  • Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Gets two carries in blowout loss

    Ogunbowale played 16 of 56 snaps on offense, and carried twice for seven yards and hauled in one of his two targets for a four-yard reception in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets.

    Both of Ogunbowale's targets and carries came in Houston's final two offensive possessions, when the team was trailing by three touchdowns. In more competitive contests, Ogunbowale's playing time will likely be contained mostly to special teams, while Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce dominate the snaps at running back.

  • Travis Homer RB | PIT

    Bears' Travis Homer: Limited to special-teams work

    Homer played all 17 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Lions.

    Homer has been deployed exclusively on special teams over the Bears' last five games. Though he's shown some ability as a pass catcher during his time with Seattle over the past four seasons, Homer is unlikely to garner any opportunities as the team's third-down back while all of D'Onta Foreman, Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson are available.

  • Bears' Khari Blasingame: Accounts for negative yardage in win

    Blasingame hauled in his lone target for minus-three yards while playing 14 of 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Lions.

    Blasingame has suited up for each of the Bears' last three games after missing a Week 10 win over Carolina while recovering from a concussion. The reception the fullback recorded Sunday was just his third of the season, as he's been deployed primarily as a blocker whenever he's taken the field with the offense.

  • Raiders' Brandon Bolden: Yet to play on offense

    Bolden played all 22 of his snaps on special teams Sunday in the Raiders' 3-0 loss to the Vikings.

    Bolden has been active for all 13 of the Raiders' games this season, but he has yet to see any snaps on offense. Though Bolden's status as a core special-teams contributor will likely ensure that he's active when healthy, he'll continue to rank a distant fourth behind Josh Jacobs (quadricep), Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White in the pecking order at backfield. However, with Jacobs having been listed as a nonparticipant on the Raiders' first two Week 15 injury reports and perhaps at risk of being held out or limited in Thursday's game against the Chargers, Bolden could have his best opportunity to date to factor into the mix on offense.

  • Eric Gray RB | NYG

    Giants' Eric Gray: Barely plays Monday

    Gray played one of the Giants' 56 snaps on offense in Monday's 24-22 win over the Packers.

    Since being reinstated from injured reserve Nov. 25 after missing four games with a calf issue, Gray has suited up for the Giants' subsequent two contests, but he's logged just three snaps on offense. He'll likely struggle to find playing time at running back while both Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida are healthy.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Listed as non-participant Tuesday

    Jacobs (quadricep) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through session.

    The Raiders conducted walk-through sessions Monday and Tuesday to begin Week 15 prep, but Jacobs would have had his reps managed had the team held traditional practices. Jacobs exited this past Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings in the fourth quarter with what was at the time deemed a knee injury and finished the day with 13 carries for 34 yards and two receptions for 16 yards.

  • Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Three carries in loss

    Patterson rushed three times for seven yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Patterson played just 12 of the Falcons' 72 offensive snaps Sunday while continuing his role as Atlanta's No. 3 running back. The veteran's three rushing attempts were his fewest since Week 10 as he sees the field in relief of both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Barring injuries to Robinson and Allgeier, Patterson's fantasy utility is extremely limited. The 32-year-old should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Falcons visit the Panthers in Week 15.

  • Ty Johnson RB | BUF

    Bills' Ty Johnson: Seven touches against Chiefs

    Johnson rushed five times for 19 yards and caught both of his targets for two yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.

    Johnson played 15 of the Bills' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, his most in seven games this season. The veteran's seven touches in the contest were also a season high. With that said, Johnson is not seeing enough consistent usage to produce for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Bills host the Cowboys in Week 15.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Listed as non-participant

    Jacobs (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    The Raiders conducted walk-through sessions Monday and Tuesday to begin Week 15 prep, but Jacobs would have had his reps managed had the team held traditional practices. Jacobs exited this past Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings in the fourth quarter with what was at the time deemed a knee injury and finished the day with 13 carries for 34 yards and two receptions for 16 yards.

  • Bills' Latavius Murray: Modest production in win

    Murray gained nine yards on three carries and caught his lone target for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.

    Murray continued his role as the Bills' No. 2 running back behind James Cook, playing 32 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps Sunday. While Cook played the most snaps (34) of any running back and handled the most touches (15), Murray was used sparingly in relief of his teammate. The 33-year-old's limited opportunities put a cap on his ability to produce consistently in Buffalo's offense. Murray will be an untrustworthy option for fantasy purposes when Bills host the Cowboys in Week 15.
