Rashaad Penny Expected To Play This Week

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) "will be ready to go this week" against the Rams after missing the last two games with a hamstring strain. The Seahawks face the Rams this Thursday night, so it still remains to be seen if Penny will actually be active. Even […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Miss Practice Monday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (head, neck) both missed practice on Monday after being injured last Thursday night. Both Adams and Williams are questionable, at best, to suit up in Week 5 against the Cowboys. Making things even more difficult for fantasy owners is the fact that […]

Saquon Barkley Considered Week-To-Week

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) "is eager and champing at the bit to get back," but the coach still considers Barkley "week-to-week." Barkley is already out of his walking boot and thinks he'll return on the short end of his four- to eight-week timetable, but it remains […]

Saquon Barkley Already Out Of Walking Boot

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is already out of his walking boot. Barkley said this weekend that he thinks he can be back sooner than his four- to eight-week timetable for a high ankle sprain, and this news seems to confirm that sentiment. However, the Giants will be extremely cautious with their […]

C.J. Prosise Squeaks In A Touchdown

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise got the call with Rashaad Penny declared inactive once again on Sunday, and this time Prosise found his way into the end zone. Prosise got tagged for a carry from nine yards out and squeezed through a nearly non-existent hole to slip all the way through the defense and […]

Chris Carson Pounds The Cardinals

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson didn't have any fumble issues on Sunday. After suffering a terrible string of fumbles so far this season, Carson and a host of Seattle teammates were peppered with questions about them all week. Everyone steadfastly told reporters that the team was committed to Carson, and they wanted him to […]

Troymaine Pope Snags TD On Sunday

In a rare opportunity, Los Angeles Chargers running back Troymaine Pope got the chance to see some offensive snaps when Justin Jackson wasn't able to go against the Dolphins. Pope was immediately integrated into the offense like he'd always been there, carrying the ball 10 times and grabbing both passes sent his way, one of […]

Austin Ekeler Lights Up The Dolphins

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler went off on Miami, racking up two touchdowns and 122 all-purpose yards on Sunday afternoon. Ekeler was getting one of his final chances to start after Melvin Gordon ended his holdout this week, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. Ekeler finished with 60 yards on the […]

Malcolm Brown Does Very Little

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed five times for 14 yards in the Week 4 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown has done very little since his two-touchdown effort in Week 1. At this point, he's just a handcuff to running back Todd Gurley and shouldn't be considered for your lineups Thursday […]

Todd Gurley Scores Twice

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed just five times for 16 yards, but he was able to reach the end zone twice against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught seven balls for 54 yards. While the rushing numbers are discouraging, he made the most of them with the two scores. He had […]

David Johnson Has Solid Performance

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed 11 times for 40 yards and caught eight passes for 99 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He's still having issues finding holes on the ground, but he continues to find ways to contribute. This time he did it without reaching the end zone. […]

Tony Pollard Doesn't Record an Offensive Stat in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard did not record an offensive stat in a Week 4 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Cowboys gave running back Ezekiel Elliott 18 carries, and he picked up just 35 yards against a tough Saints Defense. Pollard was able to score a touchdown and gain over 100 yards […]

Ezekiel Elliott Slowed Down by the Saints in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown but didn't do much else in a Week 4 loss against the New Orleans Saints. Elliott ran the ball 18 times for just 35 yards. His touchdown came on a third quarter plunge from the one-yard line. He was able to add 30 yards on six […]

Latavius Murray Finishes With Five Touches in Week 4

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has been unable to make much noise since his Week 1 performance. Losing quarterback Drew Brees may have changed the gameplan for the Saints, but Murray looks lost right now. He rushed four times for 14 yards in the 12-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught one […]

Alvin Kamara is Held in Check by Cowboys

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was held in check during the 12-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Kamara rushed 17 times for 69 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He also caught three passes for 20 yards in the passing game. He's seen less production with Teddy […]

Royce Freeman Continues Recent Struggles

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman started the 2019 season with hopes of slowly taking teammate Phillip Lindsay's starting job. Unfortunately for Freeman, the opposite has progressed throughout the season and Lindsay is continuing to lead in offensive volume. Freeman had a disappointing performance this week, as he only had six carries for 16 yards […]

Phillip Lindsay Disappoints In Week 4

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay had a disappointing game on Sunday afternoon, as the entire run game struggled against a stout Jacksonville defensive line. Lindsay was the feature back for the offense for the second week in a row, as he led the team with nine carries for an efficient 53 yards. The sophomore […]

Tarik Cohen Continues to Struggle

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen has not been able to find any room to run during the first four games of the season. Cohen rushed five times for 11 yards in the 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Cohen caught two passes for seven yards and a touchdown in the passing […]

David Montgomery Rushes 21 Times in Victory

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery was a focal point of the offense during the 16-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Montgomery rushed 21 times for 53 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He also caught three passes for 14 yards through the air. It appears the Bears were […]

Ryquell Armstead Catches First Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead scored his first career touchdown on Sunday against the Broncos, grabbing a seven-yard pass from quarterback Gardner Minshew. Armstead also had eight carries for 42 yards. It was a strong performance, but it only happened because the Jaguars were playing in the thin air of Denver and needed to […]

Leonard Fournette Rushes For 225 Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette ran wild against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, finishing with 225 yards on 29 carries. He also added 20 receiving yards on two receptions. It was a crazy performance from Fournette, and while he didn't find the end zone, he showed what the ideal version of this Jaguars offense […]

Dion Lewis Held To 20 Yards In Week 4

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was once again held in check, rushing four times for 16 yards and catching all four of his targets for four yards. Lewis continues to operate as the clear backup to Derrick Henry, who rushed the ball 27 times this week. Lewis is not deserving of a roster spot […]

Derrick Henry Hits 100 Yards In Week 4

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had another solid outing on the ground, rushing 27 times for 100 yards in a win against the Atlanta Falcons. Despite an impressive rushing total, Henry still remained a non-factor in the passing game, catching one of two targets for just eight yards. Henry's rushing volume and touchdown upside […]

Kerryon Johnson Breaks Out With 125 Rushing Yards In Week 4

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson shouldered a heavy workload in Week 4 and delivered in a big way. He rushed the ball 26 times for a season-high 125 yards and added two catches for 32 yards. Johnson was averaging just 2.6 yards per carry entering the game, but was able to find much more […]

Chris Thompson Catches Four Passes Against Giants

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson was targeted five times, hauling in four of them for 56 yards. He also saw four carries, but only converted them into four total yards. Thompson was the only Redskins offensive player to show even a shred of life in a loss that virtually signaled the end of their […]

Adrian Peterson Continues To Be Ineffective

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed 11 times for 28 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants. For the third straight game, Peterson was completely ineffective on the ground. Including Week 1's dud from Derrius Guice, it's four straight games of a virtually nonexistent rushing attack from the Redskins. Peterson would qualify as droppable […]

T.J. Yeldon Has Season-High 68 Receiving Yards In Week 4

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon was heavily involved in the passing game in Week 4. He caught all four of his targets and gained 68 yards through the air on the day. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found in the running game as lead running back Frank Gore received all 17 rushing attempts […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Strong Week 4

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey was the definition of a workhorse, carrying the ball 27 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and also adding 86 receiving yards while catching all 10 of his targets. Houston has a solid defense and held McCaffrey to 3.4 yards per carry, but the Panthers back is going […]

Sony Michel Logs 63 Yards In Buffalo

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 17 times for 63 scoreless yards in a win at Buffalo. Michel didn't put up the numbers fantasy owners expect, but it was a good sign to see the second-year pro carry get 17 carries while no one else on New England had more than […]
