Warren rushed the ball 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

Warren was cleared Friday from an ankle injury, though there was still some question as to whether he'd handle his typical workload. However, he matched his season high with 18 carries and reached at least 60 rushing yards for the third straight game. Warren also found the end zone for only the fourth time this season on a one-yard plunge late in the second quarter. Warren remains the traditional lead back for Pittsburgh despite ceding work as a pass catcher, and he's a reliable, if unspectacular, contributor.

McManus made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries during the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

McManus was cleared to return Sunday from a one-game absence due to a right quadriceps injury. His kicking power wasn't tested that much in his return, with his 40-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter being his longest attempt of the day. McManus is now 14-for-20 on field-goal attempts and 18-for-19 on extra-point tries over eight regular-season games.

Jeanty rushed 17 times for 50 yards while grabbing all eight of his targets for 58 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

Jeanty was the lone bright spot on offense for the Raiders on Sunday, converting the team's only trip to the end zone in an yet another dismal group effort. The Boise State product understandably struggled on the ground (2.9 YPC) against one of the league's top defenses while running behind Las Vegas' porous offensive line. This has been an ongoing trend for Jeanty in his rookie season, with his last game averaging over four yards per carry coming back in Week 5. The 21-year-old salvaged what would have been a mediocre fantasy score by setting a new single-game high in receiving yards (58) and catching his fourth touchdown pass of the season (eighth overall). Jeanty will look for redemption next Sunday against the Chargers after being held to 44 yards on 14 touches when the two rivals from the AFC West met back in Week 2.

Charbonnet rushed the ball six times for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans.

Charbonnet was limited to a season-low six touches, with Kenneth Walker totaling 14. Charbonnet still delivered a familiar line, specifically finding success near the goal line as he plunged into the end zone from five yards away midway through the third quarter. Even if Charbonnet's role slips overall, he remains the preferred back in short-yardage situations. That will likely lead to boom-or-bust fantasy performances, though he does have seven scores in 10 games on the campaign.

Gipson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Gipson sustained the injury late in the fourth quarter, when he fumbled the ball on a punt return. Will Shipley and Jahan Dotson would be in line for return duties on kickoffs and punts if Gipson is not cleared to return.

Walker rushed the ball 11 times for 71 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans. He added three receptions on four targets for 30 yards.

Walker suffered a glute injury late in the week and entered Sunday with a questionable tag, though he still comfortably led Seattle's backfield with 14 touches as compared to six for Zach Charbonnet. As has often been the case, Walker was the more efficient back, with four of his 11 carries going for more than 10 yards. He also remained more involved as a pass catcher, logging three catches for the second consecutive game and for the third time this season. The only downside to Walker's performance came around the goal line, as he was stuffed from the two-yard line and then ceded an opportunity from the five to Charbonnet later in the game. Overall, it was still a positive performance for Walker as he topped 100 yards from scrimmage for the second consecutive contest.

Pierce is expected to be signed to the Chiefs' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Pierce was waived by the Texans on Thursday, and he now appears to have found a new home in Kansas City. The running back has turned 10 carries into 26 yards over four games with Houston this year, and he'll look to impress with the Chiefs. The transaction won't become official until Monday, at the earliest.

Hunter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against Tampa Bay.

Hunter has logged just 22 special-teams snaps across five rookie-season appearances. He's firmly behind Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers on the backfield depth chart.

Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bucs but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

Bennett will only see the field if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo suffer injuries. Bennett has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL contest through three seasons.

Smith (concussion) is inactive for Sunday night's game versus Tampa Bay.

Smith was concussed last Sunday against the Seahawks and will miss this one against the Bucs, allowing Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield opportunities to play more snaps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Across 10 games this season, Smith has a 7-85-0 receiving line on 10 targets.
