Snell recorded three carries for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.

Snell saw increased work over the last several weeks with James Conner sidelined, but he was on the field for just five offensive snaps Sunday with Conner back on the field. Snell's seven-yard carry was the longest of the game for Pittsburgh, but he was outpaced by both Conner and Jaylen Samuels offensively. As long as Conner remains healthy, the 2019 fourth-rounder likely will maintain a minimal role within the Steelers offense.

Wilson rushed 11 times for 31 yards and a touchdown Sunday, adding 13 more yards on one reception (three targets) in a 23-15 loss to Washington.

Starter Raheem Mostert out-touched Wilson, 16-12, but the latter was given the opportunity to punch the ball into the end zone from one yard out in the first quarter. The 25-year-old Wilson did, however, have an ugly drop late in the contest that would have extended a comeback drive, but the trip to the end zone salvaged what would have been a disappointing game. Even though Wilson technically is the backup in this offense, he brings added fantasy value as the preferred goal-line back along with his usage in the passing game (eight targets over the last two weeks). The 49ers will take on the Cowboys and their 32nd-ranked rush defense Week 15, giving Wilson and the rest of San Francisco's rushing attack a huge boost in immediate value.

Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Perine (ankle) is expected to resume practicing this week, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

The rookie fourth-round pick hasn't played since Week 11, when he injured his ankle, but it appears as though he could retake the field soon. At such time as Perine does resume practicing, a 21-day window wherein he can be monitored without counting against the active roster will begin.

Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Jones may have fractured his pinky during Sunday's win over the Vikings, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The Buccaneers are still awaiting confirmation on the severity of Jones' injury, but it sounds like he played through the issue Sunday while amassing 80 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Jones could have to have a pin inserted if he's indeed suffered a fractured finger, but it doesn't appear that he's in any serious danger of missing time.

The Panthers are optimistic that McCaffrey (shoulder/thigh) will practice Tuesday and have a chance to suit up in Green Bay on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McCaffrey hasn't suited up for a regular-season game since Week 9, and he's made only three appearances on the field all year. It looks as though the do-it-all running back at least has a shot to contribute against Green Bay, but fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on his practice status. Mike Davis would figure to start again if McCaffrey can't go.

Gordon (shoulder) has had his plea and sentencing on a DUI charge scheduled for Jan. 14 and will not be at risk of a suspension in 2020, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Gordon will finish out the 2020 campaign without risk of punishment from the NFL after having appeared in court Monday, per Klis. However, he could be handed a possible suspension come 2021. That isn't to say that the 27-year-old's immediate availability isn't without question, considering that he injured his shoulder late in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Panthers. Gordon has amassed 233 total yards in his last two appearances, but his participation in practice will need to be monitored ahead of Denver's Week 15 game against the Bills.

Williams had 10 carries for 38 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

Williams played a lower percentage of the snaps than the week before for the third game in a row, with his 20 snaps Sunday checking in just one more than the season-low 19 snaps he received in Week 3. Williams did get the ball half the time he was on the field, but he was unable to provide much help for those that included him in Week 14 lineups. With the Packers turning more to Aaron Jones and the team's Week 15 opponent -- the Panthers -- doing a good job against opposing running backs of late, those still alive in the fantasy playoffs don't have much reason to keep a roster spot reserved for Williams.

Swift rushed seven times for 24 yards and one touchdown while catching four of five targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Green Bay.

After missing three games due to a concussion and subsequent illness, Swift returned to log over half of the offensive snaps, and his 11 touches were more than double that of Adrian Peterson (five). While Kerryon Johnson also saw some playing time, interim head coach Darrell Bevell looks like he will let Swift pick up where he left off as the Lions' clear feature back. However, the potential absence of quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) is something to keep an eye on in advance of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Titans.

Moss rushed 13 times for 43 yards while failing to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 26-15 win over the Steelers.

Moss saw his workload jump back up to double-digit carries for the first time since his Week 8 explosion against the Patriots (14 carries for 81 yards and two touchdowns). The 2020 third-round pick was less effective with the larger workload this time around, averaging just 3.3 yards per touch, but the Bills did end up getting the victory. Head coach Sean McDermott enlightened the media that Moss's benching last week was indeed the result of his fumble early in the contest. Not only did the rookie get out of his coach's doghouse, but he also surpassed co-starter Devin Singletary in carries by significant margin (13 to seven). While the carry share could flip back in the latter's favor next week against Denver, it appears that both will be involved in the game plan now that Moss is back in his coach's good graces.

Singletary rushed seven times for 32 yards and caught his lone target for two more yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over Pittsburgh.

Singletary saw his share of carries nearly halved in favor of Zack Moss, despite the former averaging 4.6 yards per carry compared to the latter's sub-par mark of 3.3 yards per carry. Perhaps it was based on the matchup, but the role reversal did not jeopardize the outcome for the Bills, only the outcome for those who were relying on Singletary to contribute his usual 12-15 touches. While Moss ended up with the larger workload Sunday night, it is clear that this is a two-back system being run in Buffalo, limiting both players' values while also keeping them relevant enough for deeper formats heading into a matchup with Denver on Saturday.
