  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Productive again with high volume

    White rushed 25 times for 102 yards and secured both targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

    White put together another strong fantasy day with a hefty workload, hitting the 100-yard mark for the second time in the last three games. The second-year back also did damage as a pass catcher once again, taking one of his two catches for a weaving 31-yard touchdown in the latter portion of the third quarter. White continues to be far and away the leader of the Buccaneers backfield, logging 20 or more carries in four of the last six contests while recording a touchdown through either the run or the air in three of the last four games as well. He'll look to exploit an inconsistent Packers run defense on the road in Week 15.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Continues to excel as pass catcher

    Hall (ankle) rushed 10 times for 40 yards while catching eight of nine targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.

    Hall hasn't scored on the ground since Week 6, but he has three receiving touchdowns during that drought, including his three-yard score in the fourth quarter against Houston. He set season highs in catches and receiving yards Sunday, and Hall has caught at least five passes in six of the last eight games. Hall's robust contributions as a receiver continue to make up for his lack of rushing production, as this was his seventh consecutive game with no more than 50 rushing yards. The ankle injury that limited Hall's practice reps heading into the game didn't seem to impact his performance, so he should continue to see a steady diet of both carries and targets in Week 15 against the Dolphins.

  • Chargers' Isaiah Spiller: Active versus Broncos

    Spiller is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Spiller has been a regular healthy scratch of late, but he'll be in uniform and has a chance to see some touches versus Denver, as the Chargers look for a potential spark in their ground game. Though Austin Ekeler remains in line to start, Joshua Kelley and Spiller are also expected to see work in the team's Week 14 backfield, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggesting that Los Angeles may employ a 'hot hand' approach with its running backs Sunday.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Broncos' Samaje Perine: Active as expected Week 14

    Perine (knee) is

    The veteran complementary back was reported to be in line to suit up Sunday, and his availability is now confirmed. Perine will therefore be available to handle his usual solid No. 2 role alongside top back Javonte Williams against a Chargers defense that's allowed 149 rushing yards per contest in the last three games, along with the second-most receptions (75) to running backs on the season.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    49ers' Jordan Mason: Should serve as No. 2 back

    Mason is in line to serve as the No. 2 running back for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Seahawks with Elijah Mitchell (knee) ruled inactive for the contest.

    Mason has logged just two carries since Week 6, but he'll be in line to handle any complementary work available behind Christian McCaffrey versus Seattle. Mason has been efficient with his limited opportunities in his second season, averaging 5.5 yards per carry on his 23 totes while also recording a pair of rushing touchdowns and adding a 13-yard reception.

  • 49ers' Elijah Mitchell: Officially inactive Sunday

    Mitchell (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 clash with Seattle.

    Mitchell's inactive status doesn't come as a surprise, as he didn't practice at all during Week 14 prep and entered the weekend listed as doubtful. The third-year running back has now missed four games this season, though the first three all came within the first five weeks of the campaign. With Mitchell out, Jordan Mason will ascend to the role of San Francisco's No. 2 back behind Christian McCaffrey.

  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Active in Week 14

    Charbonnet (knee) is listed as active Sunday in San Francisco.

    Charbonnet suffered a bruised knee in the Seahawks' last game on Nov. 30, and he proceeded to follow a DNP/LP/FP practice routine during Week 14 prep. Fellow running back Kenneth Walker managed the same regimen as Charbonnet, and while both players were questionable for Sunday's contest, Walker will rejoin Charbonnet in the backfield for the first time since Week 11. Considering Walker handled 123 touches versus Charbonnet's 51 in the eight games (Weeks 1-4, 6 and 8-10) in which both were healthy this season, a similar breakdown of reps between the pair likely can be expected Sunday.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Back in action Sunday

    Walker (oblique) is active for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

    After missing the past two contests due to a strained oblique, Walker is back in action for the first time since Week 11. Both he and fellow running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) followed the same practice regimen this week, going DNP on Wednesday, limited Thursday and then full Friday. In the eight outings (Weeks 1-4, 6 and 8-10) in which both have been healthy this season, Walker racked up 123 touches for 500 yards from scrimmage and seven TDs versus Charbonnet's respective 51-284-0 line. A similar breakdown likely can be expected between the two Sunday.

  • Breece Hall RB | NYJ

    Jets' Breece Hall: Good to go Sunday

    Hall (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Though he carried a questionable designation into the weekend for the second game in a row, Hall will ultimately get the green light to play through the ankle injury. He may be less healthy this week than he had been in Week 13, however; after practicing in limited fashion twice and once as a full participant last week while managing a hamstring injury, Hall turned in just one limited practice in Week 14. In any case, Hall is expected to return to his familiar role as the Jets' lead back, and he'll be joined in the backfield by quarterback Zach Wilson, who is reclaiming starting duties after New York waived Tim Boyle on Tuesday. The poor play at quarterback and along the offensive line appears to be hindering Hall in the running game of late, as he's averaging just 2.2 yards per carry on 71 totes over his last six games. Hall has been able to keep his fantasy value afloat to some degree by catching 31 passes for 236 yards and two scores over that six-game stretch.

  • Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Available Sunday

    Johnson (knee) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Johnson is nursing a knee issue that held him to limited participation in practices throughout the week, but it now seems as if he'll be able play through the pain Sunday. Expect the 27-year-old running back to handle his usual duties as Travis Etienne's (ribs) backup in Week 14.
