Ito Smith Scores Touchdown In Underwhelming Performance

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had a mixed day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The rookie running back managed to score the third touchdown of his career and made it three weeks in a row he has found the end zone. In addition, Smith actually out-carried veteran starting running back Tevin Coleman […]

Tevin Coleman Struggles Sunday Against Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a tough day Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coleman struggled to get anything going on the ground, registering 35 yards on his 10 carries. Coleman somewhat rescued his day with a six-yard receiving touchdown that got him over the 10-point mark for fantasy owners. The really concerning […]

Royce Freeman Held in Check Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman contributed 22 yards on nine carries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Rams. He was not targeted in the passing game. The good news here is that Freeman saw the bulk of the carries Sunday with his nine -- more than double of fellow RB Phillip Lindsay -- accounting […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though potential owners have consistently demonstrated a thorough lack of enthusiasm for including Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore on their rosters, his outstanding Week 6 performance should eviscerate any lingering concerns. The 35-year old continued to defy pre-season expectations in Week 6 […]

Tarik Cohen Shines Against 'Fins

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen outpaced Jordan Howard on Sunday, finishing the game against Miami with five carries for 31 yards and a score in addition to an impressive seven receptions off of nine targets for 90 yards. Cohen has looked great over the past two weeks, racking up 211 yards through the air […]

Jordan Howard Struggles Against Miami

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard wasn't able to get it going during the 31-28 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Howard carried the ball 14 times but was only able to scrounge up a subpar 69 yards on 4.9 yards per carry. After getting 24 touches against the Arizona Cardinals a few weeks […]

Javorius Allen Touches The Ball Just Four Times

Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen registered a season-low four touches against the Titans. Allen, who lost a fumble last week, garnered just one carry and had three receptions for a total of 19 yards from scrimmage in Week 6. He also failed to reach the end zone for a third straight week after posting […]

Gus Edwards Tallies 42 Rushing Yards In NFL Debut

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Gus Edwards garnered 10 attempts for 42 yards in his NFL debut against the Titans. Edwards, who was promoted to the active squad on Saturday, tallied three first downs and a long run of 11 yards. He did not factor at all in the passing game, however. It was a […]

Jalen Richard Leads Team in Receiving

Oakland Raiders Running back Jalen Richard might've been the only bright spot for the team in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Richard ended the day with seven receptions for 48 yards, both of which were team highs. The offense was highly ineffective for the whole game, but he was able to provide enough for his […]

Doug Martin Useless In Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin failed to make an impact yet again in this Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. The trip across the pond didn't turn out to be a good one for the Raiders and Martin couldn't do much. He finished with only one catch for eight yards and no touchdowns. Martin has […]

Alex Collins Reaches End Zone Twice

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins had a very productive day in Week 6, rushing for 54 yards on a season-high 19 attempts with two scores. Collins has now topped the 50-yard plateau in consecutive games and three of his last four while garnering double-digit carries for the fourth straight contest. The third-year back, who […]

Ezekiel Elliott Runs for Over 100 Yards in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a strong outing on Sunday, running the ball 24 times for 106 yards and a touchdown. He added a catch for 11 yards. With the Cowboys nursing a huge lead in the second half, Elliott was able to collect tons of carries. It was a strong performance after […]

Lamar Miller Has Forgettable Game Against Buffalo

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller continued a string of mediocre outings, carrying the ball 15 times for 46 yards against the Bills on Sunday and adding 25 receiving yards on a pair of receptions. While it wasn't a bad fantasy day for Miller, his performance didn't do much to quiet concerns about his usage […]

Carlos Hyde Slowed By Chargers

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde turned in a slow outing against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. Hyde carried the ball 14 times for 34 yards without drawing a target in the passing game in a 38-14 loss. While Hyde got off to a fast start this season, Sunday's performance serves as a […]

Duke Johnson Rolls Up 109 All-Purpose Yards

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson turned in his most productive game of the season in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson carried the ball twice for 36 yards and added seven receptions for 73 yards in a 38-14 loss. Johnson set new season highs in rushing yards, receiving yards, and all-purpose yards […]

