Opportunity is the name of the game in . Talent matters, of course, but we want players who see a healthy volume of targets and touches to anchor our lineups, especially in daily fantasy. Every week in the revamped Opportunity Report, we'll look at all the backfield touches for every NFL team. See Part two (to be linked soon) for pa sing game targets. was a clear breath of fresh air for an offense that had not seen their feature back top 3.63 yards per carry since Week 7. The rookie back did most of his work in the ground game, despite his acumen as a pa sing Tommy Lasorda Jersey -down threat. Bruce Arians indicated prior to this game that Johnson was his new starter, and would see a bulk of the work. The coach was true to his word, as Johnson handled 68.6 percent of the running back touches in Week 13. Johnson must remain a key figure in this offense, as his explosive ability infused with one of the best pa sing games in the NFL makes Arizona a nightmare to defend. With back in the fold, went right back to his spot as a non-factor on this offense. Freeman's ceiling is depre sed since last we saw him on the field. The decline of the Atlanta offense, and the pa sing game, is hard to overcome for a running back who is several notches below the transcendent level. However, his volume appears secure, and he e sentially functions as their No. 2 receiver. does not mind dumping the ball off over and over again to a running back, especially at this stage of his career. With Buck Allen's strength of as a pa s catcher, and size in the open field, the rookie rusher can mortgage that volume into low-end RB1 numbers for the rest of the season. However, the matchups do get tougher down the stretch with Seattle, Kansas City and Pittsburgh traveling to Baltimore for the remainder of the fantasy season. looks every bit the primary handcuff to Allen in Baltimore, and has eight carries in each of the last two weeks. If you have Allen on your roster, insuring him with a West addition is a nece sity. With on the shelf, took some change of pace work behind . The also deployed him in some wild cat looks, as well. Gillislee just came up from the practice squad last week, making his heavy involvement curious, and perhaps a misnomer. However, with the way McCoy keeps bouncing off and on the field this year, and he was evaluated for a concu sion in this game, his backups are worth monitoring.We know the drill with the backfield, and this is about the same picture presented from the last three weeks. One interesting development to note: has just 15 catches on the season, but six of them came in the last two weeks. If the ticket Stewart for more pa sing game work, that raises his floor a few notches and makes him much le s reliant on converting red zone looks into touchdowns.A split that was near 50/50 in 's first week back sharply shifted back to favor the veteran in Week 13. Forte nearly doubled 's workload, and played 56 percent of the snaps compared to 36 percent from his primary understudy. In watching the game, Forte got hot early and the coaching staff seemed content to ride that. Langford looked great in a change-of-pace type of deployment, but perhaps he goes off early next week. For now, we can a sume John Fox will defer to the veteran back for the rest of this season.All the while a healthy still held onto a role in the split. With Forte all but locked in to walk in free agency this offseason, Carey could emerge as a high-value handcuff and more traditional running complement to next season. If you play in a dynasty league, it's worth exploring whether Carey is available on waiver wires, or available in a cheap trade if you own Langford.The thoroughly outcla sed the in this contest, as expected, so it's difficult to know what we should take away from this box score. A blowout in winter weather against a team that can't stop the power run is the perfect type of game script for , and he responded with another strong fantasy game. He also played deep into the game with backups when the blowout was in full-swing. You can certainly interpret that as the team wanting to get him going and full of confidence as they push towards the playoffs.Going forward, we can use Hill as a boom/bust RB3 or flex play. We should also recognize that it's unlikely remains this absent from games in the future. The and rematch set to take place in Week 14 profiles as a better game for the pa s-catching specialist.Last week looked like the tide Walker Buehler Jersey had turned in favor of leading this backfield split. In a game where the fell behind early, that idea looked ever more concrete. Alas, here we are. was on his way to another fine outing, but left in the first half after rolling his ankle. was largely ineffective -- in a great matchup -- in his efforts to a sume the workhorse role. The offense suffers a great deal without Anderson, as Hillman is incapable as a receiver. We'll have to monitor Anderson's status throughout the week. ran with tremendous power yesterday, and may be worth an add in deeper leagues.This was the third week Sandy Koufax Jersey in a row that led the in carries. However, it just won't amount to much in what is a frustrating -like three-way split, even with Joe Lombardi out of the picture. For the rest of this season, we're putting Abdullah under the eye test for his prospects as a sleeper next year, which he's pa sing with flying colors right now, and using sparingly in PPR formats.Reports surfaced after the game that the are concerned about off the field, and he compounded those worries by mi sing curfew prior to the game. The coaching staff e sentially benched Lacy, and gave playing time to , which led to 's ascension after a Starks fumble. At this point, Lacy is such a headache we don't know what to advise with him. Green Bay has a favorable matchup with Dallas in Week 14, but you know what you might be getting into here. Track the news and proceed with caution.After several weeks of le s than stellar play, the finally saw fit to remove from his volume inflated role as the lead back. responded with a strong outing, including a touchdown catch. He and are superior talents and pa s catchers to Blue, and should lead this backfield in touches going forward. The were knocked off their game script