Leonard Fournette Looks Great In Return

It's been a rough year for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, who has dealt with hamstring issues off and on and played in just two games before Jacksonville's bye week. But Fournette was back on the field against the Colts in Week 10, and it was like he'd never been gone at all. The second-year […]

LeSean McCoy Has His Best Performance of 2018

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy had his best performance of the season on Sunday against the New York Jets. As we thought, McCoy saw an increase in usage with Matt Barkley behind center. The veteran ran the ball a season-high 26 times for 113 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught his one target […]

Dion Lewis Held Out Of End Zone In Week 10

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis picked up 57 yards on 20 carries and hauled in two receptions for 11 yards during a blowout win over the New England Patriots in Week 10. Lewis heavily out-snapped Derrick Henry in this one, but the latter managed to finesse two touchdowns. Lewis is clearly the preferred option […]

Derrick Henry Picks Up Two Touchdowns In Week 10

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry picked up 58 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries during a Week 10 blowout of the New England Patriots. He was heavily out-snapped by Dion Lewis in this contest but managed to find the end-zone on multiple drives. Henry has no role in the passing game. Most of […]

Week 10 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

For some, it's birth. Other's may come in the form of an experience. There are even those few (my aunt) who fall in that weird, I just like their colors category. But, every sports fan has that defining moment which determines "their team". Mine came January 27, 1991 - the infamous Scott Norwood, "wide right" […]

Joe Mixon Unproductive In Week 10

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was a non-factor during Sunday's blowout loss to the Saints. Mixon carried the ball only 11 times on the day, finishing things up with 61 yards in addition to two receptions for 24 yards. After rushing for two scores against Tampa Bay prior to the team's Week 9 bye, […]

Jacquizz Rodgers Goes Over 100 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Jacquizz Rodgers was oddly reliable in the Bucs 16-3 loss to the Redskins. Rodgers rushed only once for no gain, but caught eight passes for 102 yards. He saw a team-high eight targets as the third down back behind Peyton Barber. Rodgers did fumble once which ended up hurting the […]

Peyton Barber Finds Little Room to Run in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was not able to get much going on the ground against the Redskins in Week 10. Barber rushed 13 times for 61 yards, but failed to find the end zone. Barber had a few nice runs for 10 or more yards, but basically did nothing after that. Fantasy […]

Wendell Smallwood Gets Just Five Touches in Week 10

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood ran the ball just twice on Sunday night, gaining only four yards. He did add three catches for 30 yards. Smallwood was clearly working behind rookie Josh Adams, who seemed to take over the Eagles backfield in this one. Smallwood will serve as a depth piece going forward, and […]

Corey Clement Totals Just Eight Yards in Week 10

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times for 13 yards on Sunday night, also catching a pass but losing five yards in the process. Rookie running back Josh Adams seemed to take over the Eagles backfield in this one, leaving Clement and Wendell Smallwood working behind him. Clement has the talent […]

Josh Adams Leads the Eagles Backfield in Week 10

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Josh Adams led the Eagles backfield in carries and yards on Sunday night. He ran the ball seven times, gaining 47 yards. There had been signs in recent games that Adams would start getting more run, but he outperformed the rest of the Eagles backs by a significant margin. Corey […]

Kareem Hunt is Slowed Down By Cardinals

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was held out of the end zone for the first time since Week 1. He rushed 16 times for 71 yards and caught two passes for 25 yards. Hunt likely would've scored, but backup running back Spencer Ware vultured Hunt's best scoring chance. Hunt did fairly well, but […]

Ezekiel Elliott Runs All Over the Eagles in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had an excellent game on Sunday night, running the ball 19 times for 151 yards and a touchdown. He added six catches for 36 yards and another touchdown. As it has been a lot this season, it was the "Zeke" show on Sunday Night Football, as the rest of […]

Duke Johnson Scores In Week 10

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson found the end zone for the second straight week as his team downed the Atlanta Falcons 28-16 in Week 10. The veteran runner finished with three carries for 15 yards while adding four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. Johnson's score came on an 11-yard pass in the […]

