Snell recorded seven carries for 15 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Jaguars.

Snell had consistent work on the goal line to begin the season, but he had limited touches over the past several weeks. However, he was more involved in Sunday's comfortable win, and he found pay dirt for the first time since Week 7 with a one-yard rush late in the second quarter. The 22-year-old has seen inconsistent usage this season, but it was encouraging to see him receive seven touches against the Jaguars.

Breida had two carries for four yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

Breida shed his injury tag prior to suiting up Sunday, but he was nonetheless unable to garner more than minimal work behind undrafted rookie Salvon Ahmed (12 carries, five catches). The veteran previously spent the first half of the season behind Myles Gaskin (knee), and there's been nothing to hint that the Dolphins view him as more than a backup option.

Johnson played one snap on offense and five special-team snaps in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Eagles.

While the Browns have become a run-dominant team, all the attention goes to Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Johnson's played one offensive snap since Chubb's return to the active roster Week 10. Johnson did lead the team in kickoff returns Sunday, getting two chances (40 yards) while rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones had one (30 yards).

Edwards-Helaire (illness) rushed 14 times for 69 yards and two touchdowns while securing one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Raiders.

Edwards-Helaire was forced to miss a practice with an undisclosed illness (though not one that would land him on the COVID-19/reserve list), but he was cleared well before Sunday's kickoff. The breakout star's carries dipped to single digits over the past three contests following the addition of Le'Veon Bell, but CEH returned to his early season form with 15 touches and two trips to the end zone. Bell remained a noticeable part of the rotation (eight touches and a score of his own), but this touch distribution likely better reflects how the playing time will shake up in a competitive contest, as two of the three previous games were of the blowout variety, and the third (a comeback win over Carolina) appeared to be lopsided early on. Sunday's game script better represented a traditional Andy Reid scheme, which can only be viewed as positive for those banking on the rookie. Bell may still eat into Edward-Helaire's production, but it appears that the latter is the preferred back to roster in fantasy heading into what should be another competitive matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Jacobs rushed 17 times for 55 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.

Jacobs was held under 4.0 yards per carry by Kansas City's defense for the second time in as many meetings this year. Unlike their previous meeting back in Week 5, the bruising back saw fewer touches and one less score despite the Raiders playing ahead for the majority of the contest. Perhaps a more run-centric gameplan could have altered the disappointing outcome of the contest for the rising star and the rest of Raider Nation. Despite the inefficient output, Jacobs reached double-digit fantasy points in standard scoring formats for the fourth consecutive week. The 3-7 Falcons are on tap Sunday, but they have been playing better of late, and have been particularly stingy against the run this season (99.0 rushing yards allowed per game).

Foreman rushed the ball one time for one yard in Week 11 against the Ravens.

Foreman was the only back to receive a carry besides Derrick Henry in the contest. He was given minimal opportunity, though it is notable that he entered the game ahead of Jeremy McNichols. The backup role behind Henry will become only murkier once Darrynton Evans (hamstring) is able to return to game action.

Williams carried the ball five times for 12 yards in Week 11 against the Colts. He added one reception on two targets for four yards and a touchdown.

Williams was out-touched by Aaron Jones 14-6, but he managed to tally his second touchdown of the season. He found the end zone on a four-yard reception just before halftime, beating defenders to the corner of the end zone on a dumpoff pass. Williams has seen his role in the passing game diminish as Davante Adams has dominated targets throughout the season, making him a more traditional backup to Aaron Jones in the backfield.

Hines recorded six rushes for two yards in Week 11 against the Packers. He added three receptions for 31 yards.

Hines recorded 115 total yards in Week 10 and worked as the lead back early on against the Packers as a result. However, he could not carry over his efficiency and was regularly stuffed behind the line on his rushing attempts. Hines did remain involved as a pass-catcher and had a six-yard receiving score nullified by a holding penalty. Though his strength as a receiver out of the backfield will keep him involved in the offense, it's unlikely that Hines will see a lead-back workload regularly as the season comes to a close.

Jones carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Colts. He added four receptions for 30 yards.

Jones out-touched Jamaal Williams 14-6 but was limited by the fact that the team attempted only 18 rushes overall. Nevertheless, he found the end zone on a two-yard rush early in the second quarter for his seventh touchdown of the campaign. Jones was also effective as a receiver out of the backfield and has logged at least four receptions in six of his eight contests this season. He will face a strong run defense in Week 12 against the Bears, though his receiving ability ensures his involvement in the offense and a chance to remain productive.

Taylor rushed the ball 22 times for 90 yards in Week 11 against the Packers. He added four receptions for 24 yards.

One week after being minimized in the offense, Taylor earned his first workhorse role. He looked comfortable, keeping the offense on schedule while also ripping off some big runs of 18 and 14 yards. Encouragingly, Taylor also remained involved in the passing attack and led the backfield with four receptions. While the Packers have been a soft matchup for running backs all season, the performance may have been what Taylor needed to find his footing during an uneven rookie campaign. He'll look to build on his best performance as a pro in Week 12 against the Titans.
