Barkley rushed 20 times for 86 yards and two touchdowns and secured three of four targets for 15 yards in the Giants' 24-22 win over the Packers on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

Barkley handled his usual workload with considerable success, posting five- and one-yard touchdown runs in the second and third quarter, respectively. His carry total was his highest since Week 8, while his yardage tally qualified as his best in the last four contests. The dynamic back has at least three catches in all but two games this season and he should be in for another busy afternoon in a Week 15 road battle against the Saints.

Achane rushed seven times for 47 yards while catching five of nine targets for 24 yards in Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans.

Achane played second fiddle on the ground to Raheem Mostert, who rushed 21 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie running back actually led Miami in targets as star receiver Tyreek Hill was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, but Achane wasn't nearly as effective at getting into the open field without a healthy Hill on hand to divert the defense's attention. This was the first time in seven NFL appearances that Achane finished with double digits in yards from scrimmage, as he previously had two games with fewer than 10 and four with over 100. He'll likely continue to work in a prominent change-of-pace role behind Mostert in Week 15 against the Jets.

Mostert rushed 21 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns while catching his lone target for four yards in Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans.

Mostert helped Miami work the ball down to the 2-yard line on its first drive, only to watch Tua Tagovailoa squander the red-zone opportunity with a fumble. The Dolphins made no mistake after being handed consecutive short fields by Tennessee fumbles in the fourth quarter, as Mostert scored from three and five yards one minute apart to give his team a 27-13 lead with 4:34 remaining. It was all Titans after that, though, as the visitors scored the game's final 15 points to pick up their first road win of the season and hand the Dolphins their first home loss. Mostert finished with 21 carries to De'Von Achane's seven, so the veteran running back is operating as the top rushing option in Miami's speedy backfield heading into a Week 15 visit from the Jets, whom Mostert burned for two touchdowns Week 12.

Spears rushed the ball seven times for 29 yards in Monday's 28-27 win over Miami. He added six receptions on eight targets for 89 yards.

Spears had only 23 yards from scrimmage in the first half, but he emerged as a favorite target of Will Levis in the final 17 minutes of game time. That began with a 30-yard catch that set up a field goal at the end of the third quarter. Spears then delivered long catches of 21 and 12 yards on a touchdown drive to bring the Titans within one score in the middle of the fourth quarter. Overall, he managed at least 100 yards from scrimmage for the second consecutive game, with Monday's effort being particularly promising, as it came in tandem with Derrick Henry also seeing 18 touches.

Henry rushed the ball 17 times for 34 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 28-27 win over Miami. He added one reception on two targets for 17 yards.

The Titans were surprisingly in a neutral game script for much of the matchup, which allowed Henry to maintain the majority of the work out of the team's backfield. He was bottled up on the ground for the entire contest -- his longest rush went for only six yards -- but he managed to find the end zone from one and three yards away. After tallying only four touchdowns across his first 10 games of the season, Henry has now scored six times in the last three contests. He'll face a mediocre Texans' run defense Week 15.

Edmonds rushed eight times for 40 yards and secured both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Edmonds' final numbers are likely indicative of the type of opportunity that many, including the running back himself, figured he'd see on a weekly basis once he was acclimated to the Buccaneers offense. Whether his season-high carry, rushing yardage and receiving yardage totals Sunday are the first sign of a growing role or simply an outlier remains to be seen, but Edmonds draws a friendly matchup on paper against the Packers in Week 15.

McNichols reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

In his 2023 debut, McNichols played six snaps on special teams without recording a stat in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks. He'll now wait for his next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster.

Johnson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday.

Johnson saw playing time on both offense and special teams in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, and he managed to record a tackle while in punt coverage. The 28-year-old is still eligible to be elevated two more times this season.

Prince reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.

Despite the absence of Isiah Pacheco (shoulder), Prince was unable to crack the backfield rotation of Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon. Prince played just five snaps on special teams and none on offense. He'll wait for another opportunity to be elevated, which could happen Week 15 against the Patriots if Pacheco sits out for a second straight game.

The Colts reverted Goodson to the practice squad Monday.

Goodson was elevated for the second straight week with Jonathan Taylor (thumb) out again. Goodson played six snaps on offense and brought in his lone target for minus-2 yards. Goodson is eligible to be elevated from the practice squad one more time this season.
