  • Marlon Mack RB | ARI

    Broncos' Marlon Mack: Minimal involvement in loss

    Mack rushed two times for three yards and secured his only target for six yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Mack played just five of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 3 running back. The veteran recorded two rushes and one catch in each of his first two games with Denver. With Latavius Murray dominating touches out of the backfield and Mike Boone slotting in as the team's top backup, Mack's opportunities for meaningful production should remain limited going forward. Barring injuries to Murray and Boone, the 26-year-old should be far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14.

  • Mike Boone RB | MIA

    Broncos' Mike Boone: Limited role in return

    Boone rushed six times for 18 yards and secured his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Boone operated as Denver's No. 2 running back behind Latavius Murray, who handled 17 carries in the contest. In the backup role, Boone played just 12 of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps. The veteran likely faces an uphill battle to fantasy relevance with Denver's continued ineffectiveness on offense. Boone's potential contributions as a pass catcher also seem to be in danger with Murray tied for the second-most targets in the Denver passing game Sunday. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old should remain in his role as a change-of-pace back when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14, though he is extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Minimal work Sunday

    Hill had one carry for two yards and added two receptions for four yards Sunday against the Broncos.

    Hill and Gus Edwards played the same number of snaps (17) but Edwards was more involved with six carries. Meanwhile, Kenyan Drake played the most snaps among the Ravens running backs and led the backfield with seven rushes for 29 yards. The offense was facing a tough matchup, but the fact remains that the team mustered just 281 total yards with Tyler Huntley at quarterback. If Jackson is out Sunday against the Steelers, the offense could be hemmed in once again.

  • Kenyan Drake RB | GB

    Ravens' Kenyan Drake: Paces Ravens backfield Sunday

    Drake had seven carries for 29 yards along with two catches for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

    Drake paced the backfield in snap share at 47 percent and was the team's most effective running back overall, out-rushing Gus Edwards by 17 yards on just one more carry. The offense shifted after Lamar Jackson went out with a knee injury and backup Tyler Huntley ultimately led the team in rushing. Though Drake was the top back Sunday, Edwards could continue to push for the lead role as he gets closer to 100 percent.

  • Giants' Gary Brightwell: Limited to return duties

    Brightwell did not log any offensive snaps in Sunday's 20-20 tie with Washington, but he gained 44 yards on two kick returns.

    Brightwell entered the weekend with a questionable tag due to an illness. He was ultimately able to play against Washington but did not garner any snaps on offense for the first time since Week 10. Brightwell had seen his most action of the campaign on Thanksgiving, totaling 31 yards on five carries and 18 yards on two catches against Dallas. He's yet to log more than 10 offensive snaps in any game this season, and his value to the Giants is primarily as a kick returner.

  • 49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Doesn't see field Sunday

    Davis-Price did not see the field on offense or on special teams in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Dolphins.

    Davis-Price figured to be in the mix for snaps behind Christian McCaffrey on Sunday, but it was Jordan Mason (8-51-0) who took over Elijah Mitchell's (knee) backup spot while maintaining his usual role on special teams. The 2022 third-round pick has struggled to find his way onto the field despite the 49ers having a multitude of injury problems at the running back position this season. For fantasy managers that stashed Davis-Price in hopes he could have a role in San Francisco, it's probably safe to move on ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

  • Bengals' Trayveon Williams: Minimal offensive role

    Williams had just one carry for three yards in Sunday's win over the Chiefs, playing 10 offensive snaps.

    Williams was still involved on special teams, returning two kicks for 27 yards, but he took a step back from the previous week when he was more involved against the Titans. If Joe Mixon (concussion) returns as expected this week, Williams might be relegated to special teams only duty.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Game-winning TD in comeback win

    White rushed nine times for 28 yards and secured six of eight targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

    White and the returning Leonard Fournette split the work nearly evenly on the ground, with the latter logging one additional carry. In turn, the rookie drew one more target than his veteran teammate, gained nine more receiving yards on the same number of catches and also recorded the game-winning touchdown on a six-yard grab with three seconds remaining. White's level of involvement with Fournette available is encouraging from a fantasy perspective, but both backs could struggle to provide meaningful production against the 49ers' league-best run defense in Week 14.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Stifled in Week 13 loss

    Kamara tallied 12 carries for 26 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards during Monday's 17-16 defeat versus the Buccaneers.

    Kamara continued to underperform expectations, averaging less than four yards per carry for the sixth game in a row. While the five-time Pro Bowler was limited by three of the league's best rushing defenses in his previous three outings, he did not manage to break a run longer than five yards against a Buccaneers defense that allowed 4.6 yards per carry coming into Week 13. Kamara also posted his worst receiving stat line of the season despite quarterback Andy Dalton's solid performance Monday night. The running back has been forced to operate behind a banged-up offensive line recently, and this unit should have some time to recover during New Orleans' upcoming Week 14 bye.

  • Julius Chestnut: Returns to practice squad

    Chestnut reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Chestnut received the promotion with Hassan Haskins (hip) out. He saw seven snaps on offense against the Eagles, which led to five carries for 13 yards, all occurring in garbage time. Depending on Haskins' status for Week 14 against the Jaguars, Chestnut could find himself back with the active roster.
