Keaton Mitchell a Risky Flex Option Against Packers

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell has seen more and more snaps as each week goes on, but it hasn't exactly turned into enough production for fantasy managers. The past two games, he's seen a season-high 39% and 35% snap share, but has only produced finishes of RB35 and RB64. Derrick Henry should get plenty […]

TreVeyon Henderson Injury Report: Will Henderson Play in Week 17 for Fantasy Football?

In their first season under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots are back in the postseason and still in the race for the AFC East and the top seed in the AFC, which would earn them a bye week in the playoffs. One of the keys to their success has been the emergence of […]

Aaron Jones Sr. Scores TD In Win Against Lions

The Minnesota Vikings' hampered offense looked helpless for much of Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions, but running back Aaron Jones Sr. was still able to scratch out a solid fantasy day with 53 yards rushing, three catches for 10 yards, and a touchdown in a Vikings win. Playing on a short week, Minnesota was […]

Derrick Henry Remains Low-End RB1 in Week 17

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has faced some tough times this season in regard to ball security and questionable coaching decisions. While he registered his fourth fumble of the year last week against the New England Patriots, he still accrued 128 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Tyler Huntley is likely to be […]

Kimani Vidal Questionable for Saturday, Risky Start if Active

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal is in a precarious position heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Houston Texans. Vidal is officially questionable after sustaining a neck strain last week. He managed a limited practice on Friday but was largely ineffective before exiting the game, posting just 2.2 yards per carry. He […]

High-Upside Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks: Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 17

With three games of the Week 17 slate already in the books, some managers might already be facing a major deficit in their championship matchup. If you were facing Dak Prescott, Jordan Addison, or RJ Harvey, your current math cup is likely not in your favor. However, there are still plenty of opportunities left to […]

Jaylen Warren Climbing up the Ranks After a Monster Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren exploded in Week 16 with 143 rushing yards (10.21 YPC) and two touchdowns, both of which came in the second half from 45 yards out. Backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell also had a monster game, with 21.30 fantasy points. This Steelers backfield has become an actual running back by committee […]

Tony Pollard Providing More Value of Late, Should be Considered an RB2 for Week 17

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has been on a heater the last three games, scoring three touchdowns, rushing for 367 yards (6.12 YPC), and averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game during this stretch. It's by far the best stretch of the season for him, as in the previous 13 weeks, he had only rushed […]

Omarion Hampton Could See a Massive Workload on Saturday

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton continues to separate himself as the most dynamic option in the backfield, recording an 85-yard, one-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Averaging 5.3 yards per carry, Hampton was far more explosive than teammate Kimani Vidal, who is now dealing with a neck injury. Even if Vidal is […]

Bhayshul Tuten Limited in Practice on Thursday, Questionable for Sunday

According to the Jaguars' injury report, Bhayshul Tuten (finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Tuten did not play in the Jaguars' Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to this finger injury, and it was initially reported that he could miss multiple games, so it's encouraging to see him log consecutive limited […]

Nick Chubb Is a Shaky Play in Week 17

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has been a regular part of the team's running back rotation this season, but his role in Week 17 against the Chargers is a little murky. Woody Marks is ready to return from an ankle injury after missing Week 16, and Jawhar Jordan had a nice breakout while Marks […]

Jawhar Jordan Is a High-Risk Flex Play

Houston Texans running back Jawhar Jordan has impressed the last two weeks, but he's high-risk this week since his role is uncertain as his team visits the Chargers on Saturday afternoon. The 26-year-old broke out in his NFL debut in Week 15, taking 15 carries for 101 yards against the Cardinals. He followed that up […]

Should Woody Marks Be Back in Your Lineup Against the Chargers?

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) missed last week's game against the Raiders after sustaining an injury in Week 15 against Arizona, but he had full participation in practice and has no injury status for this week, indicating he should be a full go in Week 17. The Texans are in a tough matchup […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Slate (12/27/25)

DFS has been even more of a slippery slope this year, with it becoming even more trendy to quit before "meaningless" bowl games. Where else can you win a trophy full of piping hot baked beans or soak your coach with iced coffee? Those are just two of the things that you don't see every […]

Josh Jacobs Off Injury Report, Good to Go For Week 17

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is off the injury report and is good to go on Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Jacobs was limited all three days of practice this week with a nagging knee injury he suffered in Week 11 against the New York Giants. He played just 40% of […]

Alvin Kamara Listed as a Non-Participant on Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) was an estimated non-participant in Thursday's practice as the Saints prepare to face the Tennessee Titans. Kamara suffered a knee injury and an ankle injury on an ugly hip-drop tackle in Week 12, which has caused him to miss the previous four games. With Kamara not practicing […]

Emanuel Wilson in Risky Flex Territory Against Ravens

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was solidly effective in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears, and looks to keep his run going as he and the Packers will host the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in Week 17. Wilson led the running attack for the Packers even with starting running back Josh Jacobs active. […]

Josh Jacobs More of an RB2 Fantasy Option in Week 17

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) is not on the injury report following three limited practice sessions, and he is good to go for the Packers' pivotal Week 17 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Jacobs saw his lowest snap percentage (39%) and took just 12 carries for 36 yards in limited […]

David Montgomery to Play Despite Illness

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (illness) will be active for Thursday's road bout with the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day, per the team. The veteran appeared on Detroit's practice report on Tuesday, missing the session due to illness. After logging a limited practice on Wednesday, it would seem Montgomery will be able to play […]

Samaje Perine Working Toward Fantasy Viability

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine has garnered a greater role in the offense since returning from an ankle injury a few weeks back, absorbing at least seven touches in four straight outings. Backfield mate Chase Brown has still operated as Cincinnati's clear lead back. However, Perine has begun eating into the former's workload on […]

Javonte Williams Leaves with Shoulder Injury

According to Tommy Yarrish of the team, Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's road matchup with their division-rival Washington Commanders. Williams exited Christmas Day's contest in the first half after picking up a shoulder injury. Before leaving, he'd racked up 54 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, […]

Kyle Monangai Holds Standalone Value Despite RBBC

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has emerged as an integral part of the team's offensive attack and presents as a solid flex play despite splitting time with backfield mate D'Andre Swift. The 23-year-old began the season minimally involved in the Bears' offense, averaging just seven carries a game through the campaign's first eight […]

Kenneth Gainwell Overtaking Warren as Steelers' RB1?

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has come on strong in recent weeks, solidifying himself as an excellent fantasy asset over the back half of the season. Gainwell popped off earlier in the campaign in backfield mate Jaylen Warren's (hip) stead, although he'd operated in a secondary role for most of the season. However, in […]
