Tyreek Hill, Spencer Ware Miss Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist) and running back Spencer Ware (hamstring, shoulder) both missed practice on Monday. It's not a surprise, as both were dinged up in the Week 14 overtime win against the Ravens. Both might not practice much this week, but they are expected to be available in a […]

Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler Miss Practice Monday

Los Angeles Chargers running backs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) both missed practice on Monday. The Chargers are hoping Gordon can return from a two-game absence due to a knee sprain, but it's not a good start to the week. He could be a game-time decision on Thursday against the Chiefs. Ekeler […]

Austin Ekeler Unlikely To Play Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (neck) is extremely doubtful to play on Thursday against the Chiefs after suffering another stinger on an onside kick by the Bengals at the end of the Week 14 game. Ekeler is dealing with a bruised nerve in his neck. It sounds like it's painful, and on a […]

Rashaad Penny Active Against Vikings

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is active on Monday night against the Vikings. Penny saw a little more run in Week 13 with Chris Carson dislocating his index finger, rushing seven times for 65 yards and his second touchdown of the year. However, Carson is playing on Monday night and should remain […]

Chris Ivory Suffers Shoulder Injury

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory accumulated 42 yards on 12 carries in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Jets on Sunday. He was also targeted one time in the passing game. Ivory left the contest in the third quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. It was his most yards and carries since […]

Tyreek Hill Expected To Play Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he thinks wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) will play on Thursday against the Chargers. Hill was hobbled late in the Week 14 overtime win against the Ravens but remained in the game and made a crucial fourth-down catch late in regulation. He's unlikely to practice at all […]

LeSean McCoy Has Short Day Due To Hamstring Injury

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy tallied a single yard on two carries and was targeted once in Sunday's 27-23 loss to Jets. McCoy suffered a hamstring strain that forced him to leave the game in the opening quarter. According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the 30-year-old is day-to-day due to the injury. This […]

Jalen Richard Should Be OK For Week 15

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard (rib) was injured in the Week 14 win over the Steelers but should be OK, according to head coach Jon Gruden. Richard had nine touches on Sunday (eight carries for 24 yards and one catch for five yards) a week after rushing for a season-high 95 yards against the […]

Tarik Cohen Eclipses 1,000 All-Purpose Yards Against Rams

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen carried the ball nine times for 69 yards in the Bears 15-6 win over the Rams. The second-year speedster also caught four passes for 20 yards and now has 1,063 yards from scrimmage this season. Cohen is a game-breaker that can be lined up anywhere on the field and […]

LeSean McCoy Day-To-Day

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is being listed as day-to-day with a hamstring strain after undergoing an MRI exam, according to a source. His availability will be watched closely this week at practice. Shady was injured in the first quarter early in the Week 14 loss to the Jets and never returned. He […]

Jordan Howard Picks Up First 100-Yard Game Of Season

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 19 times for 101 yards in the Bears 15-6 win over the vaunted Rams. It was, by far, Howard's best performance of the season as the offense leaned on him on a night when quarterback Mitch Trubisky did not play well. The third-year running back didn't […]

Corey Clement Sprains Knee Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (knee) is believed to have suffered a knee sprain in the Week 14 loss to the Cowboys, according to a source. He will undergo an MRI exam Monday to confirm it, but the team is hoping it's not as bad as it looked. Knee sprains often sidelined players for […]

Chris Thompson Sees Just Six Touches On Sunday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson caught three passes and was given three carries against the Giants on Sunday. This marks the second game in a row in which Thompson was hardly a focal point of his team's offensive efforts. With so many things going wrong for the Redskins over the last month, one would […]

Adrian Peterson Ineffective Against Giants

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 10 times for 16 yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Giants. He was out-gained on the ground by Chris Thompson, who only had three carries, and Josh Johnson, the Redskins' fourth new quarterback in as many weeks. As Washington's season has come apart at the […]

Ty Montgomery Totals Two Whole Yards

Baltimore Ravens running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery touched the ball three times for a total of two yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs. He gained one yard on two carries and caught one of three targets for an additional yard. After touching the ball eight times in each of the last two […]

