Latavius Murray RB | BUF
Saints' Latavius Murray: Totals just two yards
Murray rushed four times for two yards in the Saints' 26-18 win over the Falcons on Thursday.
He wasn't targeted in the passing game. Murray has struggled to find fantasy relevancy since the Saints' Week 9 bye, logging double-digit carries just once in four games. In that span -- aside from his decent Week 12 -- he's rushed 19 times for just 41 yards. With Alvin Kamara back to full strength and leading the backfield in touches, Murray isn't a startable fantasy option outside of deeper leagues right now.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Totals 84 yards in win
Kamara rushed 11 times for 61 yards and brought in four of eight targets for 23 yards in the Saints' 26-18 win over the Falcons on Thursday.
Though Kamara's scrimmage yards were respectable, it was a disappointing performance for the third-year back. He snagged just four passes after averaging nine receptions across his last three contests, though his lack of involvement in the passing game was likely due to Drew Brees' struggles. Kamara continues to provide fantasy owners with useful stat lines, though it's concerning that he hasn't scored since Week 3. He'll try to buck that trend in a crucial Week 14 home matchup with the surging 49ers.

Ezekiel Elliott RB | LAC
Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Piles up yardage in loss
Elliott carried the ball 12 times for 71 yards and caught seven of 10 targets for 66 yards in Thursday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.
The running back has topped 100 scrimmage yards in two straight games and seven times this season, but his inability to find the end zone proved costly for the Cowboys. Elliott will look to keep rolling next week on the road against a Bears defense that just gave up 83 rushing yards to his former backup, Bo Scarbrough.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Bills' Devin Singletary: Tops 100 scrimmage yards again
Singletary carried the ball 14 times for 63 yards while catching three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 26-15 win over the Cowboys.
His TD came on a nifty trick play that saw wide receiver John Brown toss a strike to a wide-open Singletary, who trotted into the end zone for a 28-yard score. The rookie RB took awhile to earn the trust of the Bills' coaching staff, but over the last five games he's piled up 484 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, decisively supplanting Frank Gore at the top of the depth chart.

Matt Breida RB | SF
49ers' Matt Breida: Remains limited at practice
Breida (ankle) logged another limited practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Back-to-back limited sessions would appear to put Breida on track to suit up Sunday against the Ravens, though he could well draw an official questionable designation for the contest. If he's able to return this weekend, Breida would rejoin a backfield time-share that also includes Tevin Coleman, with Raheem Mostert and (to a lesser extent) Jeff Wilson also in the mix.

Chase Edmonds RB | WAS
Cardinals' Chase Edmonds: Elevates to full participant
Edmonds (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Edmonds may have taken the final step in his recovery from a hamstring injury with his elevation to all activity. If he puts and end to a three-game absence Sunday against the Rams, he'll rejoin a backfield currently led by Kenyan Drake. Since Drake arrived in Arizona from Miami in Week 9, he's dominated the reps out of the backfield, seeing 57 touches to David Johnson's six while Edmonds was absent.

David Montgomery RB | HOU
Bears' David Montgomery: Compiles 87 total yards, TD in win
Montgomery rushed 16 times for 75 yards and secured both of his targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Montgomery turned in a workman-like effort on the ground, with his long run of the day going for a modest 14 yards. He also delivered through the air when it mattered most, notching what would turn out to be a game-winning three-yard touchdown reception with 2:17 remaining. Montgomery's rushing yardage tally served as his second highest of the season, and he'll look to build on those numbers versus the Cowboys in a Week 14 Thursday night home matchup.

Dalvin Cook RB | DAL
Vikings' Dalvin Cook: Dealing with chest injury
Cook was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report due to a chest injury.
After racking up at least 100 yards from scrimmage eight times in the first 10 games of the season, Cook sputtered in the Vikings' last contest Week 11 with 57 total yards, his second-lowest mark of the season. The team's ensuing bye week meant the running back wouldn't be listed on an injury report again until Thursday, at which point he was estimated as a limited participant. He'll have two more practices to prove his health ahead of Monday's game at Seattle.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Titans' Derrick Henry: Limited again Thursday
Henry (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
Henry continues to operate under a cap on his practice reps, but Turron Davenport of ESPN.com mentioned the running back looked OK in the portion of Thursday's session open to the media. Friday's injury report likely will clear up Henry's status once and for all for the Titans' Week 13 visit to Indianapolis.
