Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has caught 22 passes over his last three games, adding another dimension to his fantasy production heading into Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Williams rushed 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown in Monday's overtime loss to Buffalo, while catching six of eight targets […]

The weekend is here! Welcome back, RotoBallers, for more updated waiver-wire advice. Injuries have taken a toll this season, and fantasy managers will have to get through the bye gauntlet as the Bengals, Dolphins, Vikings, and Lions head into bye week. Here are the updated top 85 weekend waiver wire rankings to help you through […]

Cleveland Browns running back Jaleel McLaughlin could see his biggest workload of the season against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, although much depends on Quinshon Judkins (ankle). Cleveland's starter is questionable after missing two practices before returning in a limited capacity Friday. With Raheim Sanders (hip) on injured reserve and Dylan Sampson (knee) ruled […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Weekend Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season. The "full" Week 6 slate kicks off in under 24 hours, so it's almost time to double-check your fantasy lineups. However, with injuries across the league and bye weeks starting, managers may need to cut ties […]

The Washington Commanders officially ruled out running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) for the Week 6 game on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers, according to John Keim of ESPN. This was the expectation after Croskey-Merritt was unable to practice all week due to a groin injury that has resurfaced after he was limited […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell has seen his role improve over the last three weeks. The 24-year-old is the PPR RB37 in overall scoring, averaging 6.1 fantasy points per game. Mitchell has nine-plus touches during that stretch and has seen a greater snap percentage than Omarion Hampton over the last two weeks. Mitchell […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal has seen his role grow over the last two weeks. Vidal has seen the same or a higher snap percentage than Omarion Hampton during this stretch. As a result, Vidal has scored 10-plus points and finished inside the top 26 fantasy running backs in back-to-back weeks. The 25-year-old […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton has become a borderline flex starter in all league formats. Over five weeks, Hampton is the PPR RB23 in overall scoring, averaging 9.4 fantasy points per game. The 23-year-old has become a touchdown-dependent fantasy player and has seen his role diminish over the last three weeks. Hampton enters […]

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is expected to be ruled out for the Week 6 contest on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers, sources told Ben Standig of The Athletic. Croskey-Merritt was not spotted at Saturday's practice after missing practice on Thursday and Friday with a nagging groin injury. Backfield mates Rachaad […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson came back down to Earth last week after a 62-yard, three-touchdown performance the week before, rushing just seven times for 16 scoreless yards. It looks like the 6-foot-1 back will see his involvement drop in games that are closely contested, which was also the case in Week 1 when […]

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen should continue handling the majority of the backfield work with Breece Hall (quad) officially ruled out for Sunday's matchup against New England. Allen delivered his strongest performance of the season against Cleveland in Week 5, rushing for 116 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. His decisive 22-yard […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) looks likely to retain his role as backup RB and passing-game specialist in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts if he is active. Spears is listed as questionable to play this weekend. The Colts rank 28th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, meaning despite his backup role, […]

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III has already topped 100 rushing yards three times this season, and Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas gives him an excellent opportunity for another productive afternoon. The Raiders are surrendering 140.6 rushing yards per game and 5.21 yards per carry, numbers that should favor a Buffalo offense averaging 5.4 […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is a reasonable starting flex in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. He didn't practice on Wednesday but practiced fully on Thursday and Friday. The veteran back doesn't have much of a ceiling due to being in a lackluster offense and limited involvement in the passing game, but has […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson gained over 100 scrimmage yards for the third consecutive week and has eclipsed that mark in four of five contests so far this season. Though he was held out of the end zone in Week 5, his re-involvement in the pass game was encouraging, tallying seven targets (four catches), […]

New York Giants running back Najee Harris had five carries for nine yards and one reception for five yards in the 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. With the Giants unable to run the ball against one of the NFL's best run defenses, Harris and the other running backs saw a reduced workload. However, signs […]

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo had 13 carries for 59 yards and two receptions for 12 yards in the 27-27 tie against the Washington Commanders. Once again, Skattebo had an ineffective day from a fantasy perspective, and things could trend worse in the coming weeks. Skattebo had a costly fumble that should've cost […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle (toe) enters a Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a questionable designation due to a toe injury. Dowdle has missed each of the past three games. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice before being upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and Friday. Pittsburgh […]

Four teams are on bye in Week 6, and the running back options are getting thinner. Some fantasy managers are dealing with injured starters, while others are trying to decide whether last week's production is worth trusting again. There are several backs with appealing matchups this weekend, but the number of touches they are actually […]

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) has struggled to produce at a meaningful level lately, and a lingering ankle injury further complicates his outlook for Week 6 against the New York Jets. Henderson has played fewer than 38% of the snaps in each of the last three weeks, and he has failed to […]

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has scored at least 17 PPR points and a touchdown in each of his last two games, and he'll look to keep that streak alive in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Stevenson has been impressive this season, ranking as the overall RB18 in PPR leagues. Not […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will "immediately return" to his team's RB1 role in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, per Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Jacobs has spent the entire 2026 season to this point on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List due to an offseason arrest. However, the league announced that Jacobs […]

It's hard to believe it's already Week 6. Time flies when you're having fun, right? With four teams on bye and many noteworthy injuries, there are so many lineup decisions to be made. You're in the right place! We got back on track in Week 5 after a rough Week 4 showing. Braelon Allen and […]

As we transition from the start of the 2026 NFL season to midseason, the waiver wire has been heating up with more interesting names. There are enough players that appear to have serious upside that it's difficult to decide which deserve space on your fantasy football benches. And there are even players that should be […]

It's going to be yet another wild main slate of NFL DFS this week. We have a consolidated slate with 10 games, as there is another London game as well as multiple teams on bye this week. I did things a bit differently this week and addressed the three running backs who are projected to […]

Thursday Night Football is the enemy of fantasy football. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the only player who managed to score more than 14.7 PPR points in the Broncos vs. Seahawks matchup, and Bo Nix once again "found a way to win" with 4.0 yards per attempt. He now has 13 wins in games with 6.0 yards […]

Yours truly is back again for more -- as in more bold predictions that are bold enough that most of them could reasonably be used to clown on the author quickly after the games in which these players are involved finish. But even if only a few -- or none -- of them end up […]

Week 5 brought some intriguing NFL matchups. The Vikings offense showed some signs of life, and the Texans made waves against the Titans. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for the Chargers to do something, and the Bears offense continues to disappoint. At least many of the studs are carrying the load. Josh Allen remains spectacular, […]
