Avoid Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen and Andre Williams Until Further Notice

The Giants backfield has been giving fantasy owners migraines all season long. New York utilizes the ever-hated 'running back by committee' approach that leaves fantasy owners wondering if their guy will get enough carries, goal-line touches and playing time to warrant a start.

Leonard Hankerson Not Practicing and James Starks Is Limited

Earlier in the season, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Leonard Hankerson was one of the nicest fantasy football surprises around. He seemed to be quarterback Matt Ryan’s second favorite target behind only Julio Jones. Unfortunately, he has struggled as of late. On the season thus far, Hankerson has 22 reeptions for 291 yards and two touchdowns. […]

Week 8 Risers and Fallers: Alfred Blue, Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle & More

Week 7 is in the books, and there are still five undefeated teams left standing in the NFL. Fantasy football managers with a matching 7-0 record are just as boastful, but the fantasy gods are vengeful and do not take kindly to such hubris. Even the teams at the top of the table need to manage […]

Tavon Austin (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Todd Gurley looks like he deserved the hype that moved him up fantasy draft boards, but he's not the only Ram breaking out this season.
