Analysis: Over his last four games, Darrin Reaves has six touchdowns as he leads the team in carries (95) and rushing yards per game (50.7) on the season. At Tulane this coming Saturday, he is a recommended start in all leagues as he'll be facing a defense that ranks 3rd worst in the nation in terms of yards allowed per game (249.7).
News:Darrin Reaves rushed for 42 yards on 10 carries and caught three passes for 15 yards at Houston on Saturday.
Analysis: This is one of Darrin Reaves' weaker games this season as he did not go over 100 total yards or reach the end zone, something he accomplished in his three previous games.

Analysis: After not reaching the end zone through three games, Darrin Reaves completed the feat three times in this game.

UAB's Reaves Goes Over 100 Total Yards at Ohio State
News:Darrin Reaves rushed for 72 yards on 16 carries and caught seven passes for 42 yards at Ohio State on Saturday.
Analysis: Through three games Darrin Reaves is averaging 43.3 yards per game rushing with no touchdowns on the season. As UAB's schedule starts to soften, Reaves' numbers should go up. However it might not happen this coming Saturday as Tulsa's run defense has allowed a C-USA low 3.32 yards per carry this season.
News:Darrin Reaves rushed for 10 yards on seven carries at South Carolina on Saturday.
Analysis: Look up zero in the dictionary and you'll see a photo of the UAB run game as they rushed the ball 42 times as a team and only came up with 27 yards. At Ohio State, none of the UAB RBs have any fantasy value.
News:Darrin Reaves rushed for a team high 48 yards on 11 carries and caught two passes for eight yards against Troy.
Analysis: He split carries with QB Johnathan Perry and RB Dontavius Jackson as the run game was slow to get on track for UAB. Until he has the majority of carries all to himself, Darrin Reaves doesn't hold much fantasy value.
News: UAB is likely to start camp and possibly the season with a committee at RB, the Birmingham News reports.
Analysis:Darrin Reaves joins Greg Franklin, Bashr Coles, and Dontavius Jackson in what is likely to be a RB by committee situation that will drain all of their fantasy values. Fantasy owners should stay away from this situation until further notice.

Analysis: Both are decent options for 2012, as this is a battle to watch entering next year.
News: If you are looking for two hail mary RB2 or RB3 plays this week look no further than UAB running backs Greg Franklin and Darrin Reaves.
Analysis: The pair combined for 147 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the team’s 34-31 win over Southern Miss last Thursday. Both should find the end zone against FAU this weekend, but we would recommend Franklin a bit more.
News: Running back Darrin Reaves had a solid game for UAB, rushing for 62 yards and a score against USM.
Analysis: Despite the solid stats and a plus matchup against FAU next weekend, he is bench material at best.

Analysis: Despite the solid yardage, Reeves did not find the end zone. Keep him benched in all formats.

Analysis: Reaves started for Pat Shed and did alright. Considering the blowout that will happen next week against Houston, he is not a worthy addition to your team.
News: UAB running back Pat Shed will miss his second straight game this weekend against Marshall with a knee injury.
Analysis: Shed hurt his left knee late in the first half of the loss at Tulsa on October 15. Darrin Reaves will likely get the majority of carries, but should not be played in any format.
News: Running back Pat Shed missed the UAB win over UCF with a knee injury suffered in a game against Tulsa. It is unclear how long Shed will be out.
