  • Chargers' Trayveon Williams: Makes way back to practice squad

    Williams reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Williams got his second elevation of the season ahead of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He worked as Los Angeles' No. 2 running back, logging 18 of the team's 48 offensive snaps (behind Kimani Vidal's 25 and Amar Johnson's four). Williams finished with three carries for minus-1 yard and caught his only target for zero yards. He also logged 12 snaps on special teams, returning one kick for 22 yards. The Chargers are on bye in Week 12, and rookie Omarion Hampton (IR, ankle) has a chance to return in Week 13. Even if that happens, Williams may still get elevated again, as Vidal is currently the only healthy running back on Los Angeles' active roster.

  • Amar Johnson RB | LAC

    Chargers' Amar Johnson: Heads back to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Johnson logged four of Los Angeles' 48 offensive snaps Sunday in a loss to Jacksonville. He carried twice for eight yards and didn't catch his only target. Johnson's elevation came as a result of Jaret Patterson having already been elevated from the practice squad the maximum three times this season. The Chargers are on bye in Week 12, and rookie RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) could be back for Week 13 if he's activated off IR. With that being said, Kimani Vidal is currently the only healthy RB on the Chargers' active roster, so Johnson could get his third elevation at some point before the end of the campaign even if Hampton suits up Nov. 30 against the Raiders.

  • Kendall Milton RB | CIN

    Kendall Milton: Back to practice squad

    Milton reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Milton was brought up to the Bengals' active roster to provide backfield depth due to the absence of Samaje Perine (ankle). Milton operated as the RB3 behind Chase Brown and Tahj Brooks, and Milton finished with two carries for two yards while playing four snaps on offense. Milton could be elevated for the Bengals' Week 12 home clash against the Patriots if Perine is not cleared to play.

  • Zamir White RB | LV

    Raiders' Zamir White: Won't play Week 11

    White (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against Dallas.

    White will be a healthy scratch for a fifth consecutive game as the Raiders roll with a three-man backfield of Ashton Jeanty, Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube for Week 11. White's next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Browns, though he's unlikely to be active for that contest unless Jeanty, Mostert or Laube were to miss time.

  • Jaydon Blue RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Inactive again for Week 11

    Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Raiders.

    Blue was active for the four games prior to Week 9, but he's once again a healthy inactive despite coming out of the bye week. Malik Davis is up as the Cowboys' RB2 behind Javonte Williams.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Impact limited to return game again

    Davis played one of 56 offensive snaps during Buffalo's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers in Week 11. He also returned four kickoffs for 158 yards.

    Davis continues to contribute firmly behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson on offense. In the three games Davis has been tasked with handling kick-return duties he's managed to impress, including with a crucial 44-yard return against Tampa Bay. He'll work to continue making the most of his opportunities on special teams versus the Texans on Thursday.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Elevated ahead of MNF

    Davis was elevated from the Cowboys' practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Davis could be active as the Cowboys' No. 2 running back ahead of rookie Jaydon Blue. The 26-year-old has appeared in three games this season, logging 89 snaps on offense and 275 on special teams. He's carried the ball three times for just six yards.

  • Michael Carter RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Carter: Role increases Sunday

    Carter had two carries for six yards and gathered in five of seven targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.

    Carter's 44 percent snap share marked his highest workload since Week 7, which can be attributed to Emari Demercado's early exit due to an ankle injury. Carter ended up playing one more offensive snap (33-32) than Bam Knight, who led the backfield with nine touches for 45 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. Demercado's status for Week 12 is unclear, but if he misses any time and Trey Benson (knee) isn't activated from injured reserve, Carter would split the backfield with Knight for at least this coming Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Diagnosed with knee contusion

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Jacobs suffered a knee contusion in Sunday's win over the Giants, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    LaFleur said injured reserve is not on the table, and Jacobs can potentially still play next Sunday against the Vikings. By all accounts, Jacobs has avoided a serious injury. If Jacobs does need to miss any time, Emanuel Wilson played 71 percent of the offensive snaps against New York and would be in line to handle RB1 duties for Green Bay.

  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Broncos' Tyler Badie: Non-factor against Chiefs

    Badie caught his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.

    Badie operated as Denver's No. 3 running back in Week 11, playing just eight of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps. The Missouri product failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest. Meanwhile, RJ Harvey stepped into the No. 1 role with J.K. Dobbins (foot) on IR, playing 38 snaps and handling 14 total touches. Badie is likely to continue to play a pass-catching role for the Broncos as the season progresses, with Jaleel McLaughlin handling primary backup duties behind Harvey. McLaughlin had six touches on his eight snaps and scored the only touchdown for the Broncos against a formidable Chiefs defense. The 25-year-old Badie will be difficult to trust for consistent production each week, making him a risky bet for fantasy managers when the Broncos return from their Week 12 bye to square off against the Commanders in Week 13.
