Justin Jackson Shines In Surprise Role

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson finally had the chance to see some action on Sunday, and he looked great. The seventh-round pick carried the ball seven times for 57 yards, racking up an incredible 8.1 YPC. The seven carries were more than he's tallied in the rest of the season combined, and […]

Austin Ekeler Hauls In 10 Passes

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was the team's most targeted receiver on Sunday as he brought in 10 passes for 68 yards. Ekeler also toted the ball five times for 35 yards and a touchdown, and he looks to be the new starter as Melvin Gordon is sidelined with an MCL injury. Ekeler […]

Peyton Barber Shows Signs of Life on Sunday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber found the end zone once again as he wrangled himself another decent fantasy outing. Barber rushed 18 times for 47 yards, caught two passes for 16 yards to go along with his touchdown, rewarding any brave owner who dared trek into starting him. Barber is an RB3 with minimal upside […]

Chase Edmonds Disappoints In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had almost no impact on the team's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Edmonds finished the day with five carries for zero yards. It is clear that Edmonds has no value as long as the majority of the touches on the team's offense go through fellow running back David […]

David Johnson Does What He Can In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson made the most of his limited opportunities in Week 12. The running back had 17 carries for 63 yards as well as two receptions for 16 yards through the air. Although his talent is undeniable, the Cardinals offense is seriously hindering the production of Johnson, making him a high-end […]

Corey Clement Gets Seven Touches in Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times on Sunday, gaining 45 yards. He added two catches for 31 yards. Starter Josh Adams missed some time with a shoulder injury, giving Clement a chance to work in the backfield. Adams has completely taken over the Eagles backfield, leaving Clement as a deep […]

Josh Adams Works as the Bell Cow in the Eagles Backfield

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams ran the ball 22 times for 84 yards in a Week 12 win against the Giants. He was only targeted once and could not come up with the catch. Adams was gradually getting more and more touches over the past few games, but he completely took over in Week […]

Dalvin Cook Utilized In Passing Game

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook tallied 76 all-purpose yards and a receiving touchdown during a 24-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. Cook showed off his explosiveness during his 26-yard touchdown reception. The sophomore back is a fantastic playmaker that is gaining a bigger role in the offense. Cook has put […]

Leonard Fournette Scores Twice, Gets Ejected

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 18 carries in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The second-year back added 13 receiving yards on three catches as well, but fantasy owners missed out on a chance for more from Fournette when he was ejected in the […]

Melvin Gordon Has MCL Injury

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) is dealing with an MCL injury after leaving the Week 12 win over the Cardinals in the third quarter, according to a source. Gordon will be re-evaluated on Monday, but there is a real possibility that he will miss next Sunday night's game against the Steelers. Gordon […]

James Conner Catches Four Passes

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner rushed 13 times for 53 yards and added four receptions for 42 yards in a Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. Conner was held out of the end zone for the second straight game on an afternoon where the Steelers passed the ball 56 times, leaving him as […]

Duke Johnson Struggles Again In Week 12

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson posted an underwhelming stat line versus the Bengals with just two carries for 16 yards as well as one reception for 23 yards. The efficiency was there for Johnson, but the volume was more than lacking. Fellow running back Nick Chubb has started to emerge as a rising star and […]

Royce Freeman Missing in Action

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman received just six carries Sunday - resulting in a less than impressive 17 yards. Fellow RB-mate Phillip Lindsay is running away with this job like he stole it which has relegated Freeman to a touchdown-dependent, last resort, flex option at this point. But, on the bright side, Freeman and […]

Nyheim Hines Shows Some Life In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a quiet breakout at the beginning of the season. He then went dormant before showing some signs of life in Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins. He finished with nine carries for 28 yards to go with two catches for 22 yards. These numbers weren't eye-popping, but it's […]

Marlon Mack Puts Up Modest Stat Line

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was looking to bounce back after a quiet few weeks. He was having a decent day before he left the game with a concussion, as he finished with 15 carries for 85 yards to go with two catches for 11 yards. Mack had multiple carries of 20-plus yards, which […]

