Adrian Peterson Limited Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (abdomen) was limited in practice on Thursday. Peterson wasn't listed on the injury report on Wednesday, so this is something to watch for the aging future Hall of Famer. He had 12 touches in the Week 7 win, carrying the ball 11 times for 29 yards. He also caught […]

No Practice For Devonta Freeman

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) did not take part in practice on Thursday. Freeman suffered an ankle injury in the Thursday night loss to the Eagles last week and is off to a bad start if he wants to play on Monday night against the Buccaneers in Week 8. Wayne Gallman worked […]

Mark Ingram II Misses Another Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) and cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles) both missed practice on Thursday. It's Ingram's second straight missed practice after he suffered an ankle injury in Week 6. The Ravens had a bye last week, so the fact that he's still not practicing doesn't bode well for his availability in […]

Chargers Player Tests Positive For COVID-19

The Los Angeles Chargers had a player test positive for COVID-19, and that player and all of his close contacts have been told to stay home and isolate, according to sources. The Chargers were informed of this on Wednesday night. The facility is open on Thursday, but all meetings will be virtual. The Chargers are […]

Giants Putting Will Hernandez On COVID-19 List

The New York Giants are placing left guard Will Hernandez on the COVID-19 list on Thursday, according to sources. Hernandez and all of his close contacts are being quarantined while the rest of the team is proceeding as normal for practice. They have quarantined all but four of their offensive lineman after one of them […]

Packers Being Cautious With Aaron Jones

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf), who did not practice on Wednesday, is itching to get back onto the field after sitting out in Week 7. Jones thinks he can play in Week 8 against the Vikings and wants to play, but the Packers medical staff continues to be very conservative, especially with […]

Christian McCaffrey Will Not Play In Thursday's Game

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) will not be taken off Injured Reserve and activated for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. McCaffrey returned to practice this week, but the short week probably prevented him from getting back up to speed and ready for game action. Mike Davis can be started by fantasy owners […]

James Conner An RB2 Against Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has been a productive fantasy option for much of the season, having found the end zone four times in six games. He may struggle to reach his normal production levels in Week 8, however, against a tough Baltimore Ravens run defense. Baltimore is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per […]

Kareem Hunt An RB1 Versus Raiders

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has managed to find the end zone seven times through seven games thus far in the 2020 season. He draws an excellent Week 8 matchup against a leaky Las Vegas Raiders run defense that ranks just 29th in DVOA and is allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to […]

Tevin Coleman Not Worth Starting If Active In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (knee) has a chance to make his return for the team in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. He has been out since suffering a knee sprain in Week 2. With both Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) out for the game, the team is certainly […]

Jerick McKinnon Is A Risky Flex Option In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon had an extremely disappointing showing in Week 7. He only earned three carries in a game where he was assumed to be the team's primary rusher. Head coach Kyle Shanahan later said that the team had been planning to rest him due to his heavy workload to start […]

JaMycal Hasty Is A Flex Option In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back JaMycal Hasty is averaging 5.2 yards per carry over 20 carries on the year and is coming off a solid game where he gained 57 yards on just nine carries. The 49ers will go into their Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks extremely shorthanded at running back. Hasty […]

Christian McCaffrey Has A Chance To Play Thursday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) arrived to practice on Tuesday with a red non-contact jersey on, but he then took it off and put on a regular jersey. It signals that he at least got in a limited practice on Thursday, which could put him on track to return from Injured Reserve and […]

Tevin Coleman, Jordan Reed Return To Practice

The San Francisco 49ers opened their 21-day practice window for running back Tevin Coleman (knee) and tight end Jordan Reed (knee) on Wednesday. Both players are still on the team's Injured Reserve, so they're not listed on the official injury report leading up to Week 8 against the Seahawks. If they make it through the […]

The NFL season is back, and we cannot waste our opportunity to make some cash. We’ve seen crazy upsets so far, and we’ve seen a lot of money won. Tonight, we have another shot with the Carolina Panthers hosting the Atlanta Falcons. On MKF, there are no massive tournaments where you have to get ridiculously […]

Alvin Kamara A Yards-After-The Catch Beast

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has become the focal point of the team's passing offense with wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) out since Week 1. Emmanuel Sanders also missed the Week 7 game after going on the COVID-19 list. Kamara leads the league in target rate (35.6 percent) on his 149 total […]

No Practice For Phillip Lindsay Wednesday

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday. An independent neurologist is expected to determine whether Lindsay will be able to play in Week 8 against the Chargers. As of now, consider him questionable to face the Bolts on Sunday, making him an extremely risky […]

Joe Mixon Held Out Of Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. The Bengals continue to say that Mixon is day-to-day, but everything else points to him being week-to-week and highly questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Titans. As of now, there's a good chance that Mixon will be questionable for Week […]

Mark Ingram II Misses Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Ingram injured his ankle in Week 6 and had the Week 7 bye to heal up, but he's still in danger of missing his second straight game. A questionable tag could be coming this weekend against the Steelers, a team […]

Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB1

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a low-end RB1 against a Carolina team allowing the fourth-most points to fantasy RBs. Gurley has seen at least 14 carries and 47 rushing yards in all seven games and has gotten over 55 rushing yards in six of seven games. Last time these two teams played, […]

Malcolm Brown A Deep Flex Option In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown isn't a great fantasy option, but he's clearly a flex option in most weeks in deeper leagues, especially in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. He leads the team in running back snaps this season and he's been getting a lot of the goal-line work. With four teams […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Has A Good Matchup For Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson needed some time to get his feet under him to start the year, but he's rolling heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. He's the RB21 on the year despite being a non-factor in two games this season, and he's averaging just over 12 point-per-reception […]

Dalvin Cook Expects To Be Active Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) expects to return to action in Week 8 against the Packers. Cook was injured in Week 5 and missed the Week 6 contest before the team's Week 7 bye. He was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, which is a good sign, but his fantasy managers […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 8

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]
