Thompson garnered zero offensive snaps and 10 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 27-24 win at Tampa Bay.

The 23-year-old has been largely relegated from any offensive role since the Week 7 Chiefs debut of Le'Veon Bell, garnering at least one carry in a game only once (during a 35-9 win against the Jets in Week 8). Thompson has gone three consecutive appearances without fielding a single offensive snap, but there is a chance for him to get involved if Kansas City mounts a sizable lead against the road-underdog Broncos in Week 13.

Dallas garnered zero offensive snaps and 18 special-teams snaps during Monday's 23-17 win against the Eagles.

With Chris Carson joining Carlos Hyde in the Seahawks backfield after sitting out four games due to a mid-foot sprain, Dallas was relegated to a strict special-teams role. The fourth-round rookie out of Miami collected 28 rush attempts between Weeks 8 and 11, but he managed only 3.3 yards per carry. Three total touchdowns over that span boosted Dallas' fantasy value; however, it doesn't appear he will have much involvement Week 13 against the Giants unless there is an injury above him on the depth chart.

McKinnon had three carries for 21 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson had 16 and 12 carries, respectively, in their returns from injured reserve, leaving McKinnon to play a minor role. Playing time was split fairly even as none of three backs reached 30 offensive snaps, but Mostert and WIlson were clearing leading the backfield. McKinnon won't have fantasy relevance while they're healthy, especially with Tevin Coleman (knee) also nearing his return.

Mattison had two carries for six yards in Sunday's win over Carolina.

Mattison played 12 snaps on offense as he was used on a series when Dalvin Cook was briefly sidelined with a sore ankle. Earlier in the season, it looked like he'd get a decent number of carries to take the load off Cook. However, Cook has received nearly every touch out of the backfield the last three games.

Williams didn't get his hands on the ball during Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.

After playing 20 snaps last week versus the Raiders, Williams took the field for just eight offensive reps Sunday. That left minimal time for him to make an impression on the scorebook and he was ultimately unable to do so. It's unlikely his role will expand a ton barring both Clyde-Edwards Helaire and Le'Veon Bell missing time.

Williams played five offensive snaps Sunday in the Bengals' loss to the Giants, catching a pass for 13 yards and running once while losing two yards.

The carry was one more than fellow backup Samaji Perine received, with Giovani Bernard getting the lion's share of work. It's not at all clear the Bengals are interested in seeing more from him the rest of the way.

Perine saw the field for only seven offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Giants, catching one pass for two yards without getting any carries.

Perine went from being a contested free-agent pickup in the middle of the week when Giovani Bernard's concussion was announced to a droppable player by Sunday, when it was clear that Bernard would play after all.

Scott rushed twice for seven yards and caught five of six targets for 40 yards in Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Scott trailed only Dallas Goedert for Philadelphia's team lead in receptions. Despite the presence of Miles Sanders ahead of him on the depth chart, Scott has persisted as a useful change-of-pace threat, with his versatility as a pass-catcher working as an added bonus. Look for him to remain in the mix as a complementary piece in Week 13 versus the Packers.

Sanders rushed six times for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for seven yards in Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Sanders was hardly involved on a night Philadelphia threw the ball 46 times. In fact, the tailback barely topped quarterback Carson Wentz's five rushing attempts for his team's lead in the category. With minimal production through the air either, it was a forgettable display from Sanders, who easily set a new season low in scrimmage yards. The usually dynamic back will aim for a rebound effort in Week 13 versus a Packers defense that's been prone to allowing chunk plays to runners lately.

Edmonds had six carries for 29 yards and four catches (on five targets) for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss at New England.

On a day in which the Cardinals couldn't get much going through the air -- Kyler Murray averaged a measly 5.0 yards per attempt -- Edmonds' slight contribution as a receiver helped him finish third among the team's skill-position players with 43 yards from scrimmage. Only Kenyan Drake (93) and DeAndre Hopkins (55) compiled more such yards. In the 10 games that Drake has been available this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.2 touches for 56.7 total yards per game while scoring four TDs, so the latter still has utility when used as a complementary option out of Arizona's backfield.
