Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Harris was a candidate to be healthy scratch Sunday in any case, but given that he wasn't on the team's injury report earlier in the week, it appears he injured his hamstring injury during Friday's practice. Heading into Week 11, the rookie is off the fantasy radar, so long as the Patriots' backfield trio of Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead remains healthy enough to play.

Jacobs (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's home game against Cincinnati.

Jacobs was listed as a limited practice participant all week as he continues to manage a shoulder issue, but he'll be out there Sunday. Assuming he endures no in-game setbacks, Jacobs will profile as a high-end fantasy option at running back in Week 11 while facing off against a toothless Cincinnati defense. To date, the 0-9 Bengals have allowed a league-high 173.0 yards per game on the ground.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Edmonds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Edmonds' absence for a third consecutive game paves the way for the tandem of Kenyan Drake and David Johnson to lead the backfield in Week 11. Per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Kingsbury declined to name a starter among the two healthy backs, instead noting that he would take a "committee" approach with Drake and Johnson, who are both expected to have packages on offense. The Cardinals' muddled backfield will become even cloudier if Edmonds is ready to play again coming out of Arizona's Week 12 bye.

Wilkins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Wilkins sustained the ankle injury during last Sunday's loss to the Dolphins and didn't participate at practice this week. Jonathan Williams would serve as the Colts' No. 3 running back if Wilkins is unable to suit up this weekend.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said he will utilize a backfield committee in Sunday's game against the 49ers that includes packages for both Drake and David Johnson, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Drake led the backfield in the Week 10 loss to Tampa Bay, playing 64 percent of the snaps and garnering 16 touches while Johnson was limited to 43 percent and six touches, fumbling on one of them. A report earlier Friday suggested Drake was getting most of the work with the first-team offense during practice, but Kingsbury downplayed any notion of Johnson having his role further reduced. Drake steamrolled this same Niners team for 162 scrimmage yards just a couple weeks ago, albeit with both Johnson and Chase Edmonds (hamstring) inactive due to injuries. Johnson is no longer listed on the injury report, though he didn't exactly look spry last week. In any case, Drake is shaping up as the better Week 11 fantasy play, even if a starter-level workload isn't assured.

Sanders may be in store for the lead role out of the Philadelphia backfield Sunday against the Patriots with Jordan Howard (shoulder) listed as questionable for the contest, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Though Howard was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, coach Doug Pederson noted prior to Friday's session that the Eagles' top ground option hasn't yet been cleared to resume taking contact. Given that Howard hasn't fully recovered from the stinger he suffered in the Week 9 win over the Bears, there's reason to believe he may be limited or withheld entirely from the matchup with New England. If that's the case, Sanders -- who has earned double-digit touches just once in the past four games -- could be thrust into a more prominent role, especially with scatback Darren Sproles (hip) getting shut down for the season. The Eagles plan to add Jay Ajayi to the roster to bolster the team's backfield depth, but Sanders would still be the odds-on favorite to headline a Howard-less backfield.

Montgomery (ankle) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

This has all the makings of a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, with Montgomery appearing truly questionable for a game that kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET. He was listed as a limited participant Wednesday when he initially hurt his ankle during practice, before downgrading to no activity Thursday. The return to a limited session Friday suggests he has a real chance to play, with Tarik Cohen and Ryan Nall on hand in the event of an absence. The Bears waived Mike Davis last week, eating some dead-cap money in order to recoup a fourth-round compensatory draft pick.

Drake worked with the first-team offense -- ahead of David Johnson -- during Friday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Drake had the advantage in snaps, touches and production during last week's 30-27 loss to Tampa Bay, though neither running back found much open real estate against one of the toughest run defenses in the league. Johnson did himself no favors with a lost fumble in the fourth quarter, but Drake was getting most of the work even before that happened. The former Dolphin is the favorite to lead Arizona's backfield this coming Sunday in San Francisco, albeit with Johnson likely mixing in to some extent. Meanwhile, Chase Edmonds (hamstring) is set to miss another game, potentially aiming to return after a Week 12 bye.

Williams (not injury-related) won't practice Friday, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports

Per the report, the running back's Friday absence is an excused one, so at this stage it doesn't appear his availability for Monday night's game against the Chargers is in question. Saturday's final Week 11 injury report should confirm that notion, one way or the other.

Coach Dan Quinn said that Ollison "will definitely take on more of a role" in Sunday's game against the Panthers with top running back Devonta Freeman (knee) ruled out for the contest, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

The fifth-round pick out of Pittsburgh has been on the Atlanta roster all season, but he was a healthy inactive through the first eight games before filling purely a special-teams role in his NFL debut in last weekend's upset win in New Orleans. With Freeman sidelined for at least one game, however, Ollison should get his first snaps on offense, though both the rookie and veteran Kenjon Barner will rank as clear depth options behind Brian Hill. Thanks in part to Freeman's early exit versus the Saints, Hill picked up a season-high 40 offensive snaps, while Barner played 11.
