Ekeler tallied 12 carries for 31 yards and caught six of his eight targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

Ekeler has now scored a touchdown in seven of the last nine games and has seven receiving scores in that span. It wasn't all great news for Ekeler, however, as the talented running back was held under four yards per carry for just the second time since October while the Chargers fell into a pass-heavy game script. It's been a career year for the dynamic dual threat, and with a favorable schedule down the stretch, expect Ekeler to continue to pile up the numbers.

Cook will go for an MRI on his injured shoulder Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cook was carted off due to the injury in the second half of Sunday's 34-26 loss to San Francisco. Vikings fans and Cook fantasy managers will wait with bated breath until the results of the MRI become available Monday. Should Cook need to miss extended time, Alexander Mattison would take over as the lead back, with rookie special-teams ace Kene Nwangwu in the mix for change-of-pace duties.

Cook (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Cook totaled 10 carries for 39 yards and six catches for 64 yards before being carted off in the second half. He also fumbled on the play on which he got hurt. Cook needing the cart and being promptly ruled out afterward suggest his absence may extend past the remainder of this game, and the team will likely provide an update on the severity of his injury soon.

Cook was carted off the field in the second half of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It's not immediately clear what type of injury Cook is dealing with, but his status will be updated again when more information is available. Alexander Mattison is the next man up in the Vikings' backfield.

Foreman rushed 19 times for 109 yards, brought in his only target for three yards and lost a fumble in the Titans' 36-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

With a makeshift receiving corps, the Titans turned heavily toward the run with success. Foreman was one of the beneficiaries, consistently ripping off solid gains, including a 30-yard scamper. With backfield mate Dontrell Hilliard actually outpacing Foreman with 131 yards on 12 carries, it will be interesting to see what the division of labor in the Tennessee ground attack looks like during a Week 14 home matchup versus the Jaguars following a Week 13 bye.

Sermon (ankle) has been ruled out for the second half of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Sermon injured his ankle on special teams in the first half of Sunday's contest, and he will not see any action in the final two quarters. The 49ers figure to provide some sort of update on Sermon's status at the conclusion of the game.

Gaskin rushed 16 times for 49 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for three yards in the Dolphins' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Gaskin saw new arrival Phillip Lindsay log 12 carries of his own, but it was the former who got two rushing opportunities from inside the five-yard line that he parlayed into a pair of three-yard touchdown runs. Gaskin had scored on the ground only once all season prior to Sunday, and the two visits to the end zone helped prop up what would have otherwise been a very pedestrian fantasy performance. The workload split between Gaskin and Lindsay will be one to monitor moving forward, beginning with a Week 13 home matchup against the Giants.

Stevenson (knee) rushed nine times for 46 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 36-13 win over Tennessee.

Stevenson was slightly outplayed by Damien Harris (neck), who had 52 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 touches. The pair of running backs should continue to split carries in Week 13 against the Bills, though it's possible the Patriots will fall behind after playing from ahead for the past few weeks, in which case receiving back Brandon Bolden could carve out a larger role.

Harris (neck) rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-13 win over Tennessee. He also caught his only target for 12 yards.

Harris saw a near-even split in touches with Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), who mustered 46 yards on nine carries and one target. The veteran running back salvaged his performance with a 14-yard touchdown to round out the scoring with 4:38 to go. Harris continues to be the surging Patriots' primary goal-line option heading into a Week 13 MNF matchup with the Bills.

Sermon sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Vikings, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Sermon was unable to put weight on his right leg as he needed assistance to get off the field after a Brandon Aiyuk punt return. With Elijah Mitchell back in the fold after recovering from finger surgery, Sermon didn't receive a touch prior to his departure.
