Ty Montgomery Gets Three Targets Sunday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery made three catches on three targets for 17 yards in a win over the Cowboys Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott carried the ball four times in Week 6, gaining 30 yards. Scott was just elevated to the active roster from the practice squad this week, to take the place of Corey Clement (shoulder) on the running back depth chart.

Le'Veon Bell Scores For First Time Since Week 1

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards and scored his first touchdown since a receiving score in Week 1 vs Buffalo. Bell has been the centerpiece of the Jets offense so far playing a 94.3 percent snap share coming into the game, and head coach Adam Gase […]

Duke Johnson Finds The End Zone In Win

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson finished with five carries for 34 yards in addition to two catches for 20 yards and a score during the win over Kansas City. While Carlos Hyde virtually monopolized the team's rushing attack, Johnson managed to scrounge up his first touchdown of the season. Hyde appears to have a […]

Jordan Howard Has a Pedestrian Week 6 Performance

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard didn't do much in Week 6. He ran the ball 13 times, gaining 49 yards. Howard's 3.8 yards per carry average wasn't anything special, and he added nothing in the passing game. Still, he clearly ran ahead of rookie Miles Sanders, who only carried the ball three times for […]

Carlos Hyde Gets Plenty Of Touches In Win

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde finished with a season-high 26 attempts for 116 yards and a touchdown during the win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has been carving up defenses all season, but that was not the case versus the Denver Broncos in Week 6. Henry rushed 15 times for 28 yards in the loss to the Broncos. He averaged 1.9 yards per carry, but fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. It was an all […]

Chris Thompson Sees Just Five Touches In Win

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson touched the ball a season-low five times for 20 total yards on Sunday. Washington's success on the ground with Adrian Peterson minimized the need to turn to Thompson as often as usual in the passing game, and he naturally turned in his worst fantasy outing of the season. For […]

Phillip Lindsay Finds The End Zone In Win

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay continued his recent hot streak on Sunday afternoon as he posted a solid game against the Tennessee Titans. The 2nd-year running back totaled 75 yards on the afternoon, most coming from the running game. He also managed to find the end zone once during the game. Lindsay has now […]

Adrian Peterson Finally Has A Day Against Dolphins

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 23 times for 118 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. He was unable to cap off his performance with a touchdown, but his fantasy owners will take it after the veteran failed to reach even 30 yards on the ground in three of his previous […]

Devonta Freeman Tops 100 Yards, Scores Twice

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had his best game of the year in Week 6. He gained 118 yards from scrimmage on 22 touches, including three catches on three targets, and scored two receiving touchdowns.

Alvin Kamara Struggles Against Jaguars, Tweaks Knee

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was stifled by the Jaguars in Week 6.

LeSean McCoy Leads the Team in Carries Versus Texans

Kansas City Chief running back LeSean McCoy was looked upon as the lead back for the Week 6 matchup against the Houston Texans. McCoy saw eight carries for 44 yards in the 31-24 loss in KC. This was a pass heavy game, so the Chiefs didn't do much running in this one. Damien Williams saw […]

Damien Williams Gets One Carry in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams looked like a ghost on the field in the 31-24 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 6. Williams rushed one time for six yards on the ground. Luckily, he caught one pass for a 14 yard touchdown that gave him some fantasy value. LeSean McCoy saw almost […]

Mark Ingram Gets In The End Zone

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in Sunday's Week 6 win against Cincinnati. Fantasy owners are thankful Ingram was able to score early, otherwise his performance would've been subpar in starting lineups. Ingram got more touches than both running backs Gus Edwards and Justice Hill […]

Leonard Fournette Rushes For 72 Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette failed to hit the century mark on the ground against New Orleans after hitting it in his previous two outings. The day wasn't a complete failure despite his team falling to the Saints, however, as the 24-year-old had 20 touches for 72 yards on the day in addition to […]

Auden Tate With A Game-High 12 Targets

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate led the way offensively in the loss to Baltimore, finishing with five receptions for 91 yards on a game-high 12 targets. With Joe Mixon and Tyler Boyd unable to get anything going, Tate was the only bright spot offensively for the Bengals on the day. However, with veteran A.J. […]

Joe Mixon's Frustrating Season Continues

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was virtually lifeless in the loss to the Ravens on Sunday. After rushing for a season-high 93 yards on 19 carries, things appeared to be trending in the right direction for the 23-year-old. However, after finishing with just 10 yards on eight attempts while scrounging up a few receptions, […]

Andy Dalton Rushes For A Score

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton went 21-for-39 for 235 yards and an interception on Sunday against the Ravens. While he didn't throw a touchdown in this one, he did manage to rush one in late in the fourth quarter.

Peyton Barber Unable To Get Going In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was unable to get anything going against the Panthers in Week 6, gaining just 28 yards on 10 carries on the day. Barber did get more carries than backfield mate Ronald Jones II, but could not find any holes and was otherwise a non-factor in what turned out […]

Ronald Jones II Underwhelms In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was unable to get going Sunday, gaining only 10 yards on four carries, but did score a touchdown to save his day. Jones again fell victim to the Bucs unpredictable backfield rotation after starting to seemingly separate himself from the pack, seeing fewer snaps and touches than […]

Christian McCaffrey Goes For Two Touchdowns

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey recorded just 57 total yards against Tampa Bay on Sunday, but still managed to find the end zone twice in Week 6. While McCaffrey was stuffed by the Buccaneers Defense by rushing for an abysmal 31 yards on 22 attempts, he offset his shoddy numbers with a touchdown run […]

Alvin Kamara Officially Active For Week 6

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is active against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kamara gets a juicy matchup in Week 6, though he might be limited. Even if he has a smaller role, he should still put up RB1 numbers against Jacksonville.

Rashaad Penny Inactive Against Browns

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is ruled out for Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. The 23-year-old has now missed three games this year with the injury and will likely carry a questionable tag heading into next week. Penny's absence will mean more touches for starter Chris Carson. C.J. Prosise will backup Carson […]
