Austin Ekeler Suffers Stinger In Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler suffered another stinger in the Week 14 win over the Bengals and will require further testing, according to a source. A short week against the Chiefs on Thursday might make it tough for Ekeler to be ready. After disappointing as the lead back in Week 13, Ekeler bounced […]

Nick Chubb Showing His Floor is Non-Existent

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb took a step back in production, getting only 13 carries for 66 yards versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. Chubb kept his hot streak of finding the end zone alive, tallying his fifth week in a row with a touchdown. This is also the second straight week that […]

Stevan Ridley Manages Short Score

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Stevan Ridley carried the ball five times for four yards and a touchdown in his team's 24-21 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 14. Ridley was not a factor in the passing game but he was called upon to punch in a two-yard score in the second quarter. While Ridley […]

Zach Zenner Scores First Touchdown Of Season Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back Zach Zenner rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries and scored his first touchdown of the season in the 17-3 win over the Cardinals. Since re-signing with the Lions earlier in the season and returning from injury in Week 9, Zenner has received breadcrumbs in the Lions rushing attack. However, that […]

Jaylen Samuels Shows Well In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels turned in a solid game in his team's 24-21 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 14. Samuels managed just 28 yards on 11 carries but he hauled in seven passes for 64 yards to finish second on the team in receiving. The rookie running back did get vultured […]

Theo Riddick Gets 10 Touches In Week 14

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick took six carries for 28 yards and caught all four of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. The 27-year-old still has yet to find pay dirt this season but continues to be a steady low-ceiling flex option in PPR leagues. Next week, the Lions […]

Royce Freeman Effective in Limited Action

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman picked up six yards per carry in the Broncos 20-14 loss to the 49ers Sunday. Only one problem, he received just six carries. With Phillip Lindsay taking over the No. 1 spot in this backfield, Freeman's fantasy value is all but vanquished as he receives minimal work in the […]

Alfred Blue Gets Touchdown In Week 14

Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue finished with 21 yards and a touchdown on six carries in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He failed to bring in his only target. Blue's had some solid performances this season, but hasn't been consistent enough to garner fantasy consideration and has instead served more as a thorn […]

Lamar Miller Finds End Zone Despite Struggles

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller struggled to find running room for much of Sunday's loss to the Colts, finishing with 33 rushing yards on 14 carries and adding 19 receiving yards on five catches. Miller did manage to get into the end zone, though, on a direct snap at the goal line, salvaging what […]

Phillip Lindsay Quiet in Loss

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay picked up 30 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries while adding another 21 yards on four receptions in the Broncos 20-14 loss to the 49ers. The Broncos offensive unit continues to underperform as a whole, but Lindsay came into this game as one of the hottest RBs in […]

LeGarrette Blount Held In Check Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount rushed for 33 yards on 12 carries and also caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Rookie Kerryon Johnson (knee) missed a third straight game so Blount had a chance to have a solid day; however Zach Zenner came in and stole the […]

Jeffery Wilson Piles Up 24 Touches

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson handled 23 carries for 90 yards in Week 14’s win against the Denver Broncos. He added one catch for six yards. It was a blue-collared day at the office for the undrafted rookie, who the Niners leaned on to protect a wire-to-wire victory. Despite 3.9 YPC and a […]

Jalen Richard Goes Missing In Win Against The Steelers

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard finished with very little production in Sunday's win against the Steelers. The projected game script was set up nicely for Richard, as we should've seen the Raiders trailing, which means plenty of pass-catching opportunities. That wasn't the case, as we saw Richard finish with only one reception for five […]

Doug Martin Extends Touchdown Streak To Three Games

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to extend his touchdown streak to three games during Sunday's win against the Steelers. Martin had very limited production overall, with only 16 rushes for 32 carries, but was able to punch in the one touchdown. He has done a solid job filling in the starting role […]

Josh Adams Only Gets Seven Touches in Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams only ran the ball seven times on Sunday, gaining 36 yards. He did not record a catch on the afternoon. Adams averaged 5.1 yards per carry, but game script and a tough Cowboys defense kept him only tangentially involved in the offense. It was a bad week, but he's […]

Ezekiel Elliott Gets 40 Touches in Week 14

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 28 times for 114 yards, adding 12 catches for 79 more yards. Zeke didn't score a touchdown in this one, but he did more than enough to make his fantasy owners happy. His involvement in the passing game lately has pushed him solidly into top-three status.

