and his totals in both categories were season highs. Mixon should continue to be heavily involved as both a runner and receiver as Cincinnati aims to continue giving fill-in quarterback Jake Browning plenty of support in a Week 14 home matchup versus the Colts.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Scores TD prior to Lawrence injury
Etienne (ribs) rushed 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 34 yards in Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals.
Etienne capped Jacksonville's first drive with a four-yard rushing touchdown but finished with his second-fewest rushing attempts and third-fewest rushing yards of the season, perhaps due to the lingering effects of the rib injury that limited his practice participation heading into the game. Trevor Lawrence (ankle) accounted for the team's next three scores with two passing touchdowns and a quarterback sneak prior to exiting in the fourth quarter. Etienne's 19-yard catch on a pass from backup quarterback C.J. Beathard helped set up a game-tying field goal in the final minute of regulation, but the Bengals kicked a game-winning field goal after Jacksonville failed to score on the first drive of overtime, dropping the Jaguars to 8-4 heading into a Week 14 road game against the Browns.

Tyler Goodson RB | ATL
Tyler Goodson: Back to practice squad
Goodson reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday.
Goodson was elevated ahead of Sunday's overtime win versus the Titans as Jonathan Taylor (thumb) was inactive. The 23-year-old played three offensive snaps and hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards. Goodson could have a chance to play again next week versus the Bengals if Taylor ends up being out once again.

Deneric Prince RB | NE
Deneric Prince: Returns to practice squad
Prince reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday.
Prince was active for Sunday's loss to the Packers as Jerick McKinnon (groin) was out, but he didn't see any playing time. The rookie undrafted free agent will now wait for another opportunity to be called up for action.

Adam Prentice FB | DEN
Adam Prentice: Back to practice squad
Prentice reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday.
Prentice appeared in Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Lions, failing to record any stats while playing nine offensive snaps, though he did get an assisted tackle on punt coverage. The fullback has played in eight contests with New Orleans in 2023 and will likely get another shot with the active roster down the road.
