Abdullah rushed once for 11 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Abdullah's 11-yard carry came on the final play of the first half, but he was held without a single touch throughout the second half while starter Josh Jacobs handled a bulk of the work out of the Raiders' backfield. Abdullah has six receptions over the team's last five games, though he's yet to find the end zone this season.

Hunt carried seven times for 22 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos in Week 12.

This marked the first time in seven games that Hunt (19 snaps) was limited to single-digit touches. In the wake of Jerome Ford's high-ankle injury in Week 7, Hunt's workload increased to the point where head coach Kevin Stefanski described the two backs as his 1A and 1B. It appears now that Ford (51 snaps, nine rushes, seven targets) is the clear No. 1 back, although Hunt's red-zone usage still give him some fantasy appeal. The team's situation at quarterback could also impact how much volume the two RBs see in Week 13. Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson was removed from Sunday's game with a concussion, and Stefanski doesn't have an immediate answer for who will start against the Rams. If DTR is unavailable, that leaves PJ Walker under center, or possibly Joe Flacco off the practice squad.

Spears rushed the ball two times for six yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers. He added one reception on three targets for one yard.

Spears saw his lowest touch total of the season, and he's now been held under 20 rushing yards in four consecutive games. He's shown explosive ability at various points in his rookie campaign, but with such limited opportunity, his contributions on a weekly basis are unreliable.

Breida tallied six yards on two rushes and added a 10-yard reception on his only target in Sunday's 10-7 win over New England.

As usual, Saquon Barkley dominated work out of the backfield for the Giants, leaving just a few scraps for Breida. The backup RB did manage his highest yardage total in four weeks, but that was far from enough to make a meaningful fantasy impact. Breida will continue to see a minimal role as long as Barkley is healthy.

Elliott rushed the ball nine times for 46 yards in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants. He added two receptions on two targets for six yards.

Elliott saw his role spike in Week 10 prior to New England's bye, but that didn't remain the case Sunday against the Giants. Rhamondre Stevenson was particularly effective on the ground, leaving Elliott in more of a true change-of-pace role. Given the limited volume, he'll be reliant upon finding the end zone for the majority of his fantasy value.

Ekeler rushed 10 times for 32 yards and caught five of six targets for 32 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Baltimore.

Ekeler's fumble didn't kill a late comeback attempt like it did in last week's loss the Packers, as that honor went to quarterback Justin Herbert in Week 12, who fumbled in the fourth quarter with the Chargers trailing by just three points. Ekeler has now lost a fumble in consecutive games while tying his previous high in total fumbles (three) despite appearing in just eight games this year. The dual-threat back has also been held to under 4.0 yards per carry in every game other than last week's loss to Green Bay since returning from a high-ankle sprain suffered back in Week 1. Perhaps Ekeler never fully returned to full strength after rushing back from a serious injury for running backs. Whatever the root cause may be, it is becoming painfully obvious that the fantasy star is not living up to his billing heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.

Mitchell carried the ball nine times for 64 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers. He added two catches on two targets for 25 yards.

Mitchell drew the first carry of the game for the Ravens and ultimately led the backfield with 11 touches. As has been the case, he was explosive with the ball in his hands, as his longest rush went for 29 yards, and he also chipped in with a 14-yard reception. Mitchell saw double-digit carries for the second time in his last four games and should continue to see his role expand once the Ravens return from their bye in Week 14.

Edwards rushed the ball eight times for 26 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers. He added one catch on one reception for 11 yards.

Edwards was limited to single-digit carries for only the third time this season, as Lamar Jackson and Keaton Mitchell both outpaced him. The loss of work to Mitchell is particularly concerning, as the rookie has generally been a more efficient runner than Edwards, and he could become more incorporated into the offense down the stretch. Even if that's the case, Edwards should retain his goal-line role, giving him a decent chance to find the end zone on a weekly basis. In fact, Edwards has scored at least one touchdown in five straight games prior to being shut out of the end zone Sunday.

Moss rushed eight times for 55 yards and brought in two of three targets for 15 yards in the Colts' 27-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Despite Jonathan Taylor logging 15 rush attempts, Moss retained a solid complementary role and encouragingly had a modest share of passing game work as well. The fourth-year pro had recorded just eight total carries and zero targets in the last two games before the Colts' Week 11 bye, so his resurgence Sunday was certainly a welcome sight for those still holding onto Moss in deep formats. It remains to be seen if he'll be afforded a similar workload in a Week 13 road matchup against the Titans.

Allgeier rushed 10 times for 64 yards and wasn't targeted during the Falcons' 24-15 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Allgeier played a clear second fiddle to Bijan Robinson, who finished with 16 carries for 91 yards and a touchdown while also contributing a 3-32-1 line through the air. However, Allgeier's numbers were excellent considering his complementary role, and his yardage tally served as his highest since Week 1. Allgeier next faces what has occasionally been a vulnerable Jets run defense in a Week 13 road matchup.