Nyheim Hines Disappears In Week 14

A week after re-establishing some value, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines disappeared against the Houston Texans in Week 14. He finished the night with three carries for one yard to go with three catches for 16 yards. Hines looks like he'll have a role in the offense moving forward and in the future, but […]

Marlon Mack Scores A Touchdown In Week 14

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was on his way to another pedestrian day in Week 14. While he didn't put up any gaudy numbers, he finished with 14 carries for 33 yards with a touchdown to help salvage an inefficient day. Mack hasn't been highly effective in the past couple of months, and that […]

Damien Williams Scores Two Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams salvaged his fantasy value by scoring two touchdowns in the victory over the Ravens in Week 14. Williams rushed eight times for 14 yards and a touchdown with four receptions for 16 yards and a touchdown. Lead back Spencer Ware clearly outplayed Williams, but he lucked out with […]

Jamaal Williams Starts But Is Underwhelming

With Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin taking over head-coaching duties in Green Bay, many had hoped that the team’s bizarre fascination with running back Jamaal Williams would finally be laid to rest. The opposite seems to have happened, as Williams started in a Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Williams only had […]

Aaron Jones Rallies In Productive Outing

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 78 yards on 17 carries and added 28 yards receiving on three catches. His longest run of the night went for 29 yards and a touchdown. Jones managed to put together a solid performance despite not seeing a single carry in the first quarter. Running back […]

Mark Ingram Scores Fifth Rushing Touchdown In Victory

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram carried the ball 13 times for 52 yards, including his fifth rushing touchdown of the season, in the Saints 28-14 win over the Buccaneers. Ingram now has six total touchdowns on the season in his ninth game of the season. The Saints had to really work for this […]

Spencer Ware Does A Little of Everything

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware was able to have a successful fantasy day despite leaving Sunday's game shortly due to an injury. Ware rushed 15 times for 75 yards and caught five passes for 54 yards through the air. The Ravens kept getting pressure on Mahomes which forced him to flip the ball […]

Alvin Kamara Records 87 All-Purpose Yards In Win

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball 12 times for 51 yards and added 36 receiving yards in the Saints 28-14 win over the Buccaneers. Kamara once again provided a safety valve for quarterback Drew Brees to throw to as the Saints had to work to secure the lead in this game. […]

Rex Burkhead Manages Only Five Yards From Scrimmage

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead totaled only five yards from scrimmage in the Patriots Week 14 loss. Fantasy owners that hoped Burkhead might become a playable option were disappointed to see him muster only two rushing yards on four carries. Burkhead's legs are fresh coming off the injured reserve list but teammates Sony […]

Corey Clement Questionable To Return

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (knee) is questionable to return in Week 14 against the Cowboys after suffering an injury in the second quarter. Clement had only one carry for negative-four yards in the game before leaving, so he didn't help his fantasy owners at all. Darren Sproles will be more involved as a […]

Sony Michel Notches Only 2.8 Yards Per Carry In Week 14

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 20 times for 57 yards in the Patriots 34-33 loss to the Dolphins. Michel was charged with picking up the tough yards on drives but managed only 2.8 yards per carry. Michel is the unquestioned lead runner in the backfield but has to share time […]

James White Musters Only 28 Total Yards In Loss

New England Patriots running back James White carried the ball four times for only 13 yards and added 15 receiving yards in the Patriots 34-33 loss to the Dolphins. White's most ineffective performance comes at a bad time for fantasy owners trying to stay alive in the playoffs. It has been a fantastic season for […]

Christian McCaffrey Scores Two Touchdowns In Loss

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey scored two touchdowns in his team's loss to the Cleveland Browns. McCaffrey has been in great form this season, and continued that in this game, finishing with 63 yards and two touchdowns adding 38 yards on six receptions. McCaffrey will look to continue that form into his next game […]

Brandon Bolden Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Brandon Bolden got revenge on his former team in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Bolden rushed for 60 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns on his only two carries. He also caught one pass for zero yards. Bolden ripped off a 54-yarder and then took one in […]
