Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison saw his first NFL action in Week 11 against the Panthers. He carried the ball four times for 11 yards and a touchdown.

Brian Hill Gains Just 38 Yards In First Start Of Season

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill certainly had plenty of opportunities to produce in Week 11, but he failed to do much of anything with them. He carried the ball 15 times for just 30 yards and caught only one of his three targets for eight yards. The team's No. 2 running back in the […]

Duke Johnson Has Forgettable Game

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson rushed six times for 40 yards and added just four receiving yards on two catches in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Carlos Hyde Scores Against Ravens

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde salvaged a rough day with a late 41-yard touchdown run in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Broncos To Ride Phillip Lindsay Against Vikings

The Denver Broncos are expected to ride running back Phillip Lindsay more in the backfield over Royce Freeman in Week 11 against the Vikings on the road.

Le'Veon Bell, Demaryius Thomas Active

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee, illness, ribs) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) are both active for Week 11 against the Redskins.

Damien Williams Back With Team

Adrian Peterson Expected To Remain The Starter

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is expected to remain the starter in Week 11 against the Jets despite Derrius Guice (knee) returning for the first time since the season opener, according to a source.

Miles Sanders Expected To Lead Backfield Over Jay Ajayi

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is expected to get most of the work in the backfield in Week 11 against the Patriots over recently signed running back Jay Ajayi with Jordan Howard (shoulder) out.

Kenyan Drake Starting Over David Johnson

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake will start over David Johnson against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11.

Jordan Howard Not Expected To Play

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 11 against the Patriots, is not expected to play, according to a source.
