Adrian Peterson Turns In Another Solid Outing

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 99 yards on 24 carries against the Cowboys on Sunday. He has now missed the century mark by a combined four yards in his last two games. Peterson hasn't reached the endzone since Week 3, but the main thing for his fantasy investors to focus on is […]

T.J. Yeldon Catches Touchdown In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon struggled on the ground, carrying the ball 12 times for 28 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans, but he continued to make things happen as a receiver, catching five balls for 40 yards and a touchdown. Yeldon's fantasy stock will depend a lot on how quickly the newly-acquired […]

Lamar Miller Has Big Week 7

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller finally looked like the back that many people had targeted in fantasy drafts during Houston's Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Miller ran for 100 yards on 22 carries with a touchdown. He also had one reception, but he lost a yard on it. Miller's 22 carries far […]

Wendell Smallwood Leads the Eagles Backfield in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood led the Eagles backfield with 11 touches, catching two passes for five yards and running the ball nine times for 32 yards. Corey Clement touched the ball 10 times, and with Darren Sproles expected back from a hamstring injury before long, the Eagles backfield is about to get even […]

Corey Clement Struggles in a Week 7 Loss

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement struggled to get anything going on Sunday, running the ball eight times for just six total yards. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. His 10 touches were one behind Wendell Smallwood's 11, and the Eagles backfield will likely get even messier once Darren Sproles returns from his […]

Kenjon Barner Adds 36 Yards In Relief

New England Patriots running back Kenjon Barner got some rare playing time in Week 7, adding 36 yards on 10 carries in the Patriots 38-31 win over the Bears. Running back Sony Michel exited the game early with a lower-leg injury and Barner was thrust into action. He ran with purpose and helped move the […]

Ameer Abdullah Rarely Used In Week 7

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah was active on Sunday, due to the absence of veteran back Theo Riddick. In the 32-21 victory, Abdullah received one carry for one yard, but he also pulled in his only target for 12 yards. Many anticipated that when Riddick was announced out for the game that Abdullah would […]

Duke Johnson Quiet In Week 7 Start

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson turned in another quiet performance in a Week 7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Carlos Hyde traded away earlier in the week, Johnson drew the start but quickly took a backseat to Nick Chubb in the running game. Johnson wound up with just one carry for minus-four […]

Latavius Murray Has Another Fantastic Performance

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray garnered 69 yards and two touchdowns on 15 rushing attempts in a Week 7 win over the New York Jets. He also had two receptions for 14 yards. Murray has excelled the past two weeks without Dalvin Cook (hamstring). He's put up a combined 224 rushing yards and three […]

James White Racks Up 97 Total Yards, Two Touchdowns

New England Patriots running back James White caught eight passes for 57 yards with 40 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots win in Week 7. The Patriots lost running back Sony Michel early in the game and White, once again, stepped up. It seemed like every time the Patriots needed a first down […]

LeGarrette Blount Scores Against Miami

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount bowled into the end zone in the second quarter in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins. It was his third touchdown in two weeks. Blount finished the day with 50 yards on 10 carries and the score; however, he wasn't targeted in the passing game. As a touchdown-dependent option, these […]

Nick Chubb Impressive In Week 7

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb made the most of his first opportunity to operate as the team's lead back. Chubb carried the ball 18 times for 80 yards and a touchdown in a Week 7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie runner looked quick and powerful in the game, breaking tackles and […]

Frank Gore Disappoints In Week 7 Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was disappointing and unproductive in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. He rushed 10 times for 29 yards and caught one pass for four yards. Gore looked poised to take the lead in a committee with Kenyan Drake after Gore's Week 6 101-yard performance, but he was […]

Tarik Cohen Posts 83 Total Yards, One Touchdown

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught eight passes for 69 yards with 14 rushing yards and one touchdown in the Bears 38-31 loss to the Patriots. Cohen again was a huge part of the Bears offensive attack and sprung free for some nice gains in the passing game. Cohen has now out-snapped running back […]

Kerryon Johnson Impressive Against Dolphins

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson eclipsed the century mark for the second time in his rookie season in a win over the Dolphins on Sunday. Johnson totaled 133 rushing yards on 19 carries, while also catching two of three targets for 21 yards. The highlight of the Auburn product's day was a 71-yard run […]

Kenyan Drake Busts Off Huge Run In Week 7

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake had a productive game in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. He rushed six times for 72 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 15 yards.

