Frank Gore Doesn't See A Single Touch In Week 16

For the first time all year, Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore went without a touch in a game in Week 16. All 15 of the team's running back carries went to No. 1 running back Devin Singletary, who rushed for 46 yards in the game. Gore has been really struggling lately, averaging fewer than […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Marlon Mack, Philip Lindsay, John Brown

It all comes down to this for millions of fantasy football players, well, unless your league thinks having its Super Bowl on Week 17 when half the league rests its star players is a good idea. If you are still alive in your fantasy league and on the verge of winning a championship, congratulations to […]

Week 16 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

It is likely championship week for most of you, which means everything is on the line. Hopefully, many of you have a team set in place and do not need streaming options, but if you are here reading this article, it is likely you need some help at some position. My goal is to provide […]

James White Disappoints In Division-Clinching Win

New England Patriots running back James White caught four passes for only 24 yards in the Patriots 24-17 win over the Bills. White also saw three carries in the game but only managed five yards. It has been a bit of a running back roulette in the backfield for the Patriots this season with teammates […]

Tevin Coleman Records 33 Yards In Win

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman ran for 33 yards on five carries during the win over the Rams on Saturday. Once again, Coleman yielded carries to Raheem Mostert, who finished with 11 attempts for 53 yards and a score. He is a long way removed from his Week 8 performance, where he finished […]

Rex Burkhead Totals 97 Yards In Win

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead caught four passes for a team-high 77 yards and added 20 rushing yards in the team's 24-17 comeback win over the Bills. Burkhead shook off an early fumble to become an integral part of the Patriots division-clinching victory. Burkhead is the third fiddle in a crowded backfield but […]

Sony Michel Rushes For 96 Yards

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 21 times for 96 yards in the team's 24-17 win over the Bills in Week 16. The second-year running back averaged 4.6 yards per carry and posted his second quality game in a row. Michel still is not a threat in the passing game but […]

Raheem Mostert Records Another Touchdown

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert had 53 yards and a touchdown off of 11 carries during the narrow win over the Rams on Saturday. These types of performances have been relatively routine for the 27-year-old from a yardage standpoint, and while he continues to semi-split carries with Tevin Coleman, he has now scored […]

Todd Gurley Reaches Promised Land Twice

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's numbers weren't pretty, but he finished the day with two touchdowns. His line was 15 rushes for 48 yards (3.2 yards per carry), and he didn't connect on the two passes headed his way. The Rams were eliminated from playoff contention. Since Gurley's knee situation needed so much […]

Peyton Barber Doesn't Do Much Against Houston

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had just five carries for 13 yards during the loss to the Texans. Barber yielded production to Ronald Jones II, who had 77 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, and also coughed up a fumble that resulted in a defensive touchdown. The tandem attack for Tampa has […]

Ronald Jones II Productive In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had 77 yards and a touchdown off of 14 carries during the loss to Houston on Saturday. He also added three catches for 32 yards. Jones was able to get it going and was featured offensively, as the team dealt with the collective absences of wide receivers Mike Evans […]

Devin Singletary Is Stymied In Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary had a decent matchup in Week 16, but he was unable to turn it into a quality fantasy day against the New England Patriots. He finished with 15 carries for 46 yards to go with one catch for two yards. Singletary had a number of explosive plays and big […]

Carlos Hyde Salvages Shoddy Performance With A Touchdown

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde had 17 attempts for 27 yards and a touchdown during the narrow win over Tampa Bay. He also had a catch for 10 yards. After amassing 104 yards and a score off of 26 carries against the Titans in Week 15, he fizzled in this one by logging a […]

Chris Carson Could See Another Busy Day

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson is the last man standing in the backfield after Rashaad Penny underwent knee surgery to repair his torn ACL, and he'll likely have another full schedule on Sunday when Seattle hosts the Cardinals. With the Seahawks entering the game as nine-point favorites, Carson could find himself with a boatload […]

Marlon Mack Could Explode In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack hasn't been the stud that he was last season for the last few weeks, but he has the chance to have a big week in Week 16. The Carolina Panthers Defense has been very forgiving to running backs this year. They've given up the third-most yards along with 26 […]

Lions Activate Kerryon Johnson From Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions are activating running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a source. He is eligible to play in Week 16 against the Broncos after being out since Week 7. The long layoff assures that the Lions will play it safe with Johnson and limit his snaps this Sunday. […]

Derrick Henry Now Questionable For Week 16

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) was downgraded to questionable on Saturday for the Week 16 game against the Saints on Sunday. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and wasn't listed on the final injury report. The Titans also promoted running back Dalyn Dawkins from the practice squad on Saturday, which is […]

Jamaal Williams Risky Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams faces the eighth-ranked run defense of the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16. Williams has only 16 touches the last two weeks, including one catch. Plus, he hasn't scored a touchdown in five straight games after putting together a four-game touchdown streak earlier in the year. The best-case scenario […]

Darren Sproles To Retire After Season

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hip) will retire at the end of the season, ending his 15-year career. Sproles is currently out for the season with a torn right hip flexor. "I gave it everything I had on every play," Sproles said. The 36-year-old pint-sized back ran for 66 yards on just 17 carries […]

Alexander Mattison Questionable Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) got in a limited practice on Saturday and is questionable for Week 16 against the Packers on Monday night. With Dalvin Cook (shoulder) being ruled out, Mattison could have RB2 upside in a good matchup against the Packers if he plays, but at less than 100 percent […]

Dalvin Cook Listed As Out Versus Green Bay

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is listed as out for Monday night's divisional tilt against the Green Bay Packers. Cook didn't practice all week after suffering a shoulder injury and leaving the game in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and he could be in danger of missing the season finale against […]

Aaron Jones Faces Tough Matchup In Week 16

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones faces a tough test against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16. Jones has averaged 13 carries per game but only two receptions per game in his last five contests. The 24-year-old has managed to salvage fantasy value several times with his knack for scoring touchdowns in the red […]

Mike Boone Is An Upside RB2 In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone has a great chance to be one of those random, out-of-nowhere fantasy superstars that make the difference in fantasy championships this season. Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) didn't practice all week and aren't likely to play, while Boone excelled with 13 carries for 56 yards and two […]
