Jacquizz Rodgers Vultures Peyton Barber's Day

Buccaneers third-down running back Jacquizz Rodgers stole the production from starting back Peyton Barber on Sunday. Rodgers didn't exactly usurp Barber but certainly was more effective throughout the game. Barber's inability to operate in open-space as a pass-catcher hurts his value. Rodgers is more fit for the 2-minute offense Tampa ran towards the end of […]

Week 16 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The (6-8) Denver Broncos and (3-11) Oakland Raiders have combined for fewer wins this season than 20-percent of the remaining teams in the NFL; individually. If we were somehow able to fuse quarterbacks Case Keenum and Derek Carr, the resulting Casrek Kerrum would have the same amount of touchdown passes as Andrew Luck and 11 […]

Darren Sproles Plays a Vintage Sproles Game in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles was vintage Darren Sproles in Week 16, running the ball nine times for 32 yards and adding three catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. Sproles missed a ton of games this season, but he's now scored three touchdowns in his past four games, making him an interesting flex […]

Josh Adams Does Next to Nothing in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams ran the ball 11 times, gaining just 21 yards in Sunday's win. He fumbled in the fourth quarter, nearly losing the game for his team. Adams barely showed up on fantasy scoreboards and has fallen into low-end flex status at best. He is not involved in the passing game […]

Ezekiel Elliott Totals 109 Yards on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott totaled 109 yards from scrimmage in a Week 15 win. He ran the ball 18 times for 85 yards and caught five passes for 24 more yards. "Zeke" didn't score in this one after the entire Cowboys offense was shut out last week. They haven't looked great the past […]

Chase Edmonds Disappoints In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds struggled in a backup role to fellow running back David Johnson in Week 16. Edmonds had four rushes for 20 yards on the night and a one yard reception through the air. Edmonds has minimal fantasy value heading into Week 17.

David Johnson Scores In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had a decent performance in Week 16. Although he only rushed for 35 yards on 10 carries, Johnson caught a 32 yard pass from wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald for the team's only touchdown. Johnson is a high-end RB2 heading into Week 17.

Jaylen Samuels Scores In Loss

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels carried the ball 12 times for 53 yards in a 31-28 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also added 11 yards and a touchdown on three receptions. While it wasn't a huge day for Samuels, he showed well in a matchup against one of the […]

Alvin Kamara Scores Twice In Saints Win

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara caught four passes for 82 receiving yards but added two rushing touchdowns in the Saints 31-28 win over the Steelers. Kamara managed only 23 yards on the ground but made the most of it as he now has 14 rushing touchdowns this season and 18 overall. The Saints […]

Mark Ingram Rushes For Touchdown In Victory

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram managed only 35 rushing yards but added his sixth touchdown of the season in the Saints Week 16 win over the Steelers. Ingram got the Saints on the board in the first quarter with a 1-yard plunge for the score and now has seven total touchdowns in 11 […]

Theo Riddick Silenced Against Vikings

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick received just three carries for two yards, while also catching four passes for a measly seven yards. This was one of the worst games of the season for the pass-catching back but it doesn't help his case that the offense has been down right awful recently. He typically has […]

Zach Zenner Leads Team With 45 Rushing Yards

Detroit Lions running back Zach Zenner toted the ball eight times for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He also caught two passes for 22 yards in the loss. Zenner has been very active since Kerryon Johnson got injured a few weeks back, and has been splitting carries with LeGarrette Blount. […]

Tarik Cohen Musters Only 19 Total Yards In Win

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen was held to only 19 all-purpose yards in the Bears 14-9 win over the 49ers. Cohen was barely featured early on and it appeared that the speedster was being deployed as a decoy at times to run reverse plays. Cohen has been a dynamic force this season but has […]

LeGarrette Blount Has 13 Touches Against Vikings

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount took 11 carries for 29 yards and caught just two of four targets for negative five yards. He led the team in carries but it was Zach Zenner that made the most of his opportunities, rushing for 45 yards. Blount isn't a viable fantasy option due to the emergence […]

Jordan Howard Punches In Seventh Touchdown Of Season

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 13 times for 53 yards and added 17 receiving yards in the Bears 14-9 win over the 49ers. Howard also punched in his seventh touchdown of the season, a short yardage run that put the Bears up for good. Howard has been disappointing from a fantasy […]

