  • Deon Jackson RB | DET

    Colts' Deon Jackson: Just two carries in loss

    Jackson had two carries for six yards in Sunday's loss at Dallas.

    Jackson played on eight of the offense's 72 snaps. He's the clear backup to Jonathan Taylor after the trade of Nyheim Hines to Buffalo, but Taylor is playing nearly every down under new head coach Jeff Saturday.

  • Zack Moss RB | CIN

    Colts' Zack Moss: Gets a few carries in blowout

    Moss had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's loss at Dallas.

    Moss played just five snaps on offense as he got carries late amid a blowout loss. Despite his trade to the Colts, he's buried on the depth chart behind starter Jonathan Taylor and Deon Jackson.

  • Boston Scott RB | PIT

    Eagles' Boston Scott: Six carries and one catch

    Scott carried the ball six times for 16 yards and caught one pass for five more yards in Sunday's big win over the Titans.

    Scott had just four fewer carries and eight fewer yards than starting running back Miles Sanders, but that's primarily thanks to the fact that the Eagles had so much success in the passing game that they didn't need to do much on the ground. Scott has now reached seven touches twice this season but has yet to receive more than that.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Six touches in blowout win

    Gainwell gained 15 yards on three carries and added 38 more yards on a trio of receptions in Sunday's 35-10 win over Tennessee.

    Gainwell averaged 3.9 touches through the Eagles' first 10 games, but he's now averaged 7.5 touches across the team's last two contests. While that's a noticeable trend in the right direction, Gainwell's workload remains far too low for him to be a reliable fantasy option.

  • Chargers' Isaiah Spiller: Active but absent

    Spiller was active for Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Raiders, but did not record a snap.

    Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley wound up as the only two running backs to take a snap in Sunday's loss. At this point, it's obvious the rookie's role has completely evaporated with the return of Kelley, and that's unlikely to change with the Chargers still in playoff contention.

  • Joshua Kelley RB | TEN

    Chargers' Joshua Kelley: Solid despite loss

    Kelley carried the ball seven times for 30 yards and failed to catch his only target Sunday in the 27-20 loss to the Raiders.

    Kelley was the Chargers' most efficient runner, leading the team in yards per carry during a game in which the run game as whole struggled mightily. Even though the 25-year-old running back did not light up the stat sheet, this game was still reassuring for his value since he established himself as the clear-cut backup to Austin Ekeler, as they were the only two backs to touch the ball.

  • Ronald Jones RB | DAL

    Chiefs' Ronald Jones: Not involved versus Bengals

    Jones had zero carries during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bengals.

    Jones made his mark on the box score in Week 12 but didn't enjoy similar involvement Sunday, logging just three total snaps. Both Jerick McKinnon (26 snaps) and Isiah Pacheco (25 snaps) are ahead of Jones in the pecking order, so there's not much upside at this point.

  • Marlon Mack RB | ARI

    Broncos' Marlon Mack: Minimal involvement in loss

    Mack rushed two times for three yards and secured his only target for six yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Mack played just five of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 3 running back. The veteran recorded two rushes and one catch in each of his first two games with Denver. With Latavius Murray dominating touches out of the backfield and Mike Boone slotting in as the team's top backup, Mack's opportunities for meaningful production should remain limited going forward. Barring injuries to Murray and Boone, the 26-year-old should be far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14.

  • Mike Boone RB | MIA

    Broncos' Mike Boone: Limited role in return

    Boone rushed six times for 18 yards and secured his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Boone operated as Denver's No. 2 running back behind Latavius Murray, who handled 17 carries in the contest. In the backup role, Boone played just 12 of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps. The veteran likely faces an uphill battle to fantasy relevance with Denver's continued ineffectiveness on offense. Boone's potential contributions as a pass catcher also seem to be in danger with Murray tied for the second-most targets in the Denver passing game Sunday. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old should remain in his role as a change-of-pace back when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14, though he is extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Minimal work Sunday

    Hill had one carry for two yards and added two receptions for four yards Sunday against the Broncos.

    Hill and Gus Edwards played the same number of snaps (17) but Edwards was more involved with six carries. Meanwhile, Kenyan Drake played the most snaps among the Ravens running backs and led the backfield with seven rushes for 29 yards. The offense was facing a tough matchup, but the fact remains that the team mustered just 281 total yards with Tyler Huntley at quarterback. If Jackson is out Sunday against the Steelers, the offense could be hemmed in once again.
