Swift rushed eight times for 52 yards while catching five of nine targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.

While Swift was highly efficient with his rushing attempts and logged a season high in targets, the Jets did well to keep Detroit's offense out of their territory for most of the game, making it hard for any Lions running back to sniff the end zone. Moreover, Swift was unable to do much with his lofty target total since New York was quick to bottle him up when he secured his catches. The third-year running back will look to put up bigger numbers in a Week 16 matchup with the Panthers.

Sanders rushed 11 times for 42 yards while catching his only target for minus-13 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Bears.

Philadelphia didn't have a single rushing attempt from a running back until Sanders rushed for one yard with less than seven minutes left in the first half. Sanders remained quiet on the ground and also fumbled for the first time this season at the end of a catch in the third quarter. This was Sanders' lowest scrimmage yardage total of the season. He'll look to bounce back in Week 16 against the Cowboys.

Hubbard rushed four times for 10 yards and caught all three of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Steelers.

Hubbard actually led the Panthers in rushing yards, evidencing their struggles in the ground game. Despite that situation, he still made a strong impact as a receiver, going for a game-long gain of 45 yards at one point. Without a double-digit touch count like in his two games prior, however, Hubbard's output came from fewer opportunities.

Foreman rushed 10 times for nine yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Steelers.

Foreman and the Panthers' running game were bottled up completely, as the team managed just 21 yards on its 16 total attempts. Although Foreman also fumbled once, teammate Stephen Sullivan fortunately recovered his miscue. Without any involvement in the passing game, it was a total dud performance from Foreman in Sunday's defeat.

Allgeier rushed 17 times for 139 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for minus-3 yards in the Falcons' 21-18 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

The rookie running back put together a career-best performance in the close loss, one that was highlighted by a game-long 43-yard scamper. Allgeier also recorded only his second career rushing touchdown on a five-yard run to cap off the first drive of the second half. Allgeier notably outpaced backfield mate Cordarrelle Patterson by three carries, and it remains to be seen if Sunday's performance continues to afford him the bigger share of the workload in a Week 16 road matchup against the Ravens.

Harris rushed 24 times for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Panthers.

Harris opened the scoring with a seven-yard touchdown rush during the first quarter. That score brought his total to five over his last five games. Although he wasn't particularly efficient while garnering a season high in carries, Harris still topped 80 rushing yards for the fourth time in his past six appearances. His production Sunday came without any targets in the passing game, but Harris nonetheless has found some solid late-season form.

Stevenson (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Stevenson, who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, returned to a limited session Friday and will give it a go Sunday, though it remains to be seen how close to a full workload he'll see after being limited to 13 snaps this past Monday against the Cardinals due to an ankle injury. In any case, with Damien Harris (thigh) inactive, the Patriots will take all they can get from their leading rusher in Week 15, with rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris on hand to provide support in the event that Stevenson is limited at all or suffers any setbacks versus Las Vegas.

Jacobs (hand/quadriceps) is active for Sunday's Week 15 clash against the Patriots.

As has been the case on numerous occasions during the second half of the season, Jacobs will blow through his questionable designation to suit up and presumably handle his typically robust, diverse role versus New England. Jacobs has logged at least 21 carries in five straight games and multiple receptions in 11 consecutive contests, but he could be in for especially tough sledding on the ground against a Patriots defense that's allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards per road game (92.3).

Sermon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Sermon is now slated to miss his ninth consecutive contest after being named a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup versus Chicago. Unless either Miles Sanders, Boston Scott or Kenneth Gainwell are forced to miss time, the second-year back likely won't see much action on the field.

Benjamin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Benjamin was claimed off waivers by the Saints on Wednesday, but he'll remain inactive for his first contest with New Orleans. Dwayne Washington (coach's decision) is also inactive and Mark Ingram (knee) is out for the season, leaving David Johnson as the only active backup behind Alvin Kamara. However, the versatile Taysom Hill figures to garner a few rushing attempts as well.
