RB | 0 | 23% (–) | 2466 | Jonathan Stewart may return for Week 17 after a two-week absence, but he likely won’t touch close to his full workload of 20-plus carries per game. | ||||

W/R | 6 | 0% (–) | 182 | Harris led the San Francisco running game (11 carries, 73 yards) in a Week 16 loss and figures to lead the San Francisco ground game in a Week 17 home game against the Rams if you're desperate for help. | ||||
W/R | 3 | 0% (–) | 1805 | Steven Jackson saw seven carries in his first action of the 2015 campaign, though he will continue to split touches with Brandon Bolden and James White in a crowded New England backfield. | ||||

K | 8 | 61% (–) | 171 | A pair of defensive TDs cut into Catanzaro's scoring chances in a 38-8 win in Week 16 but he's still enjoying life kicking in a prolific offense and a Week 17 home game against Seattle should yield more kicking opportunities. | ||||
