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.

Vaughn is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Available for the first time since Week 8, Vaughn will join LeSean McCoy and Kenjon Barner as reserve running backs after the team decided to make Leonard Fournette a healthy scratch. While Vaughn has averaged 5.8 YPC on eight rushes and hauled in four of seven targets so far as a pro, the rookie third-round pick likely won't do much more than spell starter Ronald Jones on occasion.

Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

The 24-year-old joined the active roster in early November and had 22 carries for 95 yards over the past six games, but he won't be suiting up for Sunday's contest. Jeremy McNichols will serve as the backup to Derrick Henry, and the return of Darrynton Evans from injured reserve should push Foreman even further down the depth chart.

Evans (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

Evans was activated from injured reserve at the start of the week, but he won't be suiting up in his first game back on the 53-man roster. Jeremy McNichols has secured the No. 2 job in the backfield behind Derrick Henry, and Senorise Perry is also active as a depth option.

Elliott (calf) is active Week 14 against the Bengals.

A calf injury caused Elliott to only be a limited participant in practice each day this week, but the expectation all along was that he'll suit up for the matchup against the Bengals. That notion was officially confirmed upon the release of inactives, leaving Elliott set to take the field under favorable fantasy circumstances. The Bengals are giving up 5.0 YPC to opposing running backs this season, which is the third-highest mark in the NFL.
