  • Deneric Prince: Back to practice squad

    Prince reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.

    Prince played 10 snaps on special teams, failing to record a stat in the team's 27-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday. If Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) is unavailable in Week 16, Prince could be elevated again ahead of Kansas City's matchup with the Raiders on Christmas Day.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Moves back to practice squad

    Goodson reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Goodson has been elevated for each of Indianapolis' last three games, but he was able to mix into the offense more than expected Saturday against the Steelers after Zack Moss departed early due to a shoulder injury. With Jonathan Taylor (thumb) sitting out again, Goodson and Trey Sermon manned the backfield from the middle of the second quarter onward. Goodson played second fiddle to Sermon, seeing 19 snaps to the latter's 29, but both RBs got double-digit touches, with Goodson going for 79 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches and Sermon turning 17 carries into 88 yards. There's a chance Taylor will be able to return Sunday in Atlanta, and Moss also hopes to be available for that contest, so Goodson's prospects for Week 16 output likely are contingent on him being signed to the active roster.

  • Bills' Latavius Murray: Scores notable touchdown

    Murray rushed five times for 11 yards and a score and was not targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

    Murray ran for his fourth touchdown of the season, giving him nine straight campaigns of four-plus TD runs, something no other active player in the league can say. The 33-year-old has proven he can still bring value to a contending team, but starter James Cook has begun to look like a superstar the past few weeks, and Murray is locked into a clear No. 2 role. However, Murray may be a better goal-line back from inside the five, so that might keep him relevant in very deep leagues.

  • Kenyan Drake RB | GB

    Kenyan Drake: Back to practice squad

    Drake reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

    Drake played five offensive snaps in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers, rushing for no gain on his only carry. With AJ Dillon (thumb) potentially unavailable again in Week 16 versus the Panthers, Drake could be asked to return to the active roster.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Malik Davis: Back to practice squad

    Davis reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday.

    Davis has appeared in two games for the Cowboys this season but has played zero offensive snaps. He's seen 31 on special teams.

  • Kevin Harris RB | JAC

    Patriots' Kevin Harris: Back to practice squad

    Harris reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.

    With Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) out again this past week, Harris saw action on seven offensive snaps behind Ezekiel Elliott and rushed four times for 25 yards and one touchdown in mop-up duty versus Kansas City.

  • Rashaad Penny RB | CAR

    Eagles' Rashaad Penny: Inactive once again

    Penny (coach's decision) is inactive for Philadelphia's matchup with the Seahawks on Monday.

    Penny will be a healthy scratch for the fifth straight week and and for the 12th time overall on the season. In his only two appearances, the 2018 first-round pick has carried the ball five times for 17 yards and failed to haul in his only target.

  • Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Score salvages poor production

    Patterson rushed five times for minus-2 yards and caught one of three targets for two yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 9-7 loss to Carolina.

    Patterson touched the ball seven times and totaled zero yards, which is abysmal efficiency, but he salvaged his fantasy line by scoring the game's only touchdown. Since Atlanta's Week 11 bye, Patterson has rushed 21 times for 59 yards and caught two of five targets for eight yards over the team's past four appearances. As long as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are available, Patterson's fantasy value is limited, and he'll likely have to find the end zone to sniff relevancy in standard leagues.

  • Ke'Shawn Vaughn: To join Pats' practice squad

    The Patriots are expected to sign Vaughn to their practice squad, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    With Rhamondre Stevenson dealing with a nagging ankle injury and Ezekiel Elliott struggling on a per-touch basis, New England is interested in adding some depth at running back. In six games with Tampa Bay this season, Vaughn took 24 carries for 42 yards, adding two catches for two yards on five targets.

  • Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Two touches Week 15

    Johnson carried twice for five yards and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 23-7 loss against the Ravens.

    The 27-year-old played 18 of 62 offensive snaps, but starter Travis Etienne was the only Jacksonville tailback to receive more than two touches. Johnson should continue to have a limited workload down the stretch as Etienne's top backup.
