Wilson (illness) returned to Sunday's 37-8 win over Green Bay in the third quarter.

Wilson was deemed questionable to return after he exited the game due to an illness in the first half. He came back in the third quarter and took a carry for two yards, but he didn't see any work thereafter, with Tevin Coleman and Raheem Mostert holding down the fort in the backfield. Wilson finished the night with two carries for 27 yards and one target that he didn't catch.

Mostert rushed six times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught a pass for 22 yards in Sunday's 37-8 win over Green Bay.

Mostert got another "co-start" alongside Tevin Coleman with Matt Breida (ankle) held out of action again. The 27-year-old did more with less than Coleman, but the latter figures to remain the 1A if Breida is forced out of action against the Ravens on Sunday. Mostert is averaging 6.3 touches in the two-plus games without Breida, which keeps him in the deep-league range of fantasy value against Baltimore's ninth-ranked rush defense if this starting configuration holds.

Williams rushed 11 times for 45 yards and caught seven passes (eight targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 37-8 loss to the 49ers.

Williams continued to outpace Aaron Jones in terms of receiving work (eight targets against just one), but the carry split is a bit misleading, as the former got some extra run in the fourth quarter when backups had already entered the game for both sides. Last game's zero-catch performance is looking more like an anomaly, as Sunday proved that the 24-year-old is clearly the team's receiving back (3.9 receptions per game excluding Week 10). Williams could get a few extra carries if next week's matchup against the Giants becomes a blowout in the other direction, otherwise he will be left for deep PPR formats.

Jones rushed 13 times for 38 yards and did not have a reception in Sunday's 37-8 loss to San Francisco.

The 49ers schemed a near-perfect gameplan against the Packers, stuffing Jones on the ground while limiting Aaron Rodgers to just 104 passing yards. Fantasy owners may have become accustomed to the 24-year-old's inconsistencies on the ground this season, as his fantasy point totals seem to be either monstrous or minuscule. Luckily for Jones and his owners, the Packers will have two very fantasy-friendly matchups against the Giants and the Redskins on tap, creating great bounceback potential for the offense as a whole.

Elliott carried the ball 21 times for 86 yards and caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 13-9 loss to the Patriots.

Rain put a damper on both team's offenses, but Elliott was still able to deliver triple-digit scrimmage yards for the sixth time in 11 games. The fourth-year RB is now 81 yards shy of rushing for 1,000 for the third time in his career, a milestone he'll try to reach at home next week against the Bills.

Wilson (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Green Bay, MJ Acosta of NFL Network reports.

Wilson showed no signs of anything bothering him when he rushed for 25 yards on his lone touch of the game thus far, but he's apparently battling an illness that's serious enough to put his status for the remainder of the contest into question.

Ollison registered 20 yards and a touchdown on eight carries, and hauled in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 35-22 loss to the Buccaneers.

The rookie back out of Pittsburgh has demonstrated a nose for the end zone through the early portion of his professional career, scoring on his very first NFL carry last week against Carolina, and punching in another from a yard out Sunday against Tampa Bay to provide him with two TDs on 12 total rush attempts. With Brian Hill managing only 1.8 yards per carry in his two-game audition as the starter and Devonta Freeman (foot) potentially facing his third straight absence, Ollison could transition into a more prominent role Thanksgiving night when the Falcons take on a Saints defense that contained Christian McCaffrey to fewer than 3.0 YPC in Week 12.

Henry carried the ball 19 times for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 12 win over the Jaguars. He also added one catch for 16 yards.

Henry delivered a trademark 74-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, shrugging off tackles and outracing defenders down the field. After the Jaguars fumbled the ensuing kickoff, he found the end zone for a second time -- this time dragging defenders to the goal line for a 12-yard score. Henry continues to demolish opponents, as Sunday marked his second consecutive two-touchdown game with more than 150 yards on the ground. He'll draw a matchup against the Colts in Week 13.

Mostert will serve as the 49ers' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Packers with Matt Breida (ankle) sidelined.

In the five games in which Mostert has received at least 29 percent of the offensive snaps this season, he's racked up 47 carries for 249 yards (5.3 YPC), six catches for 82 yards and one receiving TD. He'll be working behind Tevin Coleman in this contest, but Mostert has proved he doesn't need many touches to do damage both on the ground and through the air. Meanwhile, Jeff Wilson will round out the running backs on the 49ers' game-day roster.

Breida (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Packers.

As expected, Breida won't be on the 46-man game-day roster for the second consecutive contest, allowing Raheem Mostert and (to a lesser extent) Jeff Wilson to supplement starter Tevin Coleman out of the backfield. Because his initial timeline for a recovery was 1-to-2 weeks, Breida may be reaching the end of the road as he rehabs a low-ankle sprain. First, though, he must make his presence felt at practice.
