Aaron Jones Unproductive In Return

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (suspension) made his return on Sunday after missing the first two weeks. However, Jones wasn't able to get anything going, finishing for only 42 rushing yards off of six carries in the loss to the Redskins. He will likely have some productive outings moving forward, but he can't […]

Ty Montgomery Productive Against 'Skins

Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery played relatively well in the Week 3 loss to the Washington Redkins. In typical fashion, Montgomery showcased his diverse playmaking abilities, finishing the day with six receptions for 48 yards in addition to rushing four times for 16 yards. The quasi-receiver has had sporadic production throughout the first […]

Jalen Richard Sees Work In The Passing Game

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard had another solid outing in the passing game, even as the Raiders were leading for most of the game. Richard finished with six catches for 59 yards and is showing to be the clear change of pace back for the Raiders. This is the second time this season Richard […]

Doug Martin Effective Again In Limited Play

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin put up good numbers, despite only seeing limited playing time. Martin finished with nine rushes for 43 yards, which is good for 4.8 yards per carry. This is the second time in three games this season he has finished with over four yards per carry, but still hasn't found […]

Marshawn Lynch Has Another Touchdown

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch added another touchdown in their loss versus the Dolphins this Sunday. This makes three straight games for Lynch with a touchdown, providing some consistent fantasy value as an RB 2. He ended with 64 yards on 19 attempts, along with adding three receptions for 22 yards. The Raiders may […]

Theo Riddick Catches Three Passes Against Patriots

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick caught all three of his targets, for 36 yards, in the Lions 26-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday. Detroit played a game of keep away against the Patriots, which negatively affected the way Riddick was used. Aside from the occasional carry, Riddick is still slotted in as the […]

LeGarrette Blount Quiet in Week 3

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount rushed for just 48 yards on 16 carries and caught two passes for 17 yards in the Lions 26-10 win over the Patriots. Blount split carries evenly with Kerryon Johnson; however, Johnson finished with 101 yards. It's quite clear now that Johnson is the Lions best back, but the […]

Kerryon Johnson Hits Century Mark Against Patriots

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson became the first Lions player to rush for 100 yards or more in a game since 2013. The rookie tallied 101 yards on 16 carries and also hauled in two of three targets for nine yards. Despite not scoring, this was Johnson's biggest workload of the season so far […]

Rex Burkhead Leaves Game With Neck Injury

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead finished the Patriots Week 3 loss in the locker room with a neck injury. Burkhead has been battling a concussion recently and the fact that doctors were examining his neck cannot be a good sign. Burkhead caught two passes for 26 yards in the game and his status […]

Sony Michel Leads Patriots In Rushing Yards

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards in the Patriots loss to the Lions in Week 3. In a game where the Patriots offense was shut down by the Lions, the rookie flashed his potential at times during the game. He didn't break off any long runs […]

James White Catches Touchdown In Loss

New England Patriots running back James White caught three passes for 14 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown catch, in the Patriots 26-10 loss to the Lions. White added 37 rushing yards on only four carries but two of those rushes were huge gains that came in garbage time. White continues to be a stabilizing presence […]

Ezekiel Elliott Works as the Cowboys Offense in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 16 times for 127 yards, adding three catches for 11 more yards in Week 3. Elliott was targeted eight times in the passing game but only came up with three grabs. Still, his fantasy owners were happy with the 127 yards, especially with how much the […]

Wendell Smallwood Makes the Most of His Week 3 Chances

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood made the most of his chance on Sunday, running the ball 10 times for 56 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 35 more yards. Smallwood was given the "start" but ended up with fewer touches than Corey Clement. Smallwood could draw some fantasy attention if Darren Sproles […]

Corey Clement Doesn't Do Much With His 19 Touches

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement disappointed a bit in Week 3, running the ball 16 times for 56 yards and adding three catches for 19 more yards. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Jay Ajayi (back) out, Clement was expected to have a big game, but he ceded several carries (and a touchdown) to usually-special-teams-only […]

Tarik Cohen Adds 68 Total Yards Against Cardinals

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen carried the ball five times for 53 yards and added three catches for 15 yards against the Cardinals. Cohen was again utilized early to throw the defense off balance and came up with some strong gains in the first half. The Bears offensive attack hasn't unleashed Cohen in space […]

