Perine (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Perine will be in street clothes for the second straight week following Tevin Coleman's recent return from a hamstring injury. The Jets are likely to continue keeping only three running backs active on game days, and Perine will be fourth in the pecking order so long as Michael Carter, Ty Johnson and Coleman are all healthy.

Gainwell (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Saints.

Gainwell will be the odd man out with the return of Miles Sanders (ankle) from injured reserve. After Gainwell carved out a solid change-of-pace role in the Eagles offense to begin the campaign, the absence of Sanders for the past three contests didn't result in any increase in the rookie's usage. Instead, more opportunities became available for Jordan Howard and Boston Scott, who performed well enough to move ahead of Gainwell on the depth chart.

Ahmed is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

With Ahmed inactive, Duke Johnson is slated make his debut with the Dolphins, presumably in a change-of-pace role behind Myles Gaskin, while Patrick Laird is also on hand in a complementary/reserve role.

Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Buffalo.

It's the third straight game Mack has been made a healthy scratch. Deon Jackson will be the available depth running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines.

Murray (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Murray, who last suited up in Week 6, will rejoin the Ravens' backfield Sunday and in doing so figures to work in a time-share with Devonta Freeman, with Ty'Son Williams on hand in reserve. It's a context that makes Murray a hit-or-miss Week 11 fantasy lineup option while coming off a three-game absence, though with Lamar Jackson (illness) unavailable Sunday and Tyler Huntley slated to draw the start at QB for the Ravens, a run-heavy approach could be on tap for the team.

Williams (calf/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

After putting in a pair of full practices to close out Week 11 prep, Williams looked to have moved past his left knee injury, but a newer calf concern looks to be at the root of why the Bears downgraded him to doubtful Saturday. With Williams sidelined for the third time in the Bears' last five games, Khalil Herbert will operate as the clear No. 2 option out of the backfield behind starter David Montgomery.

Robinson (heel/knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against San Francisco.

Robinson was officially questionable for Sunday's contest, though it's not a major surprise he's suiting up after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported in the early morning that the tailback was on track to play. Robinson returned from a one-game absence last week and had 12 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 27 yards versus the Colts.

Mitchell (finger) is listed as inactive Sunday in Jacksonville, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

Mitchell emerged from Week 10 action against the Rams with a broken finger on his right hand that required surgery Tuesday. There was some optimism at the time that the rookie sixth-rounder would be available Sunday, but Mitchell didn't practice Wednesday through Friday and entered the weekend as doubtful to suit up. With his status for Week 11 now confirmed, the 49ers backfield will be down both Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty (ankle), leaving Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon, Trenton Cannon and Kyle Juszczyk as the team's options at running back.

Williams (thigh) is active for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Williams hasn't played since Week 7 due to a thigh injury. Fortunately, the Lions had a Week 9 bye during that stretch, so he'll miss just two games as a result. D'Andre Swift will continue to operate as Detroit's lead runner, but with Jermar Jefferson (ankle) sidelined, Godwin Igwebuike is the only other reserve running back on the active roster. Prior to his absence, Williams averaged 12.4 touches for 58.7 yards from scrimmage per game and scored two rushing TDs.

Robinson (heel/knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The two injuries prevented Robinson from practicing Wednesday, but the running back was back on the field Thursday and Friday as a limited participant. Despite Rapoport's positive report regarding Robinson's status, fantasy managers will still want to confirm that the 23-year-old avoids the Jaguars' Week 11 inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
