James Conner Struggles Against Jacksonville

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner struggled in his team's 20-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Conner carried the ball nine times for 25 yards while adding six receptions for 24 yards. The second-year runner continually ran into a stout Jacksonville defensive line and lost looks in the second half when the […]

Royce Freeman Misses Zero Beats

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman rushed seven times Sunday - picking up 23 yards and a touchdown in his first game back from the sprained ankle which forced him to miss the Broncos last two games. Freeman has now found the endzone in five of his last seven appearances, and his touchdown potential keeps […]

Alvin Kamara Racks Up 108 Yards From Scrimmage

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball 13 times for 71 yards and added a 37-yard catch for a touchdown in the Saints 48-7 win over the Eagles. Kamara once again flashed his elite athleticism but it was teammate Mark Ingram that stole the show from the backfield. It wasn't a Saints […]

Phillip Lindsay Carries the Broncos to a W

The Denver Broncos scored three touchdowns against the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday. Running back Phillip Lindsay was responsible for two of them.

Mark Ingram Punches In Two Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram carried the ball 16 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints 48-7 beat down of the Eagles. Ingram got off to a great start by ripping off a 38-yard run on the first drive. He continued to run hard throughout the game and led the […]

Jalen Richard Does A Bit Of Everything In Win Versus Cardinals

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard was able to contribute in both the rushing game and passing game during Sunday's win against the Cardinals. Richard posted 11 rushing attempts for 61 yards on the ground with three receptions for 32 yards in the passing game. Those 61 yards on the ground led the team, as […]

Doug Martin Solid In First Half, Sat Out Second Half

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin posted solid numbers in the first half but didn't play at all in the second half during Sunday's win against the Cardinals. Martin had 10 rushes for 52 yards, which now makes the fourth week in a row he has averaged over four yards per carry. Martin sat out […]

Adrian Peterson Scores Two Touchdowns Against Texans

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson found himself with a fantasy-relevant workload on Sunday despite the team facing a deficit early on. It was a rare instance for Peterson, as we've seen the Redskins bid farewell to the rushing attack in games like this earlier in the season. He converted his 16 carries into a […]

Chase Edmonds Disappoints In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had five carries for 17 yards in the team's loss to the Oakland Raiders. Edmonds is firmly behind fellow running back David Johnson on the team's depth chart, and it showed as the latter out-snapped the former by a significant amount. Edmonds should not be rostered outside of the […]

David Johnson Plays Well In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had a good performance in his team's loss to the Raiders. Johnson had 25 carries for 137 yards as well as one reception for 17 yards on three targets. The offense revolves around the star running back, and negative game scripts are the only thing stopping Johnson from being […]

Gus Edwards Tops 100-yard Mark, Scores Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards racked up a season-high 115 rushing yards along with a touchdown as well as a two-point conversion on 17 attempts. It was the undrafted rookie's first 100-yard game of his career. He ran well producing nine runs of at least five yards, including four rushes of 10 or more […]

Theo Riddick Hauls In Five Passes On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick saw seven targets, hauling in five of them for 30 yards in the 20-19 win over Carolina on Sunday. Riddick also received one carry but it went for no gain. The 27-year-old saw at least seven targets for the third straight game since returning from injury in Week 9. […]

LeGarrette Blount Useless Against Panthers

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount gained just one yard on seven attempts in Sunday's 20-19 win over the Panthers. Not only did Kerryon Johnson highlight the running game for Detroit, but Blount couldn't even make anything happen when Johnson left the game with a knee injury. However, the thought that Detroit plays on Thursday […]

Kerryon Johnson Scores, Leaves Game With Knee Injury

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Panthers and was unable return. However, before his departure, he had a solid showing, rushing for 87 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. He also caught two passes for 10 yards. The statistical output is great to see, especially […]

Alex Collins Reaches End Zone Yet Again

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins was held to 18 rushing yards and a touchdown on seven carries in a 24-21 win over the Bengals. Collins, as usual, started the game but he got most of his work out of the way on the Ravens' opening possession. On his third carry of the series, after […]

Ito Smith Disappoints Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had a disappointing day Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Smith carried the ball six times for 10 yards and added two receptions for 12 yards. The positive is that Smith did see carries around the red zone however he was unable to make them count. There is not really […]

Tevin Coleman Effective But Under Whelming Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a frustrating day for his fantasy owners on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Coleman averaged over seven yards per carry with a longest run of 17 yards. However, he carried the ball just eight times, and was therefore only able to put up 58 yards rushing. He managed […]

Saquon Barkley Dominates With Three Touchdowns

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley carried the ball 27 times for 142 yards, including three touchdowns, in the Giants 38-35 win over the Buccaneers. A dormant Giants offense came to life against a porous Tampa defense as Barkley got the Giants on the board right off the bat with a six-yard touchdown catch. […]

Kerryon Johnson Exits With Knee Injury

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson is questionable to return to Week 11's meeting with the Panthers with a knee injury. LeGarrette Blount should see an uptick in carries if Johnson can't return, but if the injury is serious and forces Johnson to miss time it would be a devastating blow to a very good […]
