Wright did not log a carry or target during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.

Wright didn't go without an offensive snap versus Cleveland as he had in Week 16 against San Francisco, but he was uninvolved in Miami's gameplan. The rookie fourth-round pick looks set to close out the regular season as an afterthought behind all of De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson at home against the Jets in Week 18.

Wilson rushed three times for five yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.

Wilson again worked as the third backfield option for Miami behind De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert, but none of the Dolphins' running backs were able to get much going on the ground versus Cleveland. The veteran is likely to continue working ahead of Jaylen Wright during Week 18's regular-season finale against the Jets, though his role isn't one that carries notable fantasy value.

Mostert rushed six times for three yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over Cleveland. He also secured both of his targets for 16 yards.

Mostert, De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson were all inefficient out of the backfield versus the Browns, despite a game script in which Miami got out to an early lead and would have benefited from an ability to lean on the run. He'll attempt to bounce back Week 18 against the Jets, a divisional matchup in which a win could provide the Dolphins with a playoff berth.

Jones (quad) does not seem to be dealing with a major injury and has a realistic chance of playing Week 18 against Detroit, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Vikings pulled the running back from a Week 17 win out of caution after going up 27-10 near the end of the third quarter, although the decision nearly backfired when the Packers scored the next 15 points. It would stand to reason that Jones will suit up Sunday if he's at all able to, as the Vikings have a lot to play for. If they beat the Lions in the season finale, they'll secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC and get a first-round bye, while a loss would push them all the day down to the No. 5 seed.

Haskins recorded eight carries for 30 yards in the 40-7 drubbing of the Patriots on Sunday. He also caught his lone target for 10 yards.

With Gus Edwards (ankle) sidelined, Haskins slid right into the power-back role while playing a season-high 27 offensive snaps. Part of that could be due to game script as the outcome was never really in question after halftime, but that same sequence could repeat itself once more against the Raiders in Week 18 with the Chargers playing for better playoff seeding.

Vidal tallied five carries for 24 yards in the 40-7 win over the Patriots on Saturday.

Vidal played just nine offensive snaps with J.K. Dobbins (knee) returning after a four-week absence. Meanwhile Hassan Haskins operated in the power-back capacity in replace of the injured Gus Edwards (ankle) as Haskins played 28 snaps while Dobbins saw 42 in the game that quickly evolved into a blowout by the third quarter. Vidal has flashed some explosiveness in his rookie season, but the committee approach will likely relegate the 23-year-old to a mere depth piece entering the playoffs.

Allen rushed six times for 26 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.

Allen was stuffed on a fourth-and-1 just outside the red zone to end the Jets' opening drive, setting the tone for what turned into another disappointing afternoon for New York. He finished third on the team in rushing behind Breece Hall (10 carries for 45 yards) and Isaiah Davis (three carries for 35 yards). All three running backs will probably see action in Week 18 against the Dolphins, with Hall likely to maintain the lead role over Allen and Davis.

Davis rushed three times for 35 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills. He also had a 29-yard kickoff return.

Davis worked behind both Breece Hall (10 carries for 45 yards) and Braelon Allen (six carries for 26 yards). The rookie fifth-round pick out of South Dakota State has shown some promising burst on the ground and good hands as a pass catcher, averaging 5.1 yards per carry and 6.3 yards per target. Davis' touches will likely remain limited in the Week 18 season finale against Miami.

Mattison rushed 10 times for 32 yards and caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints.

Mattison somewhat surprisingly ceded the start at running back to 31-year-old Ameer Abdullah, who proved to be far more effective with 20 carries for 115 yards to go along with three receptions for 32 yards. Abdullah likely earned himself first dibs at a larger share of the backfield workload again in Week 18 versus the Chargers, as Mattison's efficiency concerns remain.

Strong carried five times for 33 yards and caught three of five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

The eight touches were the most volume Strong has seen in a game since Week 5. Jerome Ford sustained an ankle injury and was limited to 15 snaps, opening up opportunities for Strong and D'Onta Foreman. The duo could operate as the main backs in Week 18 against the Ravens if Ford is unable to suit up or is limited coming off the injury.
