Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum looked great throughout the first two weeks of the season. Not only was he running the ball with great efficiency, but he was also handling nearly as much volume as Kyren Williams. However, the entire backfield shifted starting in Week 3, and Corum has logged just 11 carries […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been fantastic this season, posting at least 15 fantasy points (PPR) per game and ranking as the overall RB6 so far. He has been particularly dominant in the passing game, where he has a whopping 20 targets and 16 catches over his last two games alone. That […]

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) remains on injured reserve, and although he is making progress in his recovery from last year's foot injury, there is no timetable for his return to action. Conner has now been sidelined for more than a full year after suffering a season-ending injury in Week 3 of the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. has seen minimal usage on offense through the first four games of his second NFL season. He has logged snaps in every game, but he has yet to log a carry. He has mostly played on passing downs, resulting in two catches for nine receiving yards so far. […]

With the "full" Week 5 slate less than 24 hours away, let's have fun and make bold predictions about positional breakout performances we could see on Sunday. In this roundtable edition of bold predictions, see what RotoBaller writers have to say about KC Concepcion Jr., TreVeyon Henderson, Aaron Jones Sr., Tre' Harris, and more. Below, […]

Tennessee Titans running back Nicholas Singleton has just seven touches through the first four weeks of the season, but he continues to be an intriguing player to stash in dynasty leagues. Fantasy experts generally agreed that he came out of the NFL Draft with more dynasty value than a typical Day 3 pick, and he […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have elevated running back Roman Hemby from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the New England Patriots, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. This news is particularly noteworthy given that Hemby would likely be active if Ashton Jeanty (foot, ankle) isn't able to suit up. Jeanty's […]

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Brooks had handled a larger snap share through the first four weeks with Josh Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list, but it amounted to just 15 carries, 70 rushing yards, three catches, and 24 […]

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III carried only 12 times against New England, exactly half his workload from the previous week, but still managed 75 rushing yards and a touchdown. That gives him a rushing score in three consecutive games and 421 yards on 70 attempts through four weeks. The workload reduction was frustrating […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) is already set to miss the entire 2026 season, and he will likely have trouble carving out a meaningful role when he returns to action next year. This Cardinals team features a very impressive one-two punch of Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeir, and there's no real opportunity for […]

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) ranks 25th at his position in PPR scoring so far this year, and he'll continue to rank as a mid-range RB3/flex option if he plays in Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Stevenson is currently listed as questionable, and while he seemed optimistic about […]

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has been disappointing over the last two weeks, but he could get back onto the fantasy radar against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. Teammate Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is questionable to play, and if he can't suit up, Henderson could occupy the lead-back role. Presumably, if Stevenson […]

Our Key Starters and Tough Calls rundown for Week 5 of the 2026 season helps you make tight lineup calls and find useful streamers. Scott Engel's Week 5 Lineup Spotlights column includes recommended starters and plug-in options. "The King" gives his takes on players who may be generating fantasy anxiety. The NFL players included in […]

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis could have another opening Sunday with Breece Hall (quad) ruled out against Cleveland, although last week's game gave fantasy managers little reason to expect much. Davis played just two offensive snaps against Chicago and did not record a carry or target. Braelon Allen handled all 14 rushing attempts […]

Cleveland Browns running back Raheim Sanders has fantasy football value as a deep-league handcuff behind starter Quinshon Judkins, but he will once again have zero standalone value going into a Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets. It is an enticing matchup for the Browns' backfield -- the Jets have allowed 123.5 rushing yards […]

There is no question that Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is one of the best players at his position in the NFL. He'd likely already be considered a future Hall of Famer had injuries not hampered his production and kept him on the sidelines for so many games in his career. In fantasy football, […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal has seen more work in the run and pass game over the last two weeks. The 25-year-old has seen six carries and six targets over that stretch. Vidal is coming off an 11.6 PPR performance and had the same snap count percentage as Omarion Hampton. He enters Week […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell is coming off his busiest workload of the season. In Week 4, Mitchell saw a season-high 10 carries and out-snapped Omarion Hampton for the first time this season. The 24-year-old was one of Mike McDaniel's most wanted players during free agency and could be on the verge of […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton has disappointed over the first four games of the 2026 season. Hampton was a favored breakout candidate during the offseason and has returned PPR RB22 production. The 23-year-old is averaging 11.2 PPR points per game despite scoring three touchdowns in four games. Without the touchdowns, Hampton would be […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson is coming off one of the most productive rushing efforts of his career, logging three touchdowns last week on 14 carries for 62 yards while adding one catch for five additional yards. The fifth-year pro has now scored in consecutive weeks and will try to keep the momentum going […]

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is listed as the second running back on the team's depth chart, but he operates far behind starter Derrick Henry. Hill, Henry and the Ravens have a difficult Week 5 matchup against an Atlanta Falcons team that ranks as the No. 1 rushing defense in the league, giving up […]

New York Giants running back Najee Harris had nine carries for 30 yards in the 36-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Despite an increased workload over the last two weeks, Harris fumbled in the fourth quarter and did not receive another touch after the mistake. Since Week 3, Harris has played 20% of snaps, starter […]

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) is off the injury report and set to play against the division-rival Washington Commanders. After being limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practices, Skattebo was a full participant on Friday and is set to play in Week 5. In four games, he has 68 carries for 235 yards […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Weekend Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season. The next full slate of NFL action kicks off in just under 24 hours. While most managers are working on their lineups, it's crucial to check the waiver wire for potential late-week stashes and lottery tickets. […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is coming off a solid performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers and hopes to keep it rolling against a leaky Jets run defense. New York has given up 123.5 yards per game on the ground this season, the eighth-worst mark in the NFL. This past week against the Chicago Bears, […]

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen didn't have much to work with against Chicago, but he still managed 59 rushing yards on 14 carries in his first start of the season. The Jets ran only 32 offensive plays, limiting Allen's opportunities, although he handled every running back carry and caught two passes for eight […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off two consecutive monster performances, rushing for 339 yards and four touchdowns over the last two weeks. The former first-round draft pick is averaging 5.8 yards per carry on the season through four games, good for third-best among running backs. One drawback has been his involvement, or […]

Saquon Barkley is out, Miami has lost De'Von Achane for the season, and Seattle remains without Jadarian Price. Those absences have pushed backup running backs into Week 5 lineups, but some have shown considerably more than others. Emanuel Wilson has already handled at least 21 carries twice this season. Ollie Gordon II just delivered his […]

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler signed with the team ahead of Week 4 and immediately saw action, getting a 26.2% snap share and handling five touches for 40 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Ekeler is expected to be a mainstay in the backfield and should play a key role against […]

Week 5 is here, and what an upset! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got their first win of the season, with Bucky Irving carrying the team on his back and head coach Todd Bowles buying more time, for now at least. The Cowboys are puzzled: are they good enough to make the playoffs? Anyway, it's now […]
