Boston Scott RB | PIT
Eagles' Boston Scott: Three carries in win
Scott carried the ball three times for six yards and caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over New Orleans.
Scott has seen single-digit touches in five straight games. Meanwhile, Miles Sanders and Jalen Hurts garnered 32 rushing attempts between them Sunday, suggesting Scott's role in the offense isn't likely to grow due to the switch at quarterback.

Gus Edwards RB | LAC
Ravens' Gus Edwards: Adds two touchdowns
Edwards rushed seven times for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 47-42 win over the Browns. He also caught his lone target for four yards.
Edwards scored from 11 yards out during the second quarter, then scampered in from the 19 to begin the third. That brought his season total up to six touchdowns, all of which have come over his last eight games. Although rookie J.K. Dobbins again led the Ravens' tailbacks in carries Monday, Edwards still followed last week's 100-yard outing with another valuable display, putting him in fine form ahead of a favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 15.

J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN
Ravens' J.K. Dobbins: Finds end zone again
Dobbins rushed 13 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 47-42 win over the Browns. He also ran in a successful two-point conversion.
Dobbins led the Ravens in rushes, ahead of Gus Edwards' seven. Although Edwards also scored twice while accumulating 49 yards on the ground, Dobbins was once again impressive with his workload. With a one-yard touchdown during the third quarter, the rookie has now scored in three straight games, garnering double-digit carries in each of those outings as well. Such success has Dobbins' value rising as the end of the season approaches, and in Week 15 he's rewarded with a matchup against a Jaguars defense that's allowed the third-most rushing yards in the league thus far.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Browns' Nick Chubb: Scores twice in narrow defeat
Chubb rushed 17 times for 82 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 47-42 loss to the Ravens. He also caught both of his targets for 21 yards.
Chubb set the tone for the Browns in the first half, scoring from seven yards to cap Cleveland's opening drive before punching it in from 14 yards prior to halftime. The tailback kept it going in the second half, although teammate Kareem Hunt scored twice when Chubb came out. Despite Hunt's presence, Chubb has been dominant this season, and he's been particularly hot lately. Over his last five outings, the 24-year-old is averaging nearly 110 rushing yards and has scored five times. That form should instill further confidence in Chubb despite facing an improved Giants defense in Week 15.

Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Cardinals' Chase Edmonds: Manages 53 yards from scrimmage
Edmonds turned seven carries into 32 yards and four catches (on five targets) into 21 yards during Sunday's 26-7 road win against the Giants.
Working behind starting running back Kenyan Drake, Edmonds continues to hover around 10 touches weekly en route to 57.8 yards from scrimmage per game and four touchdowns in 13 outings. Edmonds also earned almost as many offensive snaps as Drake -- 40 versus 44 (of 79) -- but the latter had 24 touches Sunday. Due to his versatility, Edmonds will continue to be a regular in the Cardinals offense, but his standing as the No. 2 RB hurts his ceiling.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn RB | SF
Buccaneers' Ke'Shawn Vaughn: One carry despite active status
Vaugh rushed once for minus-3 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-14 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
In uniform for the first time since Week 8, Vaughn logged just four snaps from scrimmage and matched that number on special teams. As his final line indicates, he was sparingly utilized, despite Leonard Fournette serving as a healthy scratch. Reports Monday indicate Ronald Jones may have suffered a fractured pinkie finger in Sunday's win, but there's a possibility the third-year back's injury doesn't cause him to miss any time and therefore has no tangible benefit for Vaughn.

Javon Leake RB | DET
Javon Leake: Moves to practice squad once again
Leake reverted to Washington's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
The Maryland product made his NFL debut during Week 14, receiving six special-teams snaps during a 23-15 win against San Francisco. Though Antonio Gibson (toe) was unavailable for the contest, Leake did not garner any of Washington's 23 RB carries.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Estimated as limited Monday
Jacobs (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.
It's not a surprise to see Jacobs' name on the Raiders' initial Week 15 injury/practice report. The running back headed into Week 14 action listed as questionable, but he was able to suit up and log 29 (of a possible 68) snaps on offense in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts. In the process, Jacobs carried 13 times for 49 yards and caught three of his five targets for 25 yards. Fantasy managers can't take anything for granted with Jacobs these days, but we suspect that he'll be available for this coming Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Rashaad Penny RB | CAR
Seahawks' Rashaad Penny: Preparing to play in Week 15
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Penny (knee) is practicing with the intent of playing Sunday against Washington, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Penny returned to practice last Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from the PUP list. The 2018 first-round pick immediately drew praise from the organization's leaders; Russell Wilson called him "electric," and Carroll said he "exceeded expectations with his movement and his quickness," according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. Penny hasn't played in a game in over a year, and if he suits up this week, he could be eased into a rotation with fellow running backs Carlos Hyde and Chris Carson. The Seahawks will make a decision on Penny's Week 15 status by Saturday.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
49ers' Raheem Mostert: Getting ankle checked out
Mostert is slated to have further imaging done on his ankle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
With that in mind, coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers will know more about the running back's status Wednesday. If Mostert is out or limited Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeff Wilson, Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon would be in line for added backfield snaps Week 15.