Nick Chubb Rips Falcons For Two Scores

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb turned in a dominant performance in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. Chubb finished with 20 carries for 176 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 33 yards and another score. The rookie runner also set a team record for longest carry when he took a handoff […]

Jamaal Williams Workload Shrinks Further

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams saw his role diminish even further in Week 10. He had only three carries for three yards against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. Williams started the year as Green Bay’s starting running back. It became clear early that Williams is more of a bruiser who relies on […]

Jalen Richard Leads Team In Receptions Against Chargers

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard posts another solid stat line, showing why he might be the only member of the Raiders offense who has fantasy value left this season. Richard ended with five catches for 52 yards on six targets but didn't find the end zone. With the game script set to have the […]

Doug Martin Plays Well, Not Enough To Help Offense

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin posted a solid stat line in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Martin ended with 15 carries for 61 yards, which is good for 4.1 yards per carry. This now makes three straight games where Martin is averaging over four yards per carry, showing he is replacing the injured Marshawn […]

Austin Ekeler A Non-Factor Versus Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler carried the ball three times against the Raiders on Sunday for 19 yards. He saw zero targets in the passing game. Sunday marked Ekeler's lowest level of involvement in the offense all season. With how overwhelmingly effective Melvin Gordon has been in all aspects of the game, it's […]

Melvin Gordon Goes Off Against Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon racked up 165 yards on 23 total touches in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Raiders. He solidified an elite fantasy outing with a 66-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. In a league stacked to the gills with excellent production from the running back position, Gordon finds himself […]

Todd Gurley Extends His Touchdown Streak

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley continued his onslaught on the NFL this week with 16 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown to go along with three catches for 40 yards. Gurley is the NFL's best running back right now, and he wore the defense down over the course of the game. With […]

Aaron Jones Breaks Out In Week 10

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 145 yards on 15 carries with two touchdowns in a Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. He added three catches for 27 yards on five targets.

Kenyan Drake Plays Second Fiddle In Week 10

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake took a backseat in Miami's 31-12 loss to Green Bay in Week 10. Drake rushed eight times for 27 yards and caught two passes for 11 yards. He was out-touched by Frank Gore 15-10 and out-gained 102-38. Drake has been a major disappointment this season after a huge finish […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 90 Yards In Week 10

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was one of the few bright spots on offense for the team in their 31-12 loss to Green Bay in Week 10. Gore racked up 90 yards on 13 carries, including a 39-yard scamper. He also caught two passes for 12 yards. Gore out-touched Kenyan Drake 15-10 and out-gained […]

Pedestrian Day For Adrian Peterson

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 19 times for 68 yards in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. The lack of an end zone visit means Peterson's fantasy investors were looking elsewhere in their lineups for outstanding production, but the important thing to remember is that his value is based entirely on volume, […]

Chase Edmonds Disappoints In Week 10

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds did not get involved in a major way in the team's loss to the Chiefs in Week 10. The rookie running back had two carries for seven yards on the night and clearly ceded most of the work out of the backfield to fellow tailback David Johnson. Edmonds has […]

David Johnson Puts In Vintage Performance In Week 10

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had a fantastic game in Week 10, despite his team losing to the Chiefs. Johnson had 21 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown on the ground as well as seven receptions on nine targets for 85 yards and another score through the air. The offense is revolving around […]

LeGarrette Blount Non-Existent Against Bears

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount took six carries for just four yards in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears. The 31-year-old has rushed for just 15 yards over his last three games combined. Blount continues to fall victim to game script as the Lions have trailed in each of the last three contests. He […]

Theo Riddick Catches Six Passes On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick caught six of his seven targets for 60 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bears. Riddick was tied for the team lead in receptions and second on the team in targets. This marks the second straight week that he had six or more receptions. The Lions continue to get […]

Eric Ebron Dominates Jacksonville in Week 10 Win

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron caught all three of his targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-26 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. He also added one carry for two yards and a rushing touchdown. Ebron continues to be the go-to red zone target for quarterback Andrew Luck even […]
