Chubb rushed nine times for 31 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 29-13 loss to Houston.

Chubb finally got his team on the board with a two-yard touchdown in the third quarter, cutting Houston's lead to 23-7. This game shows that the Browns still have a ways to go before they're consistently competitive against quality competition, but Chubb's nose for the end zone has allowed him to become a largely matchup-proof option in the latter stages of his rookie campaign. Chubb heads into a Week 14 meeting with Carolina having scored a rushing touchdown in each of the past four games, while also compiling two receiving scores over that span.

McCaffrey carried 10 times for 106 yards Sunday against the Buccaneers. He also caught nine passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in the 24-17 loss.

McCaffrey wasn't used extensively as a rusher, but he still managed to go over 100 yards on the ground for the second straight game. He was also very productive as a pass catcher, leading the team in receptions while adding his sixth touchdown grab of the season. McCaffrey has averaged an outstanding 160.6 scrimmage yards per game over the last five, adding eight total touchdowns in that span. He'll enjoy another favorable matchup in Week 14 against the Browns.

Hines rushed for five yards on four carries and caught all nine of his targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Jaguars.

The Colts went with a pass-heavy approach with starting running back Marlon Mack (concussion) perhaps operating at less than 100 percent. Hines was the beneficiary of that game plan, finishing with 13 touches to Mack's nine. Hines could see increased involvement again if Indianapolis falls behind in Week 14 against a Texans team that comes in riding a nine-game winning streak. However, Mack's likely to be closer to full strength by then and should see a larger share of work out of the backfield.

Edwards carried 21 times for 82 yards in Sunday's 26-16 win over the Falcons.

As expected, Edwards led the Ravens' Week 13 backfield, even though he approached the weekend with a "questionable" designation due to an ankle issue. It's worth noting that with four minutes left in the game, Edwards was spotted limping off the field, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. We'll have to see if that turns into anything that may impact the running back's Week 14 status. With Alex Collins (foot) on IR, Kenneth Dixon and Ty Montgomery are next up in the Ravens' RB pecking order behind Edwards.

Mack (concussion) rushed eight times for 27 yards and caught his lone target for six more yards in Sunday's 6-0 loss to Jacksonville.

Mack cleared the concussion protocol ahead of this one, but the Colts looked reluctant to give him a heavy workload, instead opting to let Andrew Luck throw the ball 52 times. Indianapolis' starting running back had mustered 85-plus rushing yards in four of his previous six games, so a bounce-back effort is possible against the streaking Texans in Week 14.

Barner is active for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.

Barner will make his Panthers debut after being scooped off waivers ahead of Week 11's contest. He won't get any reasonable time in the backfield behind Christian McCaffrey, but Barner may be tasked with returning kicks since Damiere Byrd (arm) is on injured reserve.

Edwards (ankle), who is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, will start and isn't expected to face any limitations due to the injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The questionable designation Edwards carried into the contest implied some level of concern about his health, but apparently not enough for the Ravens to institute a hard cap on his play count. After racking up 233 yards on 40 carries the past two weeks, Edwards should be in store for another big workload on the ground against a shaky Atlanta defense, assuming game flows allows for it. Ty Montgomery and Kenneth Dixon are more likely candidates to pick up snaps out of the backfield on obvious passing downs.

Edwards (ankle) "shouldn't be limited" Sunday against the Falcons, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Edwards missed practice Wednesday, but Hensley notes that the running back, "looked fine moving around Thursday and Friday." With Alex Collins (foot) now on IR, Ty Montgomery should be next in line for touches in the Ravens' Week 13 backfield behind Edwards, with Kenneth Dixon and Javorius Allen also on hand.

Edwards (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Assuming no setbacks with his ankle, Edwards, who has logged 40 carries for a total of 233 yards over the past two weeks, is in line to see his share of work on the ground Sunday while sharing rushing touches with signal-caller Lamar Jackson, who will start in place of Joe Flacco (hip) for the third straight game. With Alex Collins (foot) having been place on injured reserve, Ty Montgomery, Kenneth Dixon and Javorius Allen are available to handle complementary duties in Week 13.

Mack (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Mack is thus on track to head the Colts' backfield Sunday against a Jacksonville defense that got the best of him in Week 10, limiting the running back to 29 yards on 12 carries and nine yards on two catches in a 29-26 Indy win. He'll look to bounce back Sunday, with the Jaguars on a seven-game losing slide. Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins are on hand to work in complementary roles for the Colts in Week 13 and would step in in the event that Mack suffers any injury setbacks Sunday.
