Rob Havenstein OT | LAR
Rams' Rob Havenstein: Won't play vs. Philadelphia
Havenstein (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Eagles, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Havenstein will miss a third straight game due to an ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Seahawks, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 1. Warren McClendon started at right tackle in Week 11 against New England, and he figures to do so again Sunday due to Havenstein being sidelined.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Solid with limited opportunities
Tracy rushed nine times for 42 yards and brought in all four targets for 28 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Game script limited Tracy's opportunities on the ground significantly, but he was still able to average an impressive 4.7 yards per carry while also recording his second-highest catch and receiving yardage totals of the season. On a less promising note, the rookie running back lost a fumble for the second straight game -- and this one came with New York just five yards away from the Buccaneers' end zone. Tracy's carry total was his second lowest since taking on a larger role in the ground attack at the expense of Devin Singletary, but he should have a much better chance at a normal workload in a Week 13 road matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Back in Sunday's game
Jacobs (cramps) returned to Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
After scoring his second TD of the game with 4:28 left in the third quarter, Jacobs went to the locker room and was considered questionable to return due to cramps. He missed the Packers' next offensive possession but got back on the field early in the fourth quarter, eclipsing 100 yards on the ground on his 23 carry of the game.

Rachaad White RB | TB
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Scores rushing TD in win
White rushed 12 times for 37 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.
White had trouble with his efficiency on the ground, as he logged a full 50 yards fewer than backfield mate Bucky Irving on the same number of carries. However, White was able to make up for it with his second rushing touchdown of the season, a one-yard run late in the third quarter. His catch total did tie a season low, however, and the more explosive Irving appears to be making a strong case to potentially earn even more work, leaving White's fantasy outlook for a very favorable matchup against the Panthers in Week 13 at least somewhat murky.

Jordan Addison WR | MIN
Vikings' Jordan Addison: Enjoys career day
Addison recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Bears.
Addison posted both the highest yardage and reception total of his career against a Bears secondary that has regularly shut down opposing wide receivers. He did the majority of his damage on receptions of 69 and 45 yards, and he showed impressive balance for a long run after the catch down the sideline on the former play. Addison also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a two-yard catch early in the second quarter. While Justin Jefferson will remain the top priority in the Minnesota offense, Addison's performance shows the ability to make opposing defenses pay when they focus on taking Jefferson out of the game.

Cooper Rush QB | DAL
Cowboys' Cooper Rush: Produces solid numbers in win
Rush completed 24 of 32 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and netted one yard on four rushes in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Rush was able to put together a successful, turnover-free encore to his season-high 354-yard tally on Monday night against the Texans, posting his first multi-TD tally in the process. The veteran backup connected for both of his scoring tosses in the second half, hitting Jalen Tolbert (six yards) and Luke Schoonmaker (22 yards) with end-zone strikes in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Rush may be settling into a rhythm now that he's gotten a few games under his belt, and he'll head into a Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Giants with momentum on his side.

Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Concussion confirmed Sunday
Doubs won't return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers due to a concussion, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs drew a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in the middle of the third quarter that helped set up Josh Jacobs' (cramps) second TD of the contest, but the wide receiver was slow to get to his feet and eventually the sideline before he was ruled out. Doubs will finish Week 12 with three catches (on six targets) for 54 yards.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Departs due to cramping Sunday
Jacobs is dealing with cramps during Sunday's game against the 49ers.
After scoring his second touchdown of the contest with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter from one-yard out, Jacobs ran to the locker room and was deemed questionable to return shortly thereafter. Jacobs had 22 carries for 99 yards and the pair of end-zone visits at the time of his exit. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are the other running backs available on the Packers' game-day roster.

Rico Dowdle RB | DAL
Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Garners 98 total yards in win
Dowdle rushed 19 times for 86 yards and brought in all three targets for 12 yards in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Dowdle operated as the unquestioned lead back, as backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott logged only three carries. The former fittingly parlayed his second-highest carry total of the season into his second-highest rushing yardage tally, and he also extended his streak of multi-catch efforts to six games. Dowdle heads into a favorable Thanksgiving Day home matchup against the Giants with a secure grip on the top job in Dallas' ground attack.