Jordan Howard Shines In Bears Win

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard racked up 81 yards from scrimmage, including a rushing touchdown, in the Bears 16-14 win over the Cardinals. The numbers aren't eye-popping but when the game was on the line Howard came up with some tough yards. What has been most impressive thus far has been Howard's ability to […]

Saquon Barkley Racks Up 117 Total Yards, One Touchdown

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley totaled 117 yards from scrimmage, including a 15-yard rushing touchdown, in the Giants 27-22 win over the Texans. Barkley got the Giants on the board with his second touchdown of the season in the first quarter. The rookie has shown a fantastic ability for game-breaking plays and has […]

Todd Gurley Continues Strong Season

After an inefficient but high-scoring Week 2, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley had an excellent Week 3. He finished with 105 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries on the ground, while he added five catches for 51 yards. Gurley remains an elite option in all formats, and he is proving to be […]

Alvin Kamara Totals 190 Yards In Week 3

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had 16 rushes for 66 yards and 15 receptions for 124 yards in the Saints Week 3 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Kamara continues to prove that he is an elite and dynamic player -- there are no signs that his production will slow down. Kamara's big-play potential […]

Dion Lewis Held To 40 Yards In Week 3

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was held in check in the Week 3 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, rushing nine times for 26 yards and adding 14 yards on three receptions. Lewis never had much room to operate against the stacked boxes of the Jaguars defense, but it is unlikely to get much easier […]

Derrick Henry Held In Check In Week 3

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was held in check against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3, rushing 18 times for 57 yards. The Titans turned to Henry late in the fourth quarter as they attempted to grind the clock. Despite his lack of production, Henry was a much bigger part of the offense this […]

Chase Edmonds Struggles As Backup To David Johnson

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Chase Edmonds struggled in the team's loss to the Bears on Sunday with five carries for a total of 10 yards on the ground. Edmonds failed to register a catch in the contest and looks to be firmly entrenched as the backup running back in a poor offense. Edmonds should […]

David Johnson Scores In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson struggled mightily on the ground with 12 carries for 31 yards, but he was able to find the end zone through the air in the team's 16-14 loss to the Bears. Johnson had four catches for 30 yards through the air. Even though the veteran playmaker was able to […]

Chris Thompson A Non-Factor In Week 3

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson carried the ball six times for just 17 yards and caught just one of his two targets in Sunday's triumph over the Packers. It was a puzzling outing for Thompson, who is usually one of Alex Smith's primary options in the passing game. Washington's early lead was probably the […]

Royce Freeman Finds the End Zone for the Second Straight Week

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman got the Broncos on the board with a six-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter against the Ravens, finishing the day with 13 carries, 53 yards, one TD and adding a catch for five yards. Given Phillip Lindsay's second-quarter ejection, Freeman's line is a bit of a disappointment […]

Giovani Bernard Rushes For A Touchdown In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard did his best to fill in for injured running back Joe Mixon (knee) in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Bernard rushed the ball 12 times, scoring a touchdown while maintaining an efficient 5.1 yards per carry throughout the contest. As usual, he was also targeted in the passing game, […]

T.J. Yeldon The Bright Spot For Jaguars Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon was one of the only bright spots for fantasy owners in the Jaguars Week 3 loss to the Titans. Yeldon carried the ball seven times for 44 yards while also leading the team in receptions and receiving yards, catching six passes for 46 yards. Yeldon's fantasy value is wrapped […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 12 Yards In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore rushed six times for 12 yards in the Dolphins' 28-20 win over the Raiders in Week 3. Gore was largely ineffective on the ground and gained half of his yardage total in one rush. The good news for Gore was that Kenyan Drake was somehow worse, rushing for three […]

Nyheim Hines Limited On Wet Day In Philadelphia

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines figured to see an increased workload with veteran Marlon Mack (hamstring, foot) out. However, due to struggles by the offense and bad weather, Hines didn't quite reach his ceiling in PPR formats. Hines' speed gives him some big-play ability, but he just didn't have that this week, as […]

Kenyan Drake Musters Just 10 Total Yards In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake only tallied 10 total yards in the Dolphins' 28-20 win over the Raiders in Week 3. He rushed five times for three yards and caught two passes for seven yards. Drake could not get anything going and was out-carried 6-5 by Frank Gore. Gore didn't perform much better, gaining […]
