Vikings | Aaron Jones guts out 93 total yards Sun Dec 21, 08:11 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ankle) rushed 21 times for 85 yards and caught two passes for eight yards in a 16-13 win over the New York Giants in Week 16, and Jones was playing through an ankle injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: Jones' 2025 season has already been limited by injury. He missed an entire month due to a hamstring injury. The veteran Pro Bowler entered this week with 410 rushing yards and just one touchdown on the ground. Still, with Jordan Mason suffering what appears to be a more severe injury, Jones could be asked to carry a heavy load against the Lions this week -- if he's available for a Thursday night game. Zavier Scott is also in the mix at RB here. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Bucky Irving runs for 71 yards Sun Dec 21, 07:17 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed 19 times for 71 yards in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Sean Tucker scored the only rushing touchdown for the Bucs. He is a thorn in the side of Irving fantasy teams, along with the Bucs coaches for not using Irving in the passing game. Irving is still a strong RB2 play next week against a Miami defense that gave up four running back touchdowns in Week 16. |
Chargers | Kimani Vidal suffers neck injury Sun Dec 21, 07:01 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal carried five times for 11 yards in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. He also suffered a neck injury in the game and did not appear to return.
| Footballguys view: Vidal got hurt in the second half, requiring trainers to tend to him on the field. Although his role has decreased since Omarion Hampton's return from injury, Vidal has remained an integral part of the offense. The Chargers used Hassan Haskins to spell Hampton after Vidal exited the game. Haskins gained 14 yards on four carries. Los Angeles did not provide an update on Vidal before the game ended. The Chargers face the Texans in Week 17. |
Saints | Evan Hull not a big factor Sun Dec 21, 06:59 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Evan Hull rushed for three yards on five carries against the New York Jets in Week 16.

Saints | Audric Estime posts 36 total yards Sun Dec 21, 06:54 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Audric Estime rushed for 19 yards on five carries against the New York Jets in Week 16. He also caught three passes for 17 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Estime was a productive back in limited work after Devin Neal went down in Week 15, but any chance he had to make a fantasy impact in Week 16 went by the wayside when the team decided to feature Taysom Hill in the backfield. He'll go back to the waiver wire from whence he came. |
Titans | Not much for Kalel Mullings, Julius Chestnut Sun Dec 21, 06:25 PM
Tennessee Titans RBs Kalel Mullings and Julius Chestnut each had just a single rush in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Chestnut had a 1-yard gain, and Mulling' touch went for no gain. Neither player was targeted in the passing game.
Link to story Titans | Tyjae Spears totals 105 yards, score Sun Dec 21, 06:20 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears rushed 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding five receptions for 53 yards on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Spears wasn't in fantasy lineups - or even on many redraft rosters - for this one, but he looked explosive as a runner and receiver and shouldn't be abandoned in dynasty leagues. He'll be a what-the-heck flex against the Saints in Week 17. |

Titans | Tony Pollard hits triple digits again Sun Dec 21, 06:15 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 21 times for 102 yards in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Pollard posted his third straight 100-yard game, but Tyjae Spears got the rushing touchdown, so it wasn't a big success for fantasy despite the comfortable home win for the Titans. Consider him an upside flex play for the fantasy championship round next week against the Saints. |

Jets | Isaiah Davis more involved in passing game Sun Dec 21, 06:02 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis caught four passes for 52 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also rushed for eight yards on three carries during the game.

Chiefs | Brashard Smith with just one touch Sun Dec 21, 06:00 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Brashard Smith did not have a rushing attempt in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding a 4-yard reception on his only target.
Link to story Jets | Breece Hall finishes with 63 total yards Sun Dec 21, 05:57 PM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall rushed for 54 yards on 16 carries against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also caught two passes for nine yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: For the second straight week, backup Isaiah Davis outperformed Hall in fantasy leagues in a crushing blow for fantasy teams that kept Hall in on the basis of his demonstrated talent. Hall will only be in Week 17 fantasy lineups as a desperation play, but hopefully he will sign somewhere in free agency next season that has a functional offense and commitment to him as a lead back. |
Chargers | Omarion Hampton rushes for 85 yards and a touchdown Sun Dec 21, 05:42 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton carried 16 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught one pass for 10 yards.
| Footballguys view: Hampton got more work in the second half after Kimani Vidal left with a neck injury. We'll be watching to see if Vidal will be available for the Week 17 game against the Texans. If not, Hampton will be a strong RB2 play in the fantasy championship week. |
Chiefs | Kareem Hunt does next to nothing Sun Dec 21, 05:38 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed three times for just two yards in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, and he was not targeted in the passing game.

