Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Totals 59 all-purpose yards in win
White rushed eight times for 27 yards, secured all three targets for seven yards and returned one kickoff for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-13 win over the Rams on Sunday.
The rookie logged just one fewer carry than Leonard Fournette, and he also recorded multiple receptions for the fifth time in the last six games. White's rushing yardage total, modest as it was, also qualified as a career high, and the 23-year-old could be given more opportunities in coming weeks as head coach Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich look for more ways to spice up a mostly moribund offense.

Jordan Wilkins RB | CLE
Colts' Jordan Wilkins: Reverts to practice squad
The Colts reverted Wilkins to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Wilkins saw his first action of the season in Sunday's Week 9 loss to New England, playing 19 of 62 offensive snaps and finishing with three carries for 13 yards and four catches on five targets for 15 yards. His presence was needed in the absence of Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and with Zack Moss not yet ready to play following his trade to the club. Wilkins' chance of another elevation in Week 10 will likely hinge on Taylor's availability, though Phillip Lindsay is also on the team's practice squad and could receive consideration if Taylor is sidelined.

Gus Edwards RB | LAC
Ravens' Gus Edwards: Inactive Monday
Edwards (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Saints.
Given that Edwards is unavailable, look for Kenyan Drake to lead the Ravens backfield Monday, with Justice Hill mixing in and Mike Davis in reserve. When Edwards saw 16 snaps (and carried 11 times) in the team's Week 8 win over the Buccaneers, Drake parlayed his 44 snaps into 11 touches for 67 total yards and a touchdown, while Hill (16 snaps) recorded four carries for 28 yards.

Spencer Brown RB | ATL
Panthers' Spencer Brown: Heads back to practice squad
Brown reverted to Carolina's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Brown was called up to the Panthers' active roster for both Weeks 8 and 9, and he totaled nine carries for 43 yards while also nabbing two catches on three targets for 10 yards over the two contests. With Chuba Hubbard (ankle) unavailable, the 23-year-old ranked third among Carolina ball carriers with 13 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Bengals. Should Hubbard be unable to play again Thursday versus the Falcons, Brown would be a likely candidate to be elevated for a third straight week.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Limited on practice estimate
Hubbard (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Hubbard has missed Carolina's last two games due to an ankle injury, so he's no lock to return to action Thursday night against the Falcons. However, Tuesday's practice should provide added context on that front, and if Hubbard is able to return to action Week 10, he'd bolster a backfield that has been paced by D'Onta Foreman of late following the team's trade of Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers.

JaMycal Hasty RB | NE
Jaguars' JaMycal Hasty: Four touches in win
Hasty had three carries for six yards and caught his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders.
The 26-year-old played only 13 of 69 offensive snaps, as Travis Etienne continues to operate as Jacksonville's workhorse. Fellow running back Snoop Conner played only one snap, so it appears Hasty's spot as the Jags' No. 2 RB is secure.
-
Alexander Mattison RB | MIA
Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Just three touches
Mattison gained one yard on two carries and had one reception for no yards on his only target in Sunday's win at Washington.
Mattison played on just nine of the offense's 66 snaps (14 percent) as he had a limited reserve role behind a healthy Dalvin Cook. His snap share has trended downward this season with 24 percent or less the past three 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.

Ezekiel Elliott RB | LAC
Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Doesn't practice Monday
Coach Mike McCarthy said Elliott (knee) won't practice Monday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Elliott said Monday that the swelling in his knee had gone down over the Cowboys' Week 9 bye, and he hopes to return to practice during Week 10 prep. However, the running back admitted he doesn't know when he'll be back in pads and added that he'll have to wear a brace on his knee when he returns to football activities. McCarthy said Monday's session was light, so it's a little discouraging that Elliott couldn't participate in any fashion, though his absence could be precautionary. Fantasy managers will likely have to monitor Elliott's status throughout the week, and his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Packers may come down to a game-time decision.

D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Lions' D'Andre Swift: No setbacks
Head coach Dan Campbell indicated Monday that Swift did not suffer any setbacks during Sunday's victory over the Packers, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports. "We're hopeful we can give him a little bit more this week," Campbell said.
After logging over half of the offensive snaps in his return from shoulder and ankle injuries in Week 8 against Miami, Swift logged just 16 percent Week 9 against Green Bay. While it isn't clear why the star running back would see less work if injuries weren't at play, the fact that Swift saw less action than Justin Jackson (21 percent) certainly makes Campbell's comments seem suspicious. Wednesday's initial injury report may provide further clarity to Swift's availability for a Week 10 matchup against the Bears.

Chris Evans RB | CIN
Bengals' Chris Evans: Week-to-week with PCL issue
Evans is considered week-to-week after suffering a PCL injury during Sunday's win over the Panthers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Evans departed Sunday's matchup versus Carolina with an apparent knee injury, after he logged just one offensive snap and four special-teams opportunities in the contest. If the second-year pro is unable to gain medical clearance before Cincinnati's Week 11 game against Pittsburgh, then Trent Taylor appears next in line to handle kick returns.
