White rushed 11 times for 38 yards and caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Bengals.

It was a tough draw on paper for White and the Buccaneers' rushing attack, and the matchup lived up to the billing. White technically started the contest, but he saw a near-even split in touches with Leonard Fournette (12 to 14). The third-round pick from this year's draft has performed adequately since taking on a larger role to help the struggling Fournette, but neither back can truly thrive while the other cannibalizes carries. Both White and Fournette should be considered fringe fantasy options ahead of Sunday's tilt against Arizona.

Kelley carried the ball 10 times for 24 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Titans.

Austin Ekeler left the game briefly in the first quarter to be checked out for an arm injury, and while the Chargers' starting RB returned to the field quickly, Kelley still wound up tying his season high in carries while scoring his second TD of the year on a one-yard plunge. Assuming Ekeker is 100 percent, expect him to return to his usual limited role in Week 16, although that could still offer Kelley some deep-league fantasy upside against a Colts defense that has collapsed over the last two weeks.

Ekeler carried the ball 12 times for 58 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Titans.

The running back got checked out for a possible arm injury after the Chargers' first drive of the game but returned quickly, although Ekeler wound up ceding more work than usual to Joshua Kelley the rest of the way. Ekeler's three-yard TD run in the fourth quarter was his ninth rushing touchdown and 14th total score of the season, and he's 173 yards short of his third career campaign with at least 1,500. He'll look to pad those numbers considerably in Week 16 against a Colts defense that's been trampled by Dalvin Cook and the Cowboys duo of Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott over its last two games.

Mixon was held to 21 rushing yards on 11 carries Sunday, adding five receptions (six targets) for 33 yards in a 34-23 win over Tampa Bay.

Mixon was unable to take advantage of the gaping hole left in the middle of Tampa Bay's rush defense by the absence of star nose tackle Vita Vea (calf). The 26-year-old has been prone to these duds in 2022, as he now has four games of less than 30 rushing yards and no touchdowns. Mixon's overall numbers have been boosted by a monster four-touchdown game against Carolina in Week 9, but it hasn't been smooth sailing for fantasy managers who took the back high in drafts this year. Mixon will look to rebound against the Patriots on Saturday.

Henry carried the ball 21 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and caught all four of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers.

The running back led the Titans in both rushing yards and receiving yards but didn't get much help from the rest of his offense. Henry racked up his second straight 100-yard game and his seventh of the season, but he continues to look up at the Raiders' Josh Jacobs for the NFL rushing crown. However, Henry could close the gap significantly in Week 16 against a Texans defense he's torched for more than 200 rushing yards each of the last four times he's faced it.

Mack rushed five times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona. He added four receptions on four targets for 26 yards.

Mack worked clearly behind Latavius Murray in the Denver backfield, recording only nine touches compared to Murray's 25. However, Mack was able to provide a few explosive plays, highlighted by a three-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and a 17-yard run early in the fourth. While Mack's role remains relatively minimal, he is the clear backup running back in Denver and has scored in consecutive contests.

Ebner failed to catch his long pass target in the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Ebner did recover a Chicago fumble, which helped his team, but he likely didn't benefit many fantasy managers. With Khalil Herbert (hip) nearing a return, the former will likely play the majority of his snaps on special teams, giving him minimal fantasy value.

Jacobs carried the ball 22 times for 93 yards and caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

New England's defense did its best to contain Jacobs and managed to keep him out of the end zone for the first time since Week 11, but the running back still topped 100 scrimmage yards for the sixth straight game. Jacobs remains on course for his first career rushing crown, sitting at 1,495 yards -- almost 200 more than Derrick Henry -- heading into a Week 16 trip to Pittsburgh.

Felton caught his lone target for five yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over Baltimore.

Felton was part of the crew stepping up in the absence of David Bell (thumb) and Anthony Schwartz (concussion), but he played only four snaps. Most of the available third-wideout playing time went to Michael Woods (41 snaps) with Daylen Baldwin (12) behind him. The reception was just the second on the season for Felton.

Evans rushed twice for nine yards in the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

After handling 10 touches in Week 12, Evans has a total of five touches in the two games since that time. With Khalil Herbert (hip) nearing a return, Evans could see his role diminish even further as he'd likely move back to the No. 3 running back role.
