Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is expected to play in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: While he wasn't activated against the Raiders, Hampton, who has missed the last seven games with an ankle injury, practiced on a limited basis all last week. Local observers have pointed out that a return this week falls in line with what the Chargers have done with players returning from IR during the season in terms of giving them a ramp-up week. Luckily, RB Kimani Vidal was explosive against the Raiders in Hampton's absence with 25 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown. How robust a workload Hampton handles is unclear, but a split with Vidal seems likely. |
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) told the media on Tuesday, Dec. 2, that he is 'fine' after suffering a stinger in Week 13.
| Footballguys view: This news is encouraging, especially considering Tracy had to be helped to the sidelines and then carted to the locker room. Now the outlook isn't as bleak as it appeared. We'll continue to watch for more in the coming days, but a Week 14 bye will work in Tracy's favor. |
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson gained 40 yards on 12 carries and another 40 yards on three receptions during the club's Week 13 victory over the New York Giants.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson returned to action last week, but TreVeyon Henderson remained the starter, with Stevenson limited mostly to third-down duties. This week, as Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke noted, Stevenson was back to being the lead back in all situations. While the split isn't the best news for either play (especially Henderson), it does make both viable plays when the Patriots return from their Week 14 bye. Games against the Bills, Ravens, and Jets will offer opportunities for Stevenson and Henderson to deliver RB2 or high-end flex production. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson had 11 carries for 67 yards versus the New York Giants in Week 13. He added three catches for 19 yards.
| Footballguys view: Henderson's run as the undisputed lead back has ended. With Rhamondre Stevenson (who had more carries than Henderson Monday night) back in the mix, Henderson goes from must-start status to tail-end RB2 or flex-level status when the Patriots return from their Week 14 bye. We'll continue watching for more information here, but with games against the Bills, Ravens, and Jets on tap following the bye, the favorable matchups open the door to Henderson delivering at the higher end of his range of outcomes -- even if they're limited. |
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings (head) has been ruled out of the Week 13 game because of his head injury.
| Footballguys view: Jennings opened the Monday night game with a 39-yard kickoff return. He was also on the field for Marcus Jones' 94-yard punt return touchdown, but left shortly thereafter. Following a stint in the blue medical tent, the sophomore running back left for the locker room and did not return. With Jennings out, the Patriots rolled on with Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson at the running back position. Jennings' spot on the kickoff return team, meanwhile, went to rookie Efton Chism. |
New York Giants RB Devin Singletary carried the ball 12 times for 68 yards and a touchdown versus the New England Patriots in Week 13. He added three receptions for 34 yards.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com recounted it, Singletary made his mark when he lined up in the Wildcat formation and ripped off a 22-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter. He finished as the game's leading rusher a week after taking a backseat to teammate Tyrone Tracy, who suffered a hip injury against the Patriots. Singletary has become a viable flex option in standard scoring formats after recording double-digit carries in three straight games with three touchdowns over that span. The Giants will be on a bye next week and resume play against the Commanders in Week 15. |

New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) was removed from the game against the New England Patriots in Week 13 due to a hip injury. Prior to departing, Tracy had 10 carries for 36 yards and one reception for minus-three yards.
| Footballguys view: A hit by Anfernee Jennings on a running play for a 2-yard loss injured Tracy. He was taken off the field by two athletic trainers, unable to put weight on his left leg. He sat in the passenger seat of the cart for a ride from the sideline into the training room. The Giants listed Tracy as questionable with a hip injury, but he did not return. The Giants finished the game with Devin Singletary and Eric Gray as their running backs. |
New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings (head) left the Week 13 game early because of a head injury and is considered questionable to return.

Link to storyBaltimore Ravens RB Justice Hill (neck) will be sidelined three to four weeks because of his neck injury, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens placed Hill on injured reserve before Thursday's game, so he would be eligible to return after the next three games. Hill has been an important part of the Ravens' third-down operation. He has 21 catches on 27 targets for 169 yards and one touchdown. Hill has 18 carries and two touchdowns on the ground. With Hill out, Keaton Mitchell should have an expanded role as Derrick Henry's backup. Mitchell leads all Ravens with 5.8 yards per carry and has five catches on six targets. |

Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (calf) is considered day-to-day because of the calf injury he suffered in Week 13, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Sampson left yesterday's loss to the 49ers due to the injury and did not return. He had four carries for 23 yards with no receptions or targets before departing. Sampson's name flickered on the fantasy radar after he took a short pass to the house against the Raiders in Week 12. He was of interest in deep leagues as the backup to Quinshon Judkins, and that still may be the case if he returns quickly. We'll continue to monitor. |
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt gained 20 yards on four carries in the team's Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Link to storyWashington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols had six carries for 30 yards against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He also had two receptions for zero yards.

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran the ball 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills RB James Cook rushed 32 times for 144 yards in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while adding three receptions for a team-high 33 yards on three targets. He did fumble twice, losing one of them.
| Footballguys view: The 32 carries were a career high for Cook, and tied with Jonathan Taylor in Week 10 for most by an RB in the NFL this season. Outside of a second-quarter fumble, Cook sliced through the Pittsburgh defense with ease. He totaled 60 yards before contact, his second-most in a game this season, and added 84 yards after contact, his fourth-most of the season. He also forced six missed tackles on the ground, tied for his season high. Expect more of the same against the Bengals in Week 14. |
Denver Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin ran the ball six times for 24 yards in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. He added a six-yard reception.
Link to storyDenver Broncos RB RJ Harvey carried the ball 13 times for 35 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a Week 13 win over the Washington Commanders. Harvey also caught three passes (on four targets) for 27 yards.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus noted, the Broncos continued their three-man running back rotation from before the bye week, with Harvey as the lead back, Jaleel McLaughlin as the backup, and Tyler Badie as the receiving back. But it was Harvey getting the bulk of the workload and the premium looks. He's an appealing play heading into a Week 15 tilt with the Raiders. |
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell finished with 20 rushing yards on five carries and caught two passes for 25 yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 20 yards in a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Irving returned from a seven-game absence and played the lead role in his first game back. According to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, Irving wasn't on the field as much as he was earlier in the season, but he touched the ball on a higher percentage of his plays. The decreased playing time in his first week back makes sense. So does an increasing role over the rest of the season. The Buccaneers play the Saints in Week 14. |
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal ran 25 times for 126 yards and a 59-yard touchdown in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders, and he had an 11-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Vidal had his third game with at least 100 yards, the most for a Chargers player in a season since Melvin Gordon in 2018. With Omarion Hampton still working his way off IR, Vidal, who was released before this season but then brought back to the practice squad, ran all over the Raiders. He's proven he belongs in the NFL. But for our purposes, Hampton's looming return will put Vidal back on fantasy benches. The Chargers play the Eagles in Week 14. |
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis did not have a rushing attempt in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons, while going without a reception on just a single target.
