Melvin Gordon To Miss A Few Weeks

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain that he suffered in the Week 12 blowout win over the Cardinals, according to sources. He will miss the next few weeks but should be back before the end of the regular season, barring any setbacks. It's a […]

Elijah McGuire is Quiet in Week 12

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire rushed six times for 19 yards and caught one pass for seven yards in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots. Isaiah Crowell is the lead back for the Jets, but he only saw six rushing attempts as well. Quarterback Josh McCown threw 45 times during Week 12, […]

Isaiah Crowell is Disappointing in Week 12

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell continued his disappointing season in Week 12 versus the Patriots. Crowell rushed six times for 30 yards and caught three passes for 30 yards through the air. He's battling Elijah McGuire for playing time, so both players don't have great fantasy value. Quarterback Josh McCown threw 45 times […]

Joe Mixon Does Everything in Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was one of the few bright spots for the Bengals during the Week 12 loss to the Browns. He rushed 14 times for 89 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 66 yards through the air. It's surprising that Mixon was involved that much with the Bengals […]

Javorius Allen A Non-Factor

Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen carried the ball once for two yards in Sunday's victory over the Raiders. It was the second straight week that the 27-year-old received one touch as he wasn't targeted yet again. This is quite a turn of fortunes for the fourth-year pro as he shared the Ravens' backfield workload […]

Gus Edwards Tops 100 Yards Rushing Against Raiders

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards set a new career high with 118 rushing yards on 21 carries in Sunday's 34-17 victory over the Raiders. It was the rookie's second consecutive game topping the 100-yard mark, becoming the first Ravens' player since Justin Forsett accomplished the feat in 2015. The 23-year-old has racked up 233 […]

Chris Carson Sticks The Landing

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson didn't post great stats on Sunday, but he'll be the talk of the town anyway. As has become popular in recent years, Carson attempted to hurdle a defender who went low for the tackle, but Carson didn't quite clear the tackle. Instead, he clipped the top of the defender […]

Justin Jackson Shines In Surprise Role

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson finally had the chance to see some action on Sunday, and he looked great. The seventh-round pick carried the ball seven times for 57 yards, racking up an incredible 8.1 YPC. The seven carries were more than he's tallied in the rest of the season combined, and […]

Austin Ekeler Hauls In 10 Passes

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was the team's most targeted receiver on Sunday as he brought in 10 passes for 68 yards. Ekeler also toted the ball five times for 35 yards and a touchdown, and he looks to be the new starter as Melvin Gordon is sidelined with an MCL injury. Ekeler […]

Peyton Barber Shows Signs of Life on Sunday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber found the end zone once again as he wrangled himself another decent fantasy outing. Barber rushed 18 times for 47 yards, caught two passes for 16 yards to go along with his touchdown, rewarding any brave owner who dared trek into starting him. Barber is an RB3 with minimal upside […]

Chase Edmonds Disappoints In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had almost no impact on the team's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Edmonds finished the day with five carries for zero yards. It is clear that Edmonds has no value as long as the majority of the touches on the team's offense go through fellow running back David […]

David Johnson Does What He Can In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson made the most of his limited opportunities in Week 12. The running back had 17 carries for 63 yards as well as two receptions for 16 yards through the air. Although his talent is undeniable, the Cardinals offense is seriously hindering the production of Johnson, making him a high-end […]

Corey Clement Gets Seven Touches in Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times on Sunday, gaining 45 yards. He added two catches for 31 yards. Starter Josh Adams missed some time with a shoulder injury, giving Clement a chance to work in the backfield. Adams has completely taken over the Eagles backfield, leaving Clement as a deep […]

Josh Adams Works as the Bell Cow in the Eagles Backfield

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams ran the ball 22 times for 84 yards in a Week 12 win against the Giants. He was only targeted once and could not come up with the catch. Adams was gradually getting more and more touches over the past few games, but he completely took over in Week […]

Dalvin Cook Utilized In Passing Game

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook tallied 76 all-purpose yards and a receiving touchdown during a 24-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. Cook showed off his explosiveness during his 26-yard touchdown reception. The sophomore back is a fantastic playmaker that is gaining a bigger role in the offense. Cook has put […]

