Frank Gore Has A Quiet Game In Week 8

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore gained just 34 yards on nine carries in Week 8 against the Eagles. It was his lowest rushing total since Week 1. The Bills' offense struggled as a whole in the game. Gore heavily out-carried the team's No. 2 running back Devin Singletary, who gained 19 yards on just […]

Ronald Jones II Rushes For 35 Yards In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had 11 attempts for 35 yards in the loss to the Titans. Barber also had a catch for 17 yards, but as usual, he received nearly as many touches as Peyton Barber, who finished the day with 20 yards on 10 carries. Until Barber goes down with […]

Latavius Murray Gashes Cardinals For 157 Yards and Two Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had an excellent day against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The seventh-year veteran carried the ball 24 times for 102 yards, hauled in nine of 12 targets for 55 yards and found the end zone twice. With their bye coming up in Week 9 and starter Alvin […]

Bilal Powell Gets Four Carries

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell carried the ball four times for 11 yards in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. Powell was not targeted in the passing game. This is the first game this season Powell has had more than one carry so he won't carry any standalone fantasy value. However, his four […]

Le'Veon Bell Gets Only 12 Touches Vs Jaguars

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell ran the ball nine times for 23 yards while adding three receptions for an additional 12 yards in a loss to the Jaguars Sunday. The 12 touches are easily the lowest total for Bell in any game this season as the Jets completely abandoned the run game after […]

Tarik Cohen Disappoints In Defeat

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught three passes for 37 yards in the Bears 17-16 loss to the Chargers in Week 8. Cohen caught a nice pass from quarterback Mitch Trubisky for 31 yards in the first half but was largely ineffective the rest of the game. The Bears offense got the ground game […]

Darrell Henderson As Uneventful Day

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson saw 11 carries in a blowout of the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, and he rushed for 49 yards. He also caught two balls for 20 yards in what was an OK showing, but it didn't do much in fantasy. The Rams are on a bye next week, […]

David Montgomery Explodes For 147 Total Yards

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery enjoyed his best day as a pro, rushing for 135 yards and adding 12 receiving yards with one touchdown against the Chargers in Week 9. The rookie ran hard from the opening drive and finally was able to flash his elusive ability in the second level of the defense. […]

Todd Gurley Reaches End Zone

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley had a quiet day in Week 8 with 10 rushes for 44 yards, but he salvaged the day with a touchdown. He was targeted once through the air, but he didn't record a reception. The Rams were in control throughout the game, and Gurley was used lightly. He'll […]

Giovani Bernard Rushes For 31 Yards

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard ran for a season-high 31 yards during the loss to the Rams on Sunday. Though the 27-year-old had just three rushing attempts, he was able to salvage what would have been a dismal performance by breaking out a 25-yard gain midway through the second quarter in addition to bringing […]

Joe Mixon Scores Again In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon rushed for 66 yards on 17 attempts to go along with four catches for 11 yards and a score during the loss to the Rams in London. While he is still without a rushing touchdown on the year, the 23-year-old was able to find the end zone through the […]

Marlon Mack Gets Into The End Zone In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack bounced back in Week 8 for a solid day. He had 19 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown. He also caught his lone target for 14 yards. Mack had volume, which is usually what he needs to give himself a solid fantasy day. The Colts prefer to grind […]

Leonard Fournette Quiet Aside From 66-Yard Carry

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had a 66-yard run in the first quarter of Jacksonville's Week 8 win over the New York Jets, but Fournette ended up finishing with just 76 rushing yards on 19 carries, which means his other 18 carries went for a total of just 10 yards. Fournette did add seven […]

Brian Hill Scores His First Touchdown Of The Season

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill filled in as the team's No. 2 back behind Devonta Freeman in Week 8 as Ito Smith (concussion) was sidelined due to remaining in concussion protocol. Hill only saw three carries in the game, but made the most of them, gaining 29 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown run, his […]

Boston Scott Scores a Touchdown in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills. Scott ran the ball five times, gaining just six yards but running in a four yard score in the third quarter. Scott didn't do much with his other carries, but he looked […]

Miles Sanders Does a Lot on Just Six Touches in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders only handled six touches in Week 8, but he made the most of each one. Sanders ran the ball three times, gaining 74 yards and scoring a touchdown. He added three catches on three targets, picking up an additional 44 yards through the air. Sanders took a third […]

Devonta Freeman Tops 100 Total Yards In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was heavily featured against the Seahawks in Week 8. He had a total of 21 touches in the game, carrying the ball 13 times for 39 yards while catching all eight of his targets for 63 yards. Although he was unable to find the end zone, fantasy owners should […]

Jordan Howard Puts Together Another Strong Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard had another successful performance in Week 8, running the ball 23 times for 96 yards and a touchdown. He added one reception for 15 more yards. Howard's touchdown came on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter. Howard has blatantly established himself as the lead back for the Eagles, […]

Chase Edmonds Leaves Game Early Against Saints

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) left the game early in Week 8 against the Saints and needed assistance from the trainers to leave the field. He's questionable to return. After scoring three unexpected touchdowns in Week 7 when David Johnson (ankle, back) was active, Edmonds threw up a dud on Sunday against New […]

Miles Sanders Injured Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in Week 8 against the Bills and is questionable to return. His fantasy owners won't be complaining too much, though, as Sanders had three carries for 74 yards and a touchdown before departing. He also added three receptions for 44 yards in the passing […]

Rex Burkhead Active In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is active for Week 8 against the Browns. It'll be Burkhead's first time active since Week 4. He'll be third on the running back depth chart behind Sony Michel and James White, so he'll need positive game script in the second half to have a chance at […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Active Against Texans

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) and wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) are officially active in Week 8 against the Texans. Jacobs and Williams were both expected to play. The impressive rookie running back may be at risk of reduced snaps, but fantasy owners must still consider him a strong RB2 as the […]

Marquise Goodwin Out, Raheem Mostert Active

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) is not active for Week 8 against the Panthers, while running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is active. Goodwin just hasn't been a factor at all in 2019 for San Fran's run-first offense, and he's even more unattractive now in fantasy with Emmanuel Sanders set to take over […]

Kenyan Drake Won't Play Monday, Likely To Be Traded

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake did not travel with the team for Monday night's game against the Steelers, which is a clear sign that he'll likely be traded before Tuesday's deadline. Miami is hoping for a mid-round pick in return. Like the rest of the Dolphins offense, Drake has been a disappointment, rushing 47 […]

Rex Burkhead Expected To Play Against Browns

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot), who has missed the last three games, is expected to be active in Week 8 against the Browns, according to a source. That's bad news for both Sony Michel and James White, although Burkhead might still just be fighting for scraps as third on the team's running […]

Teams Interested In Rashaad Penny

The Seattle Seahawks have received calls on running back Rashaad Penny as the trade deadline approaches, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The former first-round pick has fallen well behind bell-cow Chris Carson, which has caused him to lose a lot of value, but the Seahawks still won't just give the young back away. Penny […]
