Braelon Allen RB | NYJ
Jets' Braelon Allen: Three touches in loss to Rams
Allen (back) rushed twice for five yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.
Allen matched Isaiah Davis' total of three touches while Breece Hall led the Jets backfield with 19 touches. While Allen will likely be healthy enough to suit up in Week 17 against the Bills, his fantasy upside is minimal as he splits backup duties.

Isaiah Davis RB | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Davis: Three carries in Week 16
Davis rushed three times for 12 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.
Breece Hall worked as the clear lead back with 19 touches, while Davis and Braelon Allen got just three apiece. With Hall healthy ahead of a Week 17 trip to Buffalo, Davis doesn't project to get much work.

Jeff Wilson RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jeff Wilson: Involved in win over former team
Wilson rushed twice for 12 yards during Sunday's 29-17 win over San Francisco.
Wilson worked over Jaylen Wright as the No. 3 back behind starter De'Von Achane and backup Raheem Mostert during Sunday's win over the 49ers, after having been inactive for seven straight games from Week 5 to Week 12. It's unclear whether Wilson has officially surpassed Wright on the depth chart, or if the Dolphins simply opted to involve him more in the game plan due to the Week 16 matchup. Wilson's next chance to compete for depth snaps will come Week 17 versus Cleveland on the road.

Jaylen Wright RB | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Works as No. 4 option Week 16
Wright did not record a carry or target during Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.
Wright appears to have fallen to fourth on Miami's backfield depth chart, as veteran Jeff Wilson worked in behind starter De'Von Achane and backup Raheem Mostert. The rookie fourth-round pick has rushed just three times for 10 yards while securing two of three targets for six yards across his past four appearances. He'll compete for more depth opportunities on the road against Cleveland in Week 17.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Has huge run called back
Corum rushed five times for 14 yards during Sunday's 19-9 victory against the Jets.
The rookie running back ripped off a 32-yard run in the second quarter, only to see it negated by a penalty on TE Hunter Long. Corum was left with his typical numbers otherwise, seeing just nine snaps on offense while Kyren Williams set a season high with 122 yards rushing on 23 attempts, including his 15th touchdown on the year. With the Rams looking to clinch a playoff spot next week, expect Corum's role to continue to remain limited in a Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB | NYG
Giants' Tyrone Tracy: Aggravates ankle injury
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Tracy aggravated an ankle injury during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
Tracy gained 26 yards on only seven carries versus Atlanta on Sunday, but he salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective by securing all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. He entered the contest with a questionable designation due to an ankle issue and evidently aggravated the injury during the blowout loss. If Tracy winds up sitting out a Week 17 contest against the Colts for a Giants squad that is playing for nothing but pride and draft position, Devin Singletary would step back into the starting role in the backfield.

Raheem Mostert RB | LV
Dolphins' Raheem Mostert: Double-digit touches in Week 16 win
Mostert carried the ball eight times for 31 yards and caught both his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 39-17 win over the 49ers.
De'Von Achane (190 scrimmage yards and one touchdown on 24 touches) remains the clear lead option out of the backfield for Miami, but Mostert has reclaimed his grip on the No. 2 role since returning from a one-game absence due to a hip injury. He'll again help complement Achane on the road against Cleveland in Week 17.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Giants' Devin Singletary: Gets just four carries in Week 16
Singletary rushed four times for 12 yards and didn't collect a target in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Atlanta.
The Giants went with a pass-heavy approach in the contest, especially after falling behind in the second quarter, and had only 13 rushing attempts as a team while Drew Lock threw 39 passes. As a result, Tyrone Tracy's modest seven carries paced the squad, and Singletary finished with fewer than five totes for the third time in five games. Given the sorry state of New York's offense and Tracy's emergence as the lead back, Singletary's fantasy relevance rests almost entirely on his chances of getting into the end zone, which he has done twice in that five-game span.

D'Onta Foreman RB | CLE
Browns' D'Onta Foreman: Costly fumble in loss
Foreman had two carries for one yard and lost a fumble in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals.
Foreman was active for the first time since Week 8, but his day ended quickly. After lead back Jerome Ford's 66-yard run on his first touch set up the Browns in the red zone, Foreman entered the game. He had two carries inside the five-yard line and lost a fumble on the second one. His presence in the game ended after those two snaps, and Pierre Strong was used as Ford's backup from then on. Foreman has a one-year deal and is unlikely to be part of the Browns' roster reconstruction in 2025.

Pierre Strong Jr. RB | GB
Browns' Pierre Strong: Increased activity in Week 16
Strong had two carries for six yards and caught both of his targets for three yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to Cincinnati.
This was the first game after a foot injury forced Nick Chubb to injured reserve. Jerome Ford capably handled the lead-back role, while Strong and D'Onta Foreman worked as depth options. Foreman, who hadn't played since Week 8, entered on Cleveland's first drive, had two red-zone carries, and lost a fumble at the goal line. That was the end of his day, as Strong operated as the top backup the rest of the way. Strong's two carries were his first since Week 11, and his 13 snaps his biggest workload since Week 8.
