Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Browns' Nick Chubb: Productive with heavy workload
Chubb rushed 26 times for 116 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 16 yards in the Browns' 23-17 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
The star running back ended up taking on his heaviest workload of the season on the ground, and his final carry was the most critical since it culminated in a game-winning three-yard touchdown. Chubb had to work for his yards most of the afternoon against a talented Buccaneers defense, but he finished with his sixth 100-yard effort of the campaign one week after producing a season-low 19-yard tally against the Bills in Week 11. His productive afternoon also vaulted Chubb over the 1,000-yard mark for the season for the fourth straight year, sending him into a Week 13 road matchup against the vulnerable Texans run defense with plenty of momentum.

Brandon Bolden RB | LV
Raiders' Brandon Bolden: Exits with injury Sunday
Bolden (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Bolden did not log a statistic before exiting at some point during the first half Sunday. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, his absence should leave Zamir White to take on a bigger role behind top running backs Josh Jacobs and Ameer Abdullah.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Underwhelms in premium matchup
Wilson rushed 13 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and secured one of three targets for 13 yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Wilson was lined up for an absolute slam dunk of a matchup on paper, but he encountered a feisty Texans front keyed on slowing him down on most of his carries. The trade-deadline acquisition did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a three-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, and after an incident in which his legs appeared to lock up from cramping early in the second half, Wilson was able to reenter the game. The veteran back has now scored in consecutive games heading into a Week 13 road showdown against his old 49ers teammates.

Michael Carter RB | TEN
Jets' Michael Carter: Likely has ankle sprain
Coach Robert Saleh said Carter likely suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday's 31-10 win against the Bears, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
At the time of his departure in the second half, Carter had six carries for 21 yards and hauled in both of his targets for 15 yards. Saleh noted the Jets will have more information regarding Carter's injury Monday, so testing seemingly is in store to learn its extent. With Breece Hall (knee) on injured reserve and James Robinson a healthy scratch Sunday, Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight were New York's healthy and available running backs by the end of Sunday's contest.

Tyrion Davis-Price RB | GB
49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Remains out Week 12
Davis-Price has been ruled a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Davis-Price will be a healthy inactive for the third game in a row after failing to see the field since the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Rams. With the rookie third-rounder out, Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason will once again slot in as San Francisco's top three backs Week 12.

Michael Carter RB | TEN
Jets' Michael Carter: Exits Sunday's game
Carter was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bears with an ankle injury.
Prior to his exit from the contest, Carter had carried six times for 21 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards. In his absence, added backfield touches are available for Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson.

Ronald Jones RB | DAL
Chiefs' Ronald Jones: Suits up Sunday
Jones is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Jones had been the odd man out in Kansas City's backfield, but with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) now on IR, Jones will rejoin the team's backfield mix Sunday. Until or unless Isiah Pacheco and/or Jerick McKinnon miss any time, however, Jones doesn't have a path to steady volume.

Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: Back in the mix Sunday
White is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
White, who was inactive last weekend, is back in action Sunday, while Brittain Brown will sit this one out. Also in the team's backfield mix in Week 12 are starter Josh Jacobs, Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Suits up Sunday
Jacobs (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Jacobs, who practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, was added to the Raiders' injury report Friday after being limited in practice due to a calf issue. He'll give it a go Sunday, and barring any in-game setbacks, he should continue to lead his team's backfield in Week 12, with Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden and Zamir White available to handle complementary/change-of-pace snaps. Through 10 games to date, Jacobs has handled the bulk of his team's rushing duties, having logged 183 carries for 930 yards and four touchdowns to go along with 34 catches for 251 yards in that span.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Injures foot Sunday
Etienne was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with a foot injury.
Etienne missed last season with a Lisfranc injury but hadn't sat out any games heading into Week 12. Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, the 2021 first-rounder had carried twice for three yards. With newcomer Darrell Henderson inactive, JaMycal Hasty and Snoop Conner are next up for the Jaguars' carries versus Baltimore.
