Rex Burkhead Totals 15 Rushing Yards

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead carried the ball seven times for 15 yards in the Patriots 23-17 loss to the Chiefs. The offense endured one of its worst performances of the season but Burkhead's snaps went up. He even out-snapped second-year running back Sony Michel and it is fair to question if the […]

Latavius Murray Runs Strong Against 49ers

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray posted 64 rushing yards on seven carries and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Murray was out-touched by Alvin Kamara 17-nine, though Murray looked like the better player in this game. It was a great rebound effort […]

James White Posts 68 Total Yards Against Chiefs

New England Patriots running back James White carried the ball six times for 33 yards and added five receptions for 35 yards in the Patriots Week 14 loss to the Chiefs. On a night when the Patriots offense struggled for most of the game there weren't many bright spots to be found. From a fantasy […]

Sony Michel's Fantasy Value Continues To Plummet

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball only five times for eight yards in the Patriots 23-17 loss to the Chiefs. The second-year running back was completely phased out of the team's offensive game plan as the Patriots search for an offensive identity. His fantasy value, in turn, has reached a new […]

Alexander Mattison Has 16 Touches In Win

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison had 14 carries for 46 yards in Week 14, adding two receptions for 18 yards in the win. The 16 touches were a new career-high for the rookie as he got a lot of late-game run with the Vikings holding a sizeable lead. Mattison likely won't offer standalone value […]

Alvin Kamara Shut Down By 49ers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball 13 times for 25 yards and caught four of six targets for 18 yards in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It's fair to wonder if something is wrong health-wise with Kamara, who's been a bust in fantasy this year. It could also […]

Chris Thompson Turns In Decent PPR Day

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson hauled in seven of a team-high eight targets on Sunday against the Packers. He only produced 43 yards, but the sudden uptick in opportunity is a welcome change of pace for the pass-catching back. It's worth noting that Thompson's increased role coincides with an injury that knocked Derrius Guice […]

Adrian Peterson Rumbles As Primary Back In Week 14

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson was forced back into a featured role on Sunday when Derrius Guice suffered a knee injury. Peterson's output on 20 carries wasn't especially efficient, but 76 yards and a touchdown were welcome sights to any fantasy owner who rolled him out as a hopeful flex option. The longtime workhorse […]

Deandre Washington Hits Paydirt As A Starting Fill-In

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington wasn't as explosive as Josh Jacobs in Week 14, but he did a respectable job in the rookie's absence. He found the end zone on the team's first drive of the game, scoring from 14 yards out after an interception on defense gave them a short field. That was […]

David Johnson Scores

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed three times for 19 yards and caught two receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 14. He did almost as much with his five touches as running back Kenyan Drake did with his 14. With Drake struggling to make an impact, Johnson could see more touches […]

Kenyan Drake Scuffles

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake rushed 11 times for 37 yards and caught three balls for 30 yards in Week 14. He's still receiving twice as many touches as running back David Johnson, but he's not doing much with them. Johnson caught a touchdown pass this week, and there's a big enough sample size […]

Dalvin Cook Tallies 13th Rushing Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried 18 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Week 14's win over the Detroit Lions. He also caught both of his targets for 13 receiving yards. The score, Cook's league-leading 13th of the season, came on a three-yard scamper just before halftime. Cook received his normal workload […]

Matt Breida Plays Sparingly In Return

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida handled six carries for 54 yards and caught a four-yard pass in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. Breida ripped a few nice gains in his first game since Week 10 but played well behind a surging Raheem Mostert who amassed 109 scrimmage yards and two scores […]

Jaylen Samuels' Struggles Continue

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels rushed for 16 yards on seven carries, while catching two passes for 18 yards in Sunday’s 23-17 win over Arizona. Samuels is supposed to be the pass-catching back in the offense but his recent stat line doesn’t show it. The second-year back has 15 receptions for just 96 yards […]

Benny Snell Jr. Quiet In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 41 yards on 16 carries in Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals. Snell is a week removed from scoring his first NFL touchdown but this wasn’t the output expected for the rookie in Week 14. It will be interesting to see if James Conner (shoulder) can […]

