Tevin Coleman Has Terrible Outing Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a terrible performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Coleman carried the ball six times for just eight yards, and added just one reception for three yards on three targets. Coleman has struggled a lot this season in the lead back role and this was another prime example […]

Austin Ekeler Underperforms In Starting Role

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler got another chance to be the main man on Sunday night against the Steelers, but he was underwhelming as the starter once again. Ekeler has been fantastic as the change-of-pace back when Melvin Gordon is active, but with Gordon sidelined with a knee injury, Ekeler looked terrible in […]

Falcons Still Have Faith In Dan Quinn

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank hasn't "lost any faith" in head coach Dan Quinn or general manager Thomas Dimitroff after another loss to the Ravens in Week 13. Atlanta is currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC South and well out of playoff contention. Their defense suffered multiple key injuries to their defensive […]

James Conner's Injury Not Considered Serious

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (leg) right lower leg injury is not considered to be serious, and he's believed to be dealing with a lower leg contusion. It seems like Conner will be OK to play in Week 14 in an excellent matchup against the Raiders, but we'll have to see how much he […]

Dion Lewis Disappoints in Week 13 Victory Over Jets

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis had a tough day in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans victory over the New York Jets. In all truth, he's had a tough four weeks. In this matchup, Lewis had two receptions for negative-two yards, 36 rushing yards and zero touchdowns. Derrick Henry stepped in this game in […]

Isaiah Crowell is Bright Spot in Loss

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell was the lone bright spot for the Jets offense in the 26-22 loss to the Titans. Crowell rushed 21 times for 98 yards and caught four passes for nine yards. Crowell has been basically the only thing the Jets have going for them on offense right now. Maybe things […]

Derrick Henry Shows Up Against Jets

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has not been what fantasy owners would hope for this season, but when he gets into the end zone, it can numb the pain. Henry did just that this week in the Titans 26-22 victory over the Jets. Henry threw up a mildly decent stat line with 40 yards […]

Giovani Bernard Gets Some Looks On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard was targeted eight times against the Broncos, finishing things up with six receptions for 32 yards. Though he wasn't able to find the end zone, he did and will continue to have fantasy appeal in PPR formats as he will have his number called moving forward for dump passes […]

Joe Mixon Does Next To Nothing Against Denver

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon couldn't get it going against the Broncos on Sunday, finishing the day with only 82 yards on 12 attempts in addition to 13 yards on two receptions. It was the fourth week in a row that the sophomore wasn't able to eclipse the 100-yard mark and the second in […]

Spencer Ware Scores TD in First Start of the Season

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware saw his first start this season following the dismissal of Kareem Hunt. Ware rushed 14 times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown in the 40-33 victory over Oakland. It appears the Chiefs are going to lean on Ware to be their featured back the rest of the […]

Jeffery Wilson Bursts Onto Scene

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Jeffery Wilson handled 15 carries for 61 yards while contributing eight catches for 73 yards in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. He also lost one fumble. Promoted from the practice squad in Week 12, Wilson dominated the Niners backfield in touches with running back Matt Breida (ankle) aggravating […]

Leaving the Pack Behind

R-E-L-A-X was the soundbite from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2014 when the Packers started badly in their season, but in Green Bay now he has to be thinking that was a warm distant memory. Since that season there has been a huge amount of upheaval, and that is reflected in the fantasy output of Green […]

Rashaad Penny Runs Wild

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny got the chance to show his skills against San Francisco, and he made good on the opportunity. With starter Chris Carson exiting early due to a finger injury, Penny carried the ball seven times for 65 yards and a touchdown. While the 49ers defense isn’t very good against the […]

Peyton Barber Finds End Zone Sunday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was serviceable Sunday against Carolina. With 45 yards and a touchdown, Barber had himself a low-end RB2 day. The only issue was his fumble at the goal-line. Barber was a sit for me this week but ended up being productive-ish. Barber is just so hard to trust but with the […]

Dede Westbrook Held In Check By Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught three passes for 25 yards in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. It was the seventh game in a row where Westbrook failed to hit the 50-yard mark, and with a new quarterback under center and the team's likely devotion to the run game with Leonard Fournette returning […]

T.J. Yeldon Records Seven Catches In Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon caught seven passes for 49 yards in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. He added 16 rushing yards on eight carries as well. Yeldon's role as the pass-catching back shouldn't change much with Leonard Fournette (suspension) back next week, and he remains an intriguing but ultimately low-ceiling PPR option.

