Cook rushed 22 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and secured two of four targets for eight yards in the Vikings' 26-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Cook's long run of the day went for a modest 14 yards, but he continued to chip away with multiple productive carries against one of the stingiest run defenses in the league to notch his seventh 100-yard effort of the campaign, including his second straight. The fourth-year pro's workload was modest compared to his season-high 32-carry tally from Week 13 versus the Jaguars, as game script limited his opportunities late. Nevertheless, Cook delivered for managers in the fantasy playoffs, and he'll look to keep it going in a Week 15 battle versus the Bears.

Jacobs (ankle) started at running back for the Raiders in Sunday's game against the Colts, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

A pre-game Instagram post by the running back suggesting that he wasn't playing Sunday caused a stir in the fantasy community, but once Jacobs began participating in warmups, it became apparent that he'd been joking and was in line to play, as had been previously implied by his active status for the contest.

Henry carried the ball 26 times for 215 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14 against the Jaguars. He added two receptions for seven yards.

Henry bounced back from one of his worst performances of the season in Week 13 by topping 200 rushing yards for the second time on the campaign. He ripped off three rushes of more than 20 yards, including a game-long 47-yarder as well as a 36-yard touchdown. Henry also found the end zone from one yard away midway through the third quarter. He should be in line to continue his big close to the season, drawing matchups against Detroit, Green Bay and Houston.

Drake (hip) rushed 23 times for 80 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Giants.

Drake was stuffed at the one-yard line on Arizona's opening drive, which ended with a turnover on downs after an incomplete pass on the ensuing play. He converted from the same distance against a significantly more tired Giants defense to put the Cardinals up 20-0 in the third quarter with his ninth rushing touchdown of the season and fifth in his last four games. Drake out-touched Chase Edmonds 24-11 in this one and should continue to lead Arizona's backfield in Week 15 against the Eagles.

Montgomery rushed 11 times for 113 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 42 yards in the Bears' 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.

Montgomery took the first offensive snap for the Bears 80 yards for a touchdown, and even though Chicago controlled this game throughout, he saw just 11 carries while the team chose to go with a pass-heavy approach, likely keeping him from having a massive performance. He's now posted at least 111 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in each of his last three games, and he'll remain a solid starting option during the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that Jacobs (ankle) is going through pre-game warmups in advance of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Schefter previously relayed that Jacobs indicated on Instagram that he wasn't playing Sunday despite being listed as active, but now Schefter suggests that Jacobs "appears to have been joking with the fantasy community." If that assessment changes, we'll update the situation.

Kelley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Kelley avoided an injury designation for Sunday's contest after dealing with a foot issue, but he'll still be sitting out as a healthy scratch. Austin Ekeler will lead the backfield while Kalen Ballage and Justin Jackson serve as the backup options.

Swift (illness) is active for Sunday's contest against the Packers.

Swift sat out Weeks 11 and 12 due to a concussion, and while he passed the protocol for head injuries during Week 13 prep, a non-COVID-19-related illness conspired to keep him out for a third straight game. After logging a full practice Friday, he was deemed questionable for this outing, but the aforementioned lack of limitations indicated he was trending toward a return. Indeed, Swift is back in the lineup and will look to take advantage of a Green Bay defense that conceded 72 yards from scrimmage on his 10 touches back in Week 2.

Jacobs (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Jacobs was considered questionable after practicing as a limited participant Thursday and Friday, but he's all set to play Week 14. The 22-year-old had only seven carries for 27 yards and three catches for 17 yards Week 12 and sat out last week's loss to the Falcons with the ankle injury. He gets a tough draw Sunday against a Colts run defense that's allowing 3.8 yards per carry.

Homer (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Jets.

Homer hasn't made any appreciable progress through his knee injury as he misses a fourth consecutive contest. With Homer sidelined and Rashaad Penny (knee) still working his way back from the PUP list, the Seahawks will continue to ride Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde and DeeJay Dallas out of the backfield.
