Johnson played six offensive snaps and did not receive a touch or target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.

This was the first game in five weeks in which the Browns had both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (leg) available, which put a limit on Johnson's playing time. Hunt injured his leg late and was removed from the game, which could impact Johnson's role going forward; however, Cleveland is on its bye Week 13. The next game is Week 14, a return matchup at home against the Ravens.

Chubb gained 16 yards on eight carries and caught two passes (four targets) for 23 more yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Ravens.

Chubb has been one of the NFL's top pure rushers this year, but his run of consistency came to a screeching halt Sunday. The Ravens were keen on bringing extra pressure and plugging potential rush lanes for the entire Cleveland rushing attack, as neither of the Browns' top two rushers were able to eclipse 20 yards for the first time this season. Kareem Hunt (leg) was held out at the end of this contest, so Chubb could be in store for heavy usage if his teammate is unable to return healthy from the upcoming bye week. Chubb averaged 17.3 carries and 109.3 rushing yards over the five-week span Hunt missed earlier this season.

Sanders suffered an ankle injury in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Giants, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

It's unclear whether this injury was related to the ankle issue that resulted in Sanders landing on injured reserve earlier this season. If Sanders nor Jordan Howard (knee) can play against the Jets in Week 13, Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell would lead the Philadelphia backfield for that favorable matchup. Clarification on Sanders' status should emerge once the Eagles resume practicing Wednesday.

Mitchell carried the ball 27 times for 133 yards and a touchdown and caught five of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Vikings.

After missing last week's contest due to rib and finger injuries, Mitchell seemed none the worse for wear in his return and saw his highest touch volume of the season, setting a new career high in scrimmage yards in the process. The rookie is the clear No. 1 back for the Niners when he's healthy, giving him significant upside in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

Dillon recorded 20 carries for 69 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams. He added five receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown.

Dillon saw 14 carries in the second half of the game as the Packers looked to run out the clock on a lead, and he out-carried Aaron Jones 20-10 as a result. Despite that impressive volume, the most notable part of Dillon's production was his work as a receiver. He recorded the first receiving touchdown of his career midway through the third quarter and now has four or more receptions in three of his last four games. After the contest, coach Matt LaFleur called the backfield "a 1A and 1B" situation according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, so all indications suggest the Dillon will remain heavily involved in the offense even with the return of Jones.

Mattison carried the ball seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the 49ers.

The touchdown, Mattison's first rushing TD of the year, came early in the second half, but Dalvin Cook left the game on the Vikings' next drive with a shoulder injury and didn't return. If Cook's latest injury proves to be serious, Mattison could find himself back in the lead role for a very juicy Week 13 matchup with the Lions.

Williams carried the ball 14 times for 54 yards and a touchdown and caught three of four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Chargers.

While Melvin Gordon led the Broncos in rushing, Williams was by far the more productive back, scoring his first rushing TD since Week 3 while leading Denver in receiving yards to top 100 scrimmage yards for the second time in the last three games. Williams will attempt to build on that momentum in a Week 13 clash with Kansas City.

Gordon carried the ball 17 times for 83 yards and caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Chargers.

While he was more effective on the ground than Javonte Williams, it was the rookie who scored a rushing TD and made a much bigger impact as a receiver. Gordon also saw his four-game touchdown streak end, but he'll look to start a new one in Week 13 against Kansas City.

Jones rushed the ball 10 times for 23 yards in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams. He was also targeted once but did not record a reception.

Jones returned from a one-game absence after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 10. He received the first carry of the game for the Packers and saw eight carries in the first half as opposed to six for AJ Dillon. However, Dillon was used extensively in the second half as the Packers tried to run out the clock, and Dillon ultimately earned 20 carries compared to 10 for Jones. When given the opportunity, Jones wasn't particularly effective as he averaged only 2.3 yards per carry, with his longest rush going for eight yards. When asked about the running back situation after the game, head coach Matt LaFleur called the backfield a "1A and 1B" situation," Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Walter rushed nine times for 38 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Texans.

Walter was elevated from the practice squad with Michael Carter (ankle) on IR, and he worked as part of a three-headed backfield committee with Tevin Coleman (16 carries for 67 yards) and Ty Johnson (six carries for 42 yards). Given an opportunity from the two-yard line late in the first half, Waller made the most of it by powering into the end zone. He'll likely be elevated again in Week 13 against the Eagles
