Melvin Gordon Posts Solid Game In Mexico

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon rushed the ball 14 times for 69 yards and caught three passes for 21 more yards in Monday's loss to the Chiefs. Averaging 4.9 yards per carry, it was surprising LA didn't lean more heavily on Gordon's ground game, especially with Philip Rivers throwing interception after interception. However, […]

Damien Williams Rushes Four Times Before Exiting

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) was not able to do much damage during the Week 11 victory over the Chargers.

Darrel Williams Finds the End Zone in Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams was not expected to do much heading into the game, but saw more action due to injuries. Lead back Damien Williams (ribs) left in the second quarter and did not return to the game. Veteran LeSean McCoy saw more action as well, but it was likely because of […]

Damien Williams Bows Out With Injury Against Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) suffered an injury on Monday night against the Chargers and is questionable to return.

He said his ankle "feels great" and feels "like I'll be ready to go" on Thursday night against the Texans. Marlon Mack […]

James Conner Up In The Air For Week 12

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (shoulder) AC joint injury isn't any worse than it was when he left last Thursday's game against the Browns, according to a source. However, his status for Week 12 against the Bengals is up in the air and will depend on how he feels this weekend. Conner will likely […]

Austin Hooper, Devonta Freeman Trending The Right Way

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that tight end Austin Hooper (knee) and running back Devonta Freeman (foot) are "trending in the right way" with Week 12 approaching. Both players are unlikely to practice on Wednesday, but Thursday is a possibility. They'll probably need to get in at least one day of practice later […]

Lane Johnson Suffers Concussion Against Patriots

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (concussion), who had played every offensive snap through nine games this year, suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Patriots. Halapoulivaati Vaitai replaced Johnson, who has become of the best right tackles in the NFL. For an offense already missing wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and […]

Andy Janovich Done For The Season

Denver Broncos fullback Andy Janovich (elbow) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a dislocated right elbow in the Week 11 loss to the Vikings. He will undergo an MRI exam on Monday to determine if he also has ligament damage. Janovich scored on a one-yard touchdown plunge before his injury. Andy Beck, […]

Royce Freeman Non-Existent In Loss

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman was non-existent in the team's loss to the Vikings in Week 11. The 2nd-year back has started to dip in production his last two games, a daunting sign for owners that were occasionally sneaking him into their flex spot. Freeman only had eight carries for 31 yards, alongside one […]

Phillip Lindsay Struggles Against Minnesota Vikings

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay struggled against the Minnesota Vikings run defense, posting disappointing numbers for his fantasy owners. The 2nd-year back had 16 attempts on the afternoon but only managed 67 yards, with eight yards added in the receiving game. Things don't lighten up for Lindsay, as he faces a stout Buffalo Bills […]

Adrian Peterson Struggles In Split Backfield

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson had to contend not only with a stout Jets run defense on Sunday, but also with the return of second-year teammate Derrius Guice. Naturally, Peterson's fantasy output in the 34-17 home loss to New York suffered. He saw just nine carries and took them for a combined 25 yards. […]

Kalen Ballage Vultures His Only Value

With a three-down role all to himself again, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage continued to be irrelevant in both fantasy and real-life on Sunday, putting up just six fantasy points in Miami’s 37-20 loss to Buffalo. The fact that he got even six points was miraculous, as they only came due to a three-yard […]

Marlon Mack Is Out Indefinitely

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hand) suffered a hand fracture during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He underwent successful surgery to repair the fracture on Monday morning. He's expected to be out for Week 12, and it's likely that he'll be out at least one more week after that. However, this is not […]

David Montgomery Quiet In Loss

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery finished with 14 carries for only 31 yards during the loss to the Rams on Sunday night. He also managed to catch a single pass for 19 yards but was outperformed in all areas by Tarik Cohen, who finished with more receiving and rushing yards, while also recording a […]

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen outplayed David Montgomery on Sunday night in the loss to the Rams. Cohen rushed for 39 yards, eight more than Montgomery, on nine attempts in addition to five receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown.

Raheem Mostert Unable To Make Impact

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert rushed six times for 13 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. With the Niners falling behind early, the running attack managed just 34 yards Sunday as quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie wideout Deebo Samuel shined. Mostert’s quiet day is […]

Jeffery Wilson Plays Hero In Brief Cameo

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson converted his lone target for a 25-yard touchdown in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. Wilson barely scratched the field Sunday but made his only touch count, catching a dart from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the fourth quarter to seal the Cardinals’ fate. With running back Matt Breida […]

Week 11 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Welcome back to Mexico City. Last season, the Chiefs were supposed to take on the Rams in this game before field conditions moved the game to Los Angeles.

However, we're not here for that. We're here to make some […]

Malcolm Brown Scores

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown had five carries for 15 yards and a touchdown in Week 11. It was Brown's first useful day in fantasy since Week 1 when he vultured two touchdowns. You can't bank on that week to week, but he needs to be handcuffed to starting running back Todd Gurley. […]

Todd Gurley Finally Lets Loose

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 25 times for 97 yards and a touchdown in the Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears. He did lose a fumble, however. Gurley also caught three balls for 36 yards. The three catches tied for the team lead as the team finally rode on his back. […]

Peyton Barber Finds End Zone In Bucs Loss To Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber did not have a rushing attempt the entire afternoon in Week 11 but was able to save his day with a six-yard touchdown catch. Barber caught 2-of-2 targets for 11 yards on the day but was totally uninvolved after scoring late in the fourth quarter with the Bucs […]

Le'Veon Bell Finds End Zone In Win

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell carried the ball 18 times for 59 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Redskins. Bell also had two catches in the game to give him 20 total touches for the seventh time in 11 games this season. This is the second straight good-not-great performance from […]

Ronald Jones II A Ghost In Week 11 Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II rushed for just 13 yards on four attempts, while also adding two catches for one yard in the Bucs loss to the Saints. The Bucs were down 20-0 midway through the second quarter, and that all but sealed Jones' fate for the rest of the afternoon. Fantasy […]

Bilal Powell Gets Seven Carries At Washington

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell carried the ball seven times for 42 yards in a win over the Redskins on Sunday. Powell added one catch for five yards as his role in the offense continues to grow. This isn't the first time we've seen the Jets use their veteran running back later in […]

Derrius Guice Scores Against The Jets

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice touched the ball eight times in the Redskins 17-34 loss to the Jets, gaining 69 yards and scoring one touchdown.

Bo Scarbrough Scores In Lions Debut

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough took control of the Lions backfield in Week 11, rushing 14 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Scarbrough surprisingly out-snapped both Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic and had 14-of-19 Lions rushing attempts just one day after being promoted from the practice squad. It is very […]
