Guerendo took four carries for 19 yards and a touchdown while losing three yards on his only reception in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.

Guerendo got some extra run in the second half after starter Christian McCaffrey (knee) left the game due to injury at halftime. Jordan Mason (13-78-0) took over as the primary rusher from there on out, but Guerendo benefited from scoring the 49ers' only offensive touchdown in the blowout loss. Mason is the name to grab on waivers this week, but he showed some durability issues handling the starter's role earlier this season in addition to being evaluated for a concussion against Buffalo. Guerendo is more of a stash option for next Sunday's tilt against the Bears, but he carries some appeal for those in deeper leagues with CMC likely done for the year.

Corum rushed eight times for 42 yards during Sunday's 21-14 victory against the Saints.

It was a day of career highs for Corum, as he was on the field for nearly a third (18 of 56) of the Rams' snaps on offense. Kyren Williams, who had been struggling with fumbles in recent weeks, responded with an excellent 15-104-1 rushing line on the day, with the yardage representing a season high. While Corum's role did increase, Williams still handled the bulk of the workload, capping the rookie's upside heading into a Week 14 showdown against the Bills.

Bigsby carried seven times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.

The 23-year-old returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and played 46 percent of the offensive snaps. Bigsby appeared on track to take over the starting job earlier this season after a five-game stretch in which he tallied 447 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns, but Travis Etienne now has a bit more upside because he sees more passing-down work in this backfield committee.

Spears rushed the ball one time for three yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders. He was not targeted.

Spears returned from a one-game absence caused by a concussion but was on the field for only 13 offensive snaps. Titans running backs combined to record only nine rushing attempts, but his usage still was concerning due to his lack of work as a receiver. Though Tennessee has stated it wants to lessen Tony Pollard's workload, he handily accounted for 12 touches compared to one for Spears.

Patterson rushed three times for 16 yards while securing all three of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.

Although Patterson was on the field for just 10 offensive snaps in Week 13, he saw a considerable amount of work in the high-scoring victory. The 33-year-old had racked up just 12 yards from scrimmage over the last three games, so it was encouraging to see him turn things around against Cincinnati. Despite Patterson's success against the Bengals, Patterson is unlikely to see a significant uptick in playing time as long as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren remain healthy.

Etienne rushed 13 times for 46 yards and secured all three targets for 12 yards in the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Etienne logged six more carries than backfield mate Tank Bigsby but couldn't muster any remarkable production against a typically stingy Texans run defense. The fourth-year back also was a modest contributor through the air while posting his second straight three-catch tally, but the outlook for all of the Jaguars' skill-position players will take at least a slight hit in a Week 14 road matchup against the Titans with Mac Jones likely filling in for Trevor Lawrence (concussion) in that contest.

Goodson didn't log a carry or target during the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday but returned two kickoffs for 49 yards.

Goodson remains No. 3 on the team's running back depth chart, which, in a backfield dominated by Jonathan Taylor, leaves the former with extremely sparse opportunities most weeks. The Iowa product hasn't had a carry since Week 7 or a target since Week 10. Although he should continue to see work in the return game, an injury to Taylor is likely his only path to touches on offense.

Sermon saw five snaps on offense during the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday, but he didn't receive a carry or target.

Sermon continues to see little opportunity in a backfield dominated by Jonathan Taylor. The Ohio State product hasn't had a carry since Week 9, or a target in either of the team's last two contests. However, he was involved in the return game and had a 23-yard kick return Sunday. Indianapolis has a Week 14 bye, but Sermon will be back on the field in Week 15 against Denver and likely continue seeing limited opportunities unless Taylor suffers an injury.

Elliott gained four yards on his lone carry in a 27-20 win over the Giants on Thanksgiving.

The veteran back saw only nine snaps, his lowest workload of the season, and over the last three games Elliott has managed only 34 scrimmage yards on eight total touches. With Rico Dowdle cementing himself at the top of the backfield depth chart, there isn't much of a path for Elliott to have significant fantasy value.

Nwangwu returned three kickoffs for 157 yards, including a 99-yard touchdown, in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Nwangwu made an instant impact in his Jets debut after being elevated from the practice squad. His 99-yard kickoff-return touchdown gave the Jets a 21-7 lead in the second quarter, but Seattle scored 19 unanswered points from there to drop the Jets to 3-9. Given Nwangwu's success in this game, he'll likely be elevated from the practice squad to return kickoffs again in Week 14 against the Dolphins.
