Saints Cut Larry Warford

The New Orleans Saints cut offensive guard Larry Warford on Friday, making him immediately one of the top free agents available, according to a source.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon (knee) has been steadily increasing his workload on his twice surgically repaired right knee, and he is planning on working out with Redskins veteran running back Adrian Peterson at his gym in Texas. Peterson took McKinnon under his wing when the two played for the Vikings. "I feel […]

Talent Wasted: Rookies in Bad Landing Spots for Redraft

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, CeeDee Lamb, D'Andre Swift, Jerry Jeudy. We will not be talking about these players here. Those players can be contributors no matter the situation due to talent. Instead, we will focus on the rookies who landed in bad situations for fantasy football and may not be able to recover. Of course, things can […]

UDFA Running Backs To Watch In Dynasty

It seems like there's always some undrafted running back who breaks through and carves out a key role on an NFL team each year. While the 2019 Draft didn't really have a player who fits this description, 2018 had Phillip Lindsay and Gus Edwards and 2017 had Austin Ekeler and Matt Breida. Going further back, […]

Ravens Sign J.K. Dobbins

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins agreed to a four-year deal with the team on Thursday. The rookie was considered a steal by many, having been selected 55th overall in the NFL Draft, and is expected to share reps with the trio of Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill this upcoming season. While […]

Pass-Interference Replay Gets The Axe

Replay review of pass interference will not return to the NFL in 2020, according to competition committee chairman Rich McKay. Pass-interference replay was passed for just one year and there is so little support for passing it again this year that no one will bother bringing it to a vote again. “We’re not going to […]

Kerryon Johnson - Dynasty Price Check

During this past offseason, one player that I had been looking to actively buy in dynasty leagues is Kerryon Johnson in Detroit. Heading into his second season in the NFL, Johnson was someone that I was very high on and was looking at as a potential breakout candidate. Unfortunately, that was not the case, as […]

ADP Arbitrage - Running Back Draft Bargains

Did your parents ever ask you, "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, does that mean you would too?" Well, that is how fantasy football mostly works when it comes to drafting your team yearly. There is something called ADP (Average Draft Position) that is nothing more than just an aggregated mark that lets […]

Rookie Running Backs Destined for Committees

Let's talk about everyone's favorite term when it comes to fantasy football: running back committees. I know committees get a bad rep, but the future of the NFL is running back committees. More and more teams have realized the path to NFL success is to use a one-two punch at running back instead of handing […]

Devontae Booker Agrees With Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to an undisclosed deal with running back Devontae Booker on Wednesday night, according to a source. Booker hasn't started a game since his rookie season in Denver in 2016, and he took a back seat to both Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman the last two seasons. The former fourth-round pick […]

Chargers Offense To Feature More Than Two Running Backs

Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Shane Steichen said that the offense will feature more than just two running backs in 2020, unlike in past seasons. That means that it'll be Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson and rookie Joshua Kelley splitting up the workload with Melvin Gordon III now playing in Denver. With quarterback Philip Rivers gone, […]

Ravens View J.K. Dobbins As A Three-Down Back

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta told reporters that the team views second-round running back J.K. Dobbins as a three-down back. DeCosta stated, "We think he's a three-down back. He's been extremely durable. He's an outstanding fit for what we like to do." Dobbins will have to split work with veteran Mark Ingram II in […]

Pittsburgh Steelers 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

The Pittsburgh Steelers saw Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell leave before the 2019 season, which meant they needed to instill a new identity in its offense. Instead, 2019 saw the offense struggle due to numerous injuries. While there is hope that many of the younger players on this roster can fill the holes Brown and […]

Leonard Fournette Is Part Of Jaguars Plans

After failing to find a trade for him before the NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell says that running back Leonard Fournette is in the team's plans for 2020. Jacksonville declined Fournette's fifth-year option, so 2020 is likely the final year for Fournette in a Jags uniform, but as of now it looks […]

Antonio Gibson Will Be Used In Multiple Roles

Washington Redskins running back Antonio Gibson is embracing the comparison to Christian McCaffrey as someone who can stand out as both a running back and receiving threat. New Redskins coach Ron Rivera coached the Panthers star for the past two seasons, so it's easy to see Gibson being used similarly. While it's unfair to expect […]

Jets Sign Veteran Running Back Frank Gore

The New York Jets have reached an agreement with veteran running back Frank Gore on a one-year deal. The 36-year-old finds a new home in New York and reunites with head coach Adam Gase.

Figuring Out the Buffalo Bills Backfield

After trading for Stefon Diggs at the start of the offseason, the Buffalo Bills had to sit out Day One of the 2020 NFL Draft, but when they got in on the fun on Friday night, they selected two highly-touted college prospects: Iowa DE A.J. Epenesa and Utah RB Zack Moss. For fantasy purposes, Moss […]

Marshawn Lynch In Talks To Return To Seattle

Free-agent running back Marshawn Lynch said that his agent, Doug Hendrickson, has been in talks with the Seattle Seahawks on a potential reunion. As usual, Lynch isn't expecting much and is said he'll be fine if a reunion doesn't happen. The bruising back turned 34 in April after unretiring for the second time before Week […]

Rams Could Have Three-Headed Monster In Backfield

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that rookie running back Cam Akers, selected with the No. 52 overall pick in the second round, "adds great value" to a rotation that already includes second-year pro Darrell Henderson Jr. and sixth-year pro Malcolm Brown. "We feel we've got three really good backs," McVay said. "What […]

NFL Won't Play International Games In 2020

There will officially be no international games for the NFL during the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic. “We believe the decision to play all our games domestically this season is the right one for our players, our clubs, and all our fans in the US, Mexico and UK.” The NFL plans to release […]

Jets Want To Lighten The Load On Le'Veon Bell

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell could see less work than he did last season. Head coach Adam Gase believes that the organization has some younger backs on the team that can create a one-two punch in 2020. "I do think we have some guys that can help maybe lessen the load on Bell […]

Veteran Running Back Winners From the NFL Draft

Some of the running back picks in the NFL Draft have damaged the fantasy outlooks of veterans such as Aaron Jones, Mark Ingram, Kerryon Johnson, and Damien Williams. But there was also positive news coming out of the draft process. Several current NFL running backs saw their values and appeal rise when their existing teams either […]

RB Committees to Avoid in 2020

Nobody likes a running back committee. Nobody besides Austin Ekeler, I guess, but that's a story for another day. We fantasy football owners want clarity in the backfield. If we have the chance to draft a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019 we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends being. […]
