Allgeier carried the ball 11 times for 22 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants.

With rookie Michael Penix making his first NFL start, the Falcons leaned heavily on their running game, but Allgeier failed to do much with his volume while watching Bijan Robinson turn 24 touches into 103 scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs. Allgeieir has carried the ball 40 times over the last four games, managing 144 yards and a touchdown, and Atlanta will likely try to feature a run-heavy approach again in Week 17 against the Commanders.

Robinson carried the ball 22 times for 94 yards and two touchdowns and caught both his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Giants.

The second-year running back produced his third multi-TD game of the season while topping 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth straight contest and the ninth time in the Falcons' last 10 games. Robinson is up to 10 rushing touchdowns on the campaign, plus one receiving score, to go along with 1,616 scrimmage yards, putting him in fairly exclusive company -- only Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry also have double-digit scores and 1,600 combined yards so far in 2024. Robinson will look to keep rolling in Week 17 against the Commanders.

Pollard rushed eight times for 35 yards and brought in two of four targets for five yards in the Titans' 38-30 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also had a two-point conversion rush.

Pollard was ultimately the more efficient on the ground between him and backfield mate Tyjae Spears, but the latter recorded two rushing touchdowns while also logging two additional carries and one more target. Pollard did post a scoring run when he punched in a two-point conversion after Spears' first touchdown late in the third quarter, but he's now recorded under 50 rushing yards in five of the last seven games while also dealing with a nagging ankle injury. The division of labor in the Titans' backfield is an unwelcome open question for fantasy managers heading into championship weekend in many leagues, and Tennessee will visit the Jaguars next Sunday.

Patterson secured his lone target for a 12-yard touchdown during Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

Although Patterson scored his first touchdown of the season Saturday, he was limited to single-digit offensive snaps for a third consecutive week. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have stayed healthy for most of the season, so Patterson hasn't had much of a role on offense.

Williams rushed 23 times for 122 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Jets.

Williams powered in his 15th total touchdown of the season on a two-yard run in the second quarter, matching his touchdown total from last season. He provided the majority of the Rams' offensive production as Matthew Stafford threw for only 110 yards in frigid conditions at MetLife Stadium. Williams has surpassed 100 rushing yards in three of his last four games after reaching that threshold only once through Week 12. The star running back will look to continue his late-season surge against the Cardinals in Week 17.

Tracy carried the ball seven times for 26 yards and caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons.

He couldn't get much going on the ground, but Tracy was on the other end of Drew Lock's first TD pass of the season, a two-yard toss early in the second quarter that saw the rookie RB make a leaping catch at the back of the end zone and get both feet down in bounds. Lock was otherwise a disaster, throwing two pick-sixes among his three giveaways, and the Giants' offense couldn't get anything else going. Tracy remains firmly atop the backfield depth chart for New York heading into a Week 17 clash with Indianapolis, but what fantasy upside he offers will likely continue to come through the air.

Hubbard took 25 carries for 152 yards and two touchdowns while chipping in four receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win over Arizona.

Hubbard was the hero for Carolina in Sunday's unlikely victory when he ripped off a pair of huge runs on consecutive plays in overtime that culminated in the game-winning score. The breakout fantasy star was coming off of his worst performance since Week 1 (10-32-0 in Week 15), so Sunday's outburst was reassuring for fantasy managers still vying for a championship this season. Hubbard and the Panthers can continue playing the role of spoiler against the Buccaneers next Sunday after successfully knocking the Cardinals out of playoff contention.

Taylor rushed 29 times for 218 yards and three touchdowns in the Colts' 38-30 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Coming off a game during which he inadvertently squandered a touchdown by releasing the ball before he broke the plane of the goal line, Taylor appeared to be on a quest for atonement Sunday. The talented back ripped off the first of his three touchdowns on a 65-yard breakaway run in the second quarter, and he subsequently struck from 70 yards on the first play of the second half before adding a one-yard scoring run later in the third quarter for the trifecta. Taylor's massive yardage total was the second highest of his career, bested only by his 253-yard franchise-record performance in Week 17 of his rookie 2020 campaign. Taylor has now eclipsed the century mark on six occasions this season heading into a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Giants.

Hill (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Sunday's practice estimate.

Baltimore faced Pittsburgh on Saturday, with the team holding a late-afternoon walkthrough one day later. Given that Hill sustained a concussion versus the Steelers, his status for Wednesday's game against the Texans is cloudy on a short week. If Hill is sidelined for the contest, Rasheen Ali and Keaton Mitchell would be in line to see complementary snaps behind top back Derrick Henry.

Gibbs rushed 23 times for 109 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears.

Gibbs got all the touches he could handle in the first game since fellow Lions running back David Montgomery suffered a regular-season-ending knee injury, racking up 119 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries and three catches in the first half alone. After being tackled at the 1-yard line on three consecutive runs, Gibbs finally got across the goal line on his fourth try to put the Lions up 10-0 in the first quarter. He wound up exceeding his previous season high of 24 touches by three en route to 154 scrimmage yards despite the Lions incorporating backups Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki more frequently while nursing a double-digit lead the entire second half. Gibbs is poised for another heavy workload in Week 17 against the 49ers, who have been eliminated from playoff contention.
