Perine is questionable to return to Sunday's road game against the Chargers due to a stomach concern.

There's no hint of the nature of the issue, but if Perine is unable to re-enter the contest, head coach Jay Gruden will likely touch on the running back's health in an upcoming media session. At the time of his departure, Perine had 17 carries for 45 yards and corralled all four passes sent his way for seven yards. Because his backup Byron Marshall was ruled out earlier due to a hamstring injury, the Redskins' sole healthy back on the 53-man roster is LeShun Daniels.

Cunningham caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bengals.

For the second straight week, Cunningham has taken a backseat to rookie phenom Tarik Cohen, as he only served as an occasional third-down back. With just 11 touches over the last six games, he's offered fantasy owners very little production.

McCaffrey rushed eight times for 35 yards and caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Vikings.

McCaffrey entered Sunday's contest with good momentum, but a couple of factors combined to contribute toward his Week 14 dip. Not only was the rookie going against Minnesota's exceptional defense, but veteran Jonathan Stewart's 103-yard, three-touchdown performance meant he wasn't needed as much as usual. Fortunately for McCaffrey, a bounce-back outing could be in store, as an inferior Packers defense visits Carolina next Sunday.

Breida rushed 12 times for 27 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 26-16 win over the Texans.

Breida got 12 carries for the second consecutive game, finishing just two attempts shy of starter Carlos Hyde's 14 on the ground. Hyde showed why he's the clear-cut No. 1 option in this backfield, gaining 51 more rushing yards than Breida while also finding pay dirt from two yards out.

Mixon (concussion), who did not practice this past week and was inactive Sunday, will look to gain medical clearance to play in advance of the Bengals' Week 15 road game against the Vikings.

In Mixon's absence, Giovani Bernard headed Cincinnati's Week 14 backfield, carrying 11 times for 62 yards and hauling in six passes for 68 yards, while backup Brian Hill logged two carries and one catch. Prior to exiting this past Monday's loss to the Steelers, Mixon parlayed his 17 snaps into seven carries for 34 yards and one catch for eight yards.

Jones lost two yards on four carries in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win in Cleveland.

Jones didn't get a touch until overtime the previous week but promptly converted it into a 20-yard touchdown to end the game. There were no such heroics this time around, as Jones barely saw the field while working behind Jamaal Williams, who had 15 carries, seven receptions, 118 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. Jones likely will have to settle for a handful of touches or less in a Week 15 road game against Carolina, as the Packers clearly are pleased with Williams' handling of a massive workload.

Mack carried seven times for 23 yards and caught two of three targets for an additional 21 yards during Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Bills.

The offensive game plan centered around the ground game due to the ongoing snowstorm, allowing Mack to finish second on the team in touches and scrimmage yards. He still mustered just 3.3 yards per carry against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL and saw Frank Gore touch the ball a whopping 37 times ahead of him. Mack should continue to play a part in Thursday's game against the Broncos, but the presence of Gore and the overall ineffectiveness of the Colts offense limits his fantasy appeal.

Williams took 15 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown and caught all seven of his targets for 69 yards and another score in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win in Cleveland.

Williams got off to a fast start when the Browns left him wide open for a 30-yard touchdown on the opening drive. He struggled to get anything going on the ground against an underrated run defense, but he did score a short touchdown on his third try from the one-yard line early in the fourth quarter. Williams ultimately topped 20 touches for a fifth straight week, while Aaron Jones lost two yards on four carries and didn't get any targets. Williams figures to stay busy in a Week 15 road game against the Panthers, regardless of whether Brett Hundley or Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) is under center.

Murray rushed nine times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Carolina.

Murray got two more touches than Jerick McKinnon, but gained 35 fewer yards from scrimmage. The former Raiders running back came in with 323 yards and four touchdowns on the ground over the previous four weeks, so this performance should be viewed as an outlier rather than a precursor of more struggles to come.

McKinnon rushed seven times for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for nine more in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Carolina.

McKinnon was far more effective on a per-touch basis than Latavius Murray, averaging 6.6 yards per rush compared to Murray's 1.6. Neither running back was able to get into a rhythm with Minnesota never holding a lead in this one, but the team's 10-3 record suggests gameflow won't be an issue most weeks. If McKinnon keeps outplaying Murray, he'll get a greater share of the workload moving forward after being out-touched, 11-9, in this one.
