Sean Tucker Still a Key Part of the Bucs' Backfield?
Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has logged single-digit touches in three straight games, but he's at least found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. His role has shrunk since Bucky Irving returned in Week 13. Tucker's 13 touches over the past three games rank firmly behind Rachaad White (19) and Irving (53). It's disappointing usage […]
Ashton Jeanty is a Risky Start in Week 16
Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty faces another uphill battle in Week 16 on the road against the potent Houston Texans defense, which is likely to hinder his fantasy production and upside. Over the last two weeks, Jeanty has failed to score double-digit fantasy points and eked out just 65 total rushing yards […]
Quinshon Judkins to Lead Browns Backfield Again in Week 16
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is coming off two disappointing games, but faces a struggling Buffalo Bills run defense in Week 16, which gives up an average of 143 rushing yards per game. Judkins will continue his workhorse role with rookie running back Dylan Sampson (hand) ruled out for Week 16, but is […]
Isiah Pacheco Should Retain Lead Role In Week 16
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco led the backfield in the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Pacheco handled 11 carries for 21 yards and did not earn a single target. The 26-year-old supplanted Kareem Hunt as the back with the most opportunities, but Pacheco only averaged 1.9 yards per carry with […]
Kareem Hunt Hard To Trust Without Mahomes In Week 16
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt took a backseat to Isiah Pacheco in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and his value should also decrease without Patrick Mahomes leading the offense. Hunt rushed six times for 12 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in Week 15. Hunt handled five fewer […]
Improving Offense Gives Aaron Jones Sr. Potential In Week 16 Matchup
As the Minnesota Vikings' offense has looked markedly improved during the past two weeks, an increased commitment to the running game offers great potential for running back Aaron Jones Sr. in Week 16 against the New York Giants. The Vikings ran the ball on nearly 57% of snaps the past two games, did damage with […]
Jordan Mason Offers Lineup Potential Against Struggling Giants
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason should be considered an RB3/flex option when his team takes on the porous run defense of the New York Giants in Week 16. The Vikings have found an excellent run-pass balance in victories the past two weeks that has been a positive development overall, but also has led to […]
Sean Tucker Mainly a Touchdown-Dependent Option for Week 16
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has seen a significantly reduced role since Bucky Irving returned from injury in Week 13. Over the last three games, Tucker has only rushed the ball 13 times for 36 yards with two touchdowns. His snap count has dropped into the teens with both Irving and Rachaad White […]
Devin Singletary Seeing Shrinking Workload in New York
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has seen an uptick in workload since Week 8, when rookie back Cam Skattebo (ankle) went down with a season-ending ankle injury. However, fellow Giants back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has emerged as the clear feature back in New York in recent weeks. In the Giants' Week 15 loss […]
Rachaad White Unlikely to Have Success in Week 16
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen a reduced role in the offense since Bucky Irving made his return in Week 13. Since then, White has only seen 14 total rushing attempts but has been rather effective in his limited role, tallying 80 total yards. White only rushed the ball once last Thursday […]
Bucky Irving Primed for Bounce Back in Favorable Week 16 Matchup
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has posted consistent rushing totals since returning from injury in Week 13. Over the last three games, Irving has rushed for at least 55 yards and has seen 15 or more attempts in all those contests. However, while he was able to tally at least 16.0 PPR points […]
Josh Jacobs "More Doubtful than Probable" to Play in Week 16?
In a recent radio appearance, Green Bay Packers beat writer Rob Demovsky of ESPN said Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) is "more doubtful than probable" to play in the team's Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Saturday. Jacobs is officially listed as questionable to play after missing practice all week as […]
Rhamondre Stevenson Seeing Less Predictable Usage
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has seen a notable decline in usage since returning from the toe injury that caused him to miss three games from Weeks 9-11. Prior to the injury, he was averaging 12.8 opportunities per game, while that number has slipped to just 10.7 over the past three weeks. He […]
Justice Hill Could Return by Week 17
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (neck) has been progressing from the neck injury that landed him on Injured Reserve in late November, and could return as early as Week 17, according to head coach John Harbaugh.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was not spotted during the open portion of Friday's practice, signifying a near certainty that he will miss his fourth consecutive game.

Dylan Sampson Won't Play Against Bills
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the visiting Buffalo Bills in Week 16, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. Sampson was unable to practice all week and will miss his second straight game due to a pair of injuries. It's unclear […]
Emari Demercado Set for Backup Role Against Falcons
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Friday that running back Michael Carter will get the starting nod in the backfield on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons with Bam Knight (ankle) done for the year, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports.

More Work Coming for Jaleel McLaughlin in Broncos Backfield?
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton hinted earlier this week that more work could be on the way for running back Jaleel McLaughlin, according to Jon Heath of Broncos Wire. "We're doing it in third-down situations with Tyler Badie and Adam Prentice," Payton said. "Jaleel, I probably need to get him a little bit more […]
Michael Carter Will Start at RB in Week 16
As expected, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed on Friday that running back Michael Carter will be the starting RB in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons with Bam Knight (ankle) done for the season, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. After Knight was carted off with a season-ending ankle injury in […]
Woody Marks Back at Practice Friday
According to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (ankle) has returned for the team's final practice of the week. Alexander notes that Marks and defensive back Derek Stingley Jr. (oblique) will be limited participants as they work with trainers. It's excellent news for the team and fantasy […]
Chris Rodriguez Jr. Good to Go for Saturday
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Rodriguez was a game-time decision for last week's contest against the New York Giants and was ultimately ruled out due to a groin injury. It looks like […]
Kimani Vidal to Operate in Committee Moving Forward?
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal may still be a viable fantasy play in Week 16 if the team continues featuring him as they have, despite teammate Omarion Hampton's return to the field. Hampton missed a massive chunk of the season with an ankle injury. While he's been back for a few weeks now […]
Malik Davis Emerges as the Clear RB2 in Dallas After Week 15
Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis played 53 percent of the snaps in Week 15 and earned 11 touches (eight rushes and three receptions) for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football.
