Ashton Jeanty RB | LV
Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Dealing with ankle issue
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Jeanty suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Browns, but it's not believed to be severe, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
When asked if the injury could limit Jeanty in practice this week ahead of next Sunday's game against the Chargers, Carroll said, "I haven't heard that it would yet. It sounds like there's a chance that he'll be okay." Despite the Raiders losing 24-10 to Cleveland, Jeanty still had a strong game, totaling 108 yards and one touchdown on 25 touches. He had a particularly strong game as a pass-catcher, securing all eight of his targets for 50 yards and a score. If Jeanty would need to miss time, Raheem Mostert, Zamir White and Dylan Laube would would be options out of the backfield.

Malik Davis RB | DAL
Cowboys' Malik Davis: Three carries in Week 12 win
Davis carried the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.
The 26-year-old filled the No. 2 role in the Dallas backfield but was a distant second to Javonte Williams (101 scrimmage yards on 22 touches) in workload. Davis has taken seven carries for 44 yards over the last two weeks since moving ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue on the depth chart -- an impressive 6.3 yards per carry -- but his fantasy utility is extremely limited as long as Williams is healthy.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Meager output in victory
Corum rushed seven times for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.
While the final score was another blowout win for the Rams, Tampa Bay successfully snuffed out the Rams' rushing attack; Corum and Kyren Williams combined for just 70 yards and no touchdowns on 19 attempts. After seeing double-digit touches for a three-week stretch, Corum's usage has dropped the past two weeks, with just 15 rushing attempts for 34 yards in that span. The Rams travel to take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 13, and they have been middle-of-the-road against the run in 2025, surrendering 113.1 yards per game on the ground.

Tahj Brooks RB | CIN
Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Won't play in Week 13
Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that Brooks (concussion) won't play in Thursday night's matchup against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
The rookie running back from Texas Tech sustained a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Thursday. Brooks has appeared in all 11 of the Bengals' games this season, rushing nine times for 28 yards while also contributing on special teams (130 snaps). While he's out in Week 13, expect Gary Brightwell to have an expanded role in the backfield.

Ameer Abdullah RB | IND
Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Plans just four snaps on offense
Abdullah did not have a carry and failed to bring in a catch on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.
Abdullah played just four snaps on offense as Indy used Jonathan Taylor on 46 of the offense's 51 snaps despite giving him just 16 rushing attempts. Abdullah looks ahead of Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens in the backup role, though that order may change if Taylor is injured.

Kaleb Johnson RB | PIT
Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Doesn't see field against Chicago
Johnson didn't take the field during Sunday's 31-28 loss to Chicago.
Johnson had been limited to single-digit offensive snaps in each of Pittsburgh's last three games, but he was held off the field altogether during Sunday's road loss. Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell continue to serve as the Steelers' top two running backs, and Johnson has been unable to carve out a fantasy-relevant role to begin his rookie year.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Will practice all week
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Irving (shoulder/foot) will participate in all practice activities Week 13 and be cleared to suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals as he avoids any setbacks in that span, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Irving has been listed as a limited participant in five consecutive practices, and it sounds like even if he isn't able to upgrade to full reps Week 13, he'll be poised to return to action as long as he holds up well. The health of quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder), who is feared to have suffered an AC joint sprain during Tampa Bay's loss to the Rams in Week 12, is another significant variable looming over the Buccaneers' offense. While clarity on Irving's status may not arrive until Friday, Mayfield is undergoing an MRI on Monday, the results of which should be disclosed before long.

Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: No touches vs. Dallas
Shipley accumulated 106 kick-return yards and played seven of the Eagles' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
The 23-year-old from Clemson played more offensive snaps than Tank Bigsby (three) but still didn't record an offensive touch. Shipley has now gone without a carry in four of the Eagles' last six games, indicating he's operating as the team's No. 3 running back. He's expected to continue contributing as one of Philadelphia's top kick returners in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Minimal output in loss
Bigsby rushed once for eight yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
The third-year back from Auburn played just three offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss, his lowest total since the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Bigsby has appeared in 10 games since joining the Eagles in early September, rushing 18 times for 164 yards while also accumulating 187 kick-return yards. He's expected to continue operating as the team's No. 2 running back in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

Terrell Jennings RB | NE
Patriots' Terrell Jennings: One carry Sunday
Jennings, who was on the field for only three of 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, gained zero yards on his only carry.
With Rhamondre Stevenson back in the mix Sunday following a three-game absence, Jennings worked as New England's No. 3 RB in a backfield led by TreVeyon Henderson. As long as both Henderson and Stevenson are available, Jennings won't have a path to steady playing time or touches in New England's offense.
