Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage Officially In Timeshare

Miami Dolphins running backs Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage shared the tiny load equally on Sunday, in a 43-0 loss at home to the New England Patriots. Ballage started the game and played in the second series as well before giving way to Drake for Miami's final three drives of the half. The two backs […]

Jeffery Wilson Vultures Two Touchdowns

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson scored two rushing touchdowns in Week 2’s win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson’s role as the primary goal-line back paid off, as he handled 10 carries for 34 yards, including two successful conversions inside the 5-yard line. The Niners promoted Wilson from the practice squad this week and […]

Carlos Hyde Is Houston's RB1

The Houston Texans' Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars made one thing clear: Carlos Hyde is the team's No. 1 running back. Hyde carried the ball 20 times for 90 yards, while Duke Johnson saw just six carries. Hyde likely won't carry the ball 20 times every week, but head coach Bill O'Brien made […]

Jaylen Samuels Nets 31 Total Yards

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels toted three carries for 18 yards, while catching one pass for 13 yards in Sunday's 28-26 loss to the Seahawks. James Conner (knee) went down which thrusted Samuels into action, but he didn't get as many chances as the Steelers were playing comeback in the second half. The second-year […]

Joe Mixon Can't Get Going Against The 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) started in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers and simply couldn't get anything going on the ground or in the passing game. Mixon carried the ball 11 times for just 17 yards and added three catches for a mere 10 yards. In fairness to Mixon, he really […]

Leonard Fournette Grinds Out Solid Fantasy Day

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 15 times for 47 yards in Jacksonville's Week 2 loss to the Houston Texans. He also caught four passes for 40 yards. Fournette was the only Jaguars running back with a carry or a target in this one, and while it wasn't his best game, his […]

Rex Burkhead Tallies 68 Total Yards Against Miami

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead caught two passes for 47 yards and added 21 rushing yards in the team's blowout win over the Dolphins. It is early in the season but Burkhead has somehow passed veteran James White on the depth chart. Burkhead has ability running and catching the football and has succeeded […]

James White Picks Up Late Touchdown

New England Patriots running back James White totaled only 29 yards from scrimmage but caught a late touchdown in the team's 43-0 win over the Dolphins in Week 2. The running game revolved around Sony Michel in this contest and White was a non-factor most of the game. The Patriots have improved wide receiving talent […]

Sony Michel Punches In Touchdown

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 21 times for 85 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 43-0 win over the Dolphins in Week 2. After posting only 14 yards in Week 1, Michel was heavily involved in the offense and ran with conviction. The second-year running back saw plenty of […]

Tony Pollard Gets Just Five Touches in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard only touched the ball five times in Week 2. He ran the ball four times for 22 yards and caught a pass for three more yards. With starter Ezekiel Elliott back to his full workload, Pollard took a back seat as expected. Still one of the league's highest […]

Devin Singletary Injures Hamstring Sunday

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury late in the Week 2 game against the Giants and has been ruled out for the game. The rookie ran six times for 57 and a touchdown (9.5 yards per carry) but wasn't targeted at all in the passing game before his injury. […]

Ezekiel Elliott Shines in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was excellent in Week 2, running the ball 23 times for 111 yards and a touchdown. He added two catches for nine more yards through the air. Elliott dominated the backfield in this one as expected, ceding only four carries to his backup, Tony Pollard. Back to his regular […]

James Conner Injured Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) injured his knee in Week 2 against the Steelers and is questionable to return. Conner had 11 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown and also caught three passes for 12 yards before leaving. If his injury puts him in danger of missing any time, Jaylen Samuels will […]

David Johnson Returns After Injury

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (wrist) returned to the Week 2 game against the Ravens after injuring his wrist in the first quarter. Johnson's owners can let out a sigh of relief now. It'll be tough for him not to turn out being a bust this week, though, as he […]

David Johnson Injured Sunday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (wrist) suffered a wrist injury in the first quarter of Week 2 against the Ravens and is questionable to return. Johnson ran three times for seven yards and caught one pass for no gain before getting injured. A first-round pick in fantasy leagues, losing Johnson would be devastating for […]

Kenyan Drake On The Trade Block?

While there are reports spreading that the Miami Dolphins have had trade talks with other teams surrounding running back Kenyan Drake this week, the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero is reporting that the team has had zero conversations with other teams about trading him, according to a club source. It wouldn't be a surprise if the […]

Damien Harris, Jakobi Meyers Inactive

New England Patriots rookie running back Damien Harris and rookie wide receiver Jakobi Meyers are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Dolphins. Both players have exciting long-term appeal for those in dynasty leagues, but the Patriots are just too stacked at running back and receiver now for either of them to make an […]

Mark Ingram, Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Playing Sunday

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (shoulder), tight end Mark Andrews (foot) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (hip) are all active in Week 2 against the Cardinals, as expected. All three players had huge weeks in the season opener and could all shine again against a weak Cardinals Defense at home. Ingram has clear […]

Joe Mixon Playing Against 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is active for Week 2 against the 49ers. Mixon does have a good matchup against a Niners team that gave up healthy ground yardage against Tampa in the season opener, but Mixon will have a lot of volatility and could have his snaps limited while playing through his […]
