Rachaad White Excellent As A Receiver

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was heavily involved in the offense during Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old continued to be the workhorse back in this one. He rushed 15 times for 31 yards as White couldn't get anything going on the ground. Luckily, White was able to salvage […]

Ezekiel Elliott Scores A Touchdown In His Cowboys Return

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott led the Cowboys backfield in a Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. "Zeke" ran the ball 10 times, gaining 40 yards and scoring a touchdown. He added nine yards on two receptions, catching both of his targets. It was a mostly even split in the backfield between Elliott […]

Austin Ekeler Deployed As Pass-Catcher, Leads Team In Receptions

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler did not see a heavy workload on the ground but caught a team-high four receptions in the season opener. Ekeler shared the spotlight with Brian Robinson Jr. throughout the preseason but saw only two carries Sunday afternoon in Tampa Bay. However, he made up for that disappointing workload through […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Leads Washington Backfield On Sunday

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. led the Commanders backfield in rushing with 40 yards and a score. He added 49 yards on three receptions. Entering the season, many expected the Commanders to deploy a committee approach, but Robinson was the clear workhorse running back in the season opener. Austin Ekeler saw just two […]

Jerome Ford Scores Late TD In Week 1 Loss

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball 12 times for 44 yards and a touchdown while adding six catches for 25 yards in a 33-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1. Ford's final stat line will be useful in fantasy, but the third-year back benefitted greatly from garbage time. Most of […]

James Cook Totals Over 100 Yards In Week 1

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed for 71 yards on 19 attempts while adding 32 yards on three catches in the team's Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Cook dominated the running back touches (22), compared to four for rookie Ray Davis and two for Ty Johnson. Unfortunately, as was the story often […]

Devin Singletary Manages 52 Total Yards In Week 1

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a quiet day in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, managing just 37 rushing yards on the ground and 15 receiving yards through four catches. Despite getting involved in the passing game, Singletary failed to find the end zone and was ultimately held in check by […]

J.K. Dobbins Explodes In His Chargers Debut

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins had a huge game in his Week 1 Chargers debut. Dobbins ran the ball 10 times, gaining 135 yards and scoring a touchdown. He was targeted three times in the passing game, catching all three for four yards. Dobbins scored on a 12-yard run at the beginning of […]

Gus Edwards Finds Limited Room In Week 1

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards couldn't find too much room to run in a Week 1 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Edwards ran the ball 11 times, gaining 26 yards. He caught his only target for a two yard gain. Edwards led the team in carries, but saw fellow running back J.K. […]

Kenneth Walker III Shines In Week 1, Exits Early

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (abdomen) looked good in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. He ran the ball 20 times, amassing 103 yards and a touchdown, adding two grabs for six yards. Unfortunately, Walker exited the game due to abdominal pain, so fantasy managers are obviously concerned. With that said, there should […]

Joe Mixon Goes Off In Texans Debut

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon had an excellent debut with his new team, piling up 159 rushing yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for an additional 19 yards in Houston's 29-27 victory at Indianapolis. Mixon had both volume and efficiency within the Texans' offense, an outstanding sign for fantasy […]

Najee Harris Rushes For 70 Yards Against Falcons

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 20 carries for 70 yards and hauled in one of his two targets for nine yards in a Week 1 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Harris operated in a workhorse role on Sunday but should expect to lose some touches to Jaylen Warren, who had just returned from […]

Alvin Kamara Not Worried About A New Contract

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara looked good in Sunday's decisive win over the Panthers. The veteran ran the ball 15 times, accumulating 83 yards and a touchdown. He also got involved on the receiving end, catching all five targets for 27 yards. Kamara and the Saints had contract discussions over the last few […]

Antonio Gibson Inefficient In Week 1

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed seven times for 18 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He did not command a target in the passing game. Unsurprisingly, Gibson played behind Rhamondre Stevenson and was far less efficient than the workhorse back. What's peculiar, though, is that Gibson didn't get […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Carries Patriots To Victory

