Badie reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday.

Badie was elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers but was inactive for the contest. He'll now wait for another opportunity to be elevated to the active roster.

Nwangwu had two carries for three yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas. He also had one kickoff return for 31 yards.

Nwangwu played three snaps on offense as he got time as the backup running back with Alexander Mattison suffering a sprained ankle. Nwangwu could get increased playing time this week as the backup to Ty Chandler if Mattison is out.

Sermon had three carries for 13 yards in Sunday's loss at Cinncinati.

Sermon played just three snaps on offense while Tyler Goodson played on six snaps. It's not clear Sermon would be the lead back if both Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor (thumb) were out.

Dillon will start at running back for the Packers on Monday at the Giants with Aaron Jones (knee) inactive, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

For a third week in a row, Dillon dealt with a groin injury that capped his activity level Thursday and Friday, but he logged a full session Saturday and sidestepped a designation for Week 14. He'll again lead the Packers backfield Monday with Jones missing a third straight game, but it should be noted that the latter made some notable progress in his recovery from a sprained MCL by managing limited practices this week. While Green Bay awaits Jones' return to the lineup, Dillon will look to build upon the 32 carries for 121 yards and four catches (on four targets) for 52 yards that he's managed the past two contests.

Jones (knee) is inactive for Monday's contest at the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

After failing to practice at all during Week 12 and 13 prep, Jones mixed back into drills as a limited participant Thursday through Saturday and was given a questionable designation for Week 14. Still, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Monday morning that Jones wasn't in line to return from the sprained MCL that he sustained Week 11. With Jones' lack of availability now confirmed, AJ Dillon will continue to pace the Packers backfield, while Patrick Taylor and the elevated Kenyan Drake are on hand for any RB reps that remain. Jones will turn his focus to getting healthy for Sunday's upcoming matchup with the Buccaneers.

Scott rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Dallas.

Scott got the ball on every single one of his offensive snaps, but that stat gets less impressive when his snap count sits at just three. Two of those three snaps came on the final two plays of the game, garbage-time runs up the middle with the Eagles down three scores.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mitchell (knee) has a chance to play Sunday at Arizona, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Mitchell is no stranger to knee injuries in his three-year career, and he again missed another contest Sunday against the Seahawks. After failing to practice at all last week, he'll need to mix into drills in some capacity once the 49ers resume practicing later this week to have a chance to return to the lineup. Mitchell is averaging just 5.3 touches per game this season operating behind workhorse running back Christian McCaffrey, giving him little utility in the fantasy realm.

Gainwell rushed four times for 28 yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Cowboys.

Gainwell's rushing yards represented his highest total since the third week of the season, but he also went without a reception for just the second time all year. The only time he's finished with more than 50 yards from scrimmage this season came back in Week 1, so his fantasy appeal remains limited.

Dallas didn't record a touch in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers. He returned two kicks for 53 yards and one punt for eight yards.

Kenneth Walker (oblique) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) were both active in this contest, so Dallas logged just one offensive snap. He'll remain the No. 3 running back until further notice.

Jacobs was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a quad issue.

When Jacobs exited Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings, his departure was attributed to a knee injury. In any case, the running back's listed quad concern makes his status worth tracking closely as Thursday night's game against the Chargers approaches. If Jacobs is unavailable for the contest or limited at all, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah would be next in line for added backfield touches for the Raiders in Week 15.
