Breece Hall Unlikely to be Traded

New York Jets running back Breece Hall has been the subject of trade rumors over the last few weeks. Given the state of the Jets team, it's not shocking to see them considering trading Hall. The Jets are sitting with one win, and Hall is in the final year of his rookie deal. Despite that, […]

Emanuel Wilson Could See More Touches

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson could see a bigger role in the backfield going forward. Last week, Wilson rushed 11 times for 61 yards, while hauling in three receptions for 26 yards in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He remains the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, but outings like this will help […]

Kyle Monangai Becomes Interesting Option for Week 9

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai is set to be the lead back for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chad Ryland Might be Worth a Start in Week 9

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has bounced all around the fantasy kicker leaderboards this season, which makes sense given how inconsistent this offense can be.

Zay Jones is Not Very Trustworthy in Week 9

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was cleared from the injury report, but it may not matter in terms of whether or not he's startable in most fantasy leagues.

Michael Wilson Not a Playable Option Despite Good Matchup

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has been quite the disappointment so far this season.

Even though he has seen nine targets in the two games that Jacoby Brissett has started, that's […]

Is the Door Open for Zach Wilson to Start?

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, it's possible Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could be benched at some point this season.

Michael Carter a Low-End Flex Play in Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter has rejoined the team and looks to split most of the carries with Bam Knight again.

Trey McBride Still an Elite Option Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride continues to be a set-it-and-forget-it type of player as he enters Week 9 as the overall TE4.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Holds WR2 Status for Week 9
