San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey had 21 carries for 117 yards versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. He added six receptions for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers' run game has struggled to gain traction all season, and Monday didn't seem the most likely time for that to change against a Colts defense that entered tied for second in yards per carry allowed (3.8). But San Francisco's offensive line was up to the task with McCaffrey enjoying his second-best rushing effort of the season. McCaffrey surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the season, the fifth time he has done it in his career. He'll go up against the Bears on Sunday night in Week 17. |

Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (shoulder), C Ryan Kelly (concussion), RB Jordan Mason (ankle), QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) and OT Brian O'Neill (heel) did not participate in practice Monday, Dec. 22. RB Aaron Jones (ankle), DT Javon Hargrave (thigh) and LB Eric Wilson (thumb) were limited during practice. TE Gavin Bartholomew (back), RB Ty Chandler (knee) and LB Austin Keys (ankle) fully participated in practice. The Vikings did not hold a practice Monday, so the report is an estimation.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) has been diagnosed with a neck strain and is considered day-to-day, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Vidal had to exit Sunday's eventual victory over the Cowboys early in the contest. In 12 games with 10 starts this season, Vidal leads the Chargers with 631 yards rushing. He's rushed for three touchdowns and caught 15 passes for 138 yards with a TD. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Omarion Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Playing the Texans on Saturday, the Chargers' first injury report of the week is due out on Tuesday. |
Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) suffered a broken fibula and dislocated ankle during the Week 16 game but does not have any damage in his knee, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: While this is good news, Judkins' injury was still severe enough to require a four-to-five-month recovery after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula, a league source told Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. That could put him back on the practice field, at least on a limited basis, sometime during the offseason program in the spring. |

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ankle) rushed 21 times for 85 yards and caught two passes for eight yards in a 16-13 win over the New York Giants in Week 16, and Jones was playing through an ankle injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: Jones' 2025 season has already been limited by injury. He missed an entire month due to a hamstring injury. The veteran Pro Bowler entered this week with 410 rushing yards and just one touchdown on the ground. Still, with Jordan Mason suffering what appears to be a more severe injury, Jones could be asked to carry a heavy load against the Lions this week -- if he's available for a Thursday night game. Zavier Scott is also in the mix at RB here. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Rachaad White rushed five times for 45 yards in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, while he had two receptions for 15 yards on his two targets.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed 19 times for 71 yards in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Sean Tucker scored the only rushing touchdown for the Bucs. He is a thorn in the side of Irving fantasy teams, along with the Bucs coaches for not using Irving in the passing game. Irving is still a strong RB2 play next week against a Miami defense that gave up four running back touchdowns in Week 16. |
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal carried five times for 11 yards in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. He also suffered a neck injury in the game and did not appear to return.
| Footballguys view: Vidal got hurt in the second half, requiring trainers to tend to him on the field. Although his role has decreased since Omarion Hampton's return from injury, Vidal has remained an integral part of the offense. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Los Angeles did not provide an update on Vidal before the game ended. The Chargers face the Texans in Week 17. |
New Orleans Saints RB Evan Hull rushed for three yards on five carries against the New York Jets in Week 16.
Link to storyEvan Hull player page
New Orleans Saints RB Audric Estime rushed for 19 yards on five carries against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also caught three passes for 17 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Estime was a productive back in limited work after Devin Neal went down in Week 15, but any chance he had to make a fantasy impact in Week 16 went by the wayside when the team decided to feature Taysom Hill in the backfield. He'll go back to the waiver wire from whence he came. |
Tennessee Titans RBs Kalel Mullings and Julius Chestnut each had just a single rush in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Chestnut had a 1-yard gain, and Mulling' touch went for no gain. Neither player was targeted in the passing game.
Link to storyTennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears rushed 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding five receptions for 53 yards on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Spears wasn't in fantasy lineups - or even on many redraft rosters - for this one, but he looked explosive as a runner and receiver and shouldn't be abandoned in dynasty leagues. He'll be a what-the-heck flex against the Saints in Week 17. |
Tyjae Spears player page
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 21 times for 102 yards in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Pollard posted his third straight 100-yard game, but Tyjae Spears got the rushing touchdown, so it wasn't a big success for fantasy despite the comfortable home win for the Titans. Consider him an upside flex play for the fantasy championship round next week against the Saints. |

New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis caught four passes for 52 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also rushed for eight yards on three carries during the game.
Link to storyKansas City Chiefs RB Brashard Smith did not have a rushing attempt in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding a 4-yard reception on his only target.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall rushed for 54 yards on 16 carries against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also caught two passes for nine yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: For the second straight week, backup Isaiah Davis outperformed Hall in fantasy leagues in a crushing blow for fantasy teams that kept Hall in on the basis of his demonstrated talent. Hall will only be in Week 17 fantasy lineups as a desperation play, but hopefully he will sign somewhere in free agency next season that has a functional offense and commitment to him as a lead back. |
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton carried 16 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught one pass for 10 yards.
| Footballguys view: Hampton got more work in the second half after Kimani Vidal left with a neck injury. We'll be watching to see if Vidal will be available for the Week 17 game against the Texans. If not, Hampton will be a strong RB2 play in the fantasy championship week. |
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed three times for just two yards in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
