Duke Johnson Has Forgettable Game

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson rushed six times for 40 yards and added just four receiving yards on two catches in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It was another game where Johnson's usage didn't really reflect what his usage was projected to be heading into this year and another reminder that Johnson's an […]

Carlos Hyde Scores Against Ravens

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde salvaged a rough day with a late 41-yard touchdown run in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Hyde finished with 65 rushing yards on nine carries and failed to bring in his only target. With the game script favoring the passing game for a Texans team that trailed big […]

Broncos To Ride Phillip Lindsay Against Vikings

The Denver Broncos are expected to ride running back Phillip Lindsay more in the backfield over Royce Freeman in Week 11 against the Vikings on the road. Lindsay and Freeman have been in a near-even timeshare for most of the season, which has really given Lindsay owners headaches after his breakout rookie season in 2018. […]

Le'Veon Bell, Demaryius Thomas Active

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee, illness, ribs) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) are both active for Week 11 against the Redskins.

Damien Williams Back With Team

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams, who is questionable for personal reasons for Monday night against the Chargers, flew back with the team after dealing with a family matter and should be good for Monday night, according to a source.

Adrian Peterson Expected To Remain The Starter

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is expected to remain the starter in Week 11 against the Jets despite Derrius Guice (knee) returning for the first time since the season opener, according to a source.

Miles Sanders Expected To Lead Backfield Over Jay Ajayi

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is expected to get most of the work in the backfield in Week 11 against the Patriots over recently signed running back Jay Ajayi with Jordan Howard (shoulder) out.

Kenyan Drake Starting Over David Johnson

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake will start over David Johnson against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11.

The matchup against a […]

Jordan Howard Not Expected To Play

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 11 against the Patriots, is not expected to play, according to a source.
