Ty Johnson Disappoints On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson finished with just seven carries for 25 yards and a catch for 13 yards during the win over the Giants.

Matt Breida Exits Early With Ankle Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) compiled 50 scrimmage yards before exiting early in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers.

Tra Carson Leads Team In Rushing

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson finished with 34 yards on 12 carries during the win over the Giants on Sunday. After getting claimed off of waivers a little over a week ago, Carson outpaced Ty Johnson, who had just seven attempts for an abysmal 25 yards. With the team next heading to Oakland for […]

T.J. Yeldon Inactive For Second-Straight Week

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon was inactive for Week 8 while his team faced the Eagles. It was the second-straight game in which Yeldon was inactive. Devin Singletary returned from a month-long absence in Week 7 and the team has decided to move forward with Singletary and Frank Gore leading the way. Yeldon should […]

Devin Singletary Has Seven Touches, Scores Touchdown

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary was one of the few offensive bright spots in Week 8 for the team. They managed barely over 250 yards of offense as a team, but Singletary made out all right, gaining a total of 49 yards and scoring one of the team's two touchdowns. Singletary only saw three […]

Peyton Barber Accumulates 20 Yards In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had just 20 yards on 10 carries in the loss to the Titans on Sunday. As usual, Barber received nearly an equal amount of carries as Ronald Jones II, who compiled an unimpressive 35 yards on 11 attempts. The distribution of work has been the norm for the […]

Frank Gore Has A Quiet Game In Week 8

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore gained just 34 yards on nine carries in Week 8 against the Eagles. It was his lowest rushing total since Week 1. The Bills' offense struggled as a whole in the game. Gore heavily out-carried the team's No. 2 running back Devin Singletary, who gained 19 yards on just […]

Ronald Jones II Rushes For 35 Yards In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had 11 attempts for 35 yards in the loss to the Titans. Barber also had a catch for 17 yards, but as usual, he received nearly as many touches as Peyton Barber, who finished the day with 20 yards on 10 carries. Until Barber goes down with […]

Latavius Murray Gashes Cardinals For 157 Yards and Two Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had an excellent day against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The seventh-year veteran carried the ball 24 times for 102 yards, hauled in nine of 12 targets for 55 yards and found the end zone twice. With their bye coming up in Week 9 and starter Alvin […]

Bilal Powell Gets Four Carries

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell carried the ball four times for 11 yards in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. Powell was not targeted in the passing game. This is the first game this season Powell has had more than one carry so he won't carry any standalone fantasy value. However, his four […]

Le'Veon Bell Gets Only 12 Touches Vs Jaguars

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell ran the ball nine times for 23 yards while adding three receptions for an additional 12 yards in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. The 12 touches are easily the lowest total for Bell in any game this season as the Jets completely abandoned the run game after […]

Tarik Cohen Disappoints In Defeat

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught three passes for 37 yards in the Bears 17-16 loss to the Chargers in Week 8. Cohen caught a nice pass from quarterback Mitch Trubisky for 31 yards in the first half but was largely ineffective the rest of the game. The Bears offense got the ground game […]

Darrell Henderson As Uneventful Day

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson saw 11 carries in a blowout of the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, and he rushed for 49 yards. He also caught two balls for 20 yards in what was an OK showing, but it didn't do much in fantasy. The Rams are on a bye next week, […]

David Montgomery Explodes For 147 Total Yards

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery enjoyed his best day as a pro, rushing for 135 yards and adding 12 receiving yards with one touchdown against the Chargers in Week 9.

Todd Gurley Reaches End Zone

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley had a quiet day in Week 8 with 10 rushes for 44 yards, but he salvaged the day with a touchdown. He was targeted once through the air, but he didn't record a reception. The Rams were in control throughout the game, and Gurley was used lightly. He'll […]

Giovani Bernard Rushes For 31 Yards

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard ran for a season-high 31 yards during the loss to the Rams on Sunday. Though the 27-year-old had just three rushing attempts, he was able to salvage what would have been a dismal performance by breaking out a 25-yard gain midway through the second quarter in addition to bringing […]

Joe Mixon Scores Again In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon rushed for 66 yards on 17 attempts to go along with four catches for 11 yards and a score during the loss to the Rams in London. While he is still without a rushing touchdown on the year, the 23-year-old was able to find the end zone through the […]

Marlon Mack Gets Into The End Zone In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack bounced back in Week 8 for a solid day. He had 19 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown. He also caught his lone target for 14 yards. Mack had volume, which is usually what he needs to give himself a solid fantasy day. The Colts prefer to grind […]

Leonard Fournette Quiet Aside From 66-Yard Carry

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had a 66-yard run in the first quarter of Jacksonville's Week 8 win over the New York Jets, but Fournette ended up finishing with just 76 rushing yards on 19 carries, which means his other 18 carries went for a total of just 10 yards. Fournette did add seven […]

Brian Hill Scores His First Touchdown Of The Season

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill filled in as the team's No. 2 back behind Devonta Freeman in Week 8 as Ito Smith (concussion) was sidelined due to remaining in concussion protocol. Hill only saw three carries in the game, but made the most of them, gaining 29 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown run, his […]

Boston Scott Scores a Touchdown in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills.

Miles Sanders Does a Lot on Just Six Touches in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders only handled six touches in Week 8, but he made the most of each one. Sanders ran the ball three times, gaining 74 yards and scoring a touchdown.

He had a total of 21 touches in the game, carrying the ball 13 times for 39 yards while catching all eight of his targets for 63 yards.

Jordan Howard Puts Together Another Strong Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard had another successful performance in Week 8, running the ball 23 times for 96 yards and a touchdown. He added one reception for 15 more yards. Howard's touchdown came on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter. Howard has blatantly established himself as the lead back for the Eagles, […]

Chase Edmonds Leaves Game Early Against Saints

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) left the game early in Week 8 against the Saints and needed assistance from the trainers to leave the field. He's questionable to return. After scoring three unexpected touchdowns in Week 7 when David Johnson (ankle, back) was active, Edmonds threw up a dud on Sunday against New […]

Miles Sanders Injured Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in Week 8 against the Bills and is questionable to return. His fantasy owners won't be complaining too much, though, as Sanders had three carries for 74 yards and a touchdown before departing. He also added three receptions for 44 yards in the passing […]

Rex Burkhead Active In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is active for Week 8 against the Browns. It'll be Burkhead's first time active since Week 4. He'll be third on the running back depth chart behind Sony Michel and James White, so he'll need positive game script in the second half to have a chance at […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Active Against Texans

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) and wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) are officially active in Week 8 against the Texans. Jacobs and Williams were both expected to play. The impressive rookie running back may be at risk of reduced snaps, but fantasy owners must still consider him a strong RB2 as the […]

Marquise Goodwin Out, Raheem Mostert Active

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) is not active for Week 8 against the Panthers, while running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is active. Goodwin just hasn't been a factor at all in 2019 for San Fran's run-first offense, and he's even more unattractive now in fantasy with Emmanuel Sanders set to take over […]
