Malcolm Brown Quiet In Win

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed just six times for 37 yards and caught a 10-yard pass in the Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints. It was a step back for Brown, who had a much larger workload in the season opener. Brown can't be relied on as a consistent contributor, […]

Todd Gurley Solid In Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints. He also added three catches for four yards.

Darren Sproles Gets Just Two Offensive Touches in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles got just two offensive touches in Week 2. He didn't record a carry, but caught two passes for five yards. Fantasy owners who misinterpreted the role Sproles played in Week 1 were left with what was basically a hole in their lineup in Week 2. Sproles is the Eagles […]

Jordan Howard Barely Moves the Ball in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard couldn't get anything going with the ball in Week 2. He gained 18 yards on eight carries, adding eight yards on his lone catch of the game.

Josh Jacobs Impresses In Week 2

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had another terrific outing in the team’s 28-10 loss to Kansas City Sunday. He gained 99 yards on only 12 carries aided by an outstanding 51-yard run.

Corey Clement Added To List Of Eagles Wounded

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (shoulder) left the Week 2 game on Sunday night against the Falcons with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return. Clement is Philly's main kick returner, and he was injured early in the third quarter on a kickoff in which he fumbled to give the ball right back […]

Dion Lewis Not Involved In Offense In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis does not seem to have much of a role on the team's 2019 offense thus far. Lewis rushed three times for nine yards and caught his lone target in their 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Despite trailing in the fourth quarter, Lewis was still not utilized much by […]

Derrick Henry With Another Strong Performance

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had another strong game in Week 2, rushing 15 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and adding two catches for 12 yards.

Mike Davis Tallies Only One Yard Against Broncos

Chris Thompson Targeted Eight Times In Week 2

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson caught five passes for 48 yards on Sunday. His eight targets trailed only Terry McLaurin, and his 18 targets after two games are the most of any player on the team.

Dalvin Cook Has Huge Game In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed 20 times for 154 yards (7.7 YPC) and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He also caught 3-of-3 targets for 37 yards.

Adrian Peterson Neutralized By Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson opened the scoring in Week 2's loss to the Cowboys, but an early touchdown was the extent of his production for the day.

Damien Williams Injures Knee Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) injured his knee in Week 2 against the Raiders and is questionable to return.

David Johnson Feels Good To Go

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (wrist) said his left wrist is "good" and he feels "good to go" after the Week 2 loss to the Ravens. Johnson said it was a "big relief" not to have suffered a serious injury. The team's lead ball carrier had just seven rushes for 14 yards (2.0 yards […]

Jordan Wilkins Flashes In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins is the third player in the running back rotation. In Week 2, thanks to a 55-yard scamper, he finished the day with five carries for 85 yards.

Saquon Barkley Effective But Misses Out On Big Day

For the second week in a row, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley seemed on his way to a huge day after the first drive. The second-year back piled up 55 yards on the ground and a TD as he thrashed the Bills. However, the Giants Defense would allow the Bills to respond quickly, […]

Marlon Mack Gets Stifled In Week 2

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack went crazy in Week 1. In Week 2, he was held very much in check. On 20 carries, he had just 51 yards while he added two catches for 12 yards. The Titans' defensive line is one of the better groups in football, and it showed as Mack struggled […]

Duke Johnson Sees Drop In Usage

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson ended up seeing his role reduced in Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson had six carries for 31 yards and failed to bring in his only target.
