Week 14 Running Back Depth Charts: Bilal Powell, David Johnson, Tim Hightower and More

With the better half of the league's running backs watching football from wheelchairs and hospital beds, there were not many stellar RB performances in Week 13.

The New Orleans Saints placed starting running back Mark Ingram on the season-ending injured reserve list Wednesday, adding more pain to an already painful 2015 campaign.

Running Backs Sending Out Warning Signals: Todd Gurley, Latavius Murray, Devonta Freeman, LeGarrette Blount & More

Last week's Warning Signals piece primarily focused on players who fall closer to RB2 status than a high-end RB1. Looking ahead to Week 14 and the first round of the fantasy playoffs, there are two players in particular that have been reliable RB1s for most of the season that now warrant our attention. I'm speaking […]

Wide Receivers Sending Out Warning Signals: Julio Jones, Demaryius Thomas, Brandon LaFell, Marvin Jones & More

Week 14 Booms: Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has put up some decent passing numbers in the past two games, totaling 618 yards and three touchdowns.

Sometimes in sports it takes the injury of one player to pave the way for the opportunity of the next player to shine.

Fantasy Outlook: Teddy Bridgewater, Adrian Peterson, Stefon Diggs

The Minnesota Vikings enter Thursday night's showdown against the Arizona Cardinals tied for first place in the NFC North. The Vikings are looking to win their first division title since 2009 but do they have enough weapons, on the field and in fantasy lineups, to sustain production?

Patrick Beverley (HOU, PG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone knows Patrick Beverley is a defensive pest. An aggressive, max effort guy that gets under other teams' skin.

Ian Mahinmi (C, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo!
