Martin carried nine times for 39 yards during Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Bengals.

Martin received single-digit carries for the first time since Week 6 and managed a long gain of just nine yards. He failed to bring in his only target in the passing game and now has just two receptions over the last three games combined. Martin rode a three-game touchdown streak into this one, which had given him some fantasy value, but his yardage totals are too light to rely on each week. He'll look to take advantage of a beatable Broncos run defense next Sunday.

Williams rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and added 42 yards on four catches during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Chicago. Teammate Aaron Jones sprained his knee during the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Williams helped tie the game up late in the third quarter, taking the outside handoff and cutting through the Chicago defense on his way to a 10-yard touchdown, his first since Week 8 and just his second of the season. Williams had taken a backseat to fellow sophomore Aaron Jones this season, with Williams recording single-digit touches in eight of his previous nine games entering Sunday. With Jones reportedly battling a sprained knee and little else for Green Bay to play for this season, Williams might carry the load down the stretch. If he does, he'll start off against a middle-of-the-road Jets run defense, surrendering 4.5 yards per carry this season.

Edmonds ran for 22 yards on eight carries and added 22 yards on two catches during Sunday's 40-14 loss to Atlanta.

Week 13's two-touchdown game in which Arizona shocked Green Bay appears to have been a blip. Arizona has struggled mightily over the past two weeks with Edmonds not providing much production as David Johnson's clear backup. The rookie back did manage to record double-digit touches for the first time this season, but four of those came in the fourth quarter with the Cardinals down by multiple scores. Maybe, with the season and -- potentially -- this regime on its last legs, Arizona will try to get a better look at what it has in Edmonds. If that ends up being the case, there might be no better opponent than the Rams, who come to town next Sunday ranked as the easiest opponent in the league with 5.1 yards allowed per rush.

Drake (shoulder) rushed once for six yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 more in Sunday's 41-17 loss to Minnesota.

The hero in last week's win over the Patriots was strangely quiet in this one, as the Dolphins opted to feature rookie running back Kalen Ballage after Frank Gore injured his ankle. Expect Miami to continue with the thunder-and-lightning backfield approach should Gore sit out against the Jaguars in Week 16, with Ballage absorbing most of the early-down work and Drake operating as a receiver and in open space.

Henry carried the ball 33 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 17-0 win over the Giants. He caught one pass for zero yards.

Henry set a new single-game high in carries and combined that with impressive efficiency to provide another strong fantasy performance. His touches have been on the rise in four consecutive weeks, as the Titans' offensive gameplan has emphasized controlling the ball and clock. That suits Henry's style of running, and it should equate to him remaining the featured back over Dion Lewis and finishing the season strong. Notably, Henry has also done more with his opportunities of late, averaging four or more yards per carry in six of his past seven games.

Mack carried 27 times for 139 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Cowboys. He also caught one pass for a 10-yard gain in the 23-0 win.

The Dallas defense had allowed just one 100-yard rusher this season coming in, but Mack gashed them repeatedly en route to a new career high in rushing. He scored a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter and added a six-yard score to start things off in the third. Mack was bottled up on the ground over the last two weeks, but he still has at least 96 scrimmage yards or a touchdown in four of his last five games. He'll hope to retain a sizable role in the offense Week 16 against the Giants.

Ford rushed 14 times for 46 yards and added a seven-yard catch on his lone target in Sunday's 14-13 win over the Lions.

With Buffalo already missing its top two running backs, Ford took over as the last man standing after Marcus Murphy suffered a dislocated elbow. If none of Murphy, LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Chris Ivory (shoulder) returns in Week 16, Ford would get the start at running back in New England.

Jones believes he suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during Sunday's 24-17 loss in Chicago, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones missed two games due to a similar injury to his right knee last season, so he may be in danger of missing the rest of the campaign with as many contests left on the Packers' slate. The team should clarify his status in the coming days, but Jamaal Williams nonetheless is poised for an uptick in touches with Jones hobbled.

Zenner rushed 10 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 14-13 loss to Buffalo, adding three catches for no gain on four targets.

Zenner had a short touchdown overturned by replay in the second quarter, only to find the end zone from one yard out on the very next play. Receiving back Theo Riddick surprisingly led the team in rushing with 47 yard on eight carries while LeGarrette Blount managed just nine yards on seven carries. The trio appears primed to split work in a similar fashion against the Vikings in Week 16, barring the return of Kerryon Johnson (knee).

Mixon carried 27 times for 129 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Raiders. He added two catches for one yard in the 30-16 win.

Mixon enjoyed season highs in carries and rushing yards while averaging 4.8 yards per tote. He went in on a one-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter and capped off the scoring with a 15-yard scamper in the fourth. Mixon was hardly involved as a receiver, but that likely had to do with his team playing with a lead for most of the game. He'll look to follow up this stellar effort in Week 16 against a beatable Browns run defense.
