Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Leading rusher and receiver again
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.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Ravens' Derrick Henry: Scores twice in Week 12 win
Henry rushed 21 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Jets.
Henry averaged a modest 3.0 yards per carry but powered in his eighth and ninth rushing touchdowns of the season on a pair of two-yard runs in the third quarter. He has recorded at least 20 touches in six consecutive games heading into Thursday night's home game against the league-worst Bengals run defense.

Emanuel Wilson RB | GB
Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Big workload in win
Wilson rushed 28 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in both targets for 18 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Wilson drew the start in place of Josh Jacobs (knee) and handled a workload befitting his sidelined teammate, as the former logged a career-high carry total. Wilson clawed his way to his first career 100-yard game in the process, and he got into the end zone on a pair of one-yard scoring runs in the first and third quarters. Jacobs has a decent chance to be available for a critical road matchup against the Lions on Thanksgiving, but if the latter is held out, the Packers will certainly have confidence in Wilson's ability to handle a lead-back role for a second straight game.

Tahj Brooks RB | CIN
Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Enters concussion protocol
Brooks has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Brooks has entered the league's concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff and will not return. Practice squad running back Gary Brightwell will serve as Chase Brown's backup the rest of the way due to the absences of Brooks and Samaje Perine (ankle). Looking ahead, Brooks is in jeopardy of being sidelined for the Bengals' Thanksgiving Day clash against the Ravens.

AJ Dillon RB | PHI
Eagles' AJ Dillon: Healthy scratch Sunday
Dillon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
The running back last suited up in Week 6 against the Giants. Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley remain ahead of him on the depth chart.
-
Jaydon Blue RB | DAL
Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Healthy scratch again
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
The running back is now a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game. Blue has been the third running back on Dallas' depth chart since committing a fumble in Week 8, with Malik Davis taking his spot behind starter Javonte Williams. Blue has also gained just 65 yards on 22 carries this year.
-
Nate Carter RB | ATL
Falcons' Nathan Carter: Won't play Week 12
Carter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Carter will be a healthy scratch for the second time in the Falcons' last three games, which leaves Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier as the two active running backs for Sunday's NFC South tilt. Carter's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Audric Estime RB | NO
Saints' Audric Estime: Healthy scratch Week 12
Estime (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Estime joined the Saints' active roster in early November to provide the Saints with more backfield depth after Kendre Miller tore his ACL in mid-October. Estime saw five snaps (three on offense, two on special teams) in Week 10 against the Panthers, but he will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's NFC South clash. That leaves Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal as the Saints' two running backs on the active roster for Week 12. Estime's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Suiting up again in Week 12
Kamara (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.
Kamara has been listed with an ankle injury on Saints practice reports since early October, but he suited up for each of the team's five games before a Week 11 bye, racking up 69 touches for 282 yards from scrimmage and no TDs during that span. He'll continue to operate as New Orleans' lead runner Sunday, though backup Devin Neal did notch 14 touches for 54 total yards over the last three outings.

Tahj Brooks RB | CIN
Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Possible concussion
Brooks is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Brooks appeared to get shaken up on the opening kickoff of the second half and is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. With Samaje Perine (ankle) inactive, practice squad running back Gary Brightwell will provide backfield depth behind Chase Brown for as long as Brooks is out of the game.
