Alvin Kamara Should Be Started Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets a tough matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. It's been a disappointing season for Kamara owners though it hasn't been due to his lack of opportunity. The 24-year-old has averaged 17.4 touches per game since returning from injury, which is pretty much a workhorse role. […]

Dion Lewis Should Be Rostered Heading Into Week 15

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has been a fantasy afterthought up to this point in the 2019 season. Despite this, Lewis is one of the higher upside stash options heading into Week 15 of the fantasy season. With star running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) unable to practice all week, Lewis could be in for […]

Benny Snell Jr. Tough To Trust Against Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. will likely return to his role of spelling James Conner (shoulder) does in fact return for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. While Conner is listed as questionable, Snell has done well in place of the injured back who missed three games. However, the rookie will likely take […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable To Return To Action For Sunday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has reportedly been progressing during practice as he attempts to make his way back onto the field for Sunday’s game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he has officially been listed as questionable for the contest due to a fractured shoulder. Without him in the mix last week, the duo […]

James Conner Officially Gets Questionable Tag For Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner was able to practice in full Friday, but has been listed as questionable to suit up for Sunday’s game versus the Buffalo Bills, in what will likely mirror a game-time decision. Conner has been dealing with a AC joint sprain in his shoulder that has cost him each of […]

Derrick Henry Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has been listed as questionable to suit up for Sunday’s game versus the Houston Texans due to a hamstring injury. Henry missed practice again Friday, putting his status up in the air for a crucial divisional matchup that the Titans will likely need if they hope to claim the […]

Alexander Mattison Officially Out For Week 15

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) will not be suiting up for Week 15 against the Chargers. He's been unable to practice this week and will miss his first game of the season. Mattison had 14 carries in the team's last game against the Lions while Dalvin Cook led the way with 18 carries. […]

Saquon Barkley Finally Set To Explode

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is in a prime spot to explode for fantasy owners on Sunday versus the Dolphins. With Eli Manning under center, Saquon Barkley saw 20 touches on 49 total snaps. The Eagles Defense kept him in check, but if Barkley is going to see touches on over 40% of […]

Duke Johnson Has PPR Flex Appeal

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson wasn't a huge factor in the run game last week, but he could see increased usage in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans allow the sixth-most receiving yards to opposing running backs, so there's a chance that we see him on the field at a rate closer […]

Carlos Hyde Could Take Back Seat

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde has had double-digit carries in all but one game this year and is coming off a 73-yard effort against the Broncos, but Sunday's meeting with the Titans could look a little different. The Titans have been among the league's worst teams at preventing receiving yards to opposing backs, a […]

David Johnson's Future In Arizona Is Cloudy

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim was non-committal on running back David Johnson's long-term standing with the team. "We'll take a deep dive into this roster and take a look at every guy. Not only their contract situation but as I said earlier, identifying the core of players moving forward and making sure we can […]

Jordan Howard Unlikely To Play In Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) is unlikely to play in Week 15 against the Redskins, as there's been no change in his status. Howard has been out since Nov. 3 against the Bears and just hasn't made any progress. He's unlikely to be shut down outright with the Eagles still fighting for a […]

Kareem Hunt an RB2 in Week 15

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt draws a plus road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. The Cardinals are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the running back position this season. That being said, Arizona's defense is much worse against the pass, which plays right into Hunt's hands as he has […]

Nick Chubb a Low-End RB1 Against Cardinals

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Week 15. Chubb is coming off his sixth 100-yard rushing game of the season and will take aim at an Arizona defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the running back position. The only concern […]

All-Day For the Win: Why Adrian Peterson Matters Again

I don't think anyone could ever be happy at any sports player getting injured. It just makes no sense, so please leave the hatred out now and forever when it comes to that. That being said, though, we're talking about just a branch of sports here with fantasy football, and we all know what is […]

Ty Montgomery A Non-Factor Against Ravens

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery had two rushes for five yards while catching his only target for an additional five yards. Montgomery's biggest impact in the game came returning kicks as he took a backseat to Le'Veon Bell in the backfield. With Bell healthy and Bilal Powell (ankle) working his way back there's […]

Gus Edwards Quiet Against Jets

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 35 yards on five carries in Thursday night's Week 15 win over the Jets. Edwards was able to break free for a 28-yard gain during garbage time, but he doesn't get enough touches to push him over the hill of being Ingram's handcuff. Leave him on your […]

Mark Ingram Scores Twice On Thursday Night

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram put up his fifth multiple-touchdown performance of the season in Thursday night's Week 15 win over the Jets. Ingram rushed for 76 yards on 13 carries and a rushing touchdown on the first drive of the game. He added a reception for a 10-yard stretch touchdown early in the […]

Le'Veon Bell Has Best Rushing Day As A Jet

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell rushed 21 times for 87 yards while catching both of his targets for one yard in the passing game. Bell missed the Week 14 game vs Miami and his fresh legs were leaned on heavily in this one as no other Jet had more than two rushing attempts. […]

Josh Jacobs Trending In Right Direction

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) was limited for a second straight day in practice on Thursday, but offensive coordinator Greg Olson said that Jacobs "looked great." Jacobs missed several practices last week and was inactive in Week 14, but he's trending in the right direction and should be available for the final […]

Tevin Coleman Finds Himself In Back Row

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman appears to be the odd man out in the Niners backfield. With Raheem Mostert assuming control and Matt Breida running well in relief, Coleman is a tough sell as a flex play in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons. Since his four-touchdown explosion in Week 8, Coleman has […]

Matt Breida Will Have To Settle For Scraps

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida ran well in his return from injury in Week 14 (9.0 YPC) but played just 12 snaps. With Raheem Mostert taking charge of the backfield, Breida and Tevin Coleman will battle for touches, rendering both risky flex options. Averaging a healthy 5.2 yards per tote this year, Breida […]

Bo Scarbrough Downgraded To Out Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was downgraded to out of practice on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. It puts Scarbrough in danger of missing Week 15 against the Buccaneers, especially if he misses another practice on Friday. Even if Scarbrough plays, he'll be more of a low-upside RB3/flex in […]

Devonta Freeman Back At Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. The Falcons were likely just managing his repetitions on Wednesday. Expect Freeman to be taken off the injury report on Friday and to play in Week 15 against the 49ers. He had one of his […]

No Timetable For Rashaad Penny

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee) doesn't have a timetable for a return next year after suffering a torn ACL last Sunday night against the Rams. Head coach Pete Carroll said that doctors will wait for inflammation to subside before undergoing surgery on Penny's knee. While he wouldn't say for sure that Penny won't […]

Jordan Howard Returns To Practice On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) returned to practice with the team on Thursday. He is currently questionable for Week 15 against the Redskins. If he's able to go this week, he could be a sneaky good start against a Redskins Defense allowing almost 135 rushing yards per game. Miles Sanders and Boston Scott […]

Show Me The Money! Stashes That Could Win Your League

Success in the fantasy playoffs is all about planning ahead. Your bench is no longer a safe space for high floor players without much of a ceiling; they won't win you the big game. You need to look ahead and stash players with exploitable matchups in the weeks to come so that you don't get […]

Raheem Mostert Has Earned Leading Role

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Raheem Mostert has earned his role as the lead ball carrier of late and that "he's given us no choice." Mostert has had double-digit carries each of the last two weeks against the Ravens and Saints and has also caught four passes, including one […]

Derrick Henry Says He'll Be Ready

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) said "I'll be ready to go" for Week 15 against the Raiders. Henry has been rested early in the week recently as he navigates a nagging hamstring injury, but he should be fine for this Sunday and is a must-start in all fantasy lineups. The bruising 25-year-old back […]
