Mattison rushed 10 times for 52 yards and secured both targets for 11 yards in the Vikings' 12-10 loss to the Bears on Monday. He also fumbled once but recovered the ball.

Mattison led the Vikings in rushing yards and averaged over 5.0 yards per carry for just the second time this season with the help of a 21-yard run. The veteran back also saw two targets for the fourth straight contest, and his rushing yardage total qualified as his second highest since Week 4. Mattison notably outpaced Ty Chandler by six carries, sending the former into the Week 13 bye in control of the No. 1 running back role before a favorable Week 14 road matchup versus the Raiders.

Edmonds rushed once for 11 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

The reserve running back saw just five snaps on offense compared to 10 on special teams, underscoring how dominant a grip Rachaad White retains on the No. 1 role in Tampa Bay's backfield. Edmonds hasn't even been able to take advantage of the Buccaneers' frequent negative game scripts over their multi-week struggles, as White is a highly capable receiver in his own right and therefore often negates the need for Edmonds to be deployed on passing downs.

The Saints reverted Prentice to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Prentice was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 12 loss to Atlanta and played on eight offensive snaps without recording any stats. The fullback also logged eight special-teams snaps and was credited with one assisted tackle in punt coverage. Prentice was on New Orleans' 53-man roster earlier in the campaign and totaled one rush for five yards and one catch on two targets for five yards over six games.

Walker (oblique) didn't practice Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

After suffering a strained oblique in Week 11's game against the Rams, Walker was inactive for last Thursday's loss to the 49ers. He's opening Week 13 prep having apparently made little progress, but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll did note Friday that the team was hoping Walker would be able to play Thursday in Dallas even if he doesn't get in much on-field work this week, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. If Walker is sidelined again, Zach Charbonnet will be set to lead Seattle's backfield against the Cowboys, with DeeJay Dallas mixing in as well.

Perine reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.

Perine saw time on both offense and defense during Kansas City's win over the Raiders on Sunday but failed to record any stats. Though two games played this season, the 25-year-old has carried the ball just once for a one-yard gain and failed to bring in his only target.

Scott rushed twice for 14 yards and was targeted once with an incomplete pass in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over Buffalo.

The game went into overtime, but Scott saw the field for a total of just five offensive snaps, indicating that he remains a minor part of the Eagles' game plan. He's topped out at 10 offensive snaps in a game this season, and that came all the way back in Week 2.

Gainwell finished Sunday's 37-34 overtime win against the Bills with two carries for 26 yards and two catches for 10 yards.

The game lasted an additional seven-plus minutes, but Gainwell still didn't play much of a role, finishing with fewer than five touches for the third consecutive game. He averaged 16.5 touches in his first two games of the season but has now averaged just 5.3 touches over his last eight contests. Gainwell did have a key 23-yard run to set up a sneak by Jalen Hurts for the first score of the game, but his lack of volume gives him little fantasy appeal.

McLaughlin rushed twice for four yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.

McLaughlin played just two of the Broncos' 67 offensive snaps, his lowest snap total of the season. Additionally, the rookie failed to see a single target for the first time since Week 3. As Javonte Williams continues to dominate backfield snaps and Samaje Perine has carved out a more significant backup role, McLaughlin isn't earning enough opportunities to be a consistent contributor. The 23-year-old's fantasy potential remains limited as the Broncos enter a Week 13 matchup with the Texans.

Dowdle (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

That he was still bothered by his ankle would serve as a reasonable explanation for his limited usage in Week 12, when he played just nine offensive snaps. It doesn't seem like he's in any real danger of missing Thursday's game versus the Seahawks, but if he can't practice in full Tuesday or Wednesday, he could project for another diminished workload in Week 13.

Hill carried five times for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

Hill's role remains diminished with Keaton Mitchell's ascent in the offense as the veteran played just 29 percent of the snaps Sunday. He has not played more than 30 percent of the snaps since Week 9 against the Seahawks. Hill was effective on a per-carry basis against the Chargers, but there appears to be a cap on his weekly volume projection with Mitchell, Gus Edwards and Lamar Jackson taking on the bulk of the backfield work. The Ravens are on a bye Week 13 before returning to action Sunday, Dec. 10 against the Rams.
