RB Studs

Devonta Freeman-Atlanta Falcons: It was back on Thursday Night Football, so you may have forgotten that Freeman posted another huge week giving him four great fantasy weeks in a row.  He ran for 100 yards and a touchdown on his 13 carries against the Saints and added 56 yards and a second TD on his eight catches.

Chris Ivory-New York Jets: Ivory continued his impressive season with his second straight monster game running for 146 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in the Jets win over Washington.  He added 50 more yards on his three catches to finish just short of 200 total yards.

Jonathan Stewart-Carolina Panthers: Even in a bad matchup against the Seahawks in Seattle, Stewart came through and had a pair of touchdowns finishing with 78 yards  on his 20 carries and an additional eight yards on his only target of the game.  He was one of just two backs with multiple rushing TDs making him one of the best plays of the day.

Mark Ingram-New Orleans Saints: Ingram was the other running back with more than one rushing TDs as he fan for just 46 yards on 20 carries but saved his fantasy night with a pair of rushing scores against the Falcons on Thursday Night Football.

Lamar Miller-Miami Dolphins: Miller was the biggest beneficiaries of the start of the Dan Campbell era in Miami. He ripped off 113 yards and a touchdown in the new run-focused attack under Campbell while getting 19 carries and a pair of catches which he took for five yards.

Matt Forte-Chicago Bears: Forte, Foster, and McCoy all finished with right around the same numbers which were solid but not spectacular for their owners.  Forte had 69 yards rushing with a touchdown and added 20 yards on three catches. While he had fewer yards than Foster or McCoy he added a two-point conversion which helped his fantasy day be just a touch better.

Arian Foster-Houston Texans: Foster got his touchdown on one of his five passes for 59 yards while adding 53 yards on 18 carries. Over 100 all-purpose yards and a win for the Texans is a good week for Foster.

LeSean McCoy-Buffalo Bills: McCoy scored his first rushing TD with the Bills while finishing with 90 yards on the ground on his 17 carries.  He added a pair of catches but only for a total of four yards.
