Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. was the team's workhorse in Week 8, while Ashton Jeanty was a non-factor on early downs. Washington had 25 carries for 83 yards, while Jeanty managed just two carries for nine yards but added three receptions for 64 yards in the 38-33 win over the New […]

Every week, every week, there is something. This week, we saw Ashton Jeanty essentially get benched, more or less, for the rookie Mike Washington Jr. This backfield just got a whole lot messier. Will this stick or was it a one-week blip? Fantasy managers can't be sure, which makes this situation even more challenging. Fantasy […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier had a career game in Week 8 and should be rostered in all formats moving forward. Allgeier totaled 11 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown, and added five receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown in the 33-30 comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys. After Jeremiyah Love went […]

Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season delivered a little bit of everything, including a historic zero-completion performance in the rain and the end to the Vikings' quest for an undefeated campaign. We continued to see several big performances from top players, as well as some huge bounce-back showings from players who disappointed last week. […]

It's November, and amazingly we're already in Week 9! In most fantasy leagues, about five weeks remain in the regular season, so there is still plenty of time to make a playoff push. The Steelers and Titans are the only teams on a Week 9 bye. At RotoBaller HQ, we get a head start on […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We had a big night on Thursday Night Football. If Tetairoa McMillan had scored a touchdown instead of Jalen Coker, it would have been an even better night! Now it's time to lock in and cap Week 8 off with a bang. We have a banger matchup between a pair of NFC […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason rushed eight times for 20 yards in his team's 19-15 loss to the Detroit Lions. Mason couldn't get anything going in Week 8 against one of the league's better run defenses. For what it's worth, backfield mate Aaron Jones Sr. didn't find much room to work either, but he […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in his team's 27-6 rout of the Cleveland Browns. He failed to gain a yard on his lone catch (two targets). Warren was electric again on Sunday, carving up a porous Browns defense to tie a career-high in rushing […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley spoke with members of the media (including Brooks Kubena of The Athletic) regarding a recent report that indicated he would not be dealt ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. When asked about his future with the Eagles, Barkley said, "I would love to be here. I don't like […]

Week 8 of the NFL season closes with a Monday Night clash that could well prove to be an NFC title game preview. The 5-2 Bears travel to the unfriendly confines of Lumen Field to face the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks. Both squads have looked like serious postseason contenders so far, and this MNF […]

The Seattle Seahawks acquired guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts last week, and they might not be done making moves ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. According to Corbin K. Smith of Emerald City Spectrum, the Seahawks "have been linked to several other potential deals." Smith noted that while the Seahawks could make […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell rushed for 140 yards on 25 carries during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Denver Broncos are reportedly interested in acquiring superstar running back Jonathan Taylor from the Indianapolis Colts, per Zac Stevens. The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly looking to move Taylor ahead of the upcoming trade deadline. The Broncos recently placed RJ Harvey (knee) on Injured Reserve and are now looking to make an upgrade to their […]

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 23 carries, 153 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also caught two of his four targets for an additional 15 receiving yards. Interestingly, this was Gibbs' lowest catch and receiving yard totals of the season. However, that's a […]

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols (foot) is considered questionable to return during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. McNichols was forced to exit during the second half of this game due to a foot issue, and it's unclear if he'll be able to finish out this game. Before leaving, McNichols carried the ball five […]

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed for 55 yards on 12 carries during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught eight of his nine targets for an additional 46 receiving yards. Finally, he also lost a fumble. Brown turned in a modest rushing stat line, but he had a terrific […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard rushed 21 times for 117 yards (5.6 yards per attempt) and two touchdowns, while adding three receptions for 20 yards (6.7 yards per reception), in a heartbreaking 43-36 loss in overtime to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. Pollard did have one fumble, but the Titans did not lose […]

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III put together yet another productive game in his team's 36-10 Week 8 win over the Baltimore Ravens, recording 101 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 23 touches. Cook III is in the midst of an excellent season in 2026, logging 707 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 138 […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins was one of many players on his team to disappoint in Week 8, recording just 49 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches in Cleveland's 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Judkins came into the game off his best performance of the season, logging 104 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns […]

We saw plenty of poor weather, third-string touchdowns, and a handful of slate-altering injuries, so allow us to help collect those thoughts as we proceed to Week 9. This gives us a chance to take stock of potential waiver adds in both shallow and deep leagues alike. Let's see what the early adds look like […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten dominated in his team's 42-7 Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts, recording 16 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown, and hauling in two catches for 55 yards and an additional score. Tuten has been very consistent in 2026, recording at least 87 yards from scrimmage in five […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton was hopeful for better results coming out of the bye week, but that wasn't the case on Sunday. Hampton continues to struggle to find any room to run and was once again unsuccessful on Sunday. The 23-year-old carried the ball nine times for 20 yards and hauled in […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor might've played his last game with the team on Sunday. There has been a lot of trade speculation over the last few days. Taylor did suit up for the Colts in Week 8 despite the organization saying they've been discussing trades involving the stud running back. Taylor appeared to […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson played a major role in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. So far this season, Johnson has mostly been a non-factor with Kenneth Walker III leading the way on the ground. Johnson was once again quiet on the ground with one carry for 15 yards. However, Johnson played […]

Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman saw an increased workload during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fellow back RJ Harvey (knee) was recently placed on the Injured Reserve, so Coleman moved into the No. 2 role in the backfield. The rookie back carried the ball 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams received 24 carries in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals but managed just 56 rushing yards, a sharp reversal from his 155-yard performance against Philadelphia in Week 7. He averaged only 2.3 yards per attempt, with no run longer than six yards, as Dallas struggled to establish […]

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. saw his workload surge during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Coming into this game, Washington has primarily been the backup with fewer than 10 carries in every game. That changed on Sunday when Washington carried the ball 25 times for 83 yards in the […]

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer continues to have the support of owner Jerry Jones, who said he is not considering any coaching changes following Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. Dallas held a 24-10 lead early in the fourth quarter before allowing Arizona to rally and force […]
