McLaughlin rushed 14 times for 84 yards while catching one of two targets for no gain in Monday's 41-32 win over Cleveland.

McLaughlin received 10 more carries than any teammate in Monday's primetime matchup. This comes on the heels of the second-year pro leading Denver in rushing yards a week prior. Audric Estime remained in the mix with three carries for 12 yards, but Javonte Williams had the worst rushing day of the trio despite punching in a short touchdown. McLaughlin handled the increased workload in stride, making him a potential hot pickup coming out of the Broncos' upcoming bye week.

Chubb rushed nine times for 21 yards and secured both targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.

Chubb and Jerome Ford both logged the same number of carries, but the latter recorded 20 more rushing yards. However, Chubb was the only one of the two that got into the end zone, as he recorded a five-yard scoring grab with just under nine minutes remaining to erase a 31-25 deficit. The touchdown was Chubb's first through the air since Week 18 of the 2022 season and fourth overall since making his Week 7 season debut. Chubb will look to hit paydirt again Week 14 versus a Steelers squad that he tallied a pair of rush TDs against Week 12.

Williams had zero carries and hauled in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 21-14 defeat to the Rams.

Williams reprised his role as the Saints' RB2 after missing the previous three games with a groin issue. But, that still didn't mean he would factor into their gameplan, as Alvin Kamara once again carried the load out of the backfield while playing 86 percent of offensive snaps. Do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill also featured into his usual role in the rushing game before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in the fourth quarter. With no other player capable of filling Hill's unique role in the offense, New Orleans will likely have to make up for his absence by leaning on its other tight ends and rushers. This could lead to more opportunities as a short-yardage power back for the 224-pound Williams. It will be worth monitoring how he is deployed behind Kamara during this coming Sunday's road game against the Giants.

Shipley rushed once for four yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens.

The Eagles got Shipley involved on the third play of the game, giving him the ball on a swing pass. That was the first time he'd seen the field for an offensive snap since Week 10 and his only involvement from scrimmage, as he was limited to special teams the rest of the way.

Gainwell finished Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens with zero rushes and zero receptions.

Gainwell's role has been small all season while stuck behind Saquon Barkley, but this was the first time since Week 15 of his rookie season (2021) that Gainwell went an entire game without touching the ball on offense. While Gainwell only saw the field for seven offensive snaps on Sunday, the fact third-string running back Will Shipley logged a sole play from scrimmage himself seems to corroborate there's no indication of a depth-chart shakeup.

Tucker returned two kickoffs for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.

With Bucky Irving (hip) logging a career-high 25 carries and Rachaad White tacking on another 11, there was no room for Tucker in the ground game for only the second time since Week 5. In fact, Tucker didn't log any snaps on offense, with all 15 of his plays coming on special teams. Considering Irving has proven amply capable of handling a true workhorse role with efficacy and the fact White is always in line for his share of carries, Tucker doesn't have any tangible fantasy prospects heading into a Week 14 home matchup against the Raiders.

The Chargers signed Kelly to their practice squad Monday.

Kelly played in two games with Baltimore to begin the season, logging snaps only on special teams. He hasn't had an NFL snap since he rushed twice for 13 yards in 2021 with Cleveland. Kelly will serve as organizational depth at running back for Los Angeles with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on injured reserve, but the former may need one of Gus Edwards, Kimani Vidal or Hassan Haskins to miss time in order to be elevated for game day.

Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup against the Broncos.

Foreman has now been a healthy scratch in each of the Browns' last four games, with his most recent appearance coming in a Week 8 win over the Ravens. Without Foreman on Monday night, Cleveland's running back room will consist of Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong.

Jacobs was a limited participant at Monday's practice due to a calf injury.

Jacobs has strung together five consecutive games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage, a stretch in which he's accumulated 112 touches for 590 total yards and seven rushing touchdowns. As the Packers gear up for Thursday's contest at Detroit, he's tending to a health concern, so his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on.

Charbonnet rushed four times for 28 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.

Charbonnet scored the Seahawks' game-winning touchdown with an eight-yard rush in the fourth quarter, his second touch within the 10-yard line Sunday. The 2023 second-round pick has yet to post more than 30 rushing yards in a game since Week 3 when Kenneth Walker was inactive, so Charbonnet's floor is highly concerning as long as Walker is upright.
