McKinnon carried the ball six times for 22 yards and caught seven of nine targets for 112 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Broncos.

The running back set the tone for another huge performance by the Kansas City offense in the second quarter, catching a grenade toss-like pass from Patrick Mahomes along the sideline and taking it 56 yards to the house. McKinnon then capped the team's next possession with a 10-yard TD catch. Rookie Isiah Pacheco remains the primary early-down back for Kansas City, but both RBs figure to be productive in Week 15 against a Texans defense that just coughed up 143 combined yards and three touchdowns to the Cowboys duo of Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott.

Pacheco carried the ball 13 times for 70 yards and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Broncos.

The rookie took a back seat to Jerick McKinnon in this one as his veteran backfield mate piled up 134 combined yards and two receiving TDs, but Pacheco still posted the second-highest scrimmage-yards total of his young career. He seems poised for success in Week 15 against a Texans defense that just coughed up 143 combined yards and three touchdowns to the Cowboys RB duo of Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott.

McCaffrey rushed 14 times for 119 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions (three targets) for 34 yards and a receiving touchdown in Sunday's 35-7 rout of the Buccaneers.

The 49ers continued to monitor McCaffrey's minor knee injury during practice this week, but his status for Sunday's tilt was never really in doubt. The 26-year-old handled a full workload and produced his first 100-yard rushing game since being traded to San Francisco at the deadline. The 49ers might have lost another key offensive player, Deebo Samuel (ankle), to injury, so McCaffrey may be tasked with carrying the offense even more down the stretch. Assuming that his balky knee doesn't act up on a short week, CMC could be in line for another big fantasy game in a soft matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday,

Homer rushed nine times for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers. He also caught two of three targets for eight yards.

Homer started at tailback with both Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas sidelined with ankle injuries. However, Homer wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunity, struggling to find much room to run besides a long gain of 16 yards. Although the Seahawks face a quick turnaround ahead of Week 15's Thursday night contest versus the 49ers, Homer could return to a reserve role if Walker and/or Dallas are able to suit up.

Hubbard rushed 14 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks. He also caught all three of his targets for 25 yards.

Hubbard scored from two yards to begin the second quarter. The tailback tied teammate D'Onta Foreman for Carolina's lead in rushing yards, though Hubbard did so on seven fewer carries. With the Panthers totaling 46 rushing attempts, there were plenty of opportunities to go around, as third-stringer Raheem Blackshear even carried four times for 32 yards and a score. However, thanks to his contribution in the passing game, Hubbard was the most productive member of the backfield, turning in an impressive Week 14 performance.

Foreman rushed 21 times for 74 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks. He also caught his only target for one yard.

Foreman led the Panthers in carries despite being listed with a foot injury earlier in the week. While he matched Chuba Hubbard for the team's lead in rushing yardage, both Hubbard and third-string tailback Raheem Blackshear managed to find the end zone while Foreman didn't. While they also made larger contributions in the passing game, Foreman's status as Carolina's bell cow over the second half of the season gives his value a solid floor ahead of Week 15's matchup versus Pittsburgh.

Dobbins recorded 15 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.

Dobbins was activated off injured reserve prior to Sunday's game and was active for the first time since Week 6. He split carries with Gus Edwards fairly evenly, though Dobbins ultimately led the way with two more rushing attempts. Dobbins was also the far more efficient back, ripping off a long gain of 44 yards while also finding the end zone on a four-yard rush late in the first quarter. Dobbins isn't likely to completely take over the backfield in Baltimore due to the shaky strength of his knee, though the fact that he was trusted with 15 carries is a positive sign for his workload moving forward.

Harris rushed the ball 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Ravens. He added two receptions on three targets for 17 yards.

Harris accounted for the majority of the work out of the Steelers backfield, recording 12 of 18 carries by skill position players. However, as has been the case for much of the year, the team's offense struggled to produce consistently, limiting Harris' potential in turn. He didn't help matters, as his longest rush of the day went for only eight yards, and he averaged only 2.8 yards per carry. Harris saved his performance with a one-yard touchdown plunge late in the first quarter, his fifth score of the season. Prior to Sunday's game, Harris had totaled 90 or more total yards in three of four contests.

Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Gaskin dealt with shoulder and ankle injuries recently but wasn't on the injury report for Sunday's Week 14 tilt. He'll be a healthy scratch against the Chargers, leaving Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson and Salvon Ahmed as the team's three active running backs.

Etienne rushed the ball 17 times for 32 yards in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Titans.

Etienne accounted for 17 of Jacksonville's 22 carries by skill position players, but he turned in another disappointing performance. His longest gain of the day went for only seven yards, and he was not targeted for the first time in a full game this season. Etienne has now failed to top 55 rushing yards in four consecutive contests and also hasn't found the end zone in that span.