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 25 times for 120 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Stevenson also got involved in the passing game, catching all three of his targets for an additional six yards through the air. The Patriots' offense ran through Stevenson on Sunday, […]

George Fant Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 1

Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The situation certainly didn't look good, as the veteran couldn't put weight on his leg. He also needed assistance to the locker room. Fant, who signed with the team in March, was brought in to bolster an offensive line that […]

Raheem Mostert Inefficient Against Jags

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed six times for nine yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He added two receptions for ten yards on three targets. Oof. Miami couldn't get anything going on the ground as Jeff Wilson Jr. led all rushers with 26 yards and a long gain of […]

Aaron Jones Impresses In Vikings Debut

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones was explosive on the ground against the New York Giants in Week 1. The former Green Bay Packer averaged nearly seven yards per touch as he converted his 14 carries to 94 yards and a touchdown while adding 15 yards on two receptions in the receiving game. Jones was […]

De'Von Achane Totals 100 Yards In Opener

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed 10 times for 25 yards and one touchdown in their 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also hauled in all seven of his targets for 75 yards. The Dolphins run game couldn't get much going against a tough Jags' front seven that allowed a long gain of […]

Chase Brown Quiet In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown struggled in Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots. He was a popular option in fantasy drafts heading into the 2023-24 campaign, often getting selected over Zack Moss. However, Chase didn't get anything going in Week 1, finishing with only 11 yards off three carries, adding three catches for […]

Zack Moss Leads Bengals' Rushing Game In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss led his team in rushing on Sunday. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, with the Bengals dropping Week 1 to the Patriots. Tee Higgins (hamstring) didn't suit up, and Ja'Marr Chase (illness, hold-in) wasn't cleared until shortly before kickoff. As a result, Joe Burrow struggled. Despite the Bengals needing to play […]

Jonah Williams Ruled Out In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Jonah Williams (knee) was ruled out after suffering a knee injury against the Bills on Sunday. Williams is an important piece of an uninspiring Cardinal's O-line. Williams came over to the Cardinals as a free agent during the 2024 offseason. As such, it is disappointing to see him go down in […]

Kimani Vidal, Brenden Rice Both Inactive Against Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal and wide receiver Brenden Rice have officially been ruled inactive on Sunday. Vidal has been making strides to make his way onto the roster and was thought to be in the mix to get meaningful snaps along with Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins. Hassan Haskins will be the […]

Dylan Laube A Healthy Scratch In Week 1

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube will be a healthy scratch on Sunday when the Raiders take on the Chargers. The Chargers will enter Week 1 with Zamir White, Alexander Mattison, and Ameer Abdullah as their top-three running backs. Laube had created intrigue throughout the preseason and training camp with solid play. However, the […]

Jonah Williams Questionable To Return Sunday

Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Jonah Williams (knee) suffered an apparent knee injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Kelvin Beachum has replaced Williams at right tackle for the time being, but this will be something to monitor as it could affect Kyler Murray's protection. Williams has been an everyday […]

Dalvin Cook Won't Play In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook was not elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game versus the Cleveland Browns. As a result, he won't play in Week 1. This backfield belongs to some combination of Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle, and with Cook off the roster, Deuce Vaughn will operate as the No. […]

Antonio Gibson Suiting Up Against Bengals

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (hip) is officially active and will make his Patriots debut in Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gibson drew a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report, but it was reported on Saturday that he was fully expected to play this weekend. […]

Cam Akers, John Metchie III Inactive In Week 1

Houston Texans running back Cam Akers and wide receiver John Metchie III are healthy scratches for Week 1 of the regular season against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Texans are rolling with starter Joe Mixon and backups Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale as their three RBs to open the year against the Colts. […]

Jaylen Wright A Healthy Scratch For Dolphins

Miami Dolphins rookie fourth-round running back Jaylen Wright is a healthy scratch for the Week 1 regular-season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. To kick off the year, the Dolphins will roll with Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. as their three RBs. The Dolphins coaching staff really […]
