Ronald Jones II Poised For Strong Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets an ideal Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Jones II played 33 snaps to Leonard Fournette's nine in Week 1, picking up 82 scrimmage yards against a Saints Defense that's tough on opposing halfbacks. Operating as the lead runner while Fournette continues to learn the […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Seeks To Improve In Short Yardage

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will look to build off a dominant debut in Week 1. Edwards-Helaire received 66.7% of the snaps given to the run game in Week 1. Darrel Williams is likely to operate as the third down back for now, but it appears to be the rookie’s job to lose. […]

Nyheim Hines Looks To Build On Strong Week 1 Performance

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a good start to his 2020 season, finding the end zone twice and gaining 73 total yards. Head Coach Frank Reich stated that rookie Jonathan Taylor will be the starting running back after Marlon Mack's (Achilles) injury, but also stated that Hines will see time on all downs. Hines […]

[…]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell: Week 2

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 […]

The Cut List (Week 2) - Time to Let Go?

By this time, you’ve made your waiver wire claims for week 2. Hopefully, you got your guy. But, if you’re still deciding on players to keep and get rid of for next week and moving forward, then you’ve come to the right place. The obvious cuts are players that are lost for the year due […]

Tevin Coleman Not A Viable Week 2 Starter

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman saw only six offensive snaps in Week 1. On the bright side, he was utilized by the offense in each of those six snaps, earning four carries and two targets. He compiled 24 total yards in the game. At this point, Coleman is nothing more than a handcuff […]

Josh Jacobs Looks For Another Strong Performance

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a strong start to the 2020 season, scoring three times against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He will face a stout run defense against the Saints in Week 2. The Saints rank sixth against the run, so yards will not come easy for Jacobs. An encouraging […]

Jerick McKinnon A Solid Flex Option In PPR For Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon should be heavily involved in the team's offensive gameplan in Week 2 against the New York Jets. McKinnon carried the ball three times for 24 yards and caught three of his five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Last week's game was his first […]

Raheem Mostert Could Explode In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert was the team's top offensive weapon in Week 1. He rushed the ball 15 times for 56 yards and caught four of his five targets for 95 yards and a touchdown. This week, the 49ers face a New York Jets team that allowed over 400 yards of offense […]

Kareem Hunt A Low-End RB2 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt outproduced starter Nick Chubb in Week 1's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Hunt out-touched Chubb 17 to 11 and outgained him in total yards, 81 to 66. Week 1's game script favored Hunt as the Browns fell behind early and shifted into catch-up mode. Cleveland is installed as […]

Nick Chubb A Solid Play In Week 2

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb had a slow afternoon in his team's Week 1 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Chubb finished with just 11 total touches for 66 yards, six fewer touches than backup Kareem Hunt. Of course, the Browns fell behind early in that contest and shifted into catch-up mode, a game […]

Chase Edmonds Should Be Heavily Involved In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds was targeted five times in the passing game in Week 1, which was tied for second on the team with Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk. He caught three of those five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown while also rushing the ball six times for 26 yards in the […]

Kenyan Drake Has RB1 Upside In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake was the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, carrying the ball 16 times for 60 yards and a touchdown.

Warning Signals From Week 1

The NFL season is finally underway and even with just a one-week sample size, there are still some indicators dictating that some of these players could experience a down year in production.

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: First carry from a Colts' rusher this season: Marlon Mack. First touchdown from a Colts' rusher: Nyheim Hines. No Jonathan Taylor at sight to start Week 1's game with the proven Mack taking on the rushing duties and Hines doing so on the […]

Chris Carson Should Be Started In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson was the RB7 in Week 1 thanks to a pair of receiving touchdowns. In Week 2, it's unlikely that he'll be able to perform to that level again, but you almost have to have him in your lineups. The Seahawks have quickly developed one of the best offenses in […]

Keep Joe Mixon Starting Against Cleveland

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was undoubtedly one of the biggest flops in Week 1 against the Chargers, as he finished with just 69 yards off 19 carries for a miserable 2.0 yard-per-carry mark. He also underwhelmed catching passes out of the backfield by hauling in just one catch for two yards. Thanks in […]

Cam Akers A Borderline Fantasy Starter This Week

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers saw a good amount of work in Week 1, but he was extremely inefficient. In Week 2, you can expect much of the same. The Rams offensive line could be outmatched against this Philadelphia Eagles defensive line. Akers averaged less than three yards per carry on 14 totes […]

James White Has Good Potential For Week 2

New England Patriots running back James White is likely going to be an important part of the offense this season. The team likes to use him in both the running and passing game quite often. White rushed five times for 22 yards and hauled in all three of his targets for 30 yards through the […]

Malcolm Brown Has Tough Matchup For Week 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown finished as the No. 5 running back in Week 1, but it's unlikely he'll be able to replicate that in Week 2. The Philadelphia Eagles were ranked fifth against the running back position last season because they penetrate the backfield often. Combine that with their spotty secondary, and […]

Sony Michel Considered An RB3 Against Seattle

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel was the starter for their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. He rushed 10 times for 37 yards and one touchdown. His lone touchdown was at the goal line, but quarterback Cam Newton figures to get plenty of chances there as well. The Patriots are going to […]

Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed Ben Roethlisberger back until a virtual year off the field... but at the same time they had to say goodbye to RB James Conner just two quarters into the season. Bad for the rushing game, right? Wrong. Enter Benny Snell […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Week 1 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five. Through Sunday's games, Gardner Minshew II finished as QB12 which surprised most, while Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes underwhelmed just a little, finishing as QB2's. Tight end was a little […]

How NOT to Overreact to NFL Week 1

First thing’s first: take a deep breath. If you had a great Week 1, congratulations. If your team underpeformed, you’re not alone. Now is not the time to panic, and you have to be patient because your studs are studs for a reason. This is a one-game sample, so you need to maintain your patience […]

Matt Breida Rapidly Losing Value

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida has quickly lost the trust of plenty of fantasy owners after his Week 1 performance versus the New England Patriots. Breida rushed five times for 22 yards in the loss. Jordan Howard received the start and the goal line carries. Myles Gaskin saw nine touches and saw a few […]
