Darrell Henderson Jr. Leads Team In Receiving Yards

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. got his second-straight start in the team's 43-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8. The 26-year-old rushed the ball 12 times for just 31 yards but caught all three of his targets for 54 yards through the air. Royce Freeman was once again more efficient […]

Najee Harris Totals 55 Yards Against Jaguars

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled seven carries for 13 yards and secured all five of his targets for 42 yards in a Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although Harris was extremely inefficient on the ground, he set new season highs in targets, receptions, and receiving yardage. The 25-year-old continued to operate […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Totals 79 Scoreless Yards Against Philadelphia

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had 10 carries for 59 yards along with two receptions for 20 yards during Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Leading into Week 8, there were some concerns that Robinson's role as lead back in this Washington offense was fading as rookie Chris Rodriguez Jr. saw some decent […]

D'Andre Swift Salvages Day With Late Touchdown Run

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift took 16 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for seven yards during the team's 38-31 win over the Washington Commanders.

Tyler Allgeier Sees Limited Role In Loss

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier returned to his role as the backup in this backfield on Sunday. Allgeier saw 21 carries last week, but saw that number take a dramatic hit this week. The young back carried the ball eight times for 31 yards in the loss to the Tennessee Titans. Rookie back Bijan […]

Bijan Robinson Scores Touchdown In Loss

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson returned as the lead back for this offense on Sunday. The rookie back looked good on the ground with 62 yards, but he only had 11 attempts in this game. Once again, the Falcons got down double digits and were forced to abandon the running game. Luckily, Robinson was […]

Alexander Mattison Inefficient In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison carried the ball 16 times for 31 yards and added one reception for two yards in the team's 24-10 victory over the Packers. After being out-touched by Cam Akers in Week 7, Mattison regained his role as the lead back as he handled 17 touches to Akers' 10. He […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Relatively Quiet In Week 8 Loss

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 10 times for 39 yards during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also caught two of his four targets for an additional 11 yards through the air. After eight weeks, it has become clear that Stevenson's fantasy production is dependent on him finding the end zone […]

Chuba Hubbard Leads Panthers Backfield In Week 8

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 15 times for 28 yards and added two receptions for 26 yards in a 15-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 8. It was Hubbard, and not early-season starter Miles Sanders, who led the Carolina backfield in the team's first win of the season as […]

Miles Sanders Receives Only Two Carries In Week 8

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders carried the ball twice for no yards and was not targeted in the passing game in a 15-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 8. Sanders, who missed his team's previous game with a shoulder injury, seemed to be healthy in Week 8 but he wound up working […]

Tony Pollard Has Another Mediocre Game In Week 8

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard had another mediocre performance in a Week 8 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Despite 43 points scored on offense, Pollard ended up carrying the ball just 12 times for 53 scoreless yards. He was only targeted once in the passing game, making a catch for two yards. The […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Returns In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had initially been listed as questionable to return. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as one of the NFL's most talented playmakers is back on the field. Etienne should continue to be treated as a […]

Trent Williams Won't Play In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers star left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable, but it was considered unlikely that he would play after he missed all three practices this past week. The 35-year-old's second consecutive absence will elevate Jaylon Moore to a starting […]

Keaton Mitchell, Tylan Wallace Inactive For Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) and wide receiver Tylan Wallace (hamstring) are inactive for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Both players had been listed as questionable. Mitchell, a rookie, has played in two games this season, though his first offensive snaps didn't come until last week. In his absence, Owen Wright will […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Injures Ankle Sunday, Questionable To Return

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (ankle) departed Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is officially questionable to return.

Jerome Ford Officially Active For Week 8

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable after making an incredibly quick recovery from a high-ankle sprain over the course of just a few days. What was expected to be a multi-week injury ultimately won't even hold Ford out […]

Chuba Hubbard To Start Over Miles Sanders

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is expected to have a larger role in the offense on Sunday versus the Houston Texans. According to Mike Kaye, not only will Hubbard see more touches, but he will also draw the start over Miles Sanders. It's an interesting development considering Carolina's commitment to Sanders in free agency […]

Raheem Mostert Active For Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after logging two consecutive limited practices this past week. This is obviously great news for a Miami team that has benefitted from Mostert's impressive running in 2023. The 31-year-old is the […]

Zack Moss Active For Week 8

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (elbow, heel) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Saints.
