Los Angeles Chargers running back Keaton Mitchell hasn't turned his explosiveness into fantasy production yet this year. The 24-year-old has nine carries for 33 yards, with his longest run going for 11 yards through two games. He has seen minimal touches and is the clear RB2 behind Omarion Hampton. Mitchell enters Week 3 as RotoBaller's […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai enters a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football without an injury designation. The former seventh-round pick was a DNP earlier in the week due to a knee injury, but he followed it with two full practice sessions. He should be good to go for his typical […]

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has a lower overall floor and ceiling in Monday night's home matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 27-year-old has been solid thus far in 2026, averaging nearly five yards per carry (4.97) on 34 totes across the first two contests. Unfortunately, quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) will miss time, dropping […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed running back Travis Homer to their active 53-man roster on Saturday, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. The Steelers are looking for more RB depth going into Sunday's Week 3 divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals, with Rico Dowdle (toe) already ruled out and Jaylen Warren (shoulder) listed as questionable. […]

Two weeks into an NFL season is when dynasty managers start talking themselves into moves they would have laughed at in August. A slow start looks permanent. A veteran scores three touchdowns and feels safe again. That creates opportunities. That does not mean the first two games should be ignored. We have snaps, touches, targets, […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (abdomen) did not participate in Thursday's practice and was a limited participant in Friday's practice, but is available for a Monday Night Football matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 3. In a Week 2 victory over the Tennessee Titans, Bigsby was thrust into a larger role due to […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (neck/shoulder) suffered a stinger injury in a 24-20 Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans, but will be available for Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears in Week 3. Barkley was a limited participant in practice on Thursday before upgrading to full practice participation on Friday. According to […]

Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman (ankle) is being placed on short-term Injured Reserve with a high ankle sprain, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Coleman had already been ruled out for Denver's Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams and will now remain out through at least Week 6. Coleman got his first chance […]

Across his first two games of 2026, Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier has recorded 22 carries for 71 yards and four receptions for 18 yards on four targets. Allgeier may eventually give way to rookie Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love. However, the two have split touches almost exactly 50/50 so far, and neither back […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (abdomen) will play Monday night against Chicago, according to Andrew DiCecco. Bigsby missed Thursday's practice, then returned Friday as a limited participant. He ended up with 13 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown against Tennessee last week while Saquon Barkley missed a chunk of the game with a […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) will play Monday night against Chicago, according to Andrew DiCecco. Barkley was limited Thursday before practicing in full Friday, and he said that he expected to be ready. The stinger knocked him out early against Tennessee, but he returned in the third quarter and finished with four carries […]

We're now headed to the third week of the 2026 NFL season, and we've already seen plenty of unexpected things happen. The Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers are 0-2, while the Carolina Panthers have one of the best offenses in football. In this unexpected landscape, it won't hurt to get bold every once in […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Monday night's game against Philadelphia. Monangai sat out Thursday's practice before returning as a full participant Friday, and he is no longer listed on the final injury report. The second-year back has gotten 12 touches in each of Chicago's first two […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love has flashed through two games, but the workload still is not heavy enough to make him an easy Week 3 start against San Francisco. Love has 20 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown, along with five catches for 25 yards. He handled 12 touches against Seattle last week, […]

Tennessee Titans running back Michael Carter has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Giants, according to Mike Garafolo. The move comes with Tyjae Spears questionable because of an ankle injury after missing Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited practice Friday. Spears has 10 carries for 53 yards and […]

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned last week and immediately found work in the passing game, which is where most of his Week 3 appeal comes from. Kamara managed only 15 yards on nine carries against Baltimore but caught five of six targets for another seven yards. Travis Etienne Jr. actually played more […]

Tennessee Titans running back Nicholas Singleton could see a few more carries against the New York Giants after making his NFL debut last week. Singleton was inactive in Week 1, then ran four times for 10 yards against Philadelphia. Head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that the rookie is "going in the right direction" and […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is one of the few running backs in the NFL that has a consistent, and very large, role in a good offense in the NFL. Players like him are extremely valuable in fantasy football leagues. The RB position is extremely scarce in leagues with standard rosters, and it's […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. has a favorable matchup with New Orleans in Week 3, but the workload still makes him tough to use. Washington has 10 carries for 48 yards through two games, with seven of those attempts coming in the opener. He dropped to three carries for seven yards against […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor's career would likely be on a Hall of Fame trajectory had he not missed so much time due to injuries in his first six seasons in the NFL. He's showing no signs of slowing down this season. Through two games, he's rushed for 190 yards and four rushing touchdowns […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has maintained a sizable role through the first two weeks of the season, and he remains on the RB3/flex radar for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. The 25-year-old now has 10+ carries in each of the first two games so far, and he's averaging an impressive 6.1 […]

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White had a strong performance in Week 2's loss to the Cowboys, handling seven carries for 43 yards and adding six catches (six targets) for 40 yards as a receiver. White earned more work after a quiet Week 1 and ended up evenly splitting touches with Jacory Croskey-Merritt, with 13 […]

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt was bottled up for only 48 yards on 13 touches in Week 2's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. And after leading Rachaad White in touches, 17 to nine, in Week 1, the two each saw 13 touches apiece in Week 2. White looked good and produced 83 total yards […]

This special edition of our Key Starters and Tough Calls feature for Week 3 of the 2026 fantasy football season includes unique and necessary recommendations. Scott Engel's Lineup Spotlights columns usually focus tightly on a limited selection of players. This week, with widespread injury issues stirring so much fantasy anxiety, we advise you on how […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams is averaging under 3.0 yards per carry through two games so far in 2026. The Cowboys' offensive line has struggled in the absence of star left guard Tyler Smith (thumb), who's currently on injured reserve, meaning he won't return until Week 5 at the earliest. Williams thus will likely […]

The 2026 NFL season heads into Week 3 with another full slate of intriguing touchdown opportunities. Rather than chasing the shortest prices, we're focusing on players whose roles, matchup, and usage create value at the number. As always, the key with volatile markets like touchdown props is price sensitivity. A player can be a strong […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is coming off his best performance as he enters Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old was the PPR RB7 in Week 2 with 18.5 fantasy points. However, Hampton has lost a fumble each week and could start losing the coach's trust if he loses another one […]

Rookies are the subject of plenty of intrigue in fantasy football, and with good reason. Everyone's chasing the first-year breakout seasons of players like wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin), WR Ja'Marr Chase, and RB Ezekiel Elliott, all of whom were legitimate league-winners in their inaugural NFL seasons. They are, of course, outliers. But in fantasy […]
