Javonte Williams Gets Zero Carries

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams didn't see much action during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Williams failed to see a carry in the backfield with Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime getting the touches. The only thing Williams did on offense was catch two passes for zero yards, so a dud from the 24-year-old. […]

Audric Estime Quiet In Loss

James Conner Never Returns After Exiting Game In The First Quarter

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) never returned to the game after re-injuring his knee in the first quarter.

After that run, we saw Conner being attended to on the sideline by athletic trainers, and he […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Essentially Absent In Week 17

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for one yard on two carries during Saturday's Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in blowout fashion.

Antonio Gibson Pads Stats In Garbage Time

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed for 63 yards on 12 carries during Saturday's Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in blowout fashion.

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin rushed for 69 yards on 10 carries in Saturday's 30-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He added seven yards on two receptions.

James Conner Questionable To Return With Knee Injury

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday night's meeting with the Los Angeles Rams. The 29-year-old came into this weekend battling through a knee injury he picked up in Week 16's loss to the Carolina Panthers and apparently isn't entirely over it. Per the broadcast, he's available on the […]

Khalil Herbert Gets Some Work In Week 17

Kimani Vidal Gets Just Five Touches In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal only ended up with five touches in a Week 17 blowout win over the New England Patriots.

Cam Akers Not Recommended For The Fantasy Finals

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers should not be started in this Sunday's divisional tilt against the visiting Green Bay Packers. The 25-year-old's workload has mostly been contingent on game script and the health of backfield mate Aaron Jones in 2024. Akers had gotten some extended run when Jones was dinged up or the game […]

Ray Davis Tough To Trust Vs. Jets

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis will not be a viable fantasy option in Sunday's divisional clash with the New York Jets. The rookie back has been used sparingly over the last few weeks and is mostly uninvolved when Buffalo is in a close game. He's been effective with his touches when he has seen […]

Is Tony Pollard Injured Or Playing In Week 17? Should I Start Tyjae Spears For Fantasy Football?

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has had a productive first season with the team. The veteran running back is the RB20 for the year, averaging 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

Should I Start Tyreek Hill in Week 17? Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

It's been one of the least fun experiences in fantasy football this season to have Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) on rosters. He's the WR19 on the season, and while he's played through a wrist injury and injuries to his starting quarterback, that's seriously disappointing. More shocking has been the string of single-digit […]
