Adrian Peterson Racks Up 81 Rushing Yards In Week 7

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson surprisingly totaled 81 yards on 20 carries against an elite defense in a game hampered by bad weather.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed 29 times for 131 yards in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also added 14 receiving yards on two catches. It was another solid outing from Fournette, who has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in four straight games. Fournette looks like a solid RB1 at this point […]

Devin Singletary Struggles In Week 7 Return

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary, who hadn't played since Week 2, struggled in his return to action this week. Singletary saw seven carries in the game and managed to gain just 26 yards, good for 3.7 yards per carry.

Duke Johnson Isn't Huge Factor In Week 7

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson wasn't a major piece of Houston's offense against the Colts in Week 7, though he did produce decent numbers on a per-play basis.

Carlos Hyde Disappoints Against Colts

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde struggled on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, producing just 35 yards on 12 carries. Hyde had been improving lately as Houston's main back, but the Colts Defense was just too much him as he struggled to find any running room. Hyde's always going to be a back with an […]

Jamaal Williams Scores Touchdown In Victory Over Raiders

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams caught a touchdown in the team's victory over the Oakland Raiders. Williams didn't get many opportunities in the game, rushing the ball three times for five yards and catching four of his five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown.

Marlon Mack Gets Muzzled In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was a workhorse in Week 6. In Week 7, the Houston Texans made it a top priority to slow him down. By the end of the day, he finished with 18 carries for 44 yards and three catches for 12 yards. The major key for Mack has usually been […]

Aaron Jones Catches Touchdown Pass In Victory Over Oakland

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones caught a receiving touchdown, saving his fantasy value in the team's victory over the Oakland Raiders.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley returned to action in Sunday's loss after missing three games with a sprained ankle.

Ito Smith Leaves Game In First Quarter With Head Injury

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (head) was carted off the field after sustaining an injury in pass protection.

The team's starting running […]

Devonta Freeman Struggles And Gets Ejected

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman wasn't able to do much with his nine touches in Week 7. His day was shortened when he was ejected early in the third quarter for throwing a punch at Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald. Freeman carried the ball seven times for 19 yards and caught two of his […]

Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley Back After Injury Scares

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram are both back after earlier injury scares. Barkley exited twice to have his ankle looked at while Engram was evaluated for a head/neck injury. Both injuries seemed to scare beat writers, but now both players are back on the field. The rain is […]

Devonta Freeman Ejected Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman was ejected from the Week 7 game against the Rams in the third quarter for throwing a punch during a scuffle. With Ito Smith also out with a head injury, it'll be Brian Hill and Kenjon Barner for the Falcons in the backfield the rest of the way. Hill […]

Matt Breida Injured Against Redskins

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (head) suffered a head injury in Week 7 against the Redskins and is being evaluated for a concussion.

Kerryon Johnson, Darius Slay Questionable To Return

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee), cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (undisclosed) were all injured in Week 7 against the Vikings and are questionable to return.

Ito Smith Carted Off The Field

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith was carted off the field in Week 7 against the Rams after being run over and slammed to the turf while trying to block a pass-rusher. It's unclear exactly what Smith's injury is, but he did hit his head hard on the turf when he landed. Consider him questionable […]

David Johnson Active, Christian Kirk Out

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) is active for Week 7 against the Giants, while wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will miss his third straight game.

Todd Gurley Officially Active Against Falcons

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (thigh) is officially active for Week 7 against the Falcons after sitting out last week. He's back in the RB2 mix in a good matchup against the Falcons, especially since backup Malcolm Brown (ankle) is inactive. Gurley should have a decent workload in this one, but rookie Darrell […]

Devin Singletary Officially Active For Week 7

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is officially active for Week 7 against the Dolphins. The matchup against Miami is as good as it gets, which immediately puts Singletary on the RB3/flex map in his return to action this weekend.
