  • Jeff Wilson RB | MIA

    49ers' Jeff Wilson: Records first catch of 2019

    Wilson caught a two-yard pass during Thursday's 28-25 win over Arizona.

    Wilson's target was just his second of the season after 15 targets in six games in 2018. Wilson has had some big games in his first two seasons in the league, including back-to-back two-score games in Weeks 2 and 3 when San Francisco's backfield was banged up. The sophomore back can produce in Kyle Shanahan's offense when given the opportunity, but at the moment there are too many other weapons available to give Wilson those opportunities. Next up is a Seattle defense surrendering 4.7 yards per carry, sixth worst in the league.

  • Craig Reynolds RB | WAS

    Craig Reynolds: Waived by Washington

    Reynolds was waived by the Redskins on Tuesday, The Athletic's Rhiannon Walker reports.

    Reynolds did not log a single offensive snap in three games after being promoted to the Redskins' active roster, but he'll now potentially be a candidate to rejoin the practice squad. The roster move indicates an expectation that fellow running back Derrius Guice (knee) will return for a Week 11 matchup against the Jets.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Raiders' Josh Jacobs: Turns in full workout

    Jacobs (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Jacobs' unrestricted showing clears up any concern about his health heading into Thursday's game against the Chargers. The rookie should be in store for another sizable workload after earning no fewer than 17 touches in any of the Raiders' past five games.

  • James Conner RB | ARI

    Steelers' James Conner: Could be back Week 10

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that he's "optimistic" Conner (shoulder) will be ready to play Week 10 against the Rams, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Per Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site, Tomlin noted that Conner would remain limited in the early portion of the team's practice schedule this week, but the coach expects the running back will be able to ramp things up as Sunday's game approaches. If Conner incurs no setbacks with his sprained right shoulder during practice, he could be ready to step back into his normal lead role out of the backfield right away after a one-game absence. Jaylen Samuels and Trey Edmunds (ribs) split the backfield reps in the Week 9 win over the Colts, with the former making his biggest impact in the passing game and the latter leading the Steelers' ground attack.

  • Benny Snell RB | DET

    Steelers' Benny Snell: Won't play in Week 10

    Snell (knee) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Shortly after the Steelers' Oct. 28 win over the Dolphins, Snell underwent surgery to trim the meniscus on his injured knee. The recovery timeline for the procedure is estimated at 2-to-3 weeks, so it comes as little surprise that the rookie will be sidelined for a second straight game. Trey Edmunds will continue to operate as the No. 3 option on the depth chart for the duration of Snell's absence.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Reclaims minor role against Pats

    Hill had three carries for seven yards Sunday against the Patriots.

    After seeing his usage bottom out in Seattle, Hill got himself slightly more involved in the offense coming off the bye against New England. He played 10 snaps and got work on three of those plays, though Hill was ineffective on those runs as he averaged just 2.3 yards per carry. Hill hasn't played more than seven snaps in any game this season and has has played five-or-less snaps in four of his last five outings.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Involved early in win

    Polland carried the ball three times for 21 yards and caught one of three targets for nine yards in Monday's win over the Giants.

    Surprisingly, the Cowboys' No. 2 RB saw some early red-zone touches rather than being used later in the game to give Ezekiel Elliott a breather, but after Pollard dropped a screen pass that could have resulted in a TD, he was mostly relegated to the bench once again. The rookie now has 230 rushing yards with an impressive 4.8 YPC and one TD on the year, while catching five of seven targets for 37 yards.

  • Chiefs' Darrel Williams: Totals just one carry

    Williams ran just once for one yard Sunday against the Vikings.

    Williams was also targeted once in the contest, but he failed to haul it in and finished the day with a grand total of one yard. While he did see a two-snap uptick in playing time to reach double digits again, the second-year back remains stuck behind both Damien Williams and LeSean McCoy on the depth chart.

  • Buccaneers' Dare Ogunbowale: Logs second rushing score of season

    Ogunbowale scored a one-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry and secured his only target for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Ogunbowale powered in from one yard out with 46 seconds remaining to erase a 34-27 deficit and notch his second rushing score of the campaign. The change-of-pace back has now logged over 20 snaps from scrimmage in three straight and six of seven overall, but the 25-year-old remains an option in only very deep PPR formats due to his limited touches.

  • Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott: Tops century mark in win

    Elliott rushed 23 times for 139 yards, but was not targeted in Monday night's 37-18 win over the Giants.

    Elliott once again was a force on the ground, hitting the 100-yard mark for a third consecutive game. In fact, his output Monday set a new season high. Despite that production, Elliott didn't find the end zone for just the second time this season, and he wasn't targeted in the passing game for only the second time in his four-year career. Those factors prevented him from posting an even better performance, but Elliott still takes considerable momentum into Week 10's visit from the Vikings.