Bilal Powell A Non-Factor Against Colts

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell was unable to get it going against the Colts on Sunday. Despite getting 16 touches, the veteran finished the day racking up only 59 yards for a subpar 3.7 yards per carry. As expected, Powell continued to split carries with running back Isaiah Crowell, who was at risk […]

James Conner Reaches End Zone Twice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner totaled 19 carries for 111 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 28-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. Conner also added four catches for 18 yards in the win. The two-score game gives Conner four touchdowns over his past two games as he has heated up […]

Derrick Henry And Dion Lewis Stymied In Loss

Tennessee Titans running backs Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis were both held in check in the Week 6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, rushing seven times for 21 yards and five times for nine yards, respectively. The offense was unable to score a touchdown for the second straight week as the offensive line continued to […]

Ronald Leary Could Have Torn Achilles

Denver Broncos left guard Ronald Leary (Achilles) is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 6 loss to the Rams, according to a source. It would be a big blow to an offensive line that is nothing special in front of a very mediocre Case Keenum under center. Expect Max Garcia to […]

Joe Mixon Scores A Touchdown In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon played well in the loss to the Steelers in Week 6. Despite only rushing the ball 11 times for 64 yards, he was able to make amends by finding the end zone, his first score since Week 1, in addition to pulling in four receptions for 20 yards. The […]

Chase Edmonds Irrelevant In Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had almost no impact in the team's loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6. Edmonds only had one carry for four yards on the night as he seems to be firmly behind David Johnson on the team's depth chart at the position. Edmonds is not worth rostering outside […]

David Johnson Saves Day With Touchdown In Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had a relatively poor performance against a tough run defense in Week 6 but was still able to find the end zone. Johnson carried the ball 18 times for 55 yards and added two receptions (on five targets) for another 15 yards through the air. A fumble on a […]

Todd Gurley Continues Excellent Season In Week 6

As Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff struggled, they needed their All-Pro running back Todd Gurley to pick up the slack. He answered the call with 28 carries for 208 yards and two touchdowns. He also had two catches for 17 yards on five targets. Gurley continues to be arguably the best running back in […]

Patriots Playmakers Are Active Against Chiefs

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Chris Hogan (thigh) are all active on Sunday night against the Chiefs. Against a bad Chiefs defense, Gronkowski is a top fantasy tight end. Michel has RB1 upside as the lead back between the […]

LeSean McCoy Held Without A Touchdown Again

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy failed to find the end zone once again on Sunday against the Houston Texans. McCoy did get another decent sized workload, running the ball 16 times for 73 yards. He also caught three balls out of the backfield on five targets for 21 yards. Fantasy owners should be pleased […]

Justin Pugh Suffers Broken Hand

Arizona Cardinals right guard Justin Pugh (hand) said that he suffered a broken left hand in the Week 6 loss to the Vikings. It's another bad sign for a beleaguered offensive line, although Pugh could wind up playing through the injury and wearing a cast. Jeremy Vujnovich would likely take over if Pugh has to […]

Austin Ekeler Explosive But Fails To Score

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler had another top-notch performance by racing his way to 60 yards on just seven carries, but he was unable to get into the end zone on a day where he was overshadowed by Melvin Gordon. Even though Gordon averaged more than 7.0 YPC, Ekeler still topped him by […]

Nyheim Hines Disappears With Return Of Marlon Mack

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) made his return this week, which didn't help rookie Nyheim Hines' value. Hines has not been the best pure runner, as he finished with three carries for 14 yards, and his value was tied to his pass-catching ability. Despite 43 passing attempts from quarterback Andrew Luck, only three […]

Melvin Gordon Destroys Browns

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon was an absolute monster on Sunday as he ripped the Cleveland Browns for 132 yards on the ground, 18 yards through the air, and three touchdowns. Gordon averaged a ridiculous 7.3 YPC as he still hasn't reached 20 carries in a game this season, and he basically ran […]

Marlon Mack Strong In Return

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack made his return to the field in Week 6 against the New York Jets. He played well with his limited touches as he finished with 12 carries for 89 yards, which was a 7.4 yard-per-carry average. He caught one of his two targets for four yards. If Mack stays […]
