Carey suffered a concussion during Sunday's game against the Broncos, ESPN.com reports.

Carey rushed nine times for a team-high 32 yards before leaving with the head injury suffered on a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit by Broncos safety T.J. Ward. Carey was backing up Jeremy Langford on Sunday, as Matt Forte was out with a knee injury, but Forte may be able to return in Week 12 against the Packers, leaving Carey with limited fantasy upside even if he completes the league's concussion protocol quickly.

Sims gained 43 yards on 10 carries and secured three of four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-17 victory over the Eagles.

Sims was part of a Bucs ground game that tallied 287 total yards, the most in team history. The second-year pro had one of his more productive games on the ground, and had an opportunity with some additional playing time with the Bucs comfortably in the lead for most of the second half. He also secured his third touchdown reception of the season, making a difficult catch around two Redskins defenders down the right sideline to cap off a 13-play, 80-yard drive for the Bucs late in the second quarter. Sims and the Bucs next face the Colts in a Week 12 road tilt.

Martin gained 235 yards on 27 carries and was targeted once in the passing game but failed to catch a pass in Sunday's 45-17 victory over the Eagles.

At various points in the 2015 season, Martin has been reminiscent of the outstanding back he was during his 2012 rookie campaign. Never was this more evident than Sunday, when Martin tallied the second 200-yard performance of his career, with the first one having come in that outstanding rookie season versus the Raiders. The 235-yard total was also the most by any running back in the NFL this season, and came on the heels of three consecutive pedestrian performances by Martin in recent weeks. The fourth-year pro's massive rushing total was buoyed by a career-high 84-yard run and a 58-yard scamper, his two longest runs of the season. Martin will take aim against a vulnerable Colts defense in Week 12.

Draughn will be the 49ers' starting running back Sunday in Seattle, Taylor Price of the 49ers' official site reports.

Draughn is receiving his second nod in a row for the inactive Carlos Hyde, who is recovering from a stress fracture in his foot. Even if he receives the bulk of the carries, Draughn may not have the most fruitful outing against a Seahawks defense that has contained running backs to 3.6 YPC and three touchdowns in 2015.

Rawls' teammate, Marshawn Lynch, is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Seattle Times reports.

With Lynch scratched, look for Rawls to draw the start (his third of the season) at running back for the Seahawks on Sunday, with Fred Jackson and possibly fullback Derrick Coleman on hand to spell him.

McFadden (groin) is active for Sunday's contest in Miami, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Shrugging off a groin strain suffered mid-week, McFadden will continue to serve as the Cowboys' workhorse back, according to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News. If McFadden upholds his standard from four games as the starter -- he's received 31, 26, 28, and 20 touches during that span -- he shouldn't have a problem producing versus a Dolphins defense that's surrendered a league-worst 11 touchdowns to running backs in 2015.

Hunt was promoted from the practice squad Saturday, ESPN's Tania Ganguli reports.

Hunt will provide depth at the running back position for Houston, a necessary move considering Chris Polk (hamstring) didn't practice all week and is listed as questionable for the game.

McFadden (groin) will play Sunday, ESPN Dallas reports.

He's officially listed as questionable, but the Cowboys' lack of depth behind him precluded any thought of letting him rest his groin in advance of the short turnaround before Thanksgiving. McFadden has been seeing a huge workload since taking over as the starting RB, racking up 105 touches over the last four games, so it may just be a matter of time before the notoriously brittle player breaks down. Expect the Cowboys to get every snap they can out of him until that happens though.

Draughn figures to get a second consecutive start in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, the 49ers' official website reports.

Carlos Hyde (foot) won't even travel to Seattle and doesn't seem like a good bet to return for Week 12. Though far from spectacular in the talent department, Draughn did prove capable in Week 9 against the Falcons, picking up 58 yards on 16 carries and 38 yards on four reception. Kendall Gaskins may also get some carries, and Travaris Cadet could handle some passing-down work, but Draughn is the clear top choice in San Francisco's backfield. Granted, the 49ers are heavy underdogs in a matchup with one of the league's better defensive teams.

McFadden (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Miami, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

McFadden tweaked his groin during Wednesday's practice, leaving him as a limited participant both Thursday and Friday. Despite the designation on Friday's final injury report, McFadden said he's good to go, according to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He's been dominating the running-back snaps and touches, with no hint of an upcoming change, even though Robert Turbin is expected to be active for Sunday's game, according to Hill.
