Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

The better part of seven weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse. One must still consider the matchups played thus far and those to come, but usage and volume are becoming reliable. Week 8 sees the Ravens and Cowboys hit their bye week. To […]

Gus Edwards Has Little Impact In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards carried the ball 8 times for 35 yards in Sunday's Week 7 win against Seattle. Edwards has 52 rushing attempts for 234 yards but has failed to get into the end zone in 2019. Edwards is the clear handcuff to Mark Ingram with Justice Hill barely getting touches, but […]

Justice Hill Not Involved In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill returned two kicks for 21 yards but did not record a carry in Sunday's Week 7 win against the Seahawks. Hill has 18 rushing attempts for 78 yards in 2019 and has been a non-factor in fantasy. In the event that running back Mark Ingram misses time, it will […]

That […]

Rashaad Penny Invisible Against The Ravens

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny did not get a single touch during a 30-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. Penny missed Week 6 due to a hamstring injury but was a full participant in practice ahead of the game against the Ravens. Chris Carson is unquestionably the feature back in the […]

Chris Carson Produces 65 Rushing Yards In Sloppy Week 7 Loss

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson tallied 65 yards on 21 carries during a 30-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. He also caught three passes for nine yards in the loss. It was a sloppy game for both offenses, as heavy rain debilitated the impact of skill players. Carson had three-straight games […]

T.J. Yeldon Inactive In Week 7

The Buffalo Bills made running back T.J. Yeldon inactive in Week 7 with the return of rookie running back Devin Singletary. While the fact that Yeldon wasn't even active was a bit of a surprise, it's been clear since Week 1 that he's the team No. 3 running back behind Frank Gore and Singletary. Yeldon […]

Tony Pollard Sees Eight Carries in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard notched eight carries in a Week 7 blowout win over the division rival Philadelphia Eagles. Pollard's eight carries were well behind starter Ezekiel Elliott's 22, but he was still able to pick up 28 yards. Pollard has shown well while on the field, but he won't be able […]

Ezekiel Elliott Runs for Over 100 Yards in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 22 times for 111 yards and a touchdown in Week 7, adding six catches for 36 more yards. Elliott was most of the Cowboys offense in this one, and was more than what they needed against a struggling Eagles team. Elliott ceded eight carries to rookie […]

Kalen Ballage Vultures a Touchdown in Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage only had three carries for seven yards in a 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but two of them came inside Buffalo's five-yard line, with Ballage cashing in the second of the two for a three-yard touchdown. Ballage was far out-touched by Mark Walton and Kenyan Drake […]

Boston Scott Gets Seven Carries in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott tallied seven carries in Week 7, gaining 32 yards. He also caught his lone target, picking up five more yards. Scott actually ended up with just one touch less than Miles Sanders. With the Eagles taking on a similarly tough Bills Defense in Week 8, Scott won't be worth […]

Miles Sanders Can't Do Much in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders struggled along with the rest of the Eagles offense in Week 7. Sanders ran the ball six times for 21 yards, adding three catches for 11 more yards. Sanders ran behind starter Jordan Howard, and should continue in that set up for the near future. He's barely a […]

Jordan Howard Leads the Eagles Backfield Yet Again

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard did as asked in Week 7, running the ball 11 times for 50 yards. He added two catches for six more yards. Howard didn't have a ton of room to run, but he out-touched Miles Sanders 13-to-9, again solidifying his spot atop the Philly running back depth chart. The […]

Mark Walton Gets His First Start in Loss

Getting the surprise start on Sunday in an eventual 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton finished with 66 yards on 14 carries, adding one reception that lost eight yards. Walton’s 14 carries easily topped Drake’s six, as it seems that the latter is on his way to being traded […]

Kenyan Drake Logs Only Six Carries in Loss

Likely in a move to limit his usage in anticipation of a trade, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was mostly absent in a 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. With Mark Walton getting the surprise start, Drake didn’t get his first carry until near the end of the first quarter and ended […]

Mark Ingram Has Just 13 Touches

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram carried the ball just 12 times in Week 7 for 46 yards and no touchdowns. Ingram added one catch for seven yards in the passing game in what ended up being a slow day for the ball carrier. The Ravens Defense came to play on Sunday, scoring two touchdowns, […]

Dion Lewis Gets One Touch In Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis had only one carry for minus two yards and no receptions in the team's 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. Lewis has seen his role completely vanish in this offense, with Derrick Henry receiving 23 touches and the same amount of targets in the passing […]

Derrick Henry Has Big Day In Week 7 Win

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 22 times for 90 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-20 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Henry also added one reception for 18 yards. It was another solid fantasy outing for Henry, who has found the end zone in all but two of the team's games […]

Latavius Murray Explodes For 150 Yards, Two Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was excellent in his team's 36-25 victory over the Chicago Bears. Filling in for injured starter Alvin Kamara (ankle), the 29-year-old Murray rolled for 119 rushing yards on 27 carries and punched in two goal-line scores. Murray was a physical runner throughout the game, bouncing off tackles. The […]

Tarik Cohen Tallies Nine Receptions Against Saints

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught nine passes for only 19 yards in the Bears 36-25 letdown loss against the Saints. Cohen also carried the ball three times for 10 yards in a game that featured a stagnant Bears offense. For three quarters, the Bears couldn't move the ball and Cohen's receptions led to […]

David Montgomery Disappears In Loss

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery totaled only six rushing yards in the Bears 36-25 drubbing by the Saints in Week 7. Montgomery added two receptions for 13 yards but saw only two carries in the game. The Bears offense was a mess from the jump and the team totaled only seven rushing attempts in […]

Tevin Coleman Continues Leading Backfield

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman converted 20 carries into 62 yards, also recording two catches for negative one yard in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. Coleman wasn’t efficient, but continued dominating touches over backfield mate Matt Breida by a 22-9 margin. Coleman’s been used as a workhorse since returning from an ankle […]

Alexander Mattison Has Quiet Game In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison carried seven times for 18 yards (2.6 yards per carry) in Week 7's 42-30 win over the Detroit Lions. Mattison took a clear back seat in this one as Dalvin Cook carried 25 times for 142 yards and two touchdowns. Mattison was also not targeted in the passing game. […]

Matt Breida Held In Check

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida handled eight totes for 44 yards and added a one-yard grab in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. Discouragingly, Breida was thoroughly out-touched 22-9 by backfield mate Tevin Coleman, who raced for 62 yards of his own. Breida did miss a handful of snaps while being evaluated for […]

Giovani Bernard Barely Involved Once Again

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard finished with no yards on four attempts in addition to four yards off of two receptions against the Jaguars in Week 7. As the team's offensive woes continue, the veteran is having one of his worst seasons as a professional. As the Bengals continue to be plagued with a […]

Joe Mixon Scores A Touchdown Against Jags

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon rushed for just two yards on 10 attempts against the Jaguars on Sunday. While he was able to bring in a two-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Andy Dalton, it was a disappointing outing overall for those who were hoping for a turnaround in Week 7. With the Bengals unable […]
