Joshua Kelley Continues To Get Carries

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley continues to get work as the No. 2 running back.

Austin Ekeler Looks To Continue Strong Start To Season

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will look to continue his strong season with a matchup against the Panthers in Week 3. Ekeler has been sharing work with rookie Joshua Kelley and received 56% of the snaps in Week 2. Kelley also got a big chunk at 52% last Sunday. The backfield has worked […]

Joe Mixon Will Attempt To Get On Track Against Philly

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will look to get things going against Philadelphia on Sunday. The 24-year-old has been a colossal disappointment through the first two games of the year, racking up an underwhelming 115 yards off of 35 attempts for a miserable 3.3 YPC. He has also hauled in just five catches for […]

Making Lemonade: Players Who Will Benefit from Injuries

The NFL has taken many precautions to protect its players and coaches from COVID-19. The league has now gone two consecutive weeks without seeing a single positive test, suggesting that these measures have been successful. Sadly, the NFL has not been able to shield its athletes from the injury bug. This past slate of games […]

Is the Buffalo Bills' Offense For Real?

Move out of the way for the NFL's new most explosive offense: the... Buffalo Bills? Through the first two weeks of the NFL season, the Buffalo Bills rank 3rd in the NFL in total yards (928), 3rd in yards per play (6.6), 1st in passing yards (719), 2nd in passing TDs (6), and 5th in […]

Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB2 In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II gets a seemingly tough matchup against the Bears. Chicago has allowed the 11th-fewest rushing yards to opposing backs, though they did it against an uninspiring Lions backfield and a Giants offense that lost running back Saquon Barkley (knee) early in the game. Gurley quietly ranks eighth in rushing attempts […]

Jimmy Garoppolo, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and running backs Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Also, defenders Dee Ford (back) and Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) missed another practice. The 49ers are one of the most beat up teams through two weeks, as they also […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 3

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

Kareem Hunt In The RB2 Mix In Week 3

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has been effective through his first two games of the 2020 season. Hunt has racked up 158 rushing yards, 24 receiving yards, and two total touchdowns so far this season. Adding to his value is the fact that he and Nick Chubb are splitting the backfield work much more […]

Nick Chubb Draws Favorable Week 3 Matchup

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has a favorable Week 3 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Washington's defense has been stout against the pass through two games but has struggled to contain opposing running backs, ranking just 21st in run defense DVOA. Kareem Hunt's increased role in the offense through two games makes Chubb's […]

Royce Freeman Can't Be Trusted In Fantasy

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman is likely to operate as the backup to Melvin Gordon in Week 3 against the Buccaneers with Phillip Lindsay (toe) on the shelf with turf toe. However, Freeman saw just three carries for 20 yards in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers and just isn't seeing enough touches, […]

Phillip Lindsay Not On Track To Return In Week 3

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) missed practice on Wednesday and doesn't appear likely to return to action in Week 3 against the Buccaneers after sitting out in Week 2 with turf toe. Lindsay initially suffered the injury in the season-opener, and his timetable was set for two to four weeks. His injury makes […]

Melvin Gordon III Will Be Usage-Based RB2

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon should continue to see a heavy workload with Phillip Lindsay (toe) on the shelf. Gordon ran the ball 19 times for 70 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers. The Buccaneers Defense has allowed 26.4 fantasy points […]

Benny Snell Jr. Not A Fantasy Option In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. struggled in a Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. Many expected Snell to split carries with James Conner after the latter injured his ankle in Week 1, but instead Conner out-touched Snell 18 to four last week. If Snell is going to remain in a strict backup […]

James Conner An RB2 In Week 3 Versus Houston

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner showed that his ankle was healthy in Week 2 when he handled 18 touches in a win over the Denver Broncos. Conner saw the majority of the running back touches, showing that Pittsburgh intends to reinstall him as the bell-cow as long as he's healthy. Conner will face off […]

JaMycal Hasty Not A Viable Fantasy Starter In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back JaMycal Hasty is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 3 against the New York Giants. He's likely to serve as the team's No. 3 running back in the game behind Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson Jr. with Raheem Mostert (knee) doubtful and Tevin Coleman (knee) out for […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. A Potential Deep League Play In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. had just two carries for three yards in Week 2. However, in Week 3, he should see his role increased heavily with Raheem Mostert (knee) doubtful and Tevin Coleman (knee) out for the game. Jerick McKinnon will be the team's starting running back in the game, but […]

Start Jerick McKinnon As A Low-End RB2 In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon is the last man standing in the team's backfield with Raheem Mostert (knee) doubtful and Tevin Coleman (knee) out for Week 3 against the New York Giants. McKinnon will be the team's lead running back in the game with Jeff Wilson Jr. and JaMycal Hasty as backups. McKinnon […]

Chase Edmonds Is A Desperation Play In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has been the team's only running back to see the field this year apart from starter Kenyan Drake. He's played in 35% of the team's offensive snaps, while Drake has played in 68%. Edmonds has been targeted nine times in the passing game, while Drake has been targeted four […]

Kenyan Drake Primed For Big Outing In Week 3

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake should have a big game in store for Week 3 as the team takes on the Detroit Lions. Last week, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones rushed for 168 yards on 18 carries (9.3 yards per carry) while adding 68 receiving yards against the Lions. He scored a […]

Chris Carson Should Be Started In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has forced his way into your lineups after two strong performances to start the season. He's currently the RB8 in PPR formats, and you likely drafted him as an RB2 or RB3. Carson has a stranglehold on the backfield work right now, and he's being utilized in the receiving […]

James Robinson A Solid Play In Week 3

Fresh off his first 100-yard game, Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is set for another solid performance in Week 3, as the Jaguars take on the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. Robinson's lack of passing game usage limits his overall ceiling, though he did see a larger role as a receiver in Week 2. […]

Malcolm Brown Should Be Benched In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (pinkie) had a great Week 1, but that feels like a lifetime ago after the performance teammate Darrell Henderson put up last week. While Brown relied on touchdowns, Henderson was putting up big plays. In addition to being outplayed by Henderson in Week 2, Brown is also dealing with […]

Cam Akers Could Miss Week 3

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (rib) left Week 2 early with a rib injury, and he missed practice on Wednesday as a result. If he misses the game because of the injury, obviously you're not playing him. However, if he's active, Akers will be nothing more than an extremely risky RB3/flex in this […]

Tarik Cohen Will Be Boom-Or-Bust In Week 3

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen is still looking for a huge play heading into the team's matchup with the Falcons in Week 3. Cohen has only 12 carries on the season and 27 receiving yards through two games, but will have a favorable tilt against the Falcons. Atlanta is allowing 39 points a game […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Could Be Lead Back In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson lit it up in Week 2, but it's unclear what his role will be heading into Week 3. He contributed nothing in Week 1 and he looked as though he would be the backup in Week 2 prior to the injury to teammate Cam Akers. If Henderson is […]

David Montgomery A Solid RB2 Choice Against Falcons

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will look to build off a strong Week 2 performance this Sunday against the Falcons in Atlanta. Montgomery delivered 127 all-purpose yards and one touchdown in the Bears win against the Giants and now will face a Falcons Defense that allowing an average of 39 points a game. The […]
