Kenyan Drake RB | GB
Dolphins' Kenyan Drake: Scores miraculous game-winning TD
Drake rushed six times for 24 yards and caught his lone target for a 55-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-33 win over the Patriots.
Drake was looking at a massively disappointing afternoon entering the game's final play, but he managed to score an unbelievable touchdown to give the Dolphins the win. Ryan Tannehill completed a short pass to Kenny Stills, and two laterals later, Drake was able to navigate through numerous Patriots defenders for the touchdown. Frank Gore carried 12 times for 92 yards and Brandon Bolden had 60 yards and two touchdowns on two carries, as Drake received few opportunities in the run game. The exhilarating finish aside, the 24-year-old finished with fewer than 10 carries and 40 rushing yards for the fourth straight game. The Vikings' second-ranked rush defense (3.7 YPC) awaits in Week 15.

Corey Clement RB | ARI
Eagles' Corey Clement: Hurts right knee Sunday
Clement injured his knee during Sunday's game at Dallas and is questionable to return, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Clement's right leg was rolled up on at the end of a first-quarter carry. He remained on the turf for a spell before needing assistance to get to the locker room, according to Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. If Clement is unable to reenter the contest, Darren Sproles will serve as the primary pass-catching back Sunday and perhaps beyond.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Garners 87 scrimmage yards in win
Kamara rushed 12 times for 51 yards and brought in five of six targets for 36 yards in the Saints' 28-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also returned three kickoffs for 76 yards.
Kamara's totals weren't necessarily spectacular by any stretch, but he and Mark Ingram combined to give the Saints offense enough balance to notch the two-touchdown win. The 23-year-old back has only topped 100 rushing yards once this season, but he now has 13 catches over his last pair of contests and has hit the 70-reception mark for the campaign. Kamara will look to continue building up his numbers through both the ground and air against the Panthers in a Week 15 Monday night divisional matchup.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Browns' Nick Chubb: Extends rushing touchdown streak
Chubb rushed 13 times for 66 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 17 yards on six targets in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Panthers.
Chubb extended his touchdown streak to five games, turning a 20-17 deficit into a 23-20 lead early in the fourth quarter. He's carried the ball just 23 times over the past two weeks after logging 18-plus carries in each of the previous five, but the minor questions about Chubb's workload are overshadowed by his major scoring ability. Up next for the rookie running back is a Week 15 date with second cousin Bradley Chubb and the Broncos.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Scoring binge continues
McCaffrey rushed 16 times for 63 yards and two touchdowns while securing six of seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Browns.
McCaffrey capped the opening drive with a four-yard rushing score and found pay dirt from one yard out in the first minute of the second quarter. He would have had a third short touchdown later in the game, but it was called back on a hold. The versatile running back has found his scoring touch with 12 trips to the end zone over the past seven weeks, as compared to the measly one touchdown he scored in the first six games. Up next is a Monday Night Football date with the Saints in Week 15.

Saquon Barkley RB | PHI
Giants' Saquon Barkley: Sets franchise record with long TD
Barkley rushed 14 times for 170 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 40-16 win over Washington.
Barkley set the Giants' franchise record for touchdowns by a rookie in style, going all the way on a 78-yard scamper in the second quarter for his 13th of the season. Despite seeing a modest 18 touches due to the blowout nature of the contest, Barkley came up just three scrimmage yards short of reaching 200. He'll continue to be a set-and-forget RB1 against the Titans in Week 15.

C.J. Anderson RB | LAR
Raiders' C.J. Anderson: Inactive Sunday
Anderson is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Anderson being inactive Sunday suggests that Doug Martin (knee) should be able to handle his usual duties, with Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington on hand to work in complementary roles.

Doug Martin RB | LV
Raiders' Doug Martin: Suits up Sunday
Martin (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Though listed as questionable for the contest, Martin practiced fully all week, so his availability is not really a surprise. Assuming no setbacks, Martin is in line to head the Raiders' backfield in Week 14, with Jalen Richard set to work in a change-of-pace role and DeAndre Washington on hand in reserve. Meanwhile, newcomer C.J. Anderson is inactive. Martin logged a season-high 18 carries (for 61 yards) in the team's 40-33 loss to the Chiefs in Week 13, but how close he comes to matching that workload Sunday will hinge on game flow in a contest in which the Steelers are clear favorites.

Samaje Perine RB | CIN
Redskins' Samaje Perine: Not available Week 14
Perine (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Perine's inclusion on the Redskins' inactive list is less surprising than that of Kapri Bibbs, who also is a healthy scratch. With the duo unavailable Sunday, Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and Byron Marshall will compose the options out of the backfield.
