Foreman will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm an initial diagnosis of a ruptured Achilles tendon, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Texans won't make an official announcement on Foreman's status until after the results of the MRI are read, but the expectation is that the rookie running back will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Foreman suffered the injury while finishing off a 34-yard touchdown run in Sunday's win over Arizona, his second score of the day as part of a 10-carry, 65-yard effort on the ground. With Foreman likely sidelined the rest of the way, Alfred Blue (hamstring) -- if healthy -- should step back in as the main backup to Lamar Miller beginning with a Week 12 matchup with Baltimore.

Cunningham caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Lions.

After seeing more work than rookie Tarik Cohen last week, the veteran took a back seat to the rookie in this contest. He's been held to fewer than 10 yards in two of his last three games, and he's a low-upside fantasy option with a scary floor in PPR leagues.

Anderson carried 13 times for 37 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bengals. He also caught two of three targets for 19 yards.

Anderson scored on a three-yard touchdown plunge in the first quarter, but he couldn't get much going after that and finished with a subpar 2.8 yards per carry. He watched as Devontae Booker piled up 98 scrimmage yards on 19 touches of his own, leading the team in both categories. With the team on a six-game losing streak since the bye and Brock Osweiler struggling under center, both Anderson and Booker could see similar workloads moving forward, though it's difficult to predict who will have the greater impact next week against the Raiders.

McKinnon rushed 14 times for 48 yards and brought in five of seven targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Rams.

McKinnon's final line wasn't awful by any stretch, but he did check in significantly behind backfield Latavius Murray's 95 rushing yards. On a brighter note, his five catches were tied for second on the team, but his 2.4 YPC left much to be desired. Even though Murray has outproduced him on the ground over the last two weeks, the Vikings are still splitting rushing touches fairly evenly between the two, which when combined with McKinnon's passing game role, keeps him a viable fantasy asset. He'll look to contribute in a key Thanksgiving Day divisional clash with the Lions.

Murray rushed 15 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns while also hauling in his only target for one yard in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Rams.

Murray and Jerick McKinnon notably came within just one carry of a 50/50 split of rushing touches, but the former was clearly the more effective of the two. The five-year veteran equaled his best yards-per-carry figure of the season (6.3) while also logging his third and fourth rushing scores in the last four contests. Murray has yet to reach the 20-carry mark in any game this season, but the 27-year-old appears to finally be at full health following offseason ankle surgery if his recent explosiveness is any indication. He'll look to continue surging against the Lions in a Thanksgiving Day divisional clash.

Mixon carried 20 times for 49 yards and caught two passes for no gain during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Broncos.

Mixon received 20 carries for the first time in his young career as his team looked to milk a lead, but he managed just 2.5 yards per carry and had a long gain of eight. On a positive note, Giovani Bernard received just four touches in this one, meaning the rookie's usage should remain high moving forward. Still, his 2.9 yards per carry on the season indicate he's yet to make the most of his opportunities -- a trend he'll look to buck next week against the Browns.

Williams rushed 10 times for 78 yards and brought in his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Williams outpaced backfield mate Kenyan Drake in rushing touches, but his final line was a bit deceptive. The 25-year-old racked up 69 of his 78 rushing yards on a single first-quarter scamper, but otherwise he averaged just a yard per tote on his other nine carries. The distribution of the ground game work is likely to continue to fluctuate on a week-to-week basis, making it somewhat hard to trust Williams and Drake regardless of format.

Ekeler carried six times for 40 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 54-24 victory over the Bills. He also secured both of his targets for 18 yards.

The rushing workload between Ekeler and starter Melvin Gordon, who received 20 carries Sunday, wasn't nearly as close as it was last week when Ekeler saw 10 attempts compared to Gordon's 16. Still, Ekeler continued to showcase his quick-twitch running style by busting out a 21-yard yard touchdown run in garbage time. The undrafted rookie now has found the end zone four times in the past four weeks with five total scores on the season.

Gordon carried 20 times for 80 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 54-24 victory over the Bills. He caught neither of his two targets, though.

After splitting carries with Austin Ekeler 16 to 10 in last week's loss to the Jaguars, this time Gordon outpaced his counterpart 20 to six. Along the way, he took advantage of a Bills run defense that's been repeatedly gashed in recent weeks to find paydirt for his fourth time in the past six games. However, outside of a couple long runs -- including his 10-yard touchdown scamper -- Gordon was rather inefficient on a per-touch basis. In fact, the Wisconsin product has only topped 4.0 yards per carry in three of 10 games this season.

Martin rushed 19 times for 38 yards and brought in two of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Dolphins.

Despite being given nearly 100 percent of the rushing touches once again, Martin's multi-week frustrations on the ground continued. He averaged under 3.0 yards per carry for the second straight week and fourth time in the last five contests overall. To make matters worse, the former Pro Bowler gained 13 of his 38 yards on one carry, leaving him with an average of 1.4 yards on his other 18 totes. Despite the difficult stretch Martin finds himself in, it isn't exactly clear if Jacquizz Rodgers, Charles Sims or Peyton Barber could do appreciably better behind an offensive line that's been consistently powerless to stop rushers from invading the backfield at the snap. Martin will look to bust out of his slump against the Falcons in Week 12.
