The Denver Broncos' injury report is an estimation on Wednesday since they did not actually hold a practice, but they listed running back RJ Harvey (hamstring) as a non-participant, according to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Harvey apparently picked up a hamstring injury in the team's Week 1 season-opening loss to the division-rival Kansas […]

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday. Henderson suffered an ankle injury in training camp in late August that kept him from suiting up in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks last Wednesday night. But now that he is back as a […]

New Orleans Saints veteran running back Alvin Kamara (knee) will make his season debut in the Week 2 game on the road in Baltimore against the Ravens, head coach Kellen Moore told Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. After dealing with an MCL sprain in his knee for most of training camp in the […]

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd was not particularly efficient in his team's Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, recording 13 carries for 37 yards. However, Lloyd finished the game with nearly double the number of carries as Packers RB2 Chris Brooks (seven). Based on the workload distribution in the season opener, Lloyd […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (hamstring) was a limited participant in his team's practice on Wednesday. The 24-year-old missed time during training camp with a knee injury, but he returned in time for Week 1 and recorded 124 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 touches in his team's blowout win over the Carolina […]

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (ankle/knee) was a limited participant in his team's practice on Wednesday due to ankle and knee ailments. The 27-year-old is coming off a monster performance in Week 1, recording 134 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 19 touches in his team's 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers. The severity […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne was a healthy scratch in Week 1, but his fantasy situation changed quickly this week. Jordan Mason is headed to short-term injured reserve with a fractured thumb after handling 15 carries in Sunday's win over Green Bay, leaving a meaningful chunk of the backfield workload up for grabs. Claiborne […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. will head into the Week 2 divisional clash against the Chicago Bears this weekend as the team's unquestioned RB1 after the news that Jordan Mason is heading to the short-term Injured Reserve due to a fractured thumb. The 31-year-old veteran took a back seat to Mason in the […]

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Wednesday that running back Jordan Mason (thumb) has a small fracture in his thumb, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Mason's thumb has been fixed, but he will head to the short-term Injured Reserve, which will cause him to miss at least the next four games. […]

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is making progress after returning to practice on Monday, and he should be able to do more in practice on Wednesday, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. "Hopefully, that continues to trend in the right direction," Vrabel said. Henderson was inactive […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai came back from a hyperextended right knee and immediately made the backfield look more like a real two-man setup. He rushed 10 times for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 59-37 win over Carolina, adding two catches for 24 yards. D'Andre Swift still led the way with 18 […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker (hamstring) was dressed and practicing Wednesday, according to Greg Auman. Tucker missed the season opener against Cincinnati after being listed as doubtful, so getting back on the field to start Week 2 is a positive sign. He did not practice last Wednesday, then was limited Thursday and Friday […]

Week 2 of fantasy football is upon us, and we can begin to extrapolate trends from last season based on Week 1 performances. Week 1 provided serious fireworks, more so than usual. Many offenses were in midseason form, which is great for fantasy teams. Week 1 also provided a glimpse into how ready NFL defenses […]

Welcome to the Wednesday after Week 1, the time to victory-lap your initially successful sleepers and breakouts while panicking about the busts. Week 1 is a time to watch for usage and opportunities. Some risers, like Chuba Hubbard, triumphed over position competition. Some fallers, like Travis Etienne Jr., were nowhere close to a bellcow title. […]

The fantasy football season got off to a high-scoring start in Week 1, and several teams were especially impressive with new-look or overhauled offenses. While there weren't many running back injuries, several spots stood out as places to find value as teams rotate running backs through as part of a timeshare at the position. With […]

Week 2 of the 2026 NFL and fantasy football season kicks off Thursday night with what is probably the best game on the entire schedule. The Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions both escaped Week 1 with dramatic wins, but they did it in very different ways. Buffalo went into Houston and beat the Texans 36-31 […]

The Bills left Houston with a high-scoring 36-31 victory, the Lions survived a late Saints rally to triumph 31-30 in overtime, and Philadelphia defeated Washington 24-22 to notch an early divisional win. Week 1 is also […]

Fantasy managers always need to be careful not to overreact to Week 1. This is especially true this year because games are averaging 53.3 points per game, not counting Monday Night's contest. Six games finished with more than 60 points. 10 teams had more than 65 snaps. These kinds of stats can overinflate the box […]

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard proved that he was the primary option out of the backfield during the team's Week 1 loss against the Chicago Bears. Hubbard played 71% of the offensive snaps with 49 rushing yards, 38 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. For comparison, teammate Jonathon Brooks played just 19% of the snaps, […]

Week 1 of the fantasy football season has come and gone, and although we can't overreact to the results of the opening slate, there were some takeaways that are baked into these Week 2 fantasy football projections. Below, see the early-week projected output for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Patrick Mahomes, Parker Washington, TreVeyon Henderson, David Montgomery, Devaughn Vele, […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price was highly efficient in his NFL debut last week, rushing for 52 yards on 10 carries against the New England Patriots. He also caught two passes. Price certainly didn't have an every-down workload. In fact, he played just under 50% of the offensive snaps. However, he was highly efficient […]

The Minnesota Vikings worked out three free agent running backs on Tuesday, including veteran Jerome Ford, according to Will Ragatz of Bring Me The News. The timing of these workouts is particularly relevant, given that starting running back Jordan Mason (thumb) suffered an apparent thumb injury during Week 1. Officially, the team is calling it […]

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson didn't touch the field on offense during the team's Week 1 shootout win against the Carolina Panthers. The Bears dropped 57 points on Sunday and gave 31 touches to their running backs, but Johnson was not one of them. Chicago exclusively used D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai out of […]
