Sampson (hand/calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Sampson will unsurprisingly miss a second consecutive game after being unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. The rookie fourth-round pick's next chance to play will come in Week 17 against the Steelers, while Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders will fill depth roles behind rookie second-round pick Quinshon Judkins against the Bills.

Marks (ankle) is working off to the side with a trainer at Friday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wilson expects Marks to be listed as a limited participant, which would still be a step in the right direction after Marks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. Marks injured his ankle during this past Sunday's win over the Cardinals, and while Houston's coaching staff claimed that Marks could have reentered against Arizona, the ankle injury has put his availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders in jeopardy. Nick Chubb and Jawhar Jordan could play larger roles if Marks is sidelined or limited Sunday.

Demercado should have a role off the bench behind starter Michael Carter in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Demercado seemed to be ahead of Carter on the depth chart for most of the season, but Carter has arguably fared better when tasked with a lead role, while Demercado's success as a bench player hasn't typically translated across larger workloads. Demercado's recent return from a high-ankle sprain may also be a factor, with this being his second game back from a three-game absence. He took just three touches for one yard in last week's 40-20 loss to the Texans, so it didn't come as any surprise Friday when Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon named Carter as the Week 16 starter.

Sampson (hand/calf) isn't practicing Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Sampson hasn't practiced all week, so he's likely to be ruled out for a second consecutive game when the Browns release their injury report later Friday. Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders will likely work as the depth options behind Quinshon Judkins against the Bills on Sunday.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Friday that Carter will start Sunday's game against the Falcons, Theo Mackie of AZCentral reports.

Carter handled 18 touches and churned out a season-high 94 scrimmage yards after Bam Knight injured his ankle in the Week 15 loss to Houston. Knight was subsequently placed on IR, clearing the path for Carter to take on the starting role Sunday and likely for the remainder of the season, with Emari Demercado and Corey Kiner on hand for depth.

Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that he plans to get McLaughlin more touches moving forward, Jon Heath of USA Today Broncos Wire reports.

RJ Harvey is in line to play through a rib injury Sunday against the Jaguars, but the Broncos will be mindful of the rookie lead back's workload down the stretch to help ensure Harvey's healthy for the playoffs. If Harvey comes off the field more on early downs, that could lead to more opportunities for McLaughlin. While McLaughlin's a capable pass catcher, Tyler Badie seems to be the team's preferred backfield option in passing situations. McLaughlin has yet to exceed seven touches in a game this season, and an increased workload may not lead to much success Sunday against Jacksonville's stout run defense.

Charbonnet rushed nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 22 yards in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night. He was also credited with a two-point conversion run.

Charbonnet was two carries behind Kenneth Walker, and although the latter outgained him by 68 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards, the former was able to join his backfield mate in scoring a rushing touchdown. Charbonnet recorded a four-yard TD run in the first quarter to open the scoring, and he alertly picked up a ball in the end zone on a fourth-quarter two-point conversion attempt after it had initially been batted by Jared Verse and subsequently ruled a backward pass. Charbonnet continues to operate in a reliable complementary role alongside Walker and now has nine rushing touchdowns on the season, affording him some standalone fantasy value in deeper formats for a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Corum rushed 14 times for 48 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 13 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Corum still logged nine fewer carries than backfield mate Kyren Williams, but he was the only one of the two to get into the end zone. Corum scored his sixth touchdown of the season on a one-yard run in the third quarter directly following an interception of Sam Darnold, and the second-year back logged a career-high carry total. Corum has now recorded double-digit rush attempts in three straight games and has scored five times over the last four contests, giving him plenty of standalone value going into a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29.

Williams rushed 23 times for 70 yards and brought in three of six targets for 15 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Williams put in a workmanlike performance that saw him hit the 70-yard threshold on the ground for the fourth straight game and seventh in the last eight contests overall. However, Williams also saw backfield mate Blake Corum draw a red-zone rushing opportunity at the one-yard line in the third quarter that he converted into a touchdown. Williams saw a three-game scoring streak snapped Thursday, but he remains the clear lead back going into a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29.

Walker rushed 11 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 64 yards in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.

Walker delivered quite the spark early in the second half, rattling off a season-high 55-yard touchdown run off right guard to erase what had been a 13-7 deficit. The performance marked Walker's second 100-yard effort of the season, and he also delivered a season-long 46-yard catch on his way to a season-high receiving yardage total. Walker outpaced backfield mate Zach Charbonnet by two carries and 68 rushing yards Thursday, but the two players are likely to remain in their usual narrow timeshare in a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28