Carlos Hyde Rushes For 36 Yards Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde rushed for 36 yards on 13 carries in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. He added one yard on one catch as well. Hyde was ineffective in the game and will head back to his normal bench role in Week 14 with the return of Leonard Fournette from suspension. […]

James Conner Limps Off Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (leg) was injured in the fourth quarter of the Sunday night game against the Chargers and limped off with trainers. Conner was injured on a screen play in which the defender rolled up on his leg. It could be the dreaded high ankle sprain, but we'll have to wait […]

Duke Johnson Sees Two Touches In Loss

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson caught two passes for 12 yards in a 29-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Johnson's usage in this one is a bit baffling as the Browns were trailing by a lot for much of the game. While the game script set up well for a pass-catching […]

Nick Chubb Scores, Racks Up 41 Receiving Yards

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball nine times for 31 yards and a touchdown in his team's 29-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. He also chipped in three catches for 41 yards in the losing effort. Chubb continues to be extremely productive in his rookie year, having found the […]

Latavius Murray Has Minimal Impact

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray has seen his role steadily decrease as Dalvin Cook has gotten healthier, and this week represented another step back for him in the loss to the Patriots. He rushed four times for just 11 yards and reeled in 2-of-3 targets for three yards. Cook is the more talented and […]

Jalen Richard Totals Over 100 Yards In Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard was able to pile up over 100 yards in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Richard added 95 yards in the rushing game on just six carries, along with three receptions for 31 yards in the passing game. Despite seeing all this work in the offense, Richard has yet to […]

Doug Martin Scores A Touchdown For Second Straight Week

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to reach the end zone for the second straight week, but it came in a losing effort to the Chiefs. Martin carried the ball a team-high 18 times for 61 yards while adding two receptions in the passing game. Martin has done a solid job in the […]

Dalvin Cook Productive in Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed for 84 yards on nine carries (9.3 yards per carry) in Week 13's loss to the New England Patriots. He also caught 8-of-10 targets for 22 yards, with the eight catches representing a new career-high for the second-year back. Cook showed off his quick burst and playmaking ability […]

Kenneth Dixon Racks Up 43 Total Yards In Return

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon rushed for 37 yards on eight attempts and added one reception for six yards in Sunday's victory over the Falcons. The 24-year-old ran well as he tallied the longest run of the day, among the three Ravens' running backs that attempted a carry, which was 13 yards. His 4.6 […]

Chiefs Likely To Sign C.J. Anderson

The Kansas City Chiefs will bring free-agent running back C.J. Anderson in for a workout on Monday and are likely to sign him if he passes a physical, according to a league source. Anderson spent five years with Denver in the AFC West before being released by Carolina this year after only nine games. Spencer […]

Chris Carson Suffers Dislocated Finger

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (finger) suffered a dislocated finger in the Week 13 win over the 49ers, but Carroll said Carson "should be OK." The good news is that Carson has an extra day to recover, with the team playing the Vikings in Week 14 on Monday […]

Chase Edmonds Scores Twice In Week 13

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had a terrific day from a fantasy perspective in the team's Week 13 victory over the Packers. Edmonds had five carries for 53 yards and two touchdowns as well as two receptions for 13 yards. Although it is unlikely that Edmonds repeats his performance from this week, he should […]

David Johnson Is Mediocre In Week 13

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had a mediocre Week 13 performance against the Packers. Johnson had 20 carries for 69 yards as well as one reception for three yards in a game that saw rookie Chase Edmonds make a splash in the ground game. Johnson is still an RB2 going forward, but it looks […]

Matt Breida Aggravates Ankle Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) handled just eight touches in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. Breida recorded six yards on five carries and 51 yards on three receptions as he watched rookie Jeffery Wilson tally 23 touches for 134 yards. Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated after the game Breida aggravated […]
