Abdullah caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.

The 32-year-old from Nebraska has now gone without a carry in each of the Colts' last two games. Through 12 appearances this season, Abdullah has rushed 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown while catching 14 of 15 targets for 75 yards. Additionally, he's logged 510 kick-return yards while operating as one of Indianapolis' top return men. Expect Abdullah to remain one of the team's primary kick returners in the Week 18 matchup against the Texans.

Etienne played three of the Panthers' 52 offensive snaps and tallied 91 kick-return yards during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.

Etienne hasn't received a carry since the Panthers' Week 11 win over the Falcons, playing just nine offensive snaps over the team's last five games. The Georgia product has operated as Carolina's top return man this season, recording 733 punt-return yards and 160 kick-return yards across 16 appearances. Expect the rookie running back to contribute primarily on special teams while Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard handle the Panthers' backfield duties in the Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Gordon did not log a carry or target during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Gordon has now operated in a clear depth role behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright in three consecutive games, in which span he's combined for minus-1 rushing yards on three carries. The rookie sixth-round pick played a career-high 15 snaps on special teams versus Tampa Bay, during which he also logged one assisted tackle. Gordon stands to operate as the Dolphins' third-string running back again during the team's regular-season finale on the road against New England in Week 18.

Herbert rushed twice for five yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.

Top two running backs Breece Hall (knee) and Isaiah Davis (concussion) exited in the second half, but Kene Nwangwu finished with six carries to Herbert's two. Both depth options could play expanded roles in Week 18 against the Bills if Hall and Davis are held out.

Nwangwu rushed six times for 31 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots. He also returned four kickoffs for 114 yards.

Breece Hall (knee) and Isaiah Davis (concussion) both exited in the second half, opening the door for Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert to take on larger roles. Nwangwu's contributions are usually limited to special teams, and Sunday's six carries marked a new career high for the 27-year-old running back. He could see an expanded role again in Week 18 against the Bills if Hall and Davis aren't available.

Ali had two catches for eight yards on three targets Saturday against the Packers.

Ali was shut out of the rushing rotation Saturday as Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell took all the carries among running backs. He had three targets, though, which was a respectable share considering Baltimore only threw the ball 20 times. Ali seems to have carved out a role as a pass-catching specialist out of the backfield, but he has just six carries for 24 yards on the season.

Williams had two carries for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17. He also returned one kickoff for 25 yards.

Dylan Sampson's return from an ankle injury left Williams has the third back behind Sampson and Raheim Sanders. Williams was added to Cleveland's 53-man roster a few weeks ago, while the Browns coped with injuries, and he has carved out a minor role in the backfield. The most significant of those injuries was to Quinshon Judkins (ankle/leg) last week, but with everyone else healthy, Williams isn't likely to see a much bigger workload in Week 18 against the Bengals.

Spears rushed the ball six times for two yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints. He added one reception on two targets for minus-2 yards.

Spears saw a significant uptick in usage in Week 16 and tallied 105 yards from scrimmage. However, he returned to a complementary role in Week 17, earning only seven touches compared to 20 for Tony Pollard. Spears was also shut down as both a rusher and receiver, and he's now been held below five rushing yards in four of his last seven games.

Monangai handled eight carries for 38 yards and caught three of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers.

Monangai and D'Andre Swift (9-54-2) both averaged well over 4.0 yards per carry against the 49ers' porous run defense Sunday, but the latter's pair of rushing touchdowns gave the veteran counterpart of Chicago's backfield duo the fantasy edge in Week 17. Monangai has cooled off a bit since exploding on the scene midseason, averaging 44.5 rushing yards per game with no touchdowns over his last four contests. That said, the seventh-round rookie remains a featured piece on offense for Chicago heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Lions.

Swift took nine carries for 54 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding two receptions on three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers.

Swift actually finished with fewer carries and less yardage than in his quiet fantasy outing against the Packers in Week 16, but he was able to do far more with less against the 49ers on Sunday Night Football. The 26-year-old averaged 6.0 yards per carry while scoring multiple rushing touchdowns for the second time over his last three starts. Swift and backfield mate Kyle Monangai (11 touches for 47 yards) split work evenly as they have been doing for most of the season, with the veteran outshining the rookie this time around. Fantasy managers can confidently start both of Chicago's talented backs in the regular-season finale against the Lions.