Phillip Lindsay Continues Impressive Rookie Campaign

If not for Saquon Barkley, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay would easily be the favorite for Rookie Running Back of the Year (no that's not a thing). Lindsay continued his impressive rookie campaign by turning 14 carries into 110 yards and a TD against a Steelers defense which had held opposing RBs to a […]

Ty Montgomery Finally Makes Contribution

Baltimore Ravens running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery had a season-high 51 rushing yards on eight carries in Sunday's 34-17 victory over the Raiders. He added three receptions for 16 yards. It marked his first opportunity to make a real contribution for the Ravens as he totaled just five yards, which came on a lateral from […]

Marlon Mack Exits Week 12 With A Concussion

Late in the fourth quarter, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack exited the game against the Miami Dolphins with a concussion. Mack had been playing effectively as he was averaging over five yards per carry. He never re-entered the game, and his status will be something to monitor as the week progresses. Rookie running back […]

Kenyan Drake Scores Twice In Week 12

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was involved in the offense in Miami's 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. Drake rushed eight times for 32 yards and a touchdown, and also caught five passes for 64 yards and caught a touchdown. While he was slightly out-touched by Frank Gore 15-13, Drake out-gained Gore 96-77. […]

Frank Gore Totals 77 Yards In Week 12

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was heavily involved in their 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. Gore rushed 14 times for 67 yards and caught one pass for ten yards. He out-touched Kenyan Drake 15-13, but Drake put up more total yardage and scored a touchdown. Gore is Miami's between the tackles runner, […]

Jalen Richard Has Little Production In Road Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard had very little production in Sunday's loss against the Ravens. Richard is generally a favorable target for Derek Carr in the passing game and brings strong PPR value week in and week out. The case was a bit different today, as he ended with only two catches for 15 […]

Doug Martin Scores First Touchdown Of The Season

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to find the end zone for the first time this season in Sunday's loss against the Ravens. Martin ended with 11 rushes for 51 yards and the one touchdown. This now gives him five straight weeks where he has averaged over four yards per carry. Martin has […]

Nick Chubb Carries The Browns To Victory

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb picked up right where he left off from before the Browns bye week, as Chubb was all over the stat sheet in the Browns road win against the Bengals. He found the end zone twice against the Bengals, once on the ground and once via a Randy Moss-like catch. […]

Matt Breida Carries Niners Offense

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida collected 106 rushing yards on 14 carries while adding 34 yards on three receptions. Breida was the only bright spot in a very sluggish showing by the entire 49ers squad. Breida was repeatedly ripping sizable gains all day, with a long run of 33 yards. He was stuffed […]

James White Produces 78 Total Yards In Win

New England Patriots running back James White carried the ball nine times for 73 yards in the Patriots 27-13 win over the Jets. White ran efficiently, averaging 8.1 yards per carry and even ripped off a 27-yard run in the game. The surprise was White's ineffectiveness in the passing game, catching only one pass for […]

Sony Michel Explodes For 145 Total Yards, Two Touchdowns

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 21 times for 133 yards, adding 13 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots 27-13 win over the Jets. Michel was the engine that made the Patriots offense run, consistently gashing the Jets and averaging 6.1 yards per carry. The Patriots have committed to […]

Christian McCaffrey Goes Supernova In Loss Against Seahawks

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey put in a supernova performance in his team's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. McCaffrey will feel he could do no more to help his team win- even with the ball security issues he had in the game. McCaffrey finished the game with 125 yards and a touchdown on the […]

Saquon Barkley Delivers Two Touchdowns In Loss

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley carried the ball 13 times for 101 yards with seven receptions for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Week 12. Barkley got the Giants on the board early, catching a pass from quarterback Eli Manning for a 13-yard touchdown reception. The rookie then flashed his elite play-making ability, […]

Leonard Fournette Ejected Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was ejected from the game against the Bills in Week 12 in the third quarter. Fournette got into a tussle with Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson after a Jaguars touchdown. The good news for Fournette's owners is that he had 18 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns before […]

Melvin Gordon Will Play Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring, knee), who is questionable for Week 12 against the Cardinals, will play on Sunday. Gordon has had exactly 18 carries in each of the last two weeks, but he disappointed on the ground with only 69 yards rushing in the loss to Denver last week. In an […]
