Gibson, who logged 30 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, carried six times for 31 yards and caught one of his two targets for 14 yards in the contest.

Meanwhile, starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson was on the field for 29 snaps Sunday, while carrying eight times for 13 yards and not catching either of his two targets. While we don't expect Gibson to overtake Stevenson in the Patriots' backfield pecking order any time soon, Gibson's workload this coming weekend against the Colts will be worth monitoring to see if the uptick in his RB snap share extends beyond Week 12, when Stevenson struggled to get going in a game in which Miami led by a 31-0 score by the end of the third quarter.

Sermon saw just two snaps on offense and five on special teams in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

Sermon rarely saw the field as Jonathan Taylor played 96 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, leaving little to no opportunities for the rest of the team's backfield. It was the first time since Week 1 that Sermon didn't get at least a target or carry.

Goodson returned a kickoff for 25 yards while playing all 14 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

In a game in which Indianapolis logged just 49 offensive snaps, the Colts didn't need to turn to Goodson to spell Jonathan Taylor or Trey Sermon, who remain ahead of him on the depth chart at running back. Barring either Taylor or Sermon missing time to injury, Goodson -- who has logged no carries and four targets over the Colts' last five contests -- doesn't look as though he'll have a role on offense in the final six weeks of the season.

Goodson played 14 snaps on special teams and had 25 return yards and a tackle in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

Goodson didn't see the field on offense for the first time this season, but he did have an impact on special teams. He'll likely need an injury in the backfield to see any noticeable work on offense.

Laube did not see the field on offense in the Raiders' 29-19 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, but he did return a kickoff for 59 yards.

Laube's complete lack of involvement on offense came as a bit of a surprise with both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) sidelined, but Sincere McCormick worked as Ameer Abdullah's backup instead. Playing time figures to remain sparse for Laube against Kansas City in Week 13, especially if Mattison or White are ready to return.

Ogunbowale did not have a carry and went untargeted over 13 snaps in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12.

Ogunbowale was the lone running back not named Joe Mixon to see time on offense, as Dameon Pierce worked on special teams only. That doesn't suggest Ogunbowale is the top backup to Mixon however, as Pierce would likely be the lead back in case Mixon were injured or unavailable.

Pierce returned three kickoffs for 135 yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12. He did not play a snap on offense.

Pierce returned the game's opening kickoff 80 yards to the Titans' 19-yard line, setting up Houston's first score just 18 seconds into the game. He also had a 48-yard return that was negated due to a holding penalty. It was interesting that Pierce did not get on the field with the offense, a unit that produced just 40 rushing yards and a 2.4 YPC. Dare Ogunbowale got the 13 snaps when Joe Mixon was not on the field; however, fantasy managers should not infer that Ogunbowale would be the starter if Mixon were injured.

Chestnut rushed the ball once for three yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans. He added one reception on one target for two yards.

Chestnut was pushed into the backup running back role with Tyjae Spears (concussion) sidelined. However, he managed only two total touches and isn't likely to be a factor for fantasy purposes even if Spears remains sidelined for a Week 13 matchup against the Commanders.

Williams rushed 12 times for 72 yards and a touchdown with two fumbles (one lost) and no targets as a receiver in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

Williams was outclassed by opposing running back Saquon Barkley (302 total yards and two scores), but the former still provided a decent fantasy score for managers Sunday. The Rams' starter commanded 16 of 17 backfield rushing attempts in the loss, tightening his grip on an every-down role as we inch towards the end of the regular season. Williams put two balls on the ground but lost possession of only one, resulting in his third lost fumble on the year. Expect the 23-year-old to see his usual minimum of 15-to-20 carries when the Rams visit the Saints next Sunday.

Singletary rushed twice for three yards and a touchdown while bringing in both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-7 Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay.

The entire Giants offense struggled Sunday in its first game this season under the guidance of quarterback Tommy DeVito, and game script led to just 20 total New York rushing attempts in the contest. Rookie Tyrone Tracy continued to receive the bulk of the backfield work with nine carries for an efficient 42 yards, but it was Singletary who recorded the team's only score on a one-yard plunge into the end zone early in the fourth quarter. That opportunity came with Tracy briefly benched due to losing his second fumble in as many games early in the third period, but he later returned to the field and finished out the contest, so Singletary will likely work in a backup role again Thursday when the Giants face Dallas in a Thanksgiving matchup between teams with a combined 6-16 record.
