  • Browns' Demetric Felton: One touch in win

    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.

  • Bears' Darrynton Evans: Minimal usage in loss

    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.

  • Patriots' Pierre Strong: Limited touches Sunday

    Strong carried the ball four times for 25 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

    The rookie was coming off a big performance against the Cardinals, but with Rhamondre Stevenson apparently fully recovered from his ankle injury and having a massive day, there weren't many touches left over for Strong in the New England backfield. He may have played well enough over the last two weeks to secure the No. 2 spot on the depth chart even once Damien Harris (thigh) is healthy, but his fantasy outlook seems dim for Week 16 against a Bengals defense that has stifled the likes of Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry over the last month.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Cardinals' James Conner: Punches in seventh touchdown

    Conner recorded 16 rushes for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Broncos. He added three receptions on five targets for 28 yards.

    Conner accounted for 16 of Arizona's 17 carries by running backs, though he was largely held in check. He did manage to break free for a 14-yard run early in the third quarter and also tallied a 16-yard reception midway to account for his longest gains of the day. Conner also punched in a late touchdown from one yard away -- his seventh score of the season. He may find it difficult to find running room without Kyler Murray (knee) under center, but Conner has seen at least 15 rushing attempts in four of his last five games.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Huge performance against Raiders

    Stevenson carries the ball 19 times for 172 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

    The second-year back set a new career high in rushing yards for a game, topping the 161 yards he racked up against the Lions in Week 5 of this season, and Stevenson's 34-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter gave the Patriots a 24-17 lead, seemingly setting the team up for a win before a disastrous final minute. Stevenson appeared to be completely over the ankle injury that limited him last week in Arizona, but he gets a tough matchup in Week 16 against a Bengals defense that has stifled the likes of Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry over the last month.

  • Broncos' Latavius Murray: Puts up 142 total yards

    Murray rushed the ball 24 times for 130 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Cardinals. He added one reception for 12 yards.

    Murray recorded a season-high 24 rushing attempts and topped 100 rushing yards for the first time since Week 18 of the 2021 season. He entered Sunday's matchup having recorded only one rush of more than 20 yards, but he managed carries of 35 and 21 yards to highlight his performance in the win. Murray also chipped in his fifth touchdown of the season on a three-yard plunge late in the third quarter. While Marlon Mack has emerged as a contributor out of Denver's backfield, Murray will likely continue to see the majority of touches across the final few weeks of the campaign.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Tops 100 total yards in win

    Kamara posted 21 carries for 91 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 21-18 win over the Falcons.

    Kamara looked like his old self coming off the Saints' Week 14 bye. The 27-year-old accumulated more than 100 total yards for the first time in his last six games, as he posted his third-most touches of the season. With Mark Ingram (knee) set to miss the remainder of the season on IR, Kamara easily paced New Orleans in rushing attempts ahead of swiss-army-knife Taysom Hill (seven) and new No. 2 back David Johnson (four). While Kamara was kept out of the end zone for the sixth straight game, this significant uptick in usage is an encouraging sign for his production moving heading into Week 16's matchup against Cleveland's porous rush defense, which has allowed 5.0 yards per carry this season.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Tops 100 total yards

    Pollard rushed the ball 19 times for 75 yards in Sunday's 40-34 loss to the Jaguars. He added four receptions on five targets for 31 yards.

    Pollard paced the Dallas backfield in carries, total touches and yards. He turned in an uncharacteristically inefficient performance, as he managed only three total touches that went for double-digit gains. Even so, Pollard has topped 100 total yards in four of his last six games while also finding the end zone seven times in that span.

  • Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Scores touchdown in loss

    Patterson rushed 14 times for 52 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints. He also caught one of three targets for zero yards.

    Patterson saw 17 total touches to Tyler Allgeier's 18, but the rookie significantly outproduced the veteran. Patterson's struggles may open up more playing time for Allgeier moving forward. However, the Falcons continue to rely heavily on the run game, so Patterson will garner fantasy intrigue as long as he's available, though both running backs' overall potential has been limited all season due to the timeshare.

  • Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Finds end zone again

    Elliott rushed the ball 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 loss to the Jaguars. He added two receptions on two targets for 13 yards.

    Elliott looked to be in line for a big game, as he tallied 41 total yards and a touchdown on Dallas' first two offensive possessions. However, he managed only 13 yards on seven carries in the second half to turn in a solid, yet unspectacular performance. Positively, Elliott remains a force near the goal line, as he now has at least one touchdown in seven consecutive games and 10 overall on the season.
