Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Montgomery suffered the injury during Houston's Week 5 victory over Tennessee and missed the following two games before […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black deserves consideration on the Week 9 waiver wire after showing what he can provide when Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is sidelined. Black rushed 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in San Francisco's Week 7 loss to Atlanta, including a 30-yard scoring run. He played a season-high 47% […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell has made a compelling case for a waiver-wire addition after rushing for 228 yards on 39 carries over the last two games. He followed his 88-yard performance against Carolina in Week 7 with a career-high 140 yards on 25 carries in Sunday's 16-0 victory over Atlanta. Gainwell played […]

Week 8 of the NFL season closes with a Monday Night clash that could well prove to be an NFC title game preview. The 5-2 Bears travel to the unfriendly confines of Lumen Field to face the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks. Both squads have looked like serious postseason contenders so far, and this MNF […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We had a big night on Thursday Night Football. If Tetairoa McMillan had scored a touchdown instead of Jalen Coker, it would have been an even better night! Now it's time to lock in and cap Week 8 off with a bang. We have a banger matchup between a pair of NFC […]

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) is expected to remain with the team through the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

It's November, and amazingly we're already in Week 9! In most fantasy leagues, about five weeks remain in the regular season, so there is still plenty of time to make a playoff push. The Steelers and Titans are the only teams on a Week 9 bye. At RotoBaller HQ, we get a head start on […]

Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season delivered a little bit of everything, including a historic zero-completion performance in the rain and the end to the Vikings' quest for an undefeated campaign. We continued to see several big performances from top players, as well as some huge bounce-back showings from players who disappointed last week. […]

We saw plenty of poor weather, third-string touchdowns, and a handful of slate-altering injuries, so allow us to help collect those thoughts as we proceed to Week 9. This gives us a chance to take stock of potential waiver adds in both shallow and deep leagues alike. Let's see what the early adds look like […]

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. was the team's workhorse in Week 8, while Ashton Jeanty was a non-factor on early downs. Washington had 25 carries for 83 yards, while Jeanty managed just two carries for nine yards but added three receptions for 64 yards in the 38-33 win over the New […]

Every week, every week, there is something. This week, we saw Ashton Jeanty essentially get benched, more or less, for the rookie Mike Washington Jr. This backfield just got a whole lot messier. Will this stick or was it a one-week blip? Fantasy managers can't be sure, which makes this situation even more challenging. Fantasy […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier had a career game in Week 8 and should be rostered in all formats moving forward. Allgeier totaled 11 carries for 147 yards and a touchdown, and added five receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown in the 33-30 comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys. After Jeremiyah Love went […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason rushed eight times for 20 yards in his team's 19-15 loss to the Detroit Lions. Mason couldn't get anything going in Week 8 against one of the league's better run defenses. For what it's worth, backfield mate Aaron Jones Sr. didn't find much room to work either, but he […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in his team's 27-6 rout of the Cleveland Browns.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell rushed for 140 yards on 25 carries during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols (foot) is considered questionable to return during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. McNichols was forced to exit during the second half of this game due to a foot issue, and it's unclear if he'll be able to finish out this game. Before leaving, McNichols carried the ball five […]
