Jalen Richard Continues Role In Passing Game

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard added a modest amount of production in Sunday's win against the Browns. Richard had three catches for 38 yards and no touchdown but made a vital catch in overtime.

Doug Martin Has Limited Role In Win

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin had little to no production in Sunday's win versus the Browns. Martin only had five carries for 11 yards and no touchdowns.

LeGarrette Blount Non-Existent Against Cowboys

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount rushed for 12 yards on seven carries in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Blount is still getting opportunities in the offense, especially on short-yardage situations, but he is as touchdown dependent as it gets. He remains not worthy of a fantasy roster spot.

Kerryon Johnson Scores Against Cowboys

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson saved his fantasy day by scoring a touchdown early in the fourth quarter of a 26-24 loss to the Cowboys. He finished with 55 yards on just nine carries. He also hauled in his only target for a one-yard gain. Detroit held the lead for a good portion of […]

Mike Gillislee Limited In Week 4

Alfred Morris A Nonfactor In Week 4

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris gained 14 yards on four carries while securing 1-of-3 targets for four yards in Week 4’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Niners gained only 76 yards on the ground so there wasn’t much opportunity for Morris as quarterback C.J. Beathard aired it out most of the […]

Dion Lewis Catches Nine Passes In Week 4

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis caught all nine of his targets for 66 yards in the Week 4 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jordan Howard Misses Out On The Fun In Week 4 Win

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 11 times for 25 yards in the Bears blowout win over the Buccaneers 48-10.

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen delivered 174 yards from scrimmage, including one receiving touchdown in the Bears 48-10 win over the Buccaneers.

Jordan Wilkins Terrible In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins was the starter in Week 4 with veteran Marlon Mack (hamstring) out. He did not seize his opportunity with a very underwhelming day.

Jay Ajayi Comes Back Strong in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi led the Eagles backfield in Week 4, running the ball 15 times for 70 yards and catching three passes for 11 more yards.

Matt Breida, Alfred Morris Active For Week 4
