James Conner With Fantasy Dud In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner rushed six times for 27 yards and brought in four of five targets for five yards in the team's 37-14 Week 12 loss to the Rams on Sunday. With Arizona down 13 points at halftime, much of Conner's day fell victim to game script, as the Cardinals were forced […]

Samaje Perine Vultures A Touchdown In Win Over Browns

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine surprisingly worked as the No. 2 RB behind Javonte Williams over rookie Jaleel McLaughlin in the 29-12 win on Sunday over the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 12 and even found the end zone for the first time this season. Perine had seven carries (his most since the season […]

Austin Ekeler Has A Down Game In Week 12 Loss

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler didn't do much in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He ran the ball 10 times, gaining 32 yards with a long play of just six yards. He added five catches on six targets, gaining another 32 yards through the air. The Chargers offense as a […]

Javonte Williams Underwhelms With His 21 Touches

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had little room to run in Week 12 against the stout Cleveland Browns defense in a 29-12 victory on Sunday. Williams led Denver's backfield with a commanding 18 carries for 65 yards and caught three of his six targets for six yards. The bad news: The 23-year-old […]

Dameon Pierce Doesn’t Do Much In Return

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce returned from a three-game absence in the team's 24-21 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars but failed to do much in the contest. Pierce ran just five times for 14 yards while catching only one pass for four yards on Sunday. The second-year back has struggled on the ground this […]

Miles Sanders Runs For 28 Yards In Week 12

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders carried the ball 15 times for 28 yards and failed to corral his lone target in a 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Sanders wound up seeing one more carry than Chuba Hubbard, although the latter caught five passes for 47 yards. The Panthers appear committed […]

Chuba Hubbard Finds The End Zone In Week 12

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards and a touchdown while adding five receptions for 47 yards in a 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Hubbard barely out-touched Miles Sanders, 19 to 15, but he was the one who managed to score Carolina's lone touchdown […]

Jaylen Warren Cools Off In Week 12 Win

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 13 carries for 49 yards and added 13 yards on three receptions in a Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Warren lost a fumble in the first quarter but still split backfield work fairly evenly with Najee Harris. It may be difficult to predict which back will […]

Najee Harris Runs Efficiently And Scores In Week 12

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris gained 99 yards on 15 carries and found the end zone in the team's 16-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Although Harris was not targeted in the passing game for the first time this season, his performance on the ground was impressive as he ripped off two runs of […]

Kareem Hunt Runs For 22 Yards In Week 12 Loss

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried the ball seven times for 22 yards in a 29-12 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 12. Hunt finished second on the team in rushing, well behind leader Jerome Ford's 65 yards. Hunt also didn't draw a target, leaving him with just 12 across his six games […]

Tyler Allgeier Sees Decreased Role Again

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier began the season splitting the backfield duties with rookie Bijan Robinson. However, it appears the Falcons are finally ready to let Robinson loose and he has been making the most of it. That means, Allgeier will become the No. 2 option and see a reduced role going forward. On […]

Jerome Ford Runs For 65 Yards In Week 12 Loss

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball nine times for 65 yards and added four catches for 14 yards in a 29-12 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 12. Ford led the Browns in rushing in the contest while his seven targets were second on the team. The second-year running back had […]

Zack Moss Tallies 70 Yards In Week 12 Win

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss carried the ball eight times for 55 yards in the team's 27-20 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was also targeted three times for two catches for an additional 15 yards through the air. Moss' involvement in Indy's offense has varied tremendously over the last few weeks, as […]

Bijan Robinson Scores Twice In Win

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has finally been unleashed and is looking like the fantasy option drafters were hopeful to get in Week 1. On Sunday, Robinson rushed 16 times for 91 yards with a touchdown, while adding three receptions for 32 yards and another score through the air. The rookie back now has […]

