Nyheim Hines Turns A Solid Outing

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has limited value in the running game, which was evident on Sunday with two carries for two yards with a touchdown. In PPR formats, he had four catches for 41 yards which led him to a solid RB2 stat line. When the team has to throw a lot, as […]

Marlon Mack Salvages A Day With A Touchdown

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had an inefficient day with 12 carries for 34 yards, but he salvaged it with one touchdown. He also added one catch for four yards. Mack dealt with game script issues when the team got down big early. They had to storm back with a lot of throwing, which […]

Kenyan Drake Totals 54 Yards In Loss Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was the team's most involved running back in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville in Week 16. 'Unfortunately, being the team's most involved back didn't amount to much today. Drake rushed six times for 23 yards and caught four passes for 31 yards. The Dolphins offense was downright anemic in […]

James White Scores 11th Touchdown Of Season

New England Patriots running back James White sprinted for a 27-yard touchdown, his 11th total score of the year, in the Patriots 24-14 win over the Bills. White racked 54 all-purpose yards in the game and scored the first time since Week 9. It has been a career season for the veteran but has struggled […]

Sony Michel Posts 116 Rushing Yards Against Bills

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 18 times for 116 yards, including a touchdown, in the Patriots 24-14 win over the Bills. The rookie running back gashed the Bills continuously throughout the game and delivered a huge performance for fantasy owners during championship weekend. The Patriots offense is at its best […]

Kalen Ballage Disappoints In Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage had an underwhelming day in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville. Coming off a 123, one touchdown performance big things were expected of Ballage in this game. Instead he rushed just four times for 10 yards and caught two passes for 39 yards. The Dolphins offense was pitiful in this […]

Tevin Coleman Injures Groin

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (groin) left the game early in the second half with a groin injury in Week 16 against the Panthers and is questionable to return. Late in the game, we'd be surprised if Coleman returns in a meaningless game. As he often does, Coleman was a bust in a lead-back […]

Jamaal Williams In Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) is in the concussion protocol in Week 16 against the Jets and is questionable to return. The good news is that those that started Williams in the fantasy finals were rewarded before his injury, as he ran the ball 10 times for 70 yards and a touchdown […]

Todd Gurley Ruled Out Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Cardinals, according to a source.

T.J. Yeldon A Healthy Scratch

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon is a healthy scratch in Week 16 against the Dolphins. Rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) and kicker Josh Lambo (groin) also remain out. Last week Carlos Hyde was a healthy scratch, but this week it's Yeldon. Hyde and rookie David Williams will back up Leonard Fournette, but neither […]

Chris Ivory, Charles Clay Inactive

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) and tight end Charles Clay are inactive for Week 16 against the Patriots. Ivory practiced in full late in the week, so it's a surprise that he's not playing. With LeSean McCoy back as the lead ball carrier, rookie Keith Ford should back up Shady against New England. […]

Kenny Golladay, Matthew Stafford, LeGarrette Blount Active

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest), quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) and running back LeGarrette Blount (calf) are all active in Week 16 against the Vikings despite being questionable to play. Golladay is the lone offensive weapon that fantasy owners can start during championship weekend, even in a tough matchup. Stafford continues to play through […]

Spencer Ware Ruled Out In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Seahawks. Ware was doubtful to begin with, so fantasy owners weren't counting on him anyway. Damien Williams saw the most carries last Thursday with Ware out and should do so again. Williams had two touchdowns on the […]

Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Ruled Out

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) have both officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Eagles.
