Chubb carried 15 times for 106 yards and caught his only target for 11 additional yards during Sunday's 27-19 win over the Bengals.

Chubb averaged an impressive 7.1 yards per carry, although he was largely bottled up outside of an explosive 57-yard gain. He watched as Kareem Hunt received double-digit touches yet again and scored a short rushing touchdown despite lackluster results on most of his carries. Hunt's presence has certainly limited Chubb's weekly ceiling due to decreased usage, but he's still averaged 95.6 rushing yards over the last five games to put him near 1,300 for the season. He will look to thrive in next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Cardinals.

Mixon carried 23 times for 146 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Browns. He also caught three of four targets for 40 additional yards in the 27-19 loss.

Mixon gashed the Cleveland defense for 6.3 yards per carry on his way to a new season high in rushing yards. He scored a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter and rounded out his performance with a season best in receiving yardage as well. It's been slow going at times for Mixon this season, but he's averaged 93.8 rush yards per game over the last five while scoring touchdowns in three of his last four. He will look to continue his strong run of form next Sunday against the Patriots.

Freeman rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Texans.

The highlight of Freeman's day was a three-yard receiving touchdown in the final minute of the first half. That was his first career receiving score, though Freeman has emerged as a reliable receiver out of the backfield with 36 catches this season. He has averaged only 7.6 touches per game over the past five after reaching double digits in each of the first eight.

Cook carried the ball 18 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 14 win over the Lions. He also added two receptions for 13 yards.

For the third consecutive game, Cook failed to record a run of greater than nine yards. However, he ultimately came through with a decent statistical performance due to a three-yard touchdown run just prior to halftime. Though there was some concern over the Cook's health throughout the week, his 20 total touches suggest that he was feeling good enough to remain a focal point of the team's game plan. Unless there is a setback, that should remain the case for Week 15 against the Chargers.

Kamara rushed 13 times for 25 yards, adding four receptions for 18 yards in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Kamara couldn't get much going in Sunday's close loss, accounting for his lowest output from scrimmage all season. The third-year back added to his eight-game streak of scoreless performances dating to Week 3, and his stats during that span have been concerning. Over his last eight contests, Kamara has averaged just 85.5 yards from scrimmage per game, though his 6.4 receptions per contest have buoyed some otherwise lackluster efforts in PPR formats. He can't be benched given his immense upside, though he'll be a volatile fantasy playoff option when New Orleans takes on Indianapolis in Week 15.

McCaffrey ran for 53 yards on 11 carries and caught 11 of 12 targets for 82 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-20 loss to Atlanta.

Over the past month, McCaffrey has been even more dominant than usual in terms of his contributions as a pass catcher, hauling in seven or more passes in each of his past four outings, while exceeding 65 receiving yards in three of those four appearances. As a rusher, too, he was able to have an effective afternoon against the Falcons' front seven, averaging better than 4.8 yards per carry after being held to a collective 3.0 yards per rush against New Orleans and Washington the past two weeks. A far more challenging matchup awaits Week 15, with McCaffrey and Carolina's ground attack facing off against Seattle's top-10 rush defense.

Murray rushed seven times for 69 yards, adding two receptions for 25 yards in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Murray accounted for his most yards from scrimmage since Week 8 when he was still the starter. It was an encouraging performance after going for just two yards Week 13, and he actually led the backfield in yards from scrimmage, out-gaining Alvin Kamara, 94-43, on eight fewer touches. Kamara clearly is the lead back right now, and Murray has logged just under eight touches per game across his last five contests. That kind of volume doesn't translate to a weekly fantasy starter, despite big games like this one that occasionally crop up.

Mack (hand) rushed 13 times for 38 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

Mack wasn't effective on a per-carry basis against the stingy Tampa Bay front in his return from a hand injury, but he found the end zone from two yards out in the second quarter. That was his fifth touchdown of the season, and it salvaged an otherwise forgettable performance. Mack has now reached the 900-yard mark on the ground in consecutive seasons, and he'll serve as the Colts' featured back when the team visits New Orleans in Week 15.

Jacobs (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 tilt against the Titans.

This announcement makes official what had been increasingly expected throughout the day, with Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reporting Jacobs is dealing with a fracture of his shoulder plate and has an MRI scheduled for this coming week. In his absence, change-of-pace options Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington will be tasked with filling Jacobs' shoes and likely will operate in tandem to soak up the significant workload the latter had been enjoying.

Jacobs (shoulder) is not in line to be active Sunday against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Official confirmation of Jacobs' status will arrive upon the release of the Raiders' inactives in advance of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but in his expected absence, DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard are slated to handle the Raiders' Week 14 rushing duties. Rapoport adds that Jacobs has an MRI on tap in the coming days.