Leonard Fournette Never Gets Going

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had a good matchup on Sunday against the Chargers, but was never really able to take advantage of that, rushing 15 times for 50 yards and adding 13 receiving yards on three catches. Fournette had a fairly sizable drop in passing game usage and the game script kept him […]

Christian McCaffrey Goes Without A Touchdown

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey ran for 53 yards on 11 carries to go along with 82 yards on 11 catches during the loss to the Falcons on Sunday. For only the fourth time this season, McCaffrey failed to find the end zone, and while the team has virtually nothing to play for, the […]

Raheem Mostert Takes Control Of Backfield

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert handled 10 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. He also caught two balls for 40 yards and a second score. For the second consecutive week, Mostert dominated backfield snaps and was a beast after first contact. His touchdown catch […]

Tevin Coleman Relegated To Bench Again

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman toted just three carries for six yards in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. In a 48-46 thriller, Coleman’s second consecutive bust confirms that he’s been sidelined for Raheem Mostert and Matt Breida. He was seen early in the game but not much afterwards. After accruing just […]

Jamaal Williams Takes Backseat To Aaron Jones

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams picked up 24 rushing yards on seven carries and failed to register a reception on one target. Williams played second fiddle to Aaron Jones, who exploded for 192 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. It's entirely possible that Williams, who was a late addition to the injury report on […]

Mark Ingram Produces Paltry Performance

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram rushed for 50 yards on 15 carries in Week 14's win over the Buffalo Bills. Ingram added 29 yards on three receptions as a pass-catcher. The veteran struggled to break free, averaging 3.3 yards per carry with his longest gain being just nine yards. With Lamar Jackson clogging up […]

T.J. Yeldon Inactive In Week 14 Vs Ravens

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon was inactive for the seventh straight game in Week 14 against the Ravens. The Bills are rolling along with Devin Singletary and Frank Gore as their lone rushers. Singletary had a big game in Week 14, gaining 89 yards on the ground and another 29 yards through the air. […]

Aaron Jones Shines Against Redskins

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones posted a season-high 134 rushing yards on 16 totes with a touchdown and caught six of seven targets for 58 receiving yards in a 20-15 win over the Washington Redskins. With game script on his side, Jones was fed the most touches since Week 8- and he responded […]

Ty Montgomery Has 61 Yards Sunday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery rushed nine times for 31 yards and made three catches for 30 yards in a win over the Dolphins Sunday. As expected, Montgomery took a backseat to Bilal Powell in the absence of starter Le'Veon Bell (illness). Powell (ankle) left the game late, however, and the status of […]

Bilal Powell Totals 88 Yards, Leaves With Injury

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell rushed 19 times for 74 yards but injured his ankle late and didn't finish the game. Powell added two catches for 14 yards filling in for starter Le'Veon Bell (illness) who missed the game with the flu. The Jets should provide an update on Powell's injury Monday, but […]

Giovani Bernard Collects 31 Yards Through The Air

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard had two catches (three targets) for 31 yards during the Week 14 loss to the Browns. He also had four carries for 15 yards. Performances such as this have been the norm for the 28-year-old this season, and with just 121 rushing yards and an equally unimpressive 181 receiving […]

Frank Gore Bottled Up For Just Six Yards In Week 14

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore had his worst game of the year from a yardage standpoint in Week 14 against the Ravens. Gore earned just four carries in the game and wasn't able to do much with them, gaining just six total yards. This was the first time all year that Gore was held […]

Devin Singletary Goes For Over 100 Yards On 23 Touches

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary was the clear offensive standout for the team in their 24-17 loss to the Ravens in Week 14. Singletary carried the ball 17 times for 89 yards and added six receptions for 29 yards. No other Bill had over 40 yards from scrimmage in the game. Singletary's 23 touches […]

Joe Mixon Scores Another Touchdown

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon ran for 146 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries during the loss to the Browns on Sunday. He also had three receptions for 40 yards. This was Mixon's most productive game of the year, eclipsing the 114 yards that he produced against Baltimore back in Week 10, and […]

Duke Johnson Barely Used In Run Game

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson had just one carry on Sunday against the Broncos, a touch that gained five yards. He was targeted eight times in the passing game, catching six of those for 40 yards. Johnson's usage looked a lot more like most expected it would when he was traded to the Texans, […]