Kenneth Dixon Rumbles For Season-High 59 Yards

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon ran for a season-high 59 yards and a touchdown on eight attempts in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The third-year pro also caught one pass for 21 yards. While Gus Edwards is still the Ravens' featured back, Dixon continues to show why the Ravens to give him an opportunity. […]

Gus Edwards Runs For 67 Yards

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 67 yards on 16 carries in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The rookie entered the game with a slight ankle injury but that didn't seem to have an impact as he averaged 4.2 yards per carry and had four runs of five or more yards, including a […]

Tevin Coleman Plays Second Fiddle In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman ended up playing second fiddle to Ito Smith in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Coleman had 10 carries and 11 total touches compared to Smith's 11 and 14, respectively. Coleman was reasonably effective running the ball with 45 yards on his 10 carries. However, on his only […]

Ito Smith Returns Solid Week 14 Numbers

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith put up a solid fantasy day for his owners in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Smith actually led the Falcons backfield in carries with 11 carries for 60 yards, and he then added a further three receptions on four targets for 14 yards. The three receptions mean […]

Justin Jackson Held In Check By Cincy

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson looked the part on Sunday as he was held to just 21 rushing yards on seven carries against the Bengals. Jackson did have a 17-yard reception during one of LA’s early drives, but besides that, he was mostly quiet on the day. Most of Jackson’s opportunities came […]

Todd Gurley Is Shut Down In Week 14

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been a borderline MVP candidate all season long. Even when defenses scheme to stop him, he has been able to turn in a solid outing. In Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, that was not the case. Gurley finished with 11 carries for 28 yards to go […]

Chase Edmonds Falls Back To Earth In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds could not repeat his two-touchdown performance from Week 13 against a tough Lions defense. Edmonds had three rushes for 14 yards on the night and was largely held in reserve for running back David Johnson. Edmonds should not be rostered outside of the deepest formats and is does not […]

David Johnson Is Poor In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had another poor performance in a Week 14 loss to the Lions. Johnson had 15 carries for just 49 yards on the night and also caught eight catches (out of 10 targets) for a total of just 12 yards. Johnson may have saved himself in PPR formats, but the […]

Austin Ekeler Suffers Stinger In Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler suffered another stinger in the Week 14 win over the Bengals and will require further testing, according to a source. A short week against the Chiefs on Thursday might make it tough for Ekeler to be ready. After disappointing as the lead back in Week 13, Ekeler bounced […]

Nick Chubb Showing His Floor is Non-Existent

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb took a step back in production, getting only 13 carries for 66 yards versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. Chubb kept his hot streak of finding the end zone alive, tallying his fifth week in a row with a touchdown. This is also the second straight week that […]

Stevan Ridley Manages Short Score

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Stevan Ridley carried the ball five times for four yards and a touchdown in his team's 24-21 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 14. Ridley was not a factor in the passing game but he was called upon to punch in a two-yard score in the second quarter. While Ridley […]

Zach Zenner Scores First Touchdown Of Season Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back Zach Zenner rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries and scored his first touchdown of the season in the 17-3 win over the Cardinals. Since re-signing with the Lions earlier in the season and returning from injury in Week 9, Zenner has received breadcrumbs in the Lions rushing attack. However, that […]

Jaylen Samuels Shows Well In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels turned in a solid game in his team's 24-21 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 14. Samuels managed just 28 yards on 11 carries but he hauled in seven passes for 64 yards to finish second on the team in receiving. The rookie running back did get vultured […]

Theo Riddick Gets 10 Touches In Week 14

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick took six carries for 28 yards and caught all four of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. The 27-year-old still has yet to find pay dirt this season but continues to be a steady low-ceiling flex option in PPR leagues. Next week, the Lions […]

Royce Freeman Effective in Limited Action

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman picked up six yards per carry in the Broncos 20-14 loss to the 49ers Sunday. Only one problem, he received just six carries. With Phillip Lindsay taking over the No. 1 spot in this backfield, Freeman's fantasy value is all but vanquished as he receives minimal work in the […]
