Kelley didn't record any counting stats across his two offensive snaps in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

The third-string running back only saw two snaps with eight being his previous low. Austin Ekeler consistently dominates the backfield, while Justin Jackson typically acts as the main backup, although the snap share has oscillated week to week based on his health. Jackson is slowly returning from a quadricep injury and has missed several games throughout the season, but he essentially renders Kelley useless whenever he's healthy.

Wilkins was cut from the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday.

Wilkins signed with the Jaguars on Nov. 8 after he was waived by the Colts on Oct. 30, in the middle of his fourth year with the club. In a corresponding move the Jaguars signed running back BJ Emmons to their practice squad.

Cook (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant during Tuesday's practice.

While the extent of Cook's activity in practice isn't fully known, the Vikings are listing him as a limited participant for the first time since he suffered a dislocated left shoulder in the team's Week 12 loss to the 49ers. Shortly after Cook was diagnosed with the injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that he was expected to remain out until the team's Week 15 game against the Bears, but the running back looks as though he may have a chance to make it back for this week's Thursday night matchup with the Steelers. Before the Vikings make a call on his status one way or the other, the team will wait and see if Cook is able to take a step forward in his practice activity Wednesday. Alexander Mattison would be in line for a high-volume role out of the Minnesota backfield for the second straight game if Cook is ultimately ruled out against Pittsburgh.

Murray had two carries for one yard and caught both of his targets for 34 yards against the Steelers.

Murray's snap count dropped from 35 in Week 12 to 14 in Sunday's game. He didn't get enough carries to get into a rhythm, as Devonta Freeman and Lamar Jackson took on the bulk of the rushing work. Murray was effective with his targets, however. Freeman remains Baltimore's lead back heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.

Williams rushed five times for 20 yards and added three catches for 60 yards on three targets Sunday against the Broncos.

While Williams saw his offensive snap count dip yet again, he did take advantage of the opportunities he got to turn in 80 total yards. He nearly split work with Clyde Edwards-Helaire evenly, but that resulted in just 26 offensive snaps on the day. As long as both backs remain healthy, the backfield timeshare figures to continue.

Bolden had four carries for 28 yards during Monday's 14-10 win over the Bills. He also secured his only target for seven yards.

Bolden benefited from an unusual game script in extremely windy conditions, but he still worked behind both Damien Harris (hamstring) and Rhamondre Stevenson. Additionally, Bolden handled a season-high 86 percent of snaps on special teams. The Patriots will next take on the Colts on Dec. 18, after a Week 14 bye, at which point Bolden stands to return to his usual change-of-pace role.

Ahmed had eight carries for 23 yards during Sunday's win over the Giants.

Ahmed only managed 2.9 yards per carry versus New York, but he saw his highest workload of the year on the ground as a result of Phillip Lindsay (ankle) being sidelined. The Week 13 win was just the second time all season Ahmed has played at least 30 percent of offensive snaps.

Singletary rushed 10 times for 36 yards in Monday night's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.

Singletary led Buffalo's backfield in carries, but teammate Zack Moss returned to the lineup to match him in overall touches. Although Singletary managed three more scrimmage yards than Moss -- and both outperformed Matt Breida's eight yards on two touches -- none of the Bills' tailbacks were particularly effective amid predictable running conditions. While it was good to see Singletary lead the charge Monday, Buffalo's usual committee approach makes it hard to rely too much on him going into Week 14's matchup versus the Buccaneers.

Moss rushed eight times for 21 yards and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Monday night's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.

Moss returned after being a healthy scratch in Week 12 and ultimately tied Devin Singletary to lead Buffalo's backfield with 10 touches while managing just three fewer scrimmage yards than his teammate. Although his overall production still wasn't anything special, very windy conditions Monday resulted in New England loading up on the running game, restricting space for Moss to maneuver. On the bright side, after his Thanksgiving absence, Moss seems to be back in the rotation alongside Singletary and Matt Breida as Buffalo now prepares for a matchup in Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Stevenson rushed 24 times for 78 yards in Monday night's 14-10 win over the Bills.

Stevenson was heavily relied upon amid extremely windy conditions as well as an injury to teammate Damien Harris (hamstring). Although Harris still managed 10 carries for 111 yards and a score, he was limited to just one handoff in the second half, clearing the way for Stevenson to lead the backfield. Despite consistently facing stacked defensive fronts with the Pats throwing merely three times all game, hurting his efficiency, Stevenson again showed impressive glimpses of his athletic, physical running style, helping New England win in spite of Monday's unusual circumstances. Harris will get some time to heal over the Patriots' bye week, but if he's still restricted once the team reconvenes ahead of Week 15's matchup versus the Colts, Stevenson would be the chief beneficiary.
