Dalvin Cook Solid On Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was solid during the narrow win over the Cowboys on Sunday, finishing with 26 carries for 97 yards and a score. Cook also contributed as a receiver, leading the team with seven receptions for 86 yards on a night where Adam Thielen (hamstring) sat. He remains in the conversation […]

Stefon Diggs Catches Three Passes In Win

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs recorded three receptions (six targets) for 49 yards in the win over the Cowboys on Sunday. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) out in this one, Diggs wasn't able to capitalize. Instead, he was relegated to the role of onlooker, with Dalvin Cook getting involved in all areas on the night. […]

Tony Pollard Gets Only One Touch in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard only touched the ball once in a Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, running the ball for a four yard loss. The Vikings planned their defense around shutting down the Dallas running game, and they did an excellent job at that, limiting starter Ezekiel Elliott to just […]

Ezekiel Elliott Held in Check in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was held in check by the Minnesota Vikings Defense in Week 10. He ran the ball 20 times for 47 yards, adding two catches for 16 more yards. The Vikings defense planned their game around Elliott and made sure to keep him from doing much damage. His 2.4 yards […]

Darrell Henderson Goes Nowhere

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson rushed four times for four yards in Week 10. He and Malcolm Brown split the carries behind Todd Gurley, and they'll likely continue to do so. Henderson and Brown aren't worth starting, but they both provide insurance for Gurley owners.

Malcolm Brown Does Little In Five Carries

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown had five carries for 10 yards in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rookie Darrell Henderson shared the leftover work with him, and he had four carries for four yards. Brown and Henderson cancel each other out in fantasy, but both are quality insurance for Todd Gurley owners.

Todd Gurley Solid In Limited Work

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 12 times for 73 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and failed to make a reception on four targets Sunday. The lack of a touchdown kept his stat line suppressed as he has relied on TDs heavily to remain afloat in limited action. He will have a good […]

Christian McCaffrey Scores Again

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey finished with 108 yards and a touchdown off of 20 carries during the loss to the Packers in Week 10. The 23-year-old was also involved as a quasi-receiver, as expected, compiling six catches for 33 yards. McCaffrey has scored at least one touchdown in each game but one this […]

David Johnson Lays An Egg

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed five times for two yards and caught one pass for eight yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday. Johnson also lost a fumble. He was targeted just once in the passing game, and Kenyan Drake was targeted seven times. This is likely the kind of backseat Johnson will […]

Brian Hill Rushes For 61 Yards In Win

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had 20 carries for 61 yards to go along with one catch for a touchdown during the win over the Saints on Sunday. With Devonte Freeman, who had 10 attempts for 38 yards, exiting prematurely with an ankle injury, the door opened for the 24-year-old to get his first […]

Nyheim Hines Shows Some Life In Week 10

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines found some life in Week 10 against Miami. He had just three carries for 14 yards, but he added four catches on seven targets for 30 yards. He remains a non-factor in standard-scoring leagues, but this was a positive development for those in PPR formats. You're still not relying on Hines […]

Latavius Murray Quiet In Loss To Falcons

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had a quiet day against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. The seventh-year veteran rushed five times for 12 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards. There was talk this week of an expanded role for Murray-so it was disappointing to see him receive his […]

Marlon Mack Is Quiet In Week 10

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack got 19 carries for 74 yards in Week 10 against the Dolphins, and he caught his lone target for eight yards. However, for the second straight week, he was unable to get into the end zone and finished with a quiet fantasy day as a result. The Colts were playing from […]

Alvin Kamara Catches Eight Passes In Week 10 Loss

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed four times for 24 yards and caught eight of 10 targets for 50 yards in his team's Week 10 loss. The 24-year-old looked good running the ball, though game script guided the Saints more towards the pass. Fellow back Latavius Murray had more rushing attempts, but Kamara […]

Frank Gore Receives Only Five Carries On Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore finished with just 12 yards on five carries during the loss to the Browns in Week 10. Once again, the veteran yielded carries to Devin Singletary, who had three more carries for 42 yards, and while Singletary didn't have the most spectacular performance, it is apparent that the rookie […]

