James Robinson RB | NO
Jets' James Robinson: Healthy scratch against Bears
Robinson is listed as inactive Week 12 against the Bears.
Robinson was brought in as a mid-season acquisition following Breece Hall's season-ending knee injury, but he has yet to make much of an impact on the Jets offense. He'll now end up a healthy scratch, with Michael Carter set to lead the backfield and Ty Johnson set to serve as the primary backup. Rookie running back Zonovan Knight is also active for the contest.

Gus Edwards RB | LAC
Ravens' Gus Edwards: Suiting up Week 12
Edwards (hamstring/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
After missing the Ravens' last two games due to the pair of injuries, Edwards practiced as a limited participant Wednesday before upgrading to full activity Thursday and Friday. The increased practice reps weren't enough for Edwards to avoid taking a questionable tag into the weekend, but he'll avoid the inactive list and should serve as the Ravens' lead running back Sunday while J.K. Dobbins (knee) remains on injured reserve. Over two appearances this season, Edwards has carried 27 times for 131 yards and two touchdowns, but he hasn't recorded a reception across 39 snaps on offense.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Locked in as Week 12 starter
White is scheduled to make his second consecutive start Sunday against the Browns with Leonard Fournette (hip) having been downgraded from doubtful to out in advance of the contest, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Even before Fournette departed in the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' last game Week 10 in London against the Seahawks, White appeared to work his way into a timeshare with the veteran back. The rookie provided a spark to a rushing attack that had languished for most of the season, carrying 22 times for 105 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win. With Fournette not yet healthy coming out of a Week 11 bye, White looks like he'll be the clear lead runner for Tampa Bay on Sunday, with Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Giovani Bernard offering depth behind him. Though White has displayed some pass-catching chops with 20 receptions for 135 yards on 25 targets this season, Bernard is an accomplished third-down back in his own right. With that in mind, the Buccaneers might not be eager to hand White a true three-down workload Sunday, so his fantasy ceiling this week may be lower in PPR formats. White profiles as a strong option in the majority of leagues nonetheless while he faces off against a Browns defense that has struggled to stop the run this season.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Expected to play Sunday
Jacobs (calf), who is listed as questionable, is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Barring any pregame setbacks, Jacobs looks set to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Jacobs practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, but he was then a limited participant Friday on account of the calf issue. The injury shouldn't be anything that dramatically affects Jacobs' workload this weekend.

Larry Rountree III RB | HOU
Larry Rountree: Let go by Chargers
Rountree was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.
Rountree signed with Los Angeles' active roster Nov. 12 but has now been waived two weeks later. The move comes on the same day that the Chargers activated fellow running back Joshua Kelley (knee) from injured reserve. In his only game with Los Angeles, Rountree did not see an offensive snap and logged three snaps on special teams.
-
Darrynton Evans RB | BUF
Bears' Darrynton Evans: Promoted to active roster again
The Bears elevated Evans from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of a Week 12 clash against the Jets.
Evans was also elevated ahead of last week's loss to Atlanta, but he played only two offensive snaps and didn't receive a touch or a target. The third-year back also logged six special-teams snaps and figures to fill a similar role this week. Chicago will likely again go with David Montgomery and Trestan Ebner as its top two ball carriers Sunday.
-
Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR
Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Signed to active roster
The Rams signed Rivers to their active roster Saturday.
Rivers has gone back and forth between the practice squad and the active roster this season, and he's suited up in three games with the Rams, tallying nine carries for 21 yards and five catches for 29 yards. His signing to the active roster comes four days after Los Angeles waived former lead back Darrell Henderson. Rivers will likely work as the Rams' No. 3 ball carrier behind Cam Akers and Kyren Williams on Sunday against Kansas City.

Devine Ozigbo RB | DET
Broncos' Devine Ozigbo: Signed off practice squad
The Broncos signed Ozigbo from their practice squad Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
This move comes as no surprise since Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett confirmed Friday that Ozigbo would join the team for the Week 12 contest against Carolina. The Broncos are suddenly thin at running back after Melvin Gordon was waived Monday and Chase Edmonds (ankle) was placed on IR on Tuesday, though Ozigbo may not see much work behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. This is the third week this season that Ozigbo will be active for Denver, but so far he's logged only two offensive snaps and converted one carry into two yards.
-
Patrick Taylor RB | SF
Packers' Patrick Taylor: Elevated from practice squad
Taylor has been elevated by Green Bay from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road contest against Philadelphia.
This will be the ninth week this season during which Taylor has been active for the Packers, as he's been signed and waived from the active roster twice but has rejoined the practice squad each time. Taylor hasn't been able to see the field much behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, as he's logged only one offensive snap thus far. Meanwhile, the third-year back has racked up 78 special-teams snaps, and that's likely the primary role he'll play again Week 12.
-
Joshua Kelley RB | TEN
Chargers' Joshua Kelley: Returns to active roster
The Chargers activated Kelley (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.
Kelley has missed the requisite four games on IR as a result of an MCL sprain, but his first game action since Week 6 was forecast Wednesday when the team designated him for return. With three practices likely under his belt this week, he at least will be an option for L.A.'s backfield behind starter Austin Ekeler, along with Isaiah Spiller and Sony Michel. In six appearances this season, Kelley has averaged 4.5 YPC on his 23 rushes and hauled in seven of 10 targets for 56 yards.
