Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is "frustrated" and "disappointed" about the current state of the franchise, but it has not changed his interest in potentially improving the roster before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "I'll be real clear, I would be active if we could get a chance […]

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) remains sidelined for the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Additionally, the Texans placed Jawhar Jordan (undisclosed) on the practice-squad injured list, leaving Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale, and Deuce Vaughn (practice squad) as the remaining healthy RBs. Montgomery did […]

When asked if two full practices are enough to get running back Josh Jacobs ready to play in Week 7 against the division-rival Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday, "We'll see. We'll work through it," according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Jacobs was removed from the commissioner's exempt list on […]

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo was held without a single touch in the team's Week 6 loss to the Saints, but on the first practice rep of the week, with a new starting quarterback under center, it was the second-year running back who was given the handoff. After coming on in relief of […]

Week 7 in the NFL is upon us. Fantasy seasons are entering make-or-break mode. It is still possible to recover from one-win starts, and it is still possible to fall as an undefeated team. However, the margin for error will quickly fade in the coming weeks. Now that we are squarely into bye weeks, the […]

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has served as the team's starting running back for each of the last three weeks with Breece Hall (quadriceps) out with an injury. Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that Allen "is going to get touches, too," when Hall returns to action, according to Zack Rosenblatt of […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. It is not a good start to the week for Hall, who has missed the team's last three games due to a quad injury. The 25-year-old still has two days left to return to the […]

Six slates are cemented into the timeline as we near the fantasy football regular season's halfway mark, so let's chop it up looking at Week 7 and beyond with our updated rest-of-season rankings sheet. The bye weeks are smacking us across the face, as are the injuries and underwhelming performances, which means folks are clinging […]

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken said that he is optimistic that running back Dylan Sampson (knee) will be able to come off Injured Reserve and play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, per ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Sampson injured his left knee in the season-opening loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and has […]

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken said he is optimistic that running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) will be able to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Judkins did not play in the Week 6 upset win over the division-rival Baltimore Ravens due to an ankle […]

Hey RotoBallers, we are already in the middle of Week 7, and we are back with more fantasy football waiver advice. The pesky bye weeks are back as the Bills, Chargers, Jaguars, and Commanders are off this week. Fantasy managers looking for a bye-week or injury replacement, or a high-upside bench stash: our updated Week […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) remains on injured reserve, and his eventual workload looks increasingly uncertain with Zach Charbonnet (knee) closing in on his season debut. The first-round rookie rushed 28 times for 119 yards and caught four passes for 21 yards in three games before aggravating his chest injury in practice ahead […]

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has yet to capitalize on De'Von Achane's (knee) season-ending injury, leaving him firmly behind Ollie Gordon II in the backfield. Wright played just nine offensive snaps in Miami's Week 5 loss to Cincinnati, rushing six times for 11 yards after entering the game questionable with a foot injury. Gordon […]

Hey RotoBallers! As we turn the page to Week 7, it's almost time to set our next round of fantasy lineups. With four teams on a bye and many star-player injuries, managers may need to make tough lineup decisions to secure a win. In this piece, we will look at four players who could disappoint […]

14 games. 28 teams in action. Just one player scored 30+ PPR fantasy points. The lack of explosive performances was Week 6's biggest storyline. Christian McCaffrey, on Monday Night Football, saved the week from the dubious accolade. Still, several players had surprising and encouraging games across the league, and, of course, the not-so-great one. The […]

Hey RotoBallers! With another slate of NFL action in the books, it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. While many may be looking for short-term replacements, we'll take an alternative look in this piece. Below, we will spotlight some sneaky high-upside stashes who could benefit your team in the long run. Who […]

With four more teams on bye weeks in Week 7 and injuries mounting every week, it's the portion of the fantasy football season that demands both creativity and plenty of depth. Especially at running back, where there is so much attrition, it's imperative to have depth options available. Thankfully, multiple players are sharing the workload […]

Joe Mixon hasn't played in 2026, and his attempt to return through Seattle ended before he could sign a contract. For fantasy managers, that matters more than the veteran's reputation or what he accomplished with Houston two years ago. The Seahawks considered Mixon in early October while injuries thinned their running back room. They worked […]

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. could see a larger workload moving forward, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. In six games this season, Tracy has 13 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown, plus four receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. The Giants' backfield saw a major shakeup last week, with Cam […]

Sometimes, fantasy football seems very simple. A team has a clear starting running back, and the RB2 is seen as their direct handcuff. That RB2 seemingly has good upside, as they perform well in limited action and look like a suitable replacement in case of an injury to the starter. But then we see the […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) had a great training camp and preseason, and there was a lot of preseason hype that he would be the top running back for the team this season. He had 15 carries for 59 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Packers and looked like […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) could be a trade candidate at this year's trade deadline, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. In four games this season, Barkley has totaled 36 carries for 182 yards and just four receptions for eight yards. With the Eagles losing four straight games and their starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts, […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is expected to play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport said Jacobs is expected to practice, has been in good shape, and should be active this week. Jacobs was placed on the commissioner's exempt list following domestic violence charges stemming […]

We are now officially one-third of the way through the NFL regular season and nearly halfway through the regular season of most fantasy football leagues. This also means we are rapidly approaching fantasy trade deadlines, which most commonly fall in Weeks 11 or 12. If your fantasy team needs reinforcements or upgrades, act fast—the window […]

With injuries mounting week after week, it's getting harder and harder to find players to cut. Do they have two working legs and a heartbeat? If so, I want 'em! That's obviously an exaggeration, but seriously, you want me to drop Jaylen Waddle? I just lost Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, and Davante Adams! With bye […]

Bucky Irving's Week 7 fantasy production should look a lot more like his Week 5 explosion than last week's frustrating performance. Don't let 46 rushing yards against Pittsburgh fool you. Irving's workload is trending in the right direction, his snap share is climbing, and a date with a Carolina Panthers defense that surrenders 23.3 fantasy […]

The New England Patriots and Chicago Bears kick off Week 7 on Thursday Night Football in the Windy City in an intriguing matchup featuring two young quarterbacks who have become stars and who are central to their teams' futures. Drake Maye and Caleb Williams have plenty of weapons, and both teams have fantasy-relevant players who […]

With six weeks of NFL football for the 2026 campaign in the record books, trends are becoming clear, and there is an abundance of data to sift through for fantasy managers. It also means that a lot has changed since Week 1, and a lot will continue to change as the 2026 season marches on. […]

It has been hard to find consistent RB2 production in fantasy football this season. Injuries have knocked out some popular late-round selections, and teams have been more judiciously splitting roles between multiple players to maximize their talent. One player fantasy managers were hoping they could rely on in 2026 was New York Giants second-year running […]

Could New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) be ramping up for a return soon? In 2025 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Etienne recorded 260 rushing attempts for 1,107 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, coupled with 36 receptions for 292 receiving yards and six additional scores. Following last year's strong performance, Etienne signed a […]
