RB Duds

Todd Gurley-St. Louis Rams: Gurley didn’t get anything going against the Bengals totaling just 19 yards on his nine carries and adding an 11-yard reception.  Gurley has been facing stacked boxes due to bad quarterback play, and he hasn’t been able to get things going the last few weeks.

DeMarco Murray-Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles offense was left hungry on Thanksgiving and Murray only ended up with 30 yards despite getting 14 carries.  He wasn’t targeted in the passing game and has had a rough first season in Philadelphia.

Frank Gore-Indianapolis Colts: Gore didn’t lack opportunity but did lack production against the Bucs.  Gore ran the ball 19 times against Tampa finishing with just 24 yards and added 13 yards on two catches.

Chris Johnson-Arizona Cardinals: CJ?K is now questionable due to a knee injury, and his backup Andre Ellington also ended up on the sideline in the third quarter.  Johnson finished with just 17 yards on his 12 carries, and the running back situation in Arizona is again completely up in the air.

Lamar Miller-Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins have seemingly lost their re-discovered running game and Lamar Miller’s fantasy value along with it.  Miller ran five times for a total of two yards and added three catches for only 11 more yards.  Miami was forced to throw the ball a ton, and Miller was left out of the Miami offensive gameplan.

Karlos Williams-Buffalo Bills: Williams left with a shoulder injury after just two carries for five yards against the Chiefs.