Saquon Barkley Scores 14th Touchdown Of Season In Loss

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley racked up 77 yards from scrimmage, including his 14th total touchdown of the season, in the Giants loss to the Colts in Week 16. There was little space to run for the rookie most of the game but still managed to find the end zone. Barkley has enjoyed […]

Nyheim Hines Turns A Solid Outing

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has limited value in the running game, which was evident on Sunday with two carries for two yards with a touchdown. In PPR formats, he had four catches for 41 yards which led him to a solid RB2 stat line. When the team has to throw a lot, as […]

Marlon Mack Salvages A Day With A Touchdown

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had an inefficient day with 12 carries for 34 yards, but he salvaged it with one touchdown. He also added one catch for four yards. Mack dealt with game script issues when the team got down big early. They had to storm back with a lot of throwing, which […]

Kenyan Drake Totals 54 Yards In Loss Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was the team's most involved running back in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville in Week 16. 'Unfortunately, being the team's most involved back didn't amount to much today. Drake rushed six times for 23 yards and caught four passes for 31 yards. The Dolphins offense was downright anemic in […]

James White Scores 11th Touchdown Of Season

New England Patriots running back James White sprinted for a 27-yard touchdown, his 11th total score of the year, in the Patriots 24-14 win over the Bills. White racked 54 all-purpose yards in the game and scored the first time since Week 9. It has been a career season for the veteran but has struggled […]

Sony Michel Posts 116 Rushing Yards Against Bills

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 18 times for 116 yards, including a touchdown, in the Patriots 24-14 win over the Bills. The rookie running back gashed the Bills continuously throughout the game and delivered a huge performance for fantasy owners during championship weekend. The Patriots offense is at its best […]

Kalen Ballage Disappoints In Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage had an underwhelming day in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville. Coming off a 123, one touchdown performance big things were expected of Ballage in this game. Instead he rushed just four times for 10 yards and caught two passes for 39 yards. The Dolphins offense was pitiful in this […]

Tevin Coleman Injures Groin

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (groin) left the game early in the second half with a groin injury in Week 16 against the Panthers and is questionable to return. Late in the game, we'd be surprised if Coleman returns in a meaningless game. As he often does, Coleman was a bust in a lead-back […]

Jamaal Williams In Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) is in the concussion protocol in Week 16 against the Jets and is questionable to return. The good news is that those that started Williams in the fantasy finals were rewarded before his injury, as he ran the ball 10 times for 70 yards and a touchdown […]

Todd Gurley Ruled Out Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Cardinals, according to a source. Gurley's owners will be seriously depressed as they try to win a fantasy title without him this weekend. You'll have to find a backup plan for the afternoon slate. Justin Davis is active, […]

T.J. Yeldon A Healthy Scratch

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon is a healthy scratch in Week 16 against the Dolphins. Rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) and kicker Josh Lambo (groin) also remain out. Last week Carlos Hyde was a healthy scratch, but this week it's Yeldon. Hyde and rookie David Williams will back up Leonard Fournette, but neither […]

Chris Ivory, Charles Clay Inactive

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) and tight end Charles Clay are inactive for Week 16 against the Patriots. Ivory practiced in full late in the week, so it's a surprise that he's not playing. With LeSean McCoy back as the lead ball carrier, rookie Keith Ford should back up Shady against New England. […]

Kenny Golladay, Matthew Stafford, LeGarrette Blount Active

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest), quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) and running back LeGarrette Blount (calf) are all active in Week 16 against the Vikings despite being questionable to play. Golladay is the lone offensive weapon that fantasy owners can start during championship weekend, even in a tough matchup. Stafford continues to play through […]

Spencer Ware Ruled Out In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Seahawks. Ware was doubtful to begin with, so fantasy owners weren't counting on him anyway. Damien Williams saw the most carries last Thursday with Ware out and should do so again. Williams had two touchdowns on the […]

Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Ruled Out

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) have both officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Eagles. It's a tough break for Miller owners in the fantasy finals after he was injured early in Week 15. In his absence, Alfred Blue should lead this backfield in […]