Saquon Barkley Was Disastrous On Sunday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley fell on his face Sunday in a loss to the Jets. The second-year pro had just one yard on 13 carries and added 30 yards on five catches. There's not really much to say about this other than that Barkley just doesn't seem right since returning from his […]

Devin Singletary Cools Off Against Cleveland

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary finished with just 42 yards on eight carries during the loss to the Browns on Sunday. While he was targeted seven times on the day by quarterback Josh Allen, he hauled in just three receptions for a meager eight yards. It was a much different performance than the one […]

Damien Williams Finds Room to Run Versus Titans

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was expected to have a big game with veteran LeSean McCoy a healthy scratch in this one. Williams ran for over 125 yards in the game prior, so the Chiefs put their faith in him once again. He rushed 19 times for 77 yards and caught five passes […]

Jaylen Samuels Can't Cash In On 17 Touches

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels rushed for 29 yards on 14 carries, while also catching three of seven targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Rams. The scat back wasn't a big factor in this one, as the Steelers offense never really got into a great sync. However, the second-year back […]

Peyton Barber Scores In Bucs Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber led the Bucs in rushing yards in their Week 10 win over the Cardinals. Barber was expected to take more of a backseat to Ronald Jones II in this one but only saw fewer looks in the passing game, as both backs totaled 11 touches on the ground. […]

Ronald Jones II Impresses In Expanded Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was expected to lead the Bucs backfield in touches in Week 10, and although he did, the results were mixed. Jones posted 106 yards and a touchdown on 19 touches but ended up fumbling at a key point in the fourth quarter. From there it was all […]

Tarik Cohen Scores Second Touchdown Of Season

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen totaled only 37 yards from scrimmage but found the end zone in the Bears 20-13 win over the Lions. Quarterback Mitch Trubisky found Cohen in the red zone and the running back used his speed to hit the edge and sprint in for a score. Cohen's numbers have fallen […]

David Montgomery Rushes For 60 Yards Against Lions

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery carried the ball 17 times for 60 yards in the team's 20-13 win over the Lions. The rookie averaged only 3.5 yards per carry but came up with some tough yards between the tackles. Montgomery is averaging 78.3 rushing yards a game over his last three played but disappeared […]

J.D. McKissic Inefficient In Week 10

Detroit Lions running back J.D. McKissic continued to see an uptick in usage but was unable to take advantage of it in the Lions Week 10 loss to the Bears. McKissic led the Lions backfield with a total of 16 touches but was only able to muster 55 yards. Those who took a shot on […]

Joe Mixon Rushes For 114 Yards In Loss

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had his best performance of the season during the 49-13 loss to Baltimore on Sunday. Mixon rushed for 114 yards on 30 attempts, both season-highs, while also accumulating 37 yards through the air off of two receptions (three targets). Though he has yet to find the end zone, his […]

Kareem Hunt Catches Seven Balls in Browns Debut

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried the ball four times for 30 yards and caught 7-of-9 targets for 44 yards in a 19-16 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. In his first game with Cleveland, Hunt wound up operating as the team's primary pass-catching back, finishing third on the team in targets […]

Gus Edwards Not A Factor Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 17 yards on four carries in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Bengals. Edwards hadn't seen less than five carries in a game since Week 2 against the Cardinals. Although he is the second option in Baltimore's backfield, his consistent subpar performances only make him a viable […]

Nick Chubb Rushes for 116 Yards in Win

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 20 times for 116 yards in a 19-16 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. Chubb also added two receptions for five yards in the game. While Chubb only lost four carries to Kareem Hunt, Hunt did see extensive work in the passing game with […]

Bilal Powell Has Seven Carries Sunday

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell rushed seven times for 15 yards and was not targeted in the passing game Sunday. Powell was being used as a change of pace back spelling starter Le'Veon Bell for a few series, but Powell couldn't get anything going behind a banged-up offensive line. Still, Powell's carries are […]

Le'Veon Bell Scores To Salvage Fantasy Day

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell rushed 18 times for only 34 yards and made four catches for an additional 34 yards in a win over the Giants Sunday. He could get nothing going on the ground today consistently getting hit in the backfield playing behind a decimated offensive line. However, Bell was able […]
