Justice Hill Won't Return In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hill landed on his head and immediately exited to the locker room to be further evaluated. The team has decided to hold him out for the second half of this game due to a […]

Lock Josh Jacobs In For RB1 Treatment Against Saints

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs looks to keep his awesome run going in Week 16 as the Packers host the New Orleans Saints. Jacobs has been on fire over the last five games, where he's scored nine touchdowns and averages 21 carries and 112 total yards per game. The Packers have been leaning […]

Alvin Kamara Ruled Out For Week 16

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) has been ruled out by the team for Week 16's game at Green Bay. Kamara will miss the matchup with the Packers this week and look to rebound to be available for Week 17 against Las Vegas. Kendre Miller will be the lead back for the Saints […]

No Touchdowns, 71 Total Yards For Joe Mixon Against Chiefs

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon compiled 71 total yards with no touchdowns in a 27-19 defeat at Kansas City on Saturday. The first-year Texan had a decent day on the ground against a strong Chiefs run defense, compiling 57 yards on 14 carries, but wasn't involved much as a receiver, drawing just two targets […]

Kenneth Gainwell Remains Pure Handcuff In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell should not be started in any formats this weekend when he faces the Washington Commanders. Throughout the season, Gainwell has continued to be deployed as the clear No.2 option behind Saquon Barkley. However, with Saquon Barkley operating in a workhorse role, Gainwell has averaged just 4.5 attempts per game […]

Rico Dowdle A High-End RB2 In Week 16 Against Tampa

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (knee) will be facing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense on Sunday Night Football in Week 16 that has allowed the fewest half-PPR points to opposing RBs in the last five weeks, which includes just one rushing touchdown given up. However, because of the high volume that Dowdle has been […]

Travis Etienne Jr. A Flex With Extra Value In PPR Leagues

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is a decent flex option in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He has been more heavily involved in the passing game as of late and even got more carries than fellow back Tank Bigsby in Week 15. However, that doesn't necessarily mean Etienne Jr. will dominate […]

Tyler Allgeier Could Get More Work In Rookie QBs First Start

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has been the recipient of double-digit carries just four times all season and has yet to record those outings in back-to-back weeks. In Week 15, the 24-year-old carried the ball 12 times, so is he due for a return to single digits? With rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. under […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 16? D'Andre Swift, Zach Charbonnet, Kendre Miller

It's never fun to see running backs put up big games and have multiple high-scoring efforts in fantasy football, only to see them inexplicably regress at some point in the season. If you have a player like this and you've made it this far in the playoffs, it can be confusing who to start. Fortunately, […]

De'Von Achane Looks To Continue Excellent Stretch Vs. 49ers

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane heads into Week 16 with five top 15 running back finishes in a row despite only averaging 36.8 rushing yards per contest.

Wait And See On The Role Of Craig Reynolds

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds is a popular waiver-wire addition ahead of Week 16 against the Chicago Bears but it might be best to check on his role and usage before plugging him into lineups.

Jahmyr Gibbs Sets Up Nicely For Big Week 16 Outing

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is the clear-cut No. 1 option in the team's backfield now that David Montgomery will miss time with a knee injury.

Ameer Abdullah Likely To Split Touches With Alexander Mattison In Week 16

The Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16 in what is an easy matchup for running backs in fantasy.
