Mark Ingram II Remains Involved In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II ran for 55 yards and a score on nine carries during the win over the Texans in Week 2. He also caught two passes for 22 yards. Although the veteran managed to find the end zone, he still conceded carries to Gus Edwards and rookie J.K. Dobbins, who […]

Myles Gaskin Heavily Involved In Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was a busy man during the Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He carried the ball seven times for 46 yards and hauled in six receptions for 36 yards through the air. The Dolphins have a three-back committee, but Gaskin appears to be the best out of the […]

David Johnson Quiet Against Baltimore

Houston Texans running back David Johnson could never find his sledding on Sunday in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and added two catches for 16 yards. With Duke Johnson (leg) out, David Johnson was the only running back to get a touch in this contest. […]

LeSean McCoy Catches Five Passes

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy hauled in five of seven targets for 26 receiving yards in Week 2. McCoy also handled one carry, though he went backwards on it. The veteran back was expected to occupy some sort of pass-catching role for Tampa Bay and he was able to do that well, helping […]

James White Inactive Sunday Night Vs. Seattle

New England Patriots running back is inactive for his team's Sunday night game against the Seattle Seahawks. In tragic news, White's father was in a car crash earlier on Sunday and did not survive. His mother was also involved in the crash and is in critical condition. White obviously has more important things on his […]

Malcolm Brown Comes Down To Earth In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown was unable to replicate his impressive performance from Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. He finished with 11 carries for 47 yards on the afternoon. He was efficient, but he was unable to get into the end zone to achieve much fantasy value for the […]

Christian McCaffrey To Have MRI Monday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) will have an MRI to discover the severity of the ankle injury he sustained in his team's loss to the Buccaneers. McCaffrey was on the sideline and wasn't ruled out, though he never returned to the game. The team is optimistic that it's not too serious, though the […]

Zack Moss Slowed Down By Dolphins

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss wasn't able to find much room to run during the Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. He rushed eight times for 37 yards and did not catch any passes at all. He continues to split up the carries with Devin Singletary. The fact they split the carries will […]

Devin Singletary Goes Over 50 Yards In Victory

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary had a fairly decent game on the ground during the Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Singletary rushed 10 times for 56 yards and hauled in two receptions for 20 yards. He continues to split up the carries with rookie Zack Moss, but both of them saw action […]

Derrick Henry Held In Check Against Jaguars

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry ran for 84 yards on 25 rush attempts during Sunday's 33-30 win against the Jaguars. He was also targeted twice in the passing game but recorded zero receptions. Combining Sunday's final statistics with Henry's Week 1 performance (3.7 YPC), the star running back is off to an inefficient start […]

Adrian Peterson Held To 41 Rushing Yards

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball seven times for 41 yards in the team's 42-21 loss to the Packers in Week 2. The future Hall of Famer ripped off a 25-yard run early in the game but the running game was erased after the Packers built a multiple-score lead in the second […]

Tony Pollard Gets Three Touches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard only got three touches in Week 2. It was one touch less than the four he received in Week 1. Pollard continues to work as Ezekiel Elliott's direct backup and has league-winning upside if anything happens to Elliott, but has very little if any stand-alone fantasy value. He should […]

Benny Snell Jr. Returns To Backup Role In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. returned to a backup role behind James Conner in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Snell carried the ball just three times for five yards, lost a fumble, and lost four yards on his lone reception. It was a rough outing for the second-year […]

D'Andre Swift Gets Involved In The Passing Game

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift mustered only 12 rushing yards but caught a team-high five passes for 60 yards in the Lions loss to the Packers in Week 2. One week after dropping a game-winning touchdown against the Bears, the rookie secured all five of his targets. The Lions Defense was no match for […]

James Conner Tops 100 Yards, Finds End Zone

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner had a nice game in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Conner carried the ball 16 times for 106 yards and a touchdown and added two catches for 15 yards in the win. It was a solid, albeit somewhat unexpected, outing for Conner, who left […]

Ezekiel Elliott Scores Again In Week 2 Comeback

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown in Sunday's incredible comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Elliott ran the ball 22 times for 89 yards and a score, adding six catches for 33 more yards. Quarterback Dak Prescott ended up scoring three of his own rushing touchdowns, so this could have been an […]

Aaron Jones Enjoys Monster Day Against Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 18 times for 168 yards, added 68 receiving yards and scored three touchdowns in the Packers 42-21 win over the Lions. It was Jones' day as he gashed the Lions in every which way throughout the game. Jones caught a seven-yard pass from quarterback Aaron […]

Raheem Mostert May Have MCL Sprain

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) may have suffered an MCL sprain in the team's Week 2 win over the Jets. The team is not certain until further tests are conducted, but at any rate, they'll be without their best back for at least the near future. It's a shame because Mostert had […]

Dalvin Cook Salvages Week 2 With Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 14 times for 63 yards and one touchdown in the Vikings 28-11 loss to the Colts. It was a terrible offensive effort for the Vikings, who simply could not get the passing game going. Cook was able to punch in a three-yard touchdown late in the […]

Dion Lewis Scores Touchdown In Loss To Bears

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis had 10 carries for 20 yards and a touchdown after starting running back Saquon Barkley (knee) left with an injury. Lewis added four catches for 36 yards in the loss at Chicago. Lewis will be a popular waiver wire add, but he won't take over the role Barkley […]

Todd Gurley Finishes With 21 Carries

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II finished the Week 2 loss to the Cowboys with 21 rushes for 61 yards. Despite a high-scoring affair, it was the aerial attack of the Falcons that did most of the damage. On the bright side, Gurley has had essentially no competition for his RB1 role on the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Goes Big In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. seized his opportunity in a big way in Week 2. He finished the day with 12 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also added two receptions for 40 yards. This was the hope for Henderson when he entered the league last season. It's unclear if his […]

Tarik Cohen Posts Only 27 Total Yards

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen carried the ball five times for 12 yards and added one 15-yard reception in the Bears win over the Giants in Week 2. Cohen was featured early but this became David Montgomery's game by the second half. Cohen is extremely talented and is also coming off signing a three-year […]

Ronald Jones II Upstaged In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II took a backseat to Leonard Fournette in Week 2. Jones II posted 23 rushing yards on seven carries with a touchdown and caught both of his targets for four receiving yards. Fortunately for Jones II, he punched in a seven-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to […]

Boston Scott Gets Seven Touches In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott only touched the ball seven times in a Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With Miles Sanders (hamstring) back on the field and leading the Eagles offense, Scott settled back into his backup role. He ran the ball four times for 19 yards, adding three catches for […]

Chris Thompson Scores Week 2 Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson scored his first touchdown of the 2020 season on Sunday, finishing with three catches for 20 yards and a score. He also added two rushes for seven yards. Of course, Thompson only getting five touches in this loss to the Titans is worrisome, especially with a game script that […]

Miles Sanders Totals 131 Yards In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) looked healthy in his return to the lineup in Week 2. He ran the ball 20 times for 95 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 36 more yards. Sanders missed Week 1 and was questionable for this one, but he looked good and was easily the […]

Leonard Fournette Explodes For 103 Yards, Two Scores

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette powered his way to 103 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a 31-17 victory over the Panthers. Fournette operated as the second-half running back and looked pretty impressive doing so, as he averaged 8.6 yards per carry. The former Jaguars running back broke loose for a 46-yard scamper […]

David Montgomery Come Up Huge Against Giants

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 16 times for 82 yards and added 45 receiving yards and one touchdown catch in the Bears 17-13 win over the Giants. The talented runner got the Bears on the board with some nifty moves en route to a 28-yard receiving scamper for a score. Montgomery […]
