Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Seth McGowan has played a limited role in his team's offense so far in 2026, recording 146 yards from scrimmage on 36 touches across seven games. The 25-year-old had his usage scaled up in Week 7, logging 11 carries for 46 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. McGowan's growing role could […]

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Kaelon Black had the best game of his young career in Week 7, recording 12 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Black's fantasy upside is limited by the presence of star 49ers back Christian McCaffrey (thigh). Still, Black has seen […]

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Emmett Johnson has seen very limited usage in his team's offense to this point in 2026, recording 19 carries for 62 yards and nine catches for 109 yards on 11 targets. The Chiefs have given almost all of their backfield work to superstar RB1 Kenneth Walker, who currently leads […]

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine scored again Sunday, but the touchdown hides a role that shrank sharply after the Week 6 bye. His one-yard fourth-quarter punch-in made it two consecutive games with a score in the 35-13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, yet he finished with 16 rushing yards on four carries and no […]

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary racked up 55 yards and the game-winning touchdown in the team's Week 7 overtime upset of the Houston Texans, and although the hamstring injuries suffered by Cam Skattebo (hamstring) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) are not believed to be overly serious, should either miss time after a Week […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season. With another full slate of NFL action in the books, it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire to improve our fantasy rosters. But for every addition, we must drop one player. Below, we will […]

Week 8 benches deserve a second look after Week 7's surprise ceilings. Tony Pollard scored three touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns, and a Browns rookie piled up 152 scrimmage yards in the same game without reaching the end zone. Tre Tucker drew 12 targets, Jameson Williams commanded nine, and Geno Smith kept turning to Mason […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) was recently activated from Injured Reserve but was ruled out of the team's Sunday night win over the Chiefs, and when asked about his status on Monday, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters, "We are sticking with our plan," offering no update about his Week 8 availability. Charbonnet […]

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest) remains on Injured Reserve after missing the past four games with a chest injury, but he is expected to return to practice ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup with the Bears, according to Brian Nemhauser of Seattle Sports. What that means for his game status remains […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight is worth adding in 12-team leagues and could provide RB3/flex value against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 if Jeremiyah Love (ankle) remains sidelined, after leading the team's backfield with 43 offensive snaps (53%) in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Denver Broncos and overtaking Tyler Allgeier (38 snaps) after […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) is considered day-to-day after aggravating his existing knee injury during Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, and the injury is not believed to be significant, which is encouraging news after he exited in the fourth quarter and did not return. The […]

Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman is a priority waiver addition in 10-team and deeper leagues ahead of a Week 8 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs after making a compelling case for more playing time in Sunday's 30-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, leading the team's backfield with 30 offensive snaps in his return […]

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is expected to be OK after experiencing discomfort during his 42-yard overtime run in Sunday's 27-21 victory over the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, and while the early outlook is encouraging, his availability for Week 9 has not been confirmed. Skattebo told ESPN's Dan […]

At RotoBaller HQ, we get a jump start on the waiver wire with our Week 8 fantasy football waiver wire rankings. Whether you are looking for a bye-week replacement, a […]

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! Another week has come and gone, and we are at the last game of Week 7. Thursday Night Football ended up being pretty good for us; I cashed quite a few lineups and hopefully can roll with that momentum into this game. The Eagles are going to be a bit shorthanded tonight, […]

Week 7 of the NFL season closes with a Monday Night divisional clash between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. Decimated by injuries, the Eagles enter this matchup missing multiple star players, while the Cowboys have consistently underperformed en route to a 2-4 record. We will bring you Monday Night Football analysis all season, focusing […]

The Texans, Saints, Giants, and 49ers have a bye this week, giving fantasy managers plenty of hurdles to clear to set a strong lineup, on top of the ever-growing injury list. Luckily, for the most part, we made it out of Week 7 mostly unscathed, Monday Night's game notwithstanding. Knock on wood. The waiver wire […]

Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season delivered a little bit of everything, including a winless team finally getting a win and two undefeated teams taking their first loss. We continued to see several big performances from top players, as well as some huge bounce-back showings from players who disappointed last week. However, Week 7 […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) is not worried about his injury. McCaffrey suffered a thigh injury on the second drive of the game. He returned but had only four touches after the injury. McCaffrey said his leg "just died on me. I was just trying to keep it warm and not make […]

Many of you have been confronted by an escalating number of injuries at running back. This has combined with disappointing performances from other backs to create roster dilemmas as you plan for your matchups in Week 8. The emergence of an impactful four-team bye week will also demand attention as players from the Giants, Saints, […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is trending in the right direction ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said Monday morning that Barkley will need to go through warmups to gauge how he feels, but everything looks good for his Week 7 return. […]

Week 7 brought more scoring in the early slate, but "National Tight End Day" still left many of you with lackluster scoring out of some premier names as we look toward Week 8. Let's take an initial pass with our eyes on the horizon to offer up names for both shallow and deep leagues alike. […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on 24 totes in Sunday's 20-3 home victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also caught his lone target for a 15-yard gain. Wilson disappointed in Week 6 when he failed to score a touchdown for the first time in three games, […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker rushed 14 times for 36 yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards in his team's 20-3 loss to the hosting Seattle Seahawks. Walker was shut down by his former team in this one. Week 7 marked the first time the fifth-year pro failed to rush […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey totaled nine carries, 39 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Atlanta Falcons. He also caught six of seven targets for an additional 61 receiving yards. McCaffrey had a very productive day when he was on the field, but his rushing volume […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum saw an increased workload during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Corum has seen his role grow in recent weeks, but he saw heavy usage this weekend. Corum carried the ball 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown in the win. The 25-year-old has now found […]

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not find the end zone in Sunday's 20-17 win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 7, but he still did plenty for his fantasy managers, carrying the ball a whopping 29 times for 116 yards while catching five of his six targets for 27 yards. Gibbs […]

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey did not do much as a rusher in his team's Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals, logging just three carries for six yards. However, the second-year back made a major impact as a receiver, hauling in two catches for 54 yards and a touchdown on two targets. Harvey […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier rushed eight times for 19 yards (2.4 yards per attempt) and caught all three of his targets in the passing game for 30 yards (10.0 yards per reception) in a 30-16 Week 7 loss to the Denver Broncos. He did not score. For the second consecutive week, despite starter […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams had a productive day in a 35-21 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. He recorded 16 carries for 99 yards (6.2 yards per attempt) and a touchdown, while adding two receptions for 22 yards (11.0 yards per catch). However, Williams also lost a fumble, and […]
