Gibson took four carries for 15 yards and caught each of his five targets for 20 yards in a 28-20 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

He surprisingly didn't get more playing time in the absence of Brian Robinson (hamstring), with Gibson's 45 percent snap share lining up with his season-long rate of 46 percent. The Commanders instead used Chris Rodriguez (10 carries for 35 yards) as their lead runner and also gave Jonathan Williams some playing time (13 snaps, 22 percent), though Williams eventually left due to a concussion. Gibson might have more appeal in Week 16 against the Jets if both Robinson and Williams are inactive, but even that scenario isn't a guarantee of anything after his disappointing Week 15 results.

Hunt rushed for eight yards on seven carries and caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears.

The combined yards were the fewest since Week 4, as the Bears shut down the Browns' rushing attack. Three of Hunt's carries came in the red zone, including a rush from the two-yard line, but he was unable to log what would have been his eighth TD. While Hunt plays second fiddle to Jerome Ford in terms of carries and playing time, his seven rushing touchdowns lead Cleveland.

Breida rushed three times for 10 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to New Orleans.

New York struggled to gain traction on the ground against a stout New Orleans defensive front, and the team turned to the air more frequently than usual in the second half while playing catch-up. As a result, quarterback Tommy DeVito led the team with 36 rushing yards on the day, while top running back Saquon Barkley gained just 14 yards on nine carries. In that context, Breida's 10 yards on three rushes wasn't entirely disastrous, especially given that his longest carry of the day (for five yards) went one yard further than Barkley's. Of course, there's no running back competition here, and though Breida is the clear No. 2 back for the Giants, he has very little fantasy viability as long as Barkley is healthy.

Head coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's win over the Jaguars that Gordon will be added to the Ravens' 53-man roster this week, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

After Keaton Mitchell was believed to have sustained a season-ending knee injury during Sunday's win, the Ravens need additional backfield depth. Gordon appeared in two games for the Ravens earlier this season and rushed 13 times for 53 yards while securing all three of his targets for 46 yards. While Baltimore still has Gus Edwards and Justice Hill available out of the backfield, Gordon could have a chance to carve out a role down the stretch.

Etienne took 10 carries for 31 yards and caught four of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

Etienne was cleared of the rib injury designation that had plagued him in recent weeks, but the improved health did not result in improved results on the field. The 24-year-old finished with a per-carry average below four yards for the eighth time over his last nine games. He has helped offset those shortcomings as a rusher by averaging 3.3 receptions and 29.7 receiving yards over that same timeframe. Etienne still maintains a stranglehold on the starting job in Jacksonville heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars that Mitchell suffered a serious left knee injury and will likely miss the remainder of the season, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.

Mitchell went down in the fourth quarter and was carted to the locker room. The elusive runner had 73 rushing yards on just nine carries prior to getting hurt Sunday, and Mitchell will likely finish his rookie season with an average of 8.4 yards per carry (396 yards on 47 attempts). An official move placing Mitchell on injured reserve could be coming shortly if Harbaugh's pessimistic prognostication is confirmed.

Edwards rushed 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars.

Edwards came just short of scoring his 11th touchdown of the season on a second-quarter carry by the goal line. He was brought down just outside the end zone, and a post-play personal foul moved Baltimore's offensive back 15 yards, setting the stage for a 16-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to Isaiah Likely on the next play. Edwards made no mistake with his next goal-line opportunity in the fourth quarter, powering in a one-yard touchdown run to extend Baltimore's lead to 17-7. After scoring nine touchdowns in a five-game span, Edwards rushed just 14 times for 41 yards without a touchdown over the next two games, but he bounced back while handling his heaviest workload since Week 8. Edwards could continue to see elevated usage against the 49ers in Week 16, as fellow running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win with what looked like a serious injury.

Allgeier rushed 14 times for 45 yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Falcons' 9-7 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Allgeier doubled up rookie backfield mate Bijan Robinson in carries on the afternoon with a tally that was also Allgeier's highest since Week 7. The 2022 fifth-round pick continues to enjoy a solid role even on weeks when Robinson is much more involved -- Allgeier hasn't seen fewer than eight carries since Week 4 -- but the division of labor in Atlanta's backfield remains difficult to trust heading into a Week 16 home matchup against the Colts.

Conner rushed 14 times for 86 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for three yards in Sunday's 45-29 loss to San Francisco.

Conner followed up his best fantasy performance of the season against his old club last week with another strong outing in Week 15. It was especially impressive considering that the 49ers boast the third-stingiest run defense in the league. Conner has contributed 191 rushing yards and three touchdowns over his last two games afterproviding modest results in the three games prior following his return from IR. The bruising back is gaining momentum at a crucial point of the fantasy schedule, making him a hot commodity heading into next Sunday's tilt against Chicago.

Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Mitchell was ruled out shortly after being carted to the locker room in the fourth quarter. Based on the initial reaction to his injury, Mitchell could be looking at a multi-week absence, though the severity of his injury will likely be clarified soon. If Mitchell doesn't play in Week 16 against the 49ers, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill would be in line to lead Baltimore's backfield.
