Christian McCaffrey Disappoints In Loss To Redskins

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey coming into this game looked like a great play for fantasy owners, especially in PPR leagues. However, the Redskins were able to pin him to his lowest output this season. McCaffrey finished the game with only 20 rushing yards from eight attempts, and wasn't able to get too much […]

T.J. Yeldon Doesn't See Much Usage Against Cowboys

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon wasn't much of a factor in the Jaguars 40-7 loss to Dallas on Sunday, carrying the ball just eight times for 41 yards while catching three passes for 29 yards. With Jacksonville going down early, the team wasn't able to get their rushing attack going. Yeldon will look to […]

Chris Thompson Day-To-Day

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) is considered day-to-day, but it's unknown what his practice workload will be like early in the week. Thompson missed the Week 6 win over the Panthers, but the 'Skins could surely use him back with wideout Jamison Crowder looking unlikely to play for the second straight game. […]

Browns Want To Get Nick Chubb More Involved

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson once again said "we do need to get Nick Chubb more carries" after the Week 6 loss to the Chargers in which Chubb had just three carries for 25 yards (8.3 yards per carry). The rookie has had exactly three carries in each of the last three weeks, but […]

D'Onta Foreman Unlikely To Return This Week

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said it's unlikely that the team activates running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) this week. With Lamar Miller underwhelming in the backfield after his 98-yard performance in the season opener, Foreman could have an opening to steal a lot of touches in the second half of the season if he […]

Matt Breida Lobbying To Play Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) is lobbying to play Monday night against the Green Bay Packers. Breida appeared truly questionable after only practicing on a limited basis once this week but he appears eager to take the field.

Saints Expect A More Balanced Running Attack

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton expects the team's rushing attack to be more balanced moving forward now that running back Mark Ingram is back in the picture.

Royce Freeman Held in Check Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman contributed 22 yards on nine carries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Rams. He was not targeted in the passing game.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though potential owners have consistently demonstrated a thorough lack of enthusiasm for including Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore on their rosters, his outstanding Week 6 performance should eviscerate any lingering concerns.

Jalen Richard Leads Team in Receiving

Oakland Raiders Running back Jalen Richard might've been the only bright spot for the team in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Richard ended the day with seven receptions for 48 yards, both of which were team highs. The offense was highly ineffective for the whole game, but he was able to provide enough for his […]

Doug Martin Useless In Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin failed to make an impact yet again in this Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The trip across the pond didn't turn out to be a good one for the Raiders and Martin couldn't do much. He finished with only one catch for eight yards and no touchdowns. Martin has […]

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller continued a string of mediocre outings, carrying the ball 15 times for 46 yards against the Bills on Sunday and adding 25 receiving yards on a pair of receptions. While it wasn't a bad fantasy day for Miller, his performance didn't do much to quiet concerns about his usage […]

Carlos Hyde Slowed By Chargers

Hyde carried the ball 14 times for 34 yards without drawing a target in the passing game in a 38-14 loss. While Hyde got off to a fast start this season, Sunday's performance serves as a […]

Ronald Leary Could Have Torn Achilles

Denver Broncos left guard Ronald Leary (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 6 loss to the Rams, according to a source. It would be a big blow to an offensive line that is nothing special in front of a very mediocre Case Keenum under center. Expect Max Garcia to […]
