Four and Out: Fantasy Outlooks for Divisional Round Losers

For the four teams that were eliminated in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, the offseason has begun. For many fantasy football owners, the days have already started counting down to next season. Owners in dynasty leagues have started to mull over their decisions.  How some guys perform in the playoffs can certainly alter […]

Jamaal Williams Held To 12 Yards In Win Over Seattle

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams registered one carry for three rushing yards and caught his lone target for nine receiving yards in a 28-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Williams' team won, but he was one of the biggest losers in this game. He was vastly out-touched by Aaron Jones again and out-carried […]

Aaron Jones Finds End Zone Twice Against Seahawks

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 21 times for 62 rushing yards along with two scores and caught one of two targets for four receiving yards in a 28-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Jones wasn't very efficient on the ground though he did what he's done best all season long- […]

How the Titans-Ravens Upset May Alter Fantasy Outlooks

Saturday’s AFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Titans and Ravens may have been much more than just the biggest upset of the NFL season. It was also an event that might have quickly changed perceptions about two prominent players in the early part of 2020 fantasy football drafts and altered some thoughts about them as […]

Travis Homer Makes Big Catches

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer didn't really get many opportunities to carry the ball on Sunday, but he made a couple huge catches. Homer only carried the ball three times even though he was able to rack up 13 yards, but he played a more critical role by snagging a couple balls out of […]

Marshawn Lynch Smashes His Way To Two Touchdowns

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch certainly gave fans a couple more moments to remember when he bashed and crashed his way into the end zone twice in Seattle's loss to Green Bay on Sunday night. The Seahawks running game wasn't very impressive by yardage, especially if Russell Wilson's scrambles were removed, but Lynch made […]

Damien Williams Hauls in Three Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams scored three touchdowns during Sunday's Divisional Round victory over the Houston Texans. He rushed 12 times for 47 yards and two touchdowns. He was also targeted six times in the passing game, but only hauled in two of those passes. Williams did score a short touchdown on one […]

Duke Johnson Quiet Against Chiefs

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson had one carry for 11 yards and added five catches for 23 yards in Sunday's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson's usage down the stretch in Houston was uneven, but he's under contract next season and could see an increase in usage if the team moves on […]

Carlos Hyde Not Huge Factor In Loss

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde had his first 1000-yard season this season, but his year ended quietly in Sunday's playoff loss to the Chiefs. Hyde had 13 carries for 44 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards as the Texans fell 51-31. Hyde isn't under contract next year, so Houston could easily move […]

Derrick Henry Leads Titans To Upset Win

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry finished with 30 carries for 195 yards during the win over the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. He also added two catches for seven yards and a touchdown toss to Corey Davis in the third quarter. Henry was firing on all cylinders in this one by amassing 6.5 yards per […]

Mark Ingram Accrues Only 22 Rushing Yards In Loss

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram ran for 22 yards on just six attempts during the loss to the Titans on Saturday. He also had a catch for nine yards. Ingram came into this one carrying a designation after injuring his calf in Week 16 of the regular season, so his lack of productivity in […]

Dalvin Cook Gets Shut Down In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had nine carries for 18 yards in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He added six catches on eight targets for eight yards. Cook was continuously stymied by unrelenting 49ers' defensive front as the Vikings' offensive line was simply overmatched. This was an absolutely miserable ending to […]

Matt Breida Mops Up Niners Victory

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida amassed 17 yards on eight carries in the Divisional Round victory against the Minnesota Vikings. Breida played sparingly but was tapped to salt the game away in the fourth quarter. He lost a fumble on a fourth down conversion that ended up being inconsequential. Breida was a clear […]

Raheem Mostert Proves His Worth

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert handled 12 carries for 58 yards in the Divisional Round victory against the Minnesota Vikings. Mostert assumed his usual top dog role to start the game but eventually yielded touches to Tevin Coleman, who went off for 105 yards and two scores. Mostert also recovered a critical fumble […]

Tevin Coleman Puts His Game Face On

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman collected 105 yards and two spikes on 22 carries in the Divisional Round against the Minnesota Vikings. Rendered to second-string duties for the latter half of the season, Coleman was the best runner on Saturday and the Niners rode his hot hand to the easy 27-10 victory. His […]

Kyle Juszczyk Could Make A Splash

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has some deep sleeper appeal against the Minnesota Vikings in a thin DFS slate. Juszczyk’s first and second priorities are to pave the road for the Niners dominant running game, but he’s occasionally factored into the passing attack. While his floor is an absolute zero, Juszczyk has three games […]

Marshawn Lynch Is A Strong TD Threat

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has given the people what they want so far, racking up touchdowns in both games since he returned to the team. Fantasy owners should consider him to be credible threat to continue the streak on Sunday as he faces a Green Bay franchise that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy […]

Travis Homer Will Need To Have A Big Game

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer struggled in last week's game against the Eagles, but he's probably going to be a critical weapon in Seattle's game against Green Bay this Sunday. While Homer only gained 12 yards on 11 carries against Philly, the Packers have been one of the most susceptible teams in the league […]

Justice Hill Hard To Trust Against Tennessee

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill finished the regular season with 58 carries for 225 yards and two touchdowns. Both of Hills touchdowns came during the last two games of the regular season. In Week 17, Hill was awarded 10 carries, a season-high, and was targeted twice in the passing game. The rookie running back […]

[…]

Darwin Thompson Could See Fewer Touches on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson wasn't involved much in the first half of the season, but saw most of his carries in the month of December. The Chiefs have been banged up in the backfield, which has led to more opportunities for Thompson. However, Damien Williams and LeSean McCoy are both healthy heading […]

Dalvin Cook Rolls On As A Top Option

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was fed 31 touches and turned them into 130 yards and two touchdowns in a wild-card win. He travels cross country on five days rest to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round -- a team that ranks 11th in rush DVOA but has given up at […]

LeSean McCoy Could Get Involved Versus Houston

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy wasn't used in the final two weeks of the regular season. Head coach Andy Reid wanted to make sure that the veteran back was well rested for the playoffs. It sounds like the Chiefs are going to use a committee approach for Sunday's game versus the Houston Texans. […]

Damien Williams Has Big Expectations

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has put himself back into the fantasy conversation with his play over the last few weeks. He finished the regular season with a 124 yard rushing performance that also led to two touchdowns. Williams has been involved in both the run and passing game. DFS players should take […]
