Javonte Williams Gets Zero Carries

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams didn't see much action during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Williams failed to see a carry in the backfield with Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime getting the touches. The only thing Williams did on offense was catch two passes for zero yards, so a dud from the 24-year-old. […]

Audric Estime Quiet In Loss

Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime was unable to find much success on the ground during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie back rushed nine times for 24 yards while hauling in his lone target for 13 yards in the loss. This is now back-to-back games that Estime has seen nine touches in […]

Blake Corum Held In Check Against Arizona

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum did get his typical workload in the second quarter against the Cardinals on Saturday night, but he ended up losing four yards on his three carries. He got all of his work on the team's third possession and remains firmly behind Kyren Williams on the depth chart. Corum […]

Kyren Williams Scores Despite Lighter Workload

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams didn't have a heavy workload on Saturday night against the Cardinals, but he still finished with a decent fantasy day since he took his 13 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 16 receiving yards.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter recorded 70 rushing yards on 13 attempts in the 13-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

James Conner Never Returns After Exiting Game In The First Quarter

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) never returned to the game after re-injuring his knee in the first quarter. It appeared as though Conner got twisted up on during a fourth-down rushing attempt in the first quarter. After that run, we saw Conner being attended to on the sideline by athletic trainers, and he […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Essentially Absent In Week 17

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for one yard on two carries during Saturday's Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in blowout fashion. He also failed to catch his lone target. Stevenson had operated as the Patriots' primary running back for the entire season, but he was relegated to the backup […]

Antonio Gibson Pads Stats In Garbage Time

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed for 63 yards on 12 carries during Saturday's Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in blowout fashion. He was unable to convert his lone target into a reception. Gibson had just six carries for 10 yards midway through the fourth quarter, but he padded his […]

Isaac Guerendo Worthy Of Championship Lineups Vs. Detroit

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot, hamstring) will return from a one-week absence when the team hosts the Detroit Lions on Monday night. Before missing last week's contest against Miami, Guerendo took 16 carries for 57 yards and caught four of four targets for 18 yards versus the Rams. The week before […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Leads Broncos In Rushing

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin rushed for 69 yards on 10 carries in Saturday's 30-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He added seven yards on two receptions. The second-year back saw one more carry than rookie Audric Estime and handily out-gained him by 45 yards. However, with the game picking up pace in a […]

James Conner Questionable To Return With Knee Injury

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday night's meeting with the Los Angeles Rams. The 29-year-old came into this weekend battling through a knee injury he picked up in Week 16's loss to the Carolina Panthers and apparently isn't entirely over it. Per the broadcast, he's available on the […]

Khalil Herbert Gets Some Work In Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals running back Khalil Herbert had 23 yards off four carries in Saturday's win over the Broncos. Chase Brown (ankle) had another solid fantasy showing, going for 67 yards on the ground off 20 touches and adding four grabs for 24 yards. However, with Brown suffering an ankle injury late in the contest, Herbert […]

Chase Brown Plays Well In Win, Injured Late On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (ankle) ran for 67 yards off 20 carries in Saturday's overtime win over the Denver Broncos. He added four catches for 24 yards. Although the 24-year-old didn't find the end zone, he still had a productive showing to help keep the Bengals' playoff hopes alive. Unfortunately, he suffered an […]

Should I Start De'Von Achane in Week 17? Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

Alright first of all, what the hell? Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is absolutely elite in fantasy football this season.

Trey Benson Ruled Out For Week 17

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Benson is set to miss his second game in a row due to a lingering ankle issue. Luckily, James Conner (knee) has been cleared to play and figures to see a majority of […]

James Conner To Play In Week 17

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) has been upgraded to active ahead of Saturday's Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Conner was questionable coming into this game after suffering a knee injury during last week's loss. He's ready to go now and could see a heavier workload with backup back Trey Benson […]

Kimani Vidal Gets Just Five Touches In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal only ended up with five touches in a Week 17 blowout win over the New England Patriots. Vidal was thought to maybe have an increased role this week with J.K. Dobbins just returning from IR, but Dobbins resumed his every down role, leaving just five carries for […]

J.K. Dobbins Scores A Touchdown In His Week 17 Return

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins returned from injured reserve and scored a touchdown in a Week 17 win over the New England Patriots. Dobbins missed the past four games with a knee injury, but he was activated earlier this week and ran the ball 19 times for 76 yards, including a two-yard scoring […]

Cam Akers Not Recommended For The Fantasy Finals

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers should not be started in this Sunday's divisional tilt against the visiting Green Bay Packers. The 25-year-old's workload has mostly been contingent on game script and the health of backfield mate Aaron Jones in 2024. Akers had gotten some extended run when Jones was dinged up or the game […]

Ray Davis Tough To Trust Vs. Jets

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis will not be a viable fantasy option in Sunday's divisional clash with the New York Jets. The rookie back has been used sparingly over the last few weeks and is mostly uninvolved when Buffalo is in a close game. He's been effective with his touches when he has seen […]

Is Tony Pollard Injured Or Playing In Week 17? Should I Start Tyjae Spears For Fantasy Football?

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has had a productive first season with the team. The veteran running back is the RB20 for the year, averaging 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

Is Tua Tagovailoa Hurt or Healthy? Injury Update for Fantasy Football Week 17 (2024)

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) had a very nice stretch of games from Week 11 to Week 14, scoring more than 20 fantasy points in each of those games. He didn't throw a single interception and logged 11 passing scores over that span. Since then, he's seemingly regressed, and scored 6.8 in Week 15 […]

Should I Start Tyreek Hill in Week 17? Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

It's been one of the least fun experiences in fantasy football this season to have Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) on rosters. He's the WR19 on the season, and while he's played through a wrist injury and injuries to his starting quarterback, that's seriously disappointing. More shocking has been the string of single-digit […]

Tony Pollard Downgraded To Out

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle/illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pollard was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury and came down with the flu on Saturday. It was reported earlier that Pollard was not going […]
