Ollison ran four times for six yards during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Panthers.

Ollison returned to offensive action Sunday after being relegated to special-teams duty in Week 13. The rookie has recorded carries in three of his last four games and scored in the first two, and he holds some value as a touchdown vulture. In most fantasy formats the downside is not worth the potential reward though, even Sunday against a 49ers defense that, while tops in the league against the pass, surrenders 4.6 yards per opponent carry -- 24th in the league.

Edmonds had a nine-yard carry and didn't haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Steelers.

Since sitting out three games and using the Cardinals' Week 12 bye to get past a hamstring injury, Edmonds has lost all sway he may have built up earlier in the season. Over the last two contests, he's logged just 11 offensive snaps -- all of them Sunday -- while Kenyan Drake (90) and David Johnson (37) handled the vast majority of RB reps. Without an injury to that duo, Edmonds is unlikely to make a regular impact out of Arizona's backfield.

Zenner was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Zenner was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins last week and exclusively played special teams during his lone game with the team. The 28-year-old has now seen game action with the Cardinals, Saints and Dolphins this season, and he's once again looking for a new team.

Gore was signed to Washington's practice squad Tuesday, Zach Selby of the Redskins' official site reports.

Gore spent time with the Chargers' practice squad earlier this season but was let go in October. He has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Williams was active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, but didn't have a carry or play a snap on offense.

He played five snaps on special teams. With Marlon Mack back from a broken hand, Williams will move back to the bench. He had two games with 100 or more yards rushing in Week 11 and Week 12, but was benched in the second half in Week 13 and has apparently fallen to the bottom of the depth chart. He may not get many carries the rest of the season as long as Mack stays healthy.

Wilkins had just one carry for one yard and played just nine snaps on offense in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay.

He had a minor role thanks to the return of Marlon Mack from a broken hand. Wilkins may not get many touches this week against New Orleans behind Mack and Nyheim Hines.

Boone had five carries for 13 yards in Sunday's win over Detroit.

Boone got some work in a game where the Vikings had a large lead in the second half. He hadn't had a carry since Week 3 and would need Dalvin Cook or Alexander Mattison to be injured to get significant touches.

Conner (shoulder) is expected to practice this week, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

The proclamation from coach Mike Tomlin isn't a surprise, as Conner has been listed as a limited participant on five consecutive injury reports. Still, the running back has appeared in just one of the Steelers' last six games (Week 11). Assuming he makes it all the way back for Sunday's contest against the Bills, he should retake the No. 1 role in Pittsburgh's backfield.

Thomas was placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a knee injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

The Jaguars made a pair of IR moves on Tuesday with Thomas and linebacker Jake Ryan being put on the shelf for the rest of 2019.

Hill had three carries for eight yards Sunday against the Bills.

Once again the rookie was on the field for a limited time as he recorded single-digit snaps for the second week in a row and third time in four games. He has too many obstacles to seeing a consistent role in the offense with Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson eating up nearly 70 percent of the rushing share while Gus Edwards also sees a healthy amount of carries. Hill and the Ravens will face the Jets on Thursday.
