Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Injures knee on SNF
McCaffrey (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills.
McCaffrey felt something in his leg and slid down immediately after receiving a toss in the second quarter, then got up limping and promptly went to the medical tent. The star running back went to the locker room soon thereafter, per Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. McCaffrey had been off to a strong start in snowy Buffalo prior to the injury, rushing seven times for 53 yards and catching two of three targets for 14 yards. Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo will comprise San Francisco's backfield in McCaffrey's absence.

Derrick Henry RB | BAL
Ravens' Derrick Henry: Churns out 111 yards on 22 touches
Henry rushed 19 times for 82 yards and brought in all three of his targets for 29 receiving yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.
Henry didn't post a monstrous stat line like we have become accustomed to over the course of his storied career, but he still produced 111 yards from scrimmage without turning the ball over. The simple fact that this performance checked out as one of Henry's lowest fantasy scores of the season paints a picture of how dominant King Henry has been since aligning with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore this season. With the added rest from Baltimore's upcoming bye, Henry should be locked in for a strong finish to the campaign when the Ravens resume play against the Giants on Dec. 15.

Chase Brown RB | CIN
Bengals' Chase Brown: Solid game on limited touches
Brown rushed the ball 12 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for 30 yards.
Brown looked to be in for a huge game as he accounted for 54 rushing yards and a score on the Bengals' second offensive possession. However, Cincinnati found itself chasing the lead for much of the second half, which led to Brown getting only four carries in the final two quarters. Nevertheless, he remains the clear lead back and has now found the end zone or topped 100 yards from scrimmage in five consecutive matchups.

Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Best yardage in 2024
Williams took 15 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over New Orleans.
Williams surpassed his previous best of 102 rushing yards against Green Bay in Week 5 in addition to scoring his 10th rushing touchdown of the season. The 2022 fifth-round gem accomplished these feats on just 15 carries, also setting a new high-water mark for yards per carry (6.9). Williams should continue to thrive as the Rams' lead tailback as the team prepares to host Buffalo next Sunday.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Cracks century mark on 23 attempts
Kamara rushed for 112 yards on 23 carries while catching four of six targets for seven receiving yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.
Kamara churned out his third 100-plus yard rushing effort of the season on a healthy mark of 4.9 yards per carry. Conversely, the versatile back was held in check on all four of his receptions, leading to his worst performance as a receiver through 12 games. The 28-year-old's scoreless streak also reached six games, which has somewhat dampened the fantasy stud's value as the season chugs along. All that said, Kamara continues to provide strong fantasy numbers for a team that continues to drop in the standings. The same can be expected in a road tilt against the Giants next Sunday.

Najee Harris RB | LAC
Steelers' Najee Harris: Totals 129 yards from scrimmage
Harris rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals. He added six receptions on six targets for 54 yards.
Harris was effective as both a rusher and receiver, and his day began with the latter as he accounted for 45 receiving yards on Pittsburgh's first two offensive possessions. He then got things going on the ground, highlighted by a 10-yard trip to the end zone midway through the second quarter and a long 20-yard gain late in the third quarter to help set up a score. Harris had struggled with efficiency heading into Sunday's game and topped 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 8.

Justice Hill RB | BAL
Ravens' Justice Hill: Seven touches in loss to Philly
Hill rushed three times for six yards and caught four of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.
Hill saw his customary level of usage while working in a change-of-pace role behind Derrick Henry. Hill's volume has been remarkably consistent heading into Baltimore's Week 14 bye. He has totaled between six and eight touches nine times this season while falling short of six three times and exceeding eight just once, when Hill had four carries and six catches against the Bills back in Week 4.

Saquon Barkley RB | PHI
Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Rumbles for 107 yards, TD in win
Barkley rushed 23 times for 107 yards and a touchdown while catching two of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens.
Barkley was in the midst of a mediocre performance by his lofty standards with just 65 rushing yards until he broke free for a 25-yard rushing touchdown with 7:56 remaining. That was his fifth rushing touchdown in the past three games and 11th of the season. Barkley also reached 100 rushing yards for the eighth time in 12 games for Philadelphia. The red-hot running back is showing no signs of slowing down ahead of a juicy Week 14 matchup against the leaky Panthers run defense.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Re-enters Sunday's game
Irving (hip) returned to Sunday's contest in Carolina, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Irving was seen limping to the locker room for halftime and missed roughly the first five minutes of the third quarter, but he'll now have a chance to build upon the 10 touches for 50 yards from scrimmage that he managed in the first half. Aside from Irving, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker also are available to the Buccaneers backfield in Week 13.

Bucky Irving RB | TB
Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Hurts hip Sunday
Irving sustained a hip injury during Sunday's game in Carolina.
Per Greg Auman of Fox Sports, Irving was sporting a visible limp as the Buccaneers made their way to the locker room for halftime. Irving's stat line for the first half included nine carries for 32 yards and one catch (on one target) for 18 yards. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are the other healthy running backs on the active roster.