Chiefs | Isiah Pacheco totals 14 touches Sun Dec 21, 05:34 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco ran eight times for 34 yards in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding six receptions for 41 yards on seven targets.
| Footballguys view: Pacheco was basically the #1 receiver in an extremely limited Chiefs passing game against the Titans. He'll be a desperation play on Christmas against the Broncos as the Chiefs favored him over Kareem Hunt in Week 16. |
Cowboys | Malik Davis gets eight carries Sun Dec 21, 05:18 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis carried eight times for 23 yards in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers. He added nine yards on two receptions.

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon limited to one touch Sun Dec 21, 05:07 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II rushed for negative one yard on one carry against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.
Link to story Browns | Raheim Sanders sees extra run in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:01 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Raheim Sanders rushed 11 times for 42 yards in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, while adding a 4-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Sanders got some red zone touches and almost scored after Quinshon Judkins went down with a dislocated ankle and broken fibula, but Harold Fannin scored from one yard out as a fullback instead of Sanders getting the call. Chances are no one in their fantasy championship will need to go far enough down in the rankings to use Sanders, but he'll get a chance to show his stuff for the Browns, who might not have Judkins for Week 1 next season. Sanders is worth an add in deep dynasty leagues. |
Dolphins | Jaylen Wright reaches end zone Sun Dec 21, 04:59 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright rushed for 35 yards and one touchdown on nine carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also caught one pass for 18 yards during the game.
Link to story Dolphins | De'Von Achane productive in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 04:53 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane rushed for 81 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also caught three passes for nine yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: The quarterback switch to Quinn Ewers didn't affect Achane's fantasy bottom line. He had an early 48-yard touchdown run against a suspect Bengals run defense to key yet another RB1 level fantasy stat line. The Bucs run defense was stout against the Panthers in Week 16, but Achane will surely be in a lot of fantasy championship lineups as the lone bright spot during a rough season for the Dolphins offense. |
Cowboys | Javonte Williams limited to 34 rush yards Sun Dec 21, 04:45 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams carried nine times for 34 yards in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers. He added nine yards on two receptions.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys running game was abandoned in the second half and Dallas used Malik Davis more than they had been in previous weeks - possibly to lighten the load for Williams after he suffered a shoulder stinger last week. Williams is still a solid RB2 on Christmas against a Washington defense that should give up a lot of points and yards. |

Bills | Ray Davis records 92 kick return yards Sun Dec 21, 04:24 PM
Buffalo Bills RB/KR Ray Davis went for three carries and 14 yards in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding two receptions for 20 yards on two targets. He also added four kick returns for 92 yards.

Bills | James Cook has big afternoon in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 04:10 PM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook rushed 16 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding a 17-yard reception on two targets.
| Footballguys view: Cook was the strongest force in the Bills offense on another dominant day that likely helped many fantasy teams advance to the finals. He and Jonathan Taylor will duel for the NFL rushing title down the stretch, with the Eagles up next for the Bills. |
Bengals | Three touchdowns for Chase Brown Sun Dec 21, 04:06 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 66 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. He also caught four passes for 43 yards and two touchdowns during the game.
| Footballguys view: Brown was the fantasy star on a day when everything came easy for the Bengals offense. He'll be a strong RB1 play against the Cardinals next week in what should be one of the highest scoring games of the week most fantasy championships take place. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins suffers broken leg Sun Dec 21, 04:01 PM
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula late in the first half of the contest. The injury will require surgery.
| Footballguys view: Judkins was selected at No. 36 overall in this year's draft. He entered the weekend having rushed for 805 yards with seven touchdowns in 13 games. He'd also caught 21 passes for 142 yards. His Sunday afternoon ended with him having rushed for 22 yards on eight carries. He caught five passes for 29 yards. Raheim Sanders replaced Judkins and could get a lot of work against the Steelers next week. |
Chargers | Kimani Vidal leaves game Sun Dec 21, 03:51 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) suffered a neck injury during the Week 16 game and is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Omarion Hampton ran with great burst and strength in the second half and looked fresh after missing almost half of the season with a fractured ankle. We'll be watching Vidal's status, but if he's out against the Texans in Week 17, Hampton becomes a strong RB2 play at worst. |
