BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m not discovering new grounds here by saying Nyheim Hines is the clear backup and second option to Marlon Mack’s RB1 role in Indy. That is clear as water, but at the same time Hines has a very defined role in the Colts […]

Saquon Barkley Barely Avoids Career-Worst Game

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley disappointed for the second straight week.

Ezekiel Elliott Runs for More Than 100 Yards Again in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was excellent on Monday Night Football in Week 9, running the ball 23 times for 139 yards. He was not targeted in the passing game this time around.

Josh Jacobs Listed As Limited In Practice

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was listed as limited on the team's estimated injury report on Monday, but should be all systems go for Thursday's matchup versus the Chargers.

Mark Walton Suspended Four Games

Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has been suspended for four games for violating the league's policy for substances of abuse.

Walton […]

Phillip Lindsay Finds End Zone Against Browns

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay had an efficient afternoon against the Browns on Sunday, making the most of the few reps he saw.

Royce Freeman Has Quiet Day Against Browns

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman had a quiet day on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, taking a backseat to teammate Phillip Lindsay. Freeman only managed to get five rushing attempts that he turned into an abysmal 15 yards. Even more disappointing was the fact he only had one reception during the game which he […]

Le'Veon Bell Undergoes MRI On Knee

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his knee on Monday.

Kareem Hunt Will Have A Role Against Bills

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens is looking forward to getting running back Kareem Hunt back from his suspension and said that "he'll definitely have a role" in Week 10 against the Bills.

Ronald Jones II Has Earned Bigger Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II has earned the right to start and play more snaps ahead of Peyton Barber. It's about time. Jones has been the more explosive back for most of the year and just carried the ball 18 times for 67 yards and a […]

Melvin Gordon Finally Looks Good In Win

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon logged 80 yards on 20 carries, and for the first time this season, he looked like his old self. Gordon made shifty cuts, powered through defenders, and even hurdled an incoming tackler to tack on a couple extra yards. Gordon also hauled in a pair of touchdowns including […]

Rashaad Penny Disappears Against Tampa

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny was basically a ghost for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Bucs. Though he's still the primary backup for Chris Carson, the shootout against Tampa limited Penny's opportunities to just four carries. While Carson flattened the defense, racking up 6.6 yards per carry, Penny tallied just 12 yards in […]

Chris Carson Cracks The Century Mark

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson throttled the Tampa defense on Sunday as he rushed for 105 yards on the ground, averaging 6.6 yards per carry.

Gus Edwards Scampers One In

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 27 yards on seven carries and scored his first touchdown of the season Sunday night against the Patriots.

Mark Ingram Rushes For 115 Yards But Coughs One Up

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram looked good early against the Patriots on Sunday night.

Ty Johnson Disappoints For Second Consecutive Game

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson led the Lions backfield in touches in Week 9, but not much else went his way in this one. The running back assumed by many to be the best option this backfield had to offer when Kerryon Johnson (knee) was placed on IR has not been able to establish […]

Detroit Lions running back J.D. McKissic led the Lions backfield in Week 9, posting 72 yards on seven touches and scoring a touchdown in the Lions loss. McKissic posted a stunning 8 YPC on the day, but the Lions were focusing more on the passing game in this one, as they have been since Kerryon […]
