  • Zamir White RB | NO

    Raiders' Zamir White: Rushes once in win

    White rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

    White has yet to log more than five offensive snaps in a single contest this year, continuing to spend his rookie campaign buried behind bell cow Josh Jacobs and pass-down specialist Ameer Abdullah. Since Week 13, White has taken six carries for just 19 yards in three games.

  • Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC

    Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Racks up 111 kickoff return yards

    Abdullah caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. He also returned five kickoffs for 111 yards.

    Abdullah's offensive role remained limited to passing situations as workhorse Josh Jacobs handled 24 touches for 110 total yards Sunday. Abdullah has seen four targets over the Raiders' last two games ahead of a Week 16 tilt in Pittsburgh.

  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Finds end zone in key win

    Cook carried five times for 34 yards and caught two of three targets for five yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-29 win over the Dolphins.

    The TD catch was the first of Cook's NFL career, as he continues to have a decent-sized role behind starter Devin Singletary in a high-powered offense. While Cook has seen only nine carries over the past two games, he has now put up at least eight fantasy points in three of the past five contests, not bad production for a backup running back. The real fantasy jackpot could come if the Bills -- currently the top seed in the AFC -- are able to rest some starters for the final game of the season, and inexperienced players like Cook get a heavy Week 18 workload.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Packers' Aaron Jones: Rushing leader on MNF

    Jones rushed 17 times for 90 yards (one fumble lost) and caught four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-12 win over the Rams.

    Jones took full advantage of the absence of Aaron Donald (ankle) on Monday, gashing the opposition for his highest rushing total since Week 10. The 28-year-old's lone blemish was a lost fumble that occurred when he was turtle-shelled on top of a Los Angeles defender and stripped by Jalen Ramsey. Co-starter AJ Dillon (11-36-2) left the game in the second half with a concussion and did not return. Jones would be in line for a hefty workload if Dillon isn't cleared ahead the Packers' Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins on Christmas Day.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Rams' Cam Akers: Finishes with 90 total yards Monday

    Akers rushed 12 times for 65 yards and brought in all three targets for 35 yards in the Rams' 24-12 loss to the Packers on Monday night.

    Akers was about the only bright spot for the Rams' mostly moribund offense, with the third-year back making an impact from his team's very first play. Akers ripped off a 15-yard gain on that initial carry, and he was also responsible for 23 total yards on Los Angeles' third possession, which culminated in the team's first points of the game, a 33-yard Matt Gay field goal. Akers ultimately finished with team highs in both rushing and receiving yards in a game where he saw multiple targets for only the second time all season, and he'll head into a Week 16 home matchup against the Broncos on Christmas Day with a trio of tallies of at least 60 rushing yards in the last five contests.

  • AJ Dillon RB | CAR

    Packers' AJ Dillon: Possibly concussed after two TDs

    Dillon is being evaluated for a concussion Monday against the Rams.

    Dillon's return can be considered questionable at this time. Prior to getting injured, he rushed 11 times for 36 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 35 yards. Aaron Jones should lead Green Bay's backfield for the remainder of Monday's game.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Five touches in Week 15 win

    Gainwell rushed three times for five yards and caught two passes for nine yards in Sunday's win over the Bears.

    Gainwell didn't have a particularly notable game, though it was at least a step up from his one-touch, zero-yard performance the previous week. More significantly, he saw the field for 29 offensive snaps compared to just four for No. 3 running back Boston Scott. Should the Eagles clinch the top seed in the NFC next week, they may elect to rest their starters, with Gainwell seemingly in line to benefit.

  • Boston Scott RB | PIT

    Eagles' Boston Scott: Barely sees field

    Scott did not receive a touch in Sunday's win over the Bears.

    Scott recorded a season-high seven touches in each of the previous two weeks, but he saw the field for just four offensive snaps this time around. He did at least make some impact on the game, as his 58-yard kickoff return to open the second half led to a quick touchdown. Fellow depth running back Kenneth Gainwell was on the field for 29 offensive snaps, which means he's probably the guy to get for those speculating that Miles Sanders could be rested Week 18.

  • Titans' Hassan Haskins: Three touches in loss to Chargers

    Haskins recorded one rush for eight yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers. He added two receptions on two targets for seven yards.

    Haskins operated as the backup to Derrick Henry with Dontrell Hilliard (neck) out for the rest of the regular season. He earned only one rush attempt and saw both of his targets with the team in obvious passing situations. Henry will continue to operate as the clear workhorse back, though Haskins has emerged as his primary backup.

  • Devine Ozigbo RB | DET

    Devine Ozigbo: Bumps back down to practice squad

    Ozigbo reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Ozigbo was elevated from the practice squad for the third time this season to help fill in for the Broncos' depleted running backs corps Sunday versus Arizona. The 26-year-old still played just five of his 18 snaps on offense during this win, logging two carries for two yards. Ozigbo has now logged four touches for seven yards across four games this season, though he'll need to be re-added to the active roster to suit up again for Denver this season.
