Miami Dolphins running back La'Mical Perine should see an increased workload going forward after the release of Le'Veon Bell.

Matt Breida Posts Dud Versus Jets

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida continued his lackluster season versus the New York Jets in Week 6. Breida rushed the ball six time for 15 yards in the 24-0 victory.

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison carried the ball 10 times for only 26 yards in the Vikings 34-16 loss to the Falcons in Week 6.

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman handled 18 carries for 61 yards in a win over Washington Sunday. Freeman caught his only target for minus-four yards.