Jordan Howard Punches In Touchdown In Loss

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 12 times for 39 yards and added a rushing touchdown in the Bears loss to the Patriots. Howard caught one pass for nine yards in his most active game in weeks. Howard is a talented back but appears to be out of place in head coach […]

Jordan Wilkins Runs Well In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins was effective in Week 7, but he remains nothing more than a stash in deep leagues. He finished the day with six carries for 46 yards, which is an impressive 7.7 yard-per-carry average. Wilkins is the team's best pure runner, but he lacks the explosiveness of Nyheim Hines […]

Nyheim Hines Quiet In Week 7 Win

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has had a good season to this point. However, the team's big win against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7 showed that he is the clear number two behind second-year back Marlon Mack. Mack had 21 touches compared to Hines' six. Hines finished the day with five carries for […]

Marlon Mack Is Elite In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has shown flashes through two seasons, but he had never been consistent or healthy enough to put it all together. Against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7, he finally got it all going. He frequently had big plays in the running game, and he was a good check-down option […]

Adrian Peterson Will Play Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, shoulder) is active for Week 7 against the Cowboys. Peterson has been battling nagging injuries for weeks but hasn't missed any time. With Chris Thompson out for the second straight week, Peterson will remain a high-volume RB2 for fantasy owners. Expect Kapri Bibbs to serve as the change-of-pace […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Inactive In Week 7

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Cowboys. It'll be Thompson's second straight absence despite getting in some practice time. As a result, Adrian Peterson is a safer volume-based RB2. Expect Kapri Bibbs to be the change-of-pace back Sunday. […]

Bilal Powell Won't Return In Week 7

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck) left the game early in Week 7 against the Vikings and will not return. Powell ran the ball five times for 20 yards and caught one pass for five yards before exiting. With Powell out the rest of the way, Isaiah Crowell should see most of the […]

Sony Michel Carted Off Against Bears

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (ankle, leg) was carted to the locker room in Week 7 against the Bears. Michel had three carries for 24 yards and a 13-yard reception before leaving the game. It's a serious concern, as Michel has been the team's early-down back and has looked great over the […]

LeSean McCoy Ruled Out After Head Injury

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (head) has been ruled out of Week 7 against the Colts after suffering a head injury on the team's first drive of the game. McCoy had two carries for just one yard before getting hurt. It's the worst possible scenario for those that started McCoy this weekend. With him […]

LeSean McCoy Being Evaluated For Head Injury

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (head) left the game in the first quarter in Week 7 against the Colts and is being evaluated for a head injury. It was previously thought that McCoy suffered a lower leg injury on the second play of the game when he limped off after […]

LeSean McCoy Injured Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) left the game early in the first quarter in Week 7 against the Colts with an undisclosed injury.

Duke Johnson Listed As Week 7 Starter

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson is listed as the starter for Week 7 against the Buccaneers, but a team spokesperson said rookie Nick Chubb could start over Johnson depending on the formation the offense uses to begin the game. It's merely a formality and doesn't mean much. Both Chubb and Johnson see their fantasy […]

Sony Michel, Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon Active

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Julian Edelman (heel) and Josh Gordon (hamstring) are all active in Week 7 against the Bears. Michel has been a high-end RB2 over the past several weeks and should remain that way as the team's early-down back. Edelman and Gordon will have expanded […]

Isaiah Crowell Active Against Vikings

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) is active in Week 7 against the Vikings. Crowell was always expected to play, but he'll be a touchdown-dependant RB3/flex in a tough matchup with Minnesota's defensive front. Expect him to have a near-even workload with Bilal Powell once again. With Jets defensive backs Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps), […]
