Kenneth Dixon Has Solid Performance
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon garnered 48 yards on 11 carries to go along with one reception for two yards in Sunday's (20-12) victory over the Buccaneers. It marks another solid performance for the 24-year-old backup, who has accumulated 107 yards on 19 attempts over the last two games. His workload was the most […]
Gus Edwards Back Over 100 Yards Rushing Mark
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards racked up 104 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries in Sunday's (20-12) victory over the Buccaneers.

Nick Chubb Hits Cold Patch, Looks to Bounce Back
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb had another high-production day during Week 15, as he ran the ball 20 times for 100 yards. Chubb's value was hurt in most leagues, as he struggled to find the end zone for the first time in what seems like an eternity and he did not haul in a […]
Duke Johnson Struggling to Find his Role in Cleveland
Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson rushed for 28 yards and caught four passes for 25 more yards in a Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. This was one of Johnson's better performances in recent weeks, but he barely put up flex numbers that most owners would be content with. The former lead running back […]
Wendell Smallwood Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood scored two touchdowns in Week 15. He ran the ball 10 times, gaining 48 yards. With starter Josh Adams struggling, Smallwood saw a lot more of the field than he had in recent weeks. He was able to vulture two short scores and may see an increased role going […]
Josh Adams Struggles but Scores a Touchdown in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams had a hard time getting anything going on Sunday night, running the ball 15 times for just 28 yards.

Todd Gurley Finishes Strong In Week 15
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley didn't have his best day on the ground due to the team falling behind big in Week 15. He did show off his dual-threat ability with 10 catches for 76 yards to go along with 12 carries for 48 yards and two touchdowns. Gurley is the engine that […]
Zach Zenner Scores In Week 15
Detroit Lions running back Zach Zenner took 10 carries for 45 yards, while also finding pay dirt in the loss to the Bills on Sunday. The score was Zenner's second on the season and the second in consecutive weeks. He also caught three passes in the game, but didn't net any positive yardage. The 27-year-old […]
LeGarrette Blount Lays An Egg Against Bills
Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount took seven carries for just nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills. This continues a trend downward for Blount, as both Zach Zenner and Theo Riddick have been receiving the bulk of the rushing work. The bruising back heavily relies on volume to produce, so on an offense […]
Theo Riddick Sees 10 Touches In Week 15
Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick rushed for 47 yard on just eight carries, while also hauling in two passes for a paltry nine yards in the loss to the Bills on Sunday. Riddick has seen an increase in carries the past three games which typically would help increase his floor; however, it has taken […]
Peyton Barber Scores TD in Week 15
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had one of his better rushing games of the season versus the Ravens in Week 15. Barber rushed 19 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the 20-12 loss. This was a nice game for Barber, but he hasn't been reliable in fantasy football this season. Fantasy […]
Todd Gurley Injured Sunday Night
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) is questionable to return in the second half on Sunday night against the Eagles. The Rams offense runs through Gurley, so they'd be in trouble if this is a serious injury, as would his fantasy owners. The good news is Gurley had already carried the ball 11 […]
Jaylen Samuels Dominates Patriots In Week 15
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels turned in a dominant performance in a Week 15 win over the New England Patriots.

It all depends […]
Matt Breida Aggravates Ankle Injury Against Seattle
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) aggravated his ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 15 overtime win over the Seahawks.

Sony Michel Grinds Out 59 Rushing Yard In Loss
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 13 times for 59 yards in the Patriots 17-10 loss to the Steelers. Michel averaged 4.5 yards per carry but his snap-count went down with James White and Rex Burkhead also sharing time in the backfield. The rookie running back put together some solid runs […]
James White Held In Check By Steelers
New England Patriots running back James White totaled only 37 yards from scrimmage in the Patriots loss to the Steelers in Week 15. White lost snaps to running back Rex Burkhead and the Steelers defense has been fantastic at stopping running backs in the passing game. Both of these factors led to another down performance […]
Jeffery Wilson Plays Up-And-Down Game
San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson rushed seven times for 46 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. With Matt Breida (ankle) healthy, Wilson returned to a complementary role. Despite some flashes, he hurt his own cause by coughing up a fumble, dropping an easy pass and committing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Wilson […]
Matt Breida Retakes Lead Role
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) grinded out 50 yards on 17 carries and caught five passes for 46 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Ezekiel Elliott Makes the Only Noise for the Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was the only watchable player on the Cowboys offense in Week 15. His team was held scoreless, but Elliott ran the ball 18 times for 87 yards and caught seven passes for 41 more yards. The Cowboys only got near the end zone once and Elliott was stuffed on […]
Jalen Richard Hauls In Five Catches During Loss
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard posted decent fantasy numbers in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

Richard did lose a fumble in this game, which was one of two lost […]
Doug Martin Unable To Produce In Loss
Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was held in check all day against the Bengals and unable to post solid fantasy numbers against the Bengals.

Jamaal Williams Moves Into Starting Role
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams assumed starting duties following an injury to running back Aaron Jones (knee) in a Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Williams began the season as the starter but was underwhelming and eventually ceded most of his touches to Jones. Jones is feared to have sprained his MCL […]
Chase Edmonds Plays In Backup Role In Week 15
Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds saw a fair bit of action despite the team losing to the Falcons in Week 15. Edmonds had eight carries for 22 yards and caught two passes for another 22 yards through the air. Edmonds has shown in flashes as a rookie but still has minimal fantasy value because […]
David Johnson Is Mediocre In Week 15
Arizona Cardinals quarterback David Johnson had a mediocre Week 15 performance. Johnson rushed just 11 times for 33 and a touchdown on the night and also had three catches for 68 yards on six targets. Although this is better than Johnson has performed in recent weeks, he is still playing on an anemic offense and […]
Aaron Jones Believed To Have Sprained MCL
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) is believed to have sprained his MCL in a Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Jordan Howard Scores Sixth Touchdown Of Season
Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 19 times for 60 yards in the Bears 24-17 win over the Packers. Once again, Howard did most of his damage in the first half, punctuated by his sixth touchdown of the season in the first quarter. The Bears tend to veer away from the running […]
Nyheim Hines Quiet In Week 15
The Indianapolis Colts won 23-0 in Week 15, but rookie running back Nyheim Hines didn't get a ton of love in the action. He finished with six carries for 19 yards to go with four catches for 45 yards. When fellow running back Marlon Mack is running effectively, Hines sees a very limited workload, which […]
Marlon Mack Leads Team In Week 15 Win
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had a tough matchup in Week 15. He didn't care, as he ran all over the Dallas Cowboys to the tune of 27 carries for 139 yards with two touchdowns along with one catch for 10 yards. When the Colts are able to get a lead and control the […]
Latavius Murray Bounces Back With Strong Performance
Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray picked up 68 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries during a Week 15 win over the Miami Dolphins.
