Duke Johnson Sees Two Touches In Loss

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson caught two passes for 12 yards in a 29-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Johnson's usage in this one is a bit baffling as the Browns were trailing by a lot for much of the game. While the game script set up well for a pass-catching […]

David Johnson Is Mediocre In Week 13

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had a mediocre Week 13 performance against the Packers. Johnson had 20 carries for 69 yards as well as one reception for three yards in a game that saw rookie Chase Edmonds make a splash in the ground game. Johnson is still an RB2 going forward, but it looks […]

Alfred Blue Has 54 Rushing Yards In Week 13

Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue continued to see double-digit touches in the Texans win against the Browns, and he continued to not do much with those touches.

Rex Burkhead Returns With 41 All-Purpose Yards

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead returned to the lineup in Week 13 with seven carries for 20 yards and 21 receiving yards against the Vikings. Burkhead has missed most of the season due to a neck injury but his legs looked fresh as he ran with authority. It is hard to envision a […]

Lamar Miller Has Another 100-Yard Game

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller rushed for 103 yards on 19 carries in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. He added 12 yards on one reception.

New England Patriots running back James White caught seven passes for 92 yards in the Patriots 24-10 win over the Vikings.

LeGarrette Blount Average In Week 13 Loss

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount toted 16 carries for 61 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. The game was a lot closer than many had anticipated, with LA just leading by three at 16-13 heading into the final quarter, meaning Blount was a bigger part of the game plan. Interestingly enough, fellow back […]

Packers Fire Mike McCarthy

The Green Bay Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy after their 20-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 13. Joe Philbin will serve as the interim head coach for the final four games of what has become a lost season for Green Bay.

Nyheim Hines Recaptures Relevance In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines showed the value that he can have when the offense utilizes his strengths.

The Bears overcame a […]

Jamaal Williams Unable to Cash In On Opportunities

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams was unable to convert his opportunities in Week 13 into much production. With cold and snowy playing conditions and against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has struggled versus the run, Green Bay clearly wanted to focus its offensive attack around the running game. This meant that Williams actually […]

Touchdown Salvages Day For Aaron Jones

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 36 yards on 11 attempts and caught four passes for 16 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. A touchdown in the fourth quarter salvaged his day for fantasy purposes. Arizona has a very shaky run defense that Jones and Green Bay should […]