early against the clearly superior , which prevented from topping 100 total yards. However, he posted his first efficient outing since mid-October, and didn't cede many touches to . After coming into this game on shaky fantasy status, Gore looks much safer as an RB2 for fantasy.This was the type of game we were waiting for with . He looked dynamic in the pa sing game, racking up 79 yards, and punched in his goal-line chance. The experienced an offensive explosion against the , so we may not see another line like this from Yeldon again this season. However, as the workhorse back in an ascending scoring unit, he's right at the top of the list for breakout 2016 running backs.The have no true allegiance to , and there was no reason for them to return to a game plan where he handled nearly 100 percent of the touches after seeing what could do. Of course, this was West's first game back from a hamstring injury, which is particularly detrimental to his style of running back. Going forward, we should expect a near even split, with West as the primary pa s catcher and Ware serving as the finisher and goal-line back. Next week with San Diego coming to town feels like a Ware game.It looks like the firing of Bill Lazor was in direct connection to 's evaporated workload during the final weeks of the month of November. Under a new coach, the Miami offense handed Miller 80 percent of the running back carries. We spent this entire season telling ourselves the story of how one thing or another would lead to a consistent workload for Miller for the duration of the season. We know firsthand this is a tenuous endeavor. Theoretically, if this distribution holds up, Miller is a tremendous play on Monday night against the . The clamped down on , and the lost 38-7. This isn't the first outing we've had to endure something like this from Peterson, but hopefully it is the last. exploded in a 2013-2014 fashion, and for the moment, looks clearly ahead of as the pa s-catching back in this offense. In shootout game scripts Max Muncy Jersey with high expected point totals, we can use White as a flex option in PPR leagues. The will need some outlet receivers when they square off with the next Sunday, which should provide some chances for White. With two combined touches for and , we know this backfield is all about . This was a pa s-heavy game script, with New Orleans taking to the air against a tough secondary. Even still, Ingram maintained his safe floor, which is one of the highest in the league among running backs.I can't honestly give you any real analysis on this backfield. So naturally, I took to Twitter for a sistance. As always, you all delivered: Matthew Giraldi (@MGiraldi) the opportunity is that you can rule out 1 teams whole RB core. No need to waste time considering playing one. (@ofthemarco) If you are relying on a NYG RB this year, quit. Chris Rice (@riceman83) just title it "A Giant failure" and move on Drew Dinkmeyer (@DrewDinkmeyer) "LOL" and move on FFGuy (@FFTaekMachine) Giants don't want other guys to be jealous so that means equal workloads.Everybody gets a shot at mediocrity. Lovro Bubanj (@loki259) the Giants are holding weekly running back try outs. If you'd like to be an NFL RB, go get your 6 touches this Sunday! Jeff Becker (@beffjecker) It's time to give credit for serving as a valuable role player for this offense, especially as a pa s catcher. There's legitimate concern that he could out-snap (as he did in Week 13) in games where the get into a shootout. With the looking to keep the tone-setting Ivory on a pitch count and not overwork him, we may be in the territory of projecting game flow for this team to know what to do with the backfield. For Week 14, at least, their match with the in the Meadowlands looks like a strong Ivory game. checked in with his best game since Week 9. He ran with power through a strong front, and popped in a goal line carry. With the pa sing game ruling supreme in Oakland, they've mostly asked Murray to be a sustaining runner, and seemed unconcerned with his inefficient tendencies. It's hard to project that changing, especially next week in Denver.Chip Kelly the coach is finally overriding Chip Kelly the GM, with falling by the wayside. The coach doubled-down by saying that running back playing time would be divvied up by performance alone. Murray had a strong stretch where he continually finished in the 17-touch, 90-yard range, but those days look long over. No matter the game script or the matchup, is an RB1, and looking like the most valuable back in fantasy. ran really well in this game but fumbled twice, prompting an appearance by . remains sadly in the background of one of the more worthle s backfields for fantasy purposes.At this stage of the season, it's hard to deny that is an every-week fantasy starter. He played 79 percent of the snaps, scored on the goal line and finished second on the team in targets for Week 13. That sort of usage, mixed with Draughn's solid play, is undeniable in fantasy. The play the in Week 14, which should make him a tremendous value in DFS once again.Some of the other backs got work with this game in blowout territory, but this backfield belongs to alone.The Jeff Fisher experience has e sentially vanquished the once amazing efforts of rookie . At this point, it's difficult to endorse starting Gurley; we have to live in the present. With the offense sinking so far that they've fired their second offensive coordinator of the calendar year, you can't expect anything from this group Enrique Hernandez Jersey . Sadly, that includes the all-world talents of . continues dominating the touches for Tampa Bay, with just sprinkling in. At the moment, there may not be many more backs with a better rest of season outlook than . He's playing at a career-best level, and has a pristine schedule ahead. split touches with the starter, , but didn't perform well in the role. The coaching staff may shy away from using Cobb more after this slip up, and there's no reason for you to consider him against the . Andrews is playing well and deserves the bulk of the work. At this point, we're only watching Cobb for 2016 purposes.Matt Harmon is an a sociate fantasy writer/editor for NFL.com, and the creator of , who you can follow on Twitter __.
