Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) is practicing again on Friday, which is a good sign for his availability on Sunday in Tampa against the Buccaneers in Week 3, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Jones came out of the Week 2 win over the division-rival Chicago Bears with a knee injury, but […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our weekly Start 'em and Sit 'em article! This Week 3 matchups analysis and fantasy football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em piece will hopefully help you make winning lineup decisions every week of the fantasy season.  Now that we have two weeks under our belt, we have much more information at our disposal. […]

Week 3 is the first week that actually feels like a season. Two games of usage, snap counts, and defensive tape are now on the board, and the remaining schedule is full of mismatches that will either inflate or crush a player’s ceiling. The Sunday-Monday slate alone has the Ravens and Cowboys in Brazil sitting […]

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Nicholas Singleton has touched the ball only four times for 10 yards through the first two games of his career, but head coach Robert Saleh told reporters Friday that he has been good and that "hopefully we'll get him more carries this week." Both Tony Pollard (ankle) and Tyjae Spears […]

Each week, we will do our best to point you in the direction of the five best running backs or wide receivers to claim for your squad in order to help your season-long depth and potentially your starting roster.

We do this every week! The goal is to give you the confidence that you need to make some tough calls, moving a […]

Hey RotoBallers! The opening game of the Week 3 slate is already behind us, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't still turn to the waiver wire to find any potential sleeper pickups. However, when adding a player, we have to say goodbye to a current member of our fantasy roster. In this piece, we spotlight […]

In this article, you'll find our updated trade rankings, along with several buys and sells for fantasy football, including George Pickens, Emeka Egbuka, Josh Downs, and more. Even though it may seem early to swing your first […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) will be a full participant in the team's practice on Friday, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Pollard did not practice on Wednesday due to ankle soreness, but he was limited on Thursday. Now that he is a full-go on Friday, he should be ready to suit up […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) will be limited in practice on Friday, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Spears missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so his return to the field on Friday should give him at least a chance to suit up this Sunday against the New York Giants. However, he is […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle (toe) appears to be trending toward missing Sunday's game against Cincinnati, according to Nick Farabaugh. Dowdle did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and still was not seen during the open portion of Friday's session. Pittsburgh had not released his final Week 3 designation at the time of this update. […]

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (foot) is doubtful to play in Week 3 on Sunday against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, according to Travis Wingfield of the team's official website. Wright suffered a foot injury in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers and will most likely be ruled out for the weekend. […]

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt is trending down in fantasy football, largely due to his declining role on offense. Croskey-Merritt went from a 49% snap share and 16 carries in Week 1 to a 37% snap share and 12 carries in Week 2. Meanwhile, versatile teammate Rachaad White has stepped into a larger role […]

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd rushed for 11 yards on four carries during Thursday's Week 3 loss against the Atlanta Falcons. He also caught two of his three targets for a modest seven receiving yards. Somehow, Lloyd's 11 rushing yards led the team, and his four carries tied with Chris Brooks for the […]

Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson played a minimal role in his team's 35-14 Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, recording four carries for six yards and one reception for 10 yards on three targets. With Packers RB1 Josh Jacobs currently on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List, Johnson has been given […]

Week 2 was a bloodbath. If you came out unscathed, consider yourself lucky. Many other fantasy managers did not have that fortune. A whole lot of fantasy managers out there are in need of replacement options. There are also disappointing players who need to hit the bench. We are still early in the season, but […]

The disparity between what we saw in Week 1 and what played out in Week 2 was ridiculous. Every team that got blown out the first week of the season ended up winning outright last weekend. Hopefully we can start developing consistent patterns now that we’ve entered the third week of the year. Something to... […]

After an absolutely wild and high-scoring opening week of the 2026 fantasy football season, Week 2 reminded us just how quickly things can change in fantasy football due to injuries and even weather. Some of the players who dominated in Week 1 came back to earth, while injuries and changing workloads have already created some […]

This is a smaller late-night slate than last week, but we have more star power on this slate. Georgia Tech's new-look offense heads to Palo Alto to pad some stats, but that's just the beginning. We have a Mountain West showdown in Reno with Air Force in town. The marquee matchup features some sailgating in […]

The nighttime is the right time at DraftKings! DraftKings' night slates feature marquee prime-time matchups in a standalone slate, rather than FanDuel adding all the biggest games to one monster slate. Last week's prime time slate was very entertaining. We should see more of the same this week. USC and Oregon have a nice little […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the third edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. Week 3 of the NFL season kicked off last night, but that doesn't mean we can't scan the waiver wire for any potential lottery tickets. This week, we will look at an emerging rookie running back in Tennessee who could find more […]

We have another 12 games for the main slate this week. Unlike last week, most of the QBs are more affordable. However, they need to be, since RB is loaded with great options in great matchups. Most teams are beginning conference play this week, but not every team in every conference is good. These gargantuan […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson totaled 29 carries, 194 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Thursday's Week 3 win over the Green Bay Packers. He also caught two passes for an additional 19 receiving yards, bringing him to a total of 213 scrimmage yards in the effort. This was a truly exceptional performance, […]

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey (hamstring) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to the team. Harvey came out of the Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury and was held out this past […]

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday, according to the team. Dobbins was pulled from Sunday's Week 2 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars with hamstring cramping and never returned. He only handled 10 carries for 36 yards and was not involved as a receiver before turning […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has had a quiet start to the 2026 season, recording 24 carries for 54 yards and seven catches for 44 yards on seven targets across his team's first two games. While Judkins remains the clear RB1 in Cleveland, he hasn't quite dominated backfield work the way fantasy managers were […]

Denver Broncos rookie fourth-round running back Jonah Coleman (ankle), who was one of the most popular waiver-wire targets in fantasy football leagues this week, was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, fellow RBs J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) and RJ Harvey (hamstring) were both upgraded […]

According to James Palmer, Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson is set to see more opportunities on Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Palmer noted that the second-year back needed time to adjust to the scheme, but he appears primed for a bigger workload tonight. In Week 1, the former Iowa standout did not […]

Indeed, we often see even some of the best players in the NFL have entire seasons in which they don't produce well. For example, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had an abysmal 2025 season, at least by his standards. Trying to trade for him that year wouldn't have resulted in you winning your fantasy […]

Welcome to Week 3 of fantasy football and another edition of Warning Signals. Like any fantasy football player, I’m always looking for a reason behind why a player busted in a given week (or weeks) or how NFL roster changes might affect players I have on my roster. In this column, I share a handful […]
