Josh Jacobs Injury Update
Jacobs (calf) was added to the injury report on Friday. Listed as a limited participant, Jacobs' status for Sunday versus the Seahawks is up in the air considering how late in the week he sustained the injury. If he can't play, the Raiders' backfield would feature some blend of Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, and Zamir White.
Aaron Jones Injury Update
Jones (shin, glute) was one of many Packers listed on the injury report after being limited in practice this week. Despite failing to practice in full, he has been cleared to play in Week 12. Start him with confidence as a solid RB1 option versus Philadelphia.
Joe Mixon Injury Update
Mixon (concussion) missed all three practices this week after failing to clear concussion protocol. As a result, he has been ruled out for Week 12. Samaje Perine should operate as the Bengals' lead back, though Chris Evans and Trayveon Williams also figured to get involved.
Alvin Kamara Injury Update
Kamara (illness) was absent on Thursday, but he practiced in full on Friday and has been removed from the Saints' injury report. As a result, he will be active against the 49ers on Sunday, ranking as a mid-to-high RB2 in fantasy football.
Leonard Fournette Injury Update
Fournette (hip) is listed as doubtful for Week 12 against the Browns. Barring an unforeseen development, he'll sit out Sunday's contest, giving Rachaad White an opportunity to be the team's lead back. The rookie immediately ranks as a solid RB2 versus a woeful Cleveland run defense.
Latavius Murray Injury Update
Murray (wrist) was able to log a full practice on Friday. As a result, he has been removed from the injury report and will suit up in Week 12. This week's game kicks off the post-Melvin Gordon era in Denver, vaulting Murray into the high-end RB3 tier versus Carolina.
Gus Edwards Injury Update
Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 12, but the feeling throughout the locker room is that he'll play. Head coach John Harbaugh said he's "optimistic" about the running back's status, the media believes he is trending in the right direction, and even Edwards himself boasted about how good he is feeling. Assuming the 27-year-old does suit up, he'll rank as an RB3 in fantasy football.
Raheem Mostert Injury Update
Mostert (knee) is officially doubtful for Week 12 against the Texans. This news bodes incredibly well for Jeff Wilson Jr., the midseason acquisition who'll look to pick up where he left off prior to Miami's bye. Not only has Wilson asserted himself as a must-start in fantasy football, but he's heading into a matchup against a run defense that has given up the most total points and red-zone points to running backs.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Injury Update
The Chiefs placed Edwards-Helaire (ankle) on IR this week. The move was widely expected after he sustained a high-ankle sprain last Sunday. Going forward, Kansas City will deploy rookie Isiah Pacheco as its lead back while using Jerick McKinnon in a pass-catching role out of the backfield.
Jaylen Warren Injury Update
Warren (hamstring) missed practice for a second consecutive day on Friday. Pessimism about his Week 12 status has grown throughout the week, and it now seems like it would take a miracle for him to play on Monday night. Expect Benny Snell Jr. to back up Najee Harris versus the Colts.
Caleb Huntley Injury Update
Huntley (ankle) was limited in practice all week long and is officially listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game versus the Commanders. The 24-year-old has offered valuable depth at the running back position, totaling 332 rushing yards and one touchdown over his last eight games. However, he's buried on the depth chart behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier and is not on the fantasy radar at the moment.
Mark Ingram II Injury Update
Ingram (knee) was limited in practice this week and is officially listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the 49ers. The 32-year-old is a solid backup to Alvin Kamara but should be viewed as nothing more than a low-end RB4 in fantasy football.
Chris Evans Injury Update
Evans (knee) has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Titans on Sunday. He has just two catches for 30 yards this season but should see an uptick in volume with Mixon (concussion) sidelined.
Hassan Haskins Injury Update
Haskins (hip) is officially listed as questionable for Week 12. He popped up on the injury report Thursday and looks like a true game-time decision. Even if active, Haskins is the No. 3 back behind Derrick Henry and Dontrell Hilliard, making him a non-factor in fantasy football for the time being.
