Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC
Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Dealing with injury
Abdullah (hamstring) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Abdullah played his typical workload in Sunday's game with the Chargers. With the Raiders playing Thursday against the Rams, any appearance on the injury report early in the week takes on more meaning. However, his limitation was just an estimate and his status in the days ahead will be worth monitoring.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Listed as limited on estimate
Jacobs (quadriceps/calf) was a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
The Raiders didn't practice Monday, so the report was merely an estimate. Jacobs has totaled 108 touches over his past four games, so his appearance on the injury report can likely be attributed to rest. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against the Rams, but at this point, there doesn't appear to be any indication that Jacobs is in danger of missing Week 14.

Malik Davis RB | DAL
Cowboys' Malik Davis: Scores first career TD
Davis carried the ball three times for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 54-19 rout of the Colts.
Seeing action late in the fourth quarter during garbage time with the game well in hand, Davis wrapped up the scoring with a 23-yard TD scamper. It was the rookie's first career touchdown in the NFL, but it may not be his last this season as the Cowboys' high-powered offense could run up the score against more opponents, including the lowly Texans in Week 14.

DeeJay Dallas RB | MIN
Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Has ankle injury
Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dallas has "somewhat of a high-ankle issue," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dallas worked as Seattle's leading rusher during Sunday's win over the Rams, a contest which he managed to close out despite injuring his ankle on the final play before halftime. Kenneth Walker (ankle) left the game in the second quarter but isn't ruled out for Week 14 after undergoing an MRI on Monday, while Travis Homer (illness/knee) was inactive Sunday. Given the backfield uncertainty heading into a Week 14 matchup against Carolina, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Dallas' health.

Travis Homer RB | PIT
Seahawks' Travis Homer: Dealing with knee sprain
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Homer (illness) is dealing with a knee sprain, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Homer missed Sunday's win over the Rams due to an illness, but with both Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) now also banged up, his status becomes more crucial heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Panthers. Carroll didn't allude to Homer's chances of being available this weekend, though he did note Walker hasn't been ruled out yet after undergoing an MRI on Monday.

Benny Snell RB | DET
Steelers' Benny Snell: Racks up 35 yards from scrimmage
Snell rushed six times for 24 yards while securing his lone target for 11 yards during the Steelers' 19-16 win over Atlanta on Sunday.
Snell was limited by a knee injury during Thursday's practice session but was cleared to play in Week 13 after practicing fully Friday. He logged a season-high 62 rushing yards against the Colts last week since Pittsburgh's backfield was shorthanded, but he was less involved in Week 13 since both Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren were back to full health. While Snell was relatively efficient with his limited opportunities, he played just nine offensive snaps in the win and is unlikely to have a significant role in the team's offense as long as Harris and Warren remain healthy.

Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC
Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: One touch Sunday
Abdullah took one carry for four yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
Abdullah failed to catch a single pass for the first time since Week 5, logging only 12 offensive snaps behind starter Josh Jacobs. Abdullah's pass-down role could diminish if the Raiders manage to build an early lead against the 3-9 Rams on Thursday.

Kenneth Walker III RB | KC
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Not ruled out for Week 14
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Walker is dealing with a right ankle strain and could be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, though the team can't confirm his status yet, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Carroll called Walker's injury "unusual," but it's a good sign that the rookie running back hasn't been ruled out for Week 14 already. Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports that the Seahawks have already received results from Monday's MRI, so it appears that further information on Walker's status could rely on what he's able to do in practice this week. Meanwhile, Travis Homer is nursing a sprained knee, and DeeJay Dallas suffered "somewhat of a high ankle issue," per Boyle, but he was able to finish the Week 13 win over the Rams.

Zamir White RB | NO
Raiders' Zamir White: Two carries Sunday
White rushed twice for six yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
White logged only four offensive snaps despite starter Josh Jacobs having nursed a left calf strain all week, and the latter rushed for 144 yards and a score on 26 carries Sunday. White's role out of the Raiders' backfield figures to remain limited Thursday against the Rams with Jacobs seemingly near full strength.
-
Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Minimal involvement in return
Warren rushed once for five yards while securing both of his targets for 14 yards during the Steelers' 19-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Warren missed Monday's game against the Colts due to a hamstring injury but was back in action for Sunday's Week 13 matchup. While he outpaced Benny Snell in snaps, Warren was on the field for just 20 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive plays. The undrafted rookie topped 75 yards from scrimmage in two of his three appearances prior to his absence, but he's unlikely to be a consistent fantasy contributor as long as Najee Harris remains healthy.
