  • Eagles' Kenjon Barner: Scores on lone touch Sunday

    Barner rushed for a three-yard touchdown on his lone carry of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Barner's score started the third quarter off well for the Eagles, but with Darren Sproles, Ryan Mathews and Wendell Smallwood also around, it's hard to rely on his weekly workload.

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Could miss two weeks

    Henry could miss up to two weeks due to the calf strain he suffered prior to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of Titansonline.com reports.

    Henry hasn't been ruled out of this Sunday's game against the Packers, but any immediate involvement is expected hinge on pain tolerance, which could impact his practice level this week. While Henry's status is sure to be updated in the coming days, it appears Antonio Andrews should be prepared for a larger role behind starting tailback DeMarco Murray.

  • Raiders' Latavius Murray: Leads team to Week 9 win

    Murray was on the field for 43 of the Raiders' 88 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over the Broncos. In the process, he carried 20 times for a season-high 114 yards and three TDs and also caught one pass for 13 yards.

    Fellow running backs Jalen Richard (eight carries for 62 yards) and DeAndre Washington (10 carries for 35 yards) also got into the act as the Raiders' ground game dictated the pace in Sunday's win. Murray owners will need to look elsewhere for RB production this week, with the Raiders on bye, but he'll back back to head the team's backfield in Week 11 against the Texans at home.

  • Vikings' Cordarrelle Patterson: Six receptions in Week 9 loss

    Patterson had six receptions for 45 yards on eight targets in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

    Patterson was second on the team in targets and snaps among wide receivers on offense (40), as he and Adam Thielen have had about an equal workload as the No. 2 and No. 3 receivers the past three weeks. It looks like new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will continue to keep Patterson as a key component of the passing game.

  • Matt Jones RB | WAS

    Redskins' Matt Jones: Individual work Monday

    Jones (knee) took part in individual drills during Monday's practice, ESPN's John Keim reports.

    Jones didn't practice in the buildup to and was sidelined for the Redskins' Week 8 tie with the Bengals due to a knee injury, so his involvement level as Washington reconvened Monday is encouraging. That being said, it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to increase his workload further this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. Consequently, Wednesday's injury report should provide more useful information for owners.

  • Knile Davis RB | PIT

    Chiefs' Knile Davis: Receives four touches against Raiders

    Davis carried the ball three times for 10 yards and caught a pass for seven yards in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars.

    Davis remains behind both Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware (concussion) on the depth chart, but with Jamaal Charles (knee) potentially done for the season and Ware ruled out Sunday, Davis served as the relief back for West. The Chiefs did very little on offense this week, but the fourth-year back is unlikely to make much impact beyond the 10 snaps he received Sunday unless the other options are unavailable.

  • Rams' Benny Cunningham: Posts another pedestrian outing in Week 9

    Cunningham rushed three times for 10 yards and caught five of six targets for 32 yards during Sunday's loss to Carolina.

    There haven't been many opportunities for Cunningham behind Todd Gurley. However, Week 9 saw the snap counts between the two backs closer than in the previous two games, as Gurley received 43 offensive snaps compared to Cunningham's 25. Still, Cunningham is likely best viewed as a desperation stash/handcuff for Gurley owners, and being attached to the underwhelming Los Angeles' offense further limits Cunningham's fantasy potential.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Titans' Derrick Henry: Slated for MRI

    Henry expected to have an MRI on his injured left calf Monday, ESPN's Paul Kuharsky reports.

    Henry did not play Sunday against the Chargers after injuring his calf during pregame warmups. Although Henry described the incident as a 'pull' afterward, Monday's MRI should provide more clarity on his upcoming availability. With Henry out Sunday, Antonio Andrews was promoted to the Titans' second-string gig behind DeMarco Murray.

  • Buccaneers' Jacquizz Rodgers: No practice Monday

    Rodgers (foot) did not practice Monday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Rodgers' absence from Monday's practice comes just over a week after he sprained his foot during Tampa Bay's Week 8 overtime loss to the Raiders. While that injury prevented him from playing last Thursday against the Falcons, the extended layoff prior to Sunday's Week 10 clash versus the Bears leaves hope for Rodgers to return this week. At the moment, however, it remains unclear if he'll be able to do so, and Rodgers was seen still sporting a walking boot in the locker room Monday. With Doug Martin (hamstring) still out as well, Mike James and rookies Peyton Barber and Russell Hansbrough served as the Buccaneers' only healthy running backs to start this week.

  • Doug Martin RB | LV

    Buccaneers' Doug Martin: No practice Monday

    Martin (hamstring) remains out of practice Monday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Martin frustratingly hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring in Week 2, so Monday's continued absence is nothing new. However, given the time between last Thursday's game and this weekend's tilt against the Bears, Martin is afforded an extended window to potentially return, which would provide a significant boost to Tampa Bay's banged-up backfield. As it stands, though, Mike James, Peyton Barber and Russell Hansbrough were the only Buccaneers running backs in practice Monday, after Hansbrough was promoted from the practice squad to give the team another option.
