Henderson carried the ball 18 times for 66 yards and caught three of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

Rhamondre Stevenson returned from a three-game absence due to a toe injury, but that didn't have a big impact on Henderson's workload, as his 18 carries were just one short of his volume from the week before. Stevenson was also largely ineffective on his limited touches, gaining just five rushing yards on six totes and getting stuffed on two carries from Cincinnati's one-yard line in the third quarter. Henderson appears to have the No. 1 job in the backfield firmly in hand, racking up 405 rushing yards and four TDs with 5.4 yards per carry over the last five games while chipping in a 13-81-1 line on 16 targets. Henderson gets a very juicy matchup in Week 13 against a Giants defense that just got torched for 264 scrimmage yards and three total TDs by the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs.

Stevenson carried the ball six times for five yards and caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over Cincinnati.

Returning from a three-game absence due to a toe issue, Stevenson found himself firmly behind TreVeyon Henderson in the backfield pecking order, as the rookie turned 21 touches into 81 scrimmage yards. Stevenson was deployed at the goal line Sunday, but he got stuffed for no gain on two carries from the Bengals' one-yard line in the third quarter. That usage could allow him to maintain some fantasy value, but Stevenson appears to be the clear No. 2 option in the New England running game heading into a Week 13 meeting with the Giants.

Huntington (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Huntington is being evaluated by medical staff after he injured his groin during the first quarter. Shelby Harris and Mike Hall would see more defensive snaps the rest of the way if Huntington is not cleared to return.

Robinson caught nine of 14 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions. He also rushed once for no gain.

Robinson got behind the defense for a 39-yard touchdown catch on a flea flicker to cap the opening drive. That score was part of a sensational first quarter that also included a 40-yard reception and the NFL's version of an NBA and-one, on which Robinson held on for a 15-yard catch that also drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on Brian Branch. Robinson caught all four of his first-quarter targets for 106 yards and a touchdown, then tacked on five catches for 50 yards on 10 targets the rest of the way. He has drawn 45 targets over the past four games, so Robinson should continue to see plenty of volume against the Patriots in Week 13, regardless of whether Winston or Jaxson Dart (concussion) starts under center for the Giants.

Maye completed 22 of 35 passes for 294 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals. He added 22 rushing yards on five carries.

The 294 yards were a season high for the second-year QB. Maye's INT did turn into a pick-six by Geno Stone in the second quarter, but he responded with a nine-play, 70-yard drive on the Patriots' next possession that was capped by a 28-yard TD strike to Hunter Henry. Maye will take a 21:6 TD:INT on the season through 12 games into a Week 13 tilt against the Giants.

Coach Mike Tomlin noted after Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears that he anticipates Rodgers (left wrist) being ready to play next weekend against the Bills, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN, Tomlin noted in a pregame interview Sunday that Rodgers -- who has been dealing with a fractured left wrist -- "fought his tail off" to play against Chicago, while adding that it was the "prudent" decision to sit the veteran quarterback. In his Week 12 absence, Mason Rudolph started for the Steelers, with Will Howard backing him up.

McCarthy completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding two rushes for 10 yards in the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

The second-year signal-caller's nightmarish stretch of play continued, and McCarthy has now thrown for 150 yards or fewer in three of his last four games. McCarthy also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time in four games since returning from injury, and of greater concern, he tossed a pair of interceptions for the third consecutive contest. With Carson Wentz (shoulder) on injured reserve and the Vikings needing to see whether McCarthy can work his way through the most adversity-filled period of his nascent career, head coach Kevin O'Connell seemingly has no other option but to continue sticking with the embattled 2024 first-round pick for a Week 13 road matchup against the fearsome Seahawks defense.

Love completed 14 of 21 passes for 139 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed three times for 15 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Love's final line underscores how little the Packers were threatened by the Vikings' J.J. McCarthy-led offense in the divisional clash. Love, who Ryan Wood of USA Today reports conceded to having taken "a couple hits" to his shoulder without serious impact, attempted well under 25 passes for the third straight game and eighth time this season overall. The veteran signal-caller also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the third time in four contests, but he figures to have to be much more aggressive in a Thanksgiving road showdown against the Lions.

Hall rushed 16 times for 44 yards and caught all four of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.

Hall has recorded at least 111 scrimmage yards in six of 11 games this season and at least 119 yards in three of the past four games. His fumble came at the two-yard line in the fourth quarter as he was battling for extra yards at the end of an 11-yard run. Hall led the Jets in both rushing yards and receiving yards for the second time in the past three games, so he's poised to maintain a significant role in the Jets' underwhelming offense against the Falcons in Week 13.

Jefferson brought in four of six targets for 48 yards in the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

It's small consolation for Jefferson's frustrated fantasy managers, but the star wideout either tied for the lead (receptions) or set the pace (receiving yards, targets) for the Vikings on the afternoon in all three major receiving categories. However, J.J. McCarthy's continued struggles led to Jefferson's third sub-50-yard effort in the last four contests, and there presently doesn't appear to be any light at the end of the tunnel for Minnesota's air attack. Jefferson's next matchup doesn't offer any solace, either, considering a Week 13 road matchup against the daunting Seahawks defense awaits next Sunday.