Leonard Fournette Scores Twice, Gets Ejected

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 18 carries in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The second-year back added 13 receiving yards on three catches as well, but fantasy owners missed out on a chance for more from Fournette when he was ejected in the […]

Melvin Gordon Has MCL Injury

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) is dealing with an MCL injury after leaving the Week 12 win over the Cardinals in the third quarter, according to a source. Gordon will be re-evaluated on Monday, but there is a real possibility that he will miss next Sunday night's game against the Steelers. Gordon […]

James Conner Catches Four Passes

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner rushed 13 times for 53 yards and added four receptions for 42 yards in a Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. Conner was held out of the end zone for the second straight game on an afternoon where the Steelers passed the ball 56 times, leaving him as […]

Duke Johnson Struggles Again In Week 12

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson posted an underwhelming stat line versus the Bengals with just two carries for 16 yards as well as one reception for 23 yards. The efficiency was there for Johnson, but the volume was more than lacking. Fellow running back Nick Chubb has started to emerge as a rising star and […]

Royce Freeman Missing in Action

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman received just six carries Sunday - resulting in a less than impressive 17 yards. Fellow RB-mate Phillip Lindsay is running away with this job like he stole it which has relegated Freeman to a touchdown-dependent, last resort, flex option at this point. But, on the bright side, Freeman and […]

Nyheim Hines Shows Some Life In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a quiet breakout at the beginning of the season. He then went dormant before showing some signs of life in Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins. He finished with nine carries for 28 yards to go with two catches for 22 yards. These numbers weren't eye-popping, but it's […]

Marlon Mack Puts Up Modest Stat Line

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was looking to bounce back after a quiet few weeks. He was having a decent day before he left the game with a concussion, as he finished with 15 carries for 85 yards to go with two catches for 11 yards. Mack had multiple carries of 20-plus yards, which […]

Phillip Lindsay Continues Impressive Rookie Campaign

If not for Saquon Barkley, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay would easily be the favorite for Rookie Running Back of the Year (no that's not a thing). Lindsay continued his impressive rookie campaign by turning 14 carries into 110 yards and a TD against a Steelers defense which had held opposing RBs to a […]

Ty Montgomery Finally Makes Contribution

Baltimore Ravens running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery had a season-high 51 rushing yards on eight carries in Sunday's 34-17 victory over the Raiders. He added three receptions for 16 yards. It marked his first opportunity to make a real contribution for the Ravens as he totaled just five yards, which came on a lateral from […]

Marlon Mack Exits Week 12 With A Concussion

Late in the fourth quarter, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack exited the game against the Miami Dolphins with a concussion. Mack had been playing effectively as he was averaging over five yards per carry. He never re-entered the game, and his status will be something to monitor as the week progresses. Rookie running back […]

Kenyan Drake Scores Twice In Week 12

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was involved in the offense in Miami's 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. Drake rushed eight times for 32 yards and a touchdown, and also caught five passes for 64 yards and caught a touchdown. While he was slightly out-touched by Frank Gore 15-13, Drake out-gained Gore 96-77. […]

Frank Gore Totals 77 Yards In Week 12

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was heavily involved in their 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. Gore rushed 14 times for 67 yards and caught one pass for ten yards. He out-touched Kenyan Drake 15-13, but Drake put up more total yardage and scored a touchdown. Gore is Miami's between the tackles runner, […]

Jalen Richard Has Little Production In Road Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard had very little production in Sunday's loss against the Ravens. Richard is generally a favorable target for Derek Carr in the passing game and brings strong PPR value week in and week out. The case was a bit different today, as he ended with only two catches for 15 […]

Doug Martin Scores First Touchdown Of The Season

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to find the end zone for the first time this season in Sunday's loss against the Ravens. Martin ended with 11 rushes for 51 yards and the one touchdown. This now gives him five straight weeks where he has averaged over four yards per carry. Martin has […]

Nick Chubb Carries The Browns To Victory

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb picked up right where he left off from before the Browns bye week, as Chubb was all over the stat sheet in the Browns road win against the Bengals. He found the end zone twice against the Bengals, once on the ground and once via a Randy Moss-like catch. […]
