Felton (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Saturday's game against the Saints.

Felton helped fill in for the Browns' injury-depleted receiving corps the past three games. However, the 24-year-old will now be ruled a healthy scratch for the fourth time in seven weeks, as wideouts Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, David Bell and Michael Woods are all set to play Saturday.

Drake (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Falcons.

Now that the Baltimore backfield has returned to full strength in recent weeks with both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards moving past their respective injuries, Drake could begin to find himself on the inactive list on a regular basis the rest of the way. Though Drake has often received carries ahead of third-stringer Justice Hill when one or both of Dobbins or Edwards has been absent this season, Hill will be active over Drake for the second week in a row due to his ability to contribute on special teams.

Dallas (ankle) is listed as active Saturday at Kansas City.

The same can be said for fellow running back Kenneth Walker, who didn't practice all week due to an ankle injury and what coach Pete Carroll referred to as back spasms. Dallas himself has missed the last two games with a high-ankle issue, something that kept him to limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. While Dallas appears to be healthier than Walker at the moment, an available Walker likely will be the headliner out of Seattle's backfield Saturday, with Travis Homer and Dallas as the reserve options.

Reynolds (coach's decision) will be inactive for Saturday's game against the Panthers.

With D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams and Justin Jackson ahead of him on the depth chart and healthy, Reynolds will be the odd-man-out Saturday. The 26-year-old has suited up for six games this season, but has not suited up since Week 8.

Stevenson (ankle) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

Stevenson was listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders but suited up and recorded 19 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown and two catches for minus-4 yards. He'll continue to play through his ankle issue Saturday, and barring any in-game setbacks, he'll continue to log the bulk of the work in a New England backfield that's still without Damien Harris (thigh), with rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris available to provide support.

Harris (thigh) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

With Harris -- who last saw game action in Week 12 -- still unavailable, Rhamondre Stevenson will continue to pace the Patriots' backfield Saturday as long as his ankle holds up, with rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris on hand to work in complementary roles. Harris' next chance to see game action will arrive in Week 17 against the Dolphins.

Walker (ankle/back) is active for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

Though Walker sat out practices Tuesday through Thursday due to his pair of injuries and ended up taking a questionable tag into the weekend, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll indicated the running back would play Saturday. Carroll's prediction will ultimately come to pass after Walker avoided the inactive list, but it's unclear if the rookie will be limited to any degree while he's still banged up. After sitting out the Seahawks' Week 14 loss to the Panthers, Walker didn't have any major restrictions with his workload in the Week 15 loss to the 49ers, as he accounted for 79 yards on 16 touches (12 carries, four receptions) while taking on a 75 percent snap share.

Evans (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Patriots.

With Joe Mixon, Samaje Perine and Trayveon Williams ahead of him on the depth chart and active, Evans will again be a healthy scratch for the Bengals. The 25-year-old has suited up just four times this season and has not suited up since Week 13.

Walker (ankle/back), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Kansas City after not practicing in any capacity this week, is still expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters as much Thursday, but it didn't stop Seattle from elevating two running backs (Godwin Igwebuike and Wayne Gallman) from the practice squad Friday. With Rapoport relaying that Walker is still on pace to play, however, it's possible that the addition of Gallman may have been in anticipation of an absence from DeeJay Dallas (ankle), who is also listed as questionable. Igwebuike, meanwhile, appears to have established himself as Seattle's top kickoff returner and might have been summoned from the practice squad even if both Walker and Dallas approached the weekend without designations. Regardless, fantasy managers planning on using Walker this week will still want to confirm that he isn't included on Seattle's inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Harris (thigh) who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bengals, is viewed as a game-time decision for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rapoport adds that Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is likely to be available versus Cincinnati, while the status of Harris -- who last saw game action in Week 12 -- could hinge on how he feels in warmups. Fortunately for those considering either of the two running backs in Week 16 lineups, the Patriots kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday.
