Ryquell Armstead (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~220 ANALYSIS: On the morning of  August 31st, news was released that running back Leonard Fournette was officially released by the Jacksonville Jaguars. There were attempts to trade Fournette, and he was entering the last year of his contract, but with no takers the Jaguars instead took this […]

Who Will Lead the Jaguars Backfield in 2020?

Well, that was unexpected. There was a point earlier this offseason where we all collectively thought "the Jaguars could definitely move on from Leonard Fournette," but as training camp arrived and the start of the regular season approached, we let our guard down. We drafted Fournette like he was still the main back in Jacksonville […]

Alvin Kamara's Absences From Camp Are Contract-Related

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been a no-show at training camp the past three days and the unexcused absences are believed to be contract-related, according to Adam Schefter. Kamara was asked about his contract on August 10 and said he wasn't concerned with it at all, though clearly something has changed. The […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers' running back Jamaal Williams is entering his fourth year as a pro, all of them playing for the Pack. While his rushing attempts have dropped every year he has been in the NFL, his production has increased and he has become more efficient […]

Coaching Matters: NFC North Play-Calling Impact on RB

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before making a conclusion on players. That means looking at things like game tape, the team's offensive line, or their primary playcaller's historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge […]

Why Zero RB Won't Work In 2020 (and Beyond!)

In the 1970s, you didn't have to go far to find a funky cool cat cutting up the dance floor in a polyester leisure suit while his pet rock named Morton rested comfortably in his pocket. By the 1980s, people had realized things like the pet rock, and leisure suits were lame. Instead, it was […]

Ryquell Armstead Should Be Lead Back In Jacksonville

After the Jacksonville Jaguars released running back Leonard Fournette on Monday morning, the backfield for the Jags looks a lot more difficult to project. Gone is the workhorse lead back in Fournette, but that loss should lead to an expanded role for Ryquell Armstead, a second-year back out of Temple who should now be the […]

Chris Thompson Could See Larger Role After Fournette Release

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson could be in line for an expanded role after the team surprisingly released starting running back Leonard Fournette on Monday morning. Thompson was reportedly already seeing plenty of work in the team's offense during training camp, including in the red zone. He probably won't see many more carries as […]

Jaguars Release Leonard Fournette

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released running back Leonard Fournette, who was entering his final year under contract with the team. His high workload as a Jag made him a safe fantasy RB2 with upside as long as he was playing in Jacksonville, but now everything's up in the air. Will Fournette find a new home […]

Why Zero RB Will Work In 2020

In a world where Christian McCaffrey is coming off a historic year comprised of 287 carries, 142 targets, 19 touchdowns and over 2,300 yards from scrimmage, the Zero RB strategy might seem like a losing recipe. How can you justify shooting for any non-running back at the top of drafts when we’ve seen just how […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Improving In Pass Protection Skills

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has developed a strong understanding of how to protect the quarterback as well as the importance of it, according to Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy in a report from Chiefs Wire. The 21-year-old is expected to take on a workhorse role as just a rookie because the other […]

Derrick Henry Working On Pass-Catching Abilities

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry focused very heavily on improving his pass-catching skills during Sunday's practice, according to a report from NFL.com. The large back has rushed for over 1,000 yards the past two seasons, including notching 1,540 rush yards last season. Nevertheless, he doesn't have any more than 206 receiving yards in any […]

Kalen Ballage Fails Physical, Trade To Jets Voided

Running back Kalen Ballage will not be joining the New York Jets after all, at least not right away. After having been dealt by Miami, Ballage failed his physical due to a hamstring injury, which allows him to return to the Dolphins, who are not likely to hold onto him. Ultimately, Ballage could wind up […]

Le'Veon Bell Ramps Up Workload Sunday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell may be battling stout competition inside of his locker room, but he received the vast majority of reps during Sunday’s practice. Bell will have to jockey for carries alongside a stacked backfield, but he got six touches Sunday, including pulling down a receiving touchdown when lined up at […]

Ke'Shawn Vaughn (RB, TB) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~100 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: The Tampa rookie tested positive for COVID-19 back in late July and that clearly impacted his ADP during the past few days. The bump down reached its peak (valley?) the day he was placed on the Reserve List. That shouldn't be an issue for him once […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~133 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~162 ANALYSIS: Justin Jackson is a strong candidate to share touches with Austin Ekeler during the season. However, the Chargers will be distributing rushing attempts between multiple backs, and rookie Joshua Kelly should also garner carries that are not designated for Ekeler. Ekeler finished at RB4 in PPR […]

Adrian Peterson Looking To Prove Doubters Wrong

Washington running back Adrian Peterson still believes he has a lot to prove heading into his age-35 season. The future Hall-of-Famer is trying to chase down Emmitt Smith for the all-time rushing record, but is also focusing on setting an example for the young backs in the Washington RB room. Washington has a talented backfield […]

On December 2nd 2018, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley II torched the Detroit Lions for 132 yards and two touchdowns in a Rams victory. Gurley was capping off one of the best two-year stretches by a running back in recent memory and was the face of one of the NFL's best offenses. He […]

Jason Katz's Bold Predictions - 2020 Fantasy Football

In my group of friends, I am known for making outlandish claims that, most of the time, even I don't believe. It antagonizes them because they know I'm just complaining about how Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill is going to finish with zero receptions because it's 10 minutes into the first quarter and he hasn't caught a […]

Todd Gurley II Expected To See 15-25 Touches Per Game

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter sees 15 to 25 touches per game for new running back Todd Gurley II this year, provided his left knee remains healthy. Gurley is currently on a load-management plan in training camp and didn't have a heavy workload in the team's scrimmage on Monday. Gurley's fantasy stock has fallen […]

Cesar Ruiz Will Be Back Soon

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that rookie offensive guard Cesar Ruiz will be back soon after getting shaken up in practice on Thursday with an undisclosed injury.
