Ollison reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Ollison was elevated from the practice squad for the second game in a row ahead of Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Packers, though his only contribution came via one tackle on kick coverage while playing all 14 snaps on special teams. With Ezekiel Elliott (knee) inactive again, Tony Pollard and Malik Davis continued to carry Dallas' rushing duties against Green Bay. Ollison will now be eligible for just one more activation while on the Cowboys' practice squad this season.

Moss had one carry for four yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

It was his only snap on offense as he may not be much more than an insurance policy after coming over in a trade from Buffalo. He could have a goal-line role, however, given Indy's struggles in the red zone for much of the season.

Wilkins had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

Wilkins played just three snaps on offense, and Zack Moss played just one snap, as Jonathan Taylor (60 snaps) got almost all the playing time now that he's healthy and Nyhiem Hines has been traded. Wilkins looks like the primary backup as long as Deon Jackson (knee) is out, but that may be a very small role barring another Taylor injury.

Mattison had three carries for 11 yards and one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Sunday's win at Buffalo.

Mattison played on 12 of the offense's 80 snaps (15 percent), seeing time on one drive to give starter Dalvin Cook a break. His snap share has trended downward this season with 24 percent or less the past four games, giving him little fantasy value barring a Cook injury. Mattison still is one of the more valuable backup running backs in the league given his production when thrust into the starting lineup.

Arizona waived Benjamin on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Benjamin saw just one offensive snap during Arizona's Week 10 win over the Rams and was let go a day later. The 2020 seventh-round pick rushed 70 times for 299 yards and two scores while securing 24 of 33 targets for 184 yards across his first nine appearances, including a 92-yard rushing performance Week 7 with James Conner sidelined due to a rib injury. Benjamin likely will draw interest while on waivers, but in his absence, rookie Keaontay Ingram will be promoted to the primary backup behind Conner.

Patterson was elevated from Washington's practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles.

Patterson will provide backfield depth behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson with J.D. McKissic (neck) unavailable. He rushed for 266 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie season with Washington but has spent the entirety of the 2022 campaign on the practice squad up to this point.

Mason logged 19 snaps on special teams and was not used on offense in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

Mason returned to action after being deployed as a healthy scratch last game, effectively swapping spots on the depth chart with Tyrion Davis-Price (healthy scratch). The 49ers welcomed back Elijah Mitchell (knee) back this week, so the rookie wasn't asked to do more than serve on special teams. Mason carries no fantasy value heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Cardinals next Monday.

Williams rushed once for nine yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Williams didn't accumulate any stats until the final drive of the game, and he took the field for only 16 offensive snaps. The rookie out of Notre Dame was able to showcase his pass-catching ability on the final drive with three receptions, and he recorded 39 total yards with his limited usage. Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson combined for just 43 rushing yards on 12 attempts, and Henderson scored the only touchdown between the trio of running backs. The continued lackluster play of Akers and Henderson may provide Williams with more opportunities heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Saints, but it will be hard to trust any of the trio to have much of a fantasy impact with so many mouths to feed in the backfield.

Spiller carried the ball four times for three yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the 49ers.

Spiller once again out-snapped veteran Sony Michel, but neither back was able to do much in their limited opportunities. Nominal No. 2 back Joshua Kelley (knee) is expected to return in the coming weeks, which could relegate Spiller further down the depth chart. The rookie has a combined 12 carries for 27 yards over the last three games in Kelley's absence.

Edwards-Helaire played a season-low four snaps and didn't log a carry while failing to haul in either of his targets in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jaguars.

For the third game in a row, Edwards-Helaire ceded the start at running back to Isiah Pacheco, but Sunday marked the first time the latter took on anything resembling a starter's workload. With Pacheco getting off to a nice start to Sunday's game, head coach Andy Reid relied on him more heavily, with the Rutgers product finishing with 16 carries for 82 yards while playing 56 percent of the snaps. Edwards-Helaire, meanwhile, nearly fell out of the game plan entirely, while Jerick McKinnon (37 percent snap share, six receptions for 56 yards on eight targets) retained a role as the Chiefs' primary passing-down back. Given that Pacheco's strong outing perhaps only further solidified him as the Chiefs' top option on early downs, Edwards-Helaire looks like he could find himself third in the pecking order for snaps out of the backfield moving forward.