Jonathan Taylor Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 12 Win

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had an excellent outing in the team's 27-20 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Taylor ran the ball 15 times for 91 yards, scoring two touchdowns in the process. Taylor was not involved in the receiving game, garnering zero targets in the matchup. Fellow running back Zack Moss was […]

D'Andre Swift Rushes For 80 Yards In Win Over Bills

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift took 14 carries for 80 yards and caught his lone target for a four-yard gain during the team's 37-34 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills. The 24-year-old did not get much going in the first half and lost some reps to both Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell early. However, […]

Rachaad White Totals 100 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (knee) was uncertain coming into this game as he popped up on the injury report on Saturday. Despite that, White suited up and played well against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. The young back rushed 15 times for 100 yards, while hauling in two receptions for an […]

Joe Mixon Underwhelms In Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon finished with 16 yards off eight carries in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. The former Oklahoma Sooner had one of the worst rushing performances of his career. Unfortunately, his four-game scoring streak also came to an end. Still, he at least had two catches for 44 yards to help salvage […]

Saquon Barkley Held In Check Against New England

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley barely topped 50 total yards in the team's 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 12. New York's offensive star received 12 carries for 46 yards and caught one pass for 6 yards. Barkley's 13 touches were his fewest of the 2023 season. There was not […]

Travis Etienne Jr. With 86 Scrimmage Yards In Win At Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed 20 times for 56 yards, adding four receptions on six targets for 30 yards in a win at Houston. On a day where the Texans clamped down on the ground game it was promising to see Etienne still draw six targets in the game, which was tied […]

Kyren Williams Totals Over 200 Yards In Return

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams looked better than ever in the team's 37-14 win against the Arizona Cardinals. After missing the last four games due to an ankle injury, Williams picked up right where he left off. The second-year back carried the ball 16 times for 143 yards, along with catching all six […]

Josh Jacobs Dominant In Week 12 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a robust workload, rushing for 110 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jacobs' rushing yardage was over 100 yards for the second time this season. The Raiders running back broke off a 63-yard run for a […]

D'Onta Foreman Ruled Out For Week 12

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman (ankle, knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He had previously been listed as doubtful. The veteran saw his usage decline with Khalil Herbert's last week as he rushed for just 14 yards on six carries (but did find the end zone […]

Ezekiel Elliott Efficient On Ground In Week 12 Loss

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed nine times for 46 yards during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He also turned two targets into two catches for an additional six yards through the air. While Elliott remains the clear backup to Rhamondre Stevenson, the veteran has managed to carve out a role […]

Alvin Kamara Totals 119 Scrimmage Yards In Loss

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was a focal point offensively on Sunday after receivers Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) left the game with injuries and did not return. Kamara carried the ball 15 times for 69 yards while adding four receptions on five targets for 50 receiving yards. Kamara again saw […]

Tyjae Spears Sees Just Three Touches In Win

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears rushed just two times for six yards and caught one pass for one yard in the Week 12 win over the Carolina Panthers. Spears played on 51.6% of the team's offensive snaps heading into Week 12, but he has rarely been a fantasy-viable flex option. This was his lowest […]

Derrick Henry Finds End Zone Twice In Win

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 18 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 12 win over the Carolina Panthers. It was Henry's first multi-touchdown game of the 2023 season, and he took advantage of the struggling Panthers' run defense. The 29-year-old now has six rushing scores on the season, so […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Scores Patriots' Lone Touchdown In Week 12

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 21 times for 98 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. He also caught all five of his targets for an additional nine yards through the air. The 25-year-old aided fantasy managers by eclipsing 100 scrimmage yards and adding a touchdown, and […]

Lane Johnson, Rashaad Penny Inactive Versus Bills

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (groin) and running back Rashaad Penny (coach's decision) are inactive for Week 12 versus the Buffalo Bills. Johnson was a late addition to the injury report on Sunday after self-reporting soreness. He underwent additional testing pregame and was deemed unable to play. Jack Driscoll is projected to start in […]
