Qadree Ollison Too Risky To Consider In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison is currently third on the team's depth chart behind Devonta Freeman (ankle) and Brian Hill. Freeman has been dealing with an ankle injury this week and is currently questionable for Week 15, but even if he sits, it would be Hill who stands to benefit more than Ollison. In […]

Brian Hill Is Only Start-Worthy If Freeman Sits

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had a strong showing in Week 14 against the Panthers. He rushed the ball nine times for 62 yards and a touchdown playing as a backup to Devonta Freeman (ankle). There's a chance Freeman is out this week as he's dealing with an ankle injury and is currently questionable. […]

Devonta Freeman Worth Starting As RB2 If He's Active In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is currently questionable for Week 15 against the 49ers. Freeman had 21 touches in Week 14 against the Panthers and gained 94 yards and scored a touchdown in the game. As long as he suits up, he should be set for […]

T.J. Yeldon Likely To Remain Inactive In Week 15

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for seven straight weeks. The team has been rolling with the combination of Devin Singletary and Frank Gore at running back and it has worked well for them as Singletary has flourished. Yeldon will likely be inactive for the eighth straight week as the team faces […]

Frank Gore Is Not A Viable Starting Option Versus Steelers

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore is coming off of his worst game of the year. He managed to gain just six yards on four attempts against the Ravens in Week 14, while the team's No. 1 running back Devin Singletary rushed for 89 yards on 17 attempts and was active in the passing game […]

Keep Rolling With Devin Singletary In Week 15

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary received a heavy workload in Week 14 against the Ravens. He earned 17 carries in the game and also had six receptions. He was able to gain over 100 yards on the day, despite facing a tough Ravens Defense. This week, Singletary and the Bills face another tough defense, […]

Bo Scarbrough A Risky Start Against Bucs

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough has a tough Week 15 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming to town. While the Bucs pass defense sits last in the league, their run defense sits near the top, and with rookie quarterback David Blough unable to consistently get scoring opportunities, Scarbrough's value gets seriously capped. Scarbrough […]

Gus Edwards Remains A High-Quality Handcuff

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 20 yards on four attempts in Week 14's win over the Buffalo Bills. Baltimore matches up against a Jets Defense on Thursday Night that's been stiff against opposing running backs in 2019. Edwards remains as nothing more than a quality handcuff to Mark Ingram in Week 15.

Mark Ingram Has Tough Matchup Against Jets

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram rushed to 50 yards on 15 attempts and caught all three of his targets in Week 14's win over the Buffalo Bills. Baltimore matches up against a Jets Defense in Week 15 that has only allowed multiple touchdowns to opposing running backs twice this season. The Jets Defense has also […]

Josh Jacobs Not A Lock To Play In Week 15

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) isn't a lock to return in Week 15 against the Jaguars despite positive results from his MRI exam. Jacobs's status is unclear for this Sunday, although he was a limited participant in the walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Jacobs must prove to Gruden […]

Alexander Mattison Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. There's still a chance that Mattison can play in Week 15 against the Chargers, but nothing is guaranteed. With Dalvin Cook (chest) seeing a full workload against the Lions last Sunday, Mattison would be nothing more than a little-used backup against the […]

Vance McDonald, Jaylen Samuels Miss Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) and running back Jaylen Samuels (groin) both were missing from practice on Wednesday. Not only is McDonald questionable for Week 15 against the Bills on Sunday night, but he hasn't cleared 50 yards the entire season and has only three touchdowns. He has just five catches for 25 […]

Jordan Howard Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Howard has been close to playing for weeks it seems, but he has yet to be cleared and hasn't seen the field since Nov. 3 against the Bears. If he does return in Week 15 against the Redskins, he could […]

James White Should Be Lead Back In Week 15

New England Patriots running back James White will take on a Bengals Defense in Week 15 that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. The Patriots offense is in quite a slump right now but White has emerged as the lead back over the past few games. Teammate Sony Michel […]

Hard To Trust Sony Michel Despite Positive Matchup

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will take on a Bengals Defense in Week 15 that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. But Michel has completely fallen off the fantasy map as of late, totaling only 15 carries for 53 yards over his last two games. Matters got […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Practicing In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and running back James Conner (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. The Steelers are expecting to get both players back for Week 15 against the Bills on Sunday night. Smith-Schuster and Conner have both been out since Nov. 14 and will return to a difficult […]

Devonta Freeman Held Out Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) was held out of practice on Wednesday. The Falcons are likely just giving Freeman some rest early in the week after he went for 84 yards and his first rushing touchdown of the season on 17 carries in Week 14 against the Panthers. It was a breath of […]

Tarik Cohen's Floor Hampers Week 15 Fantasy Value

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will take on a Packers Defense in Week 15 that is allowing the fifth most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Green Bay has allowed 13 different running backs to post 11 or more fantasy points against them and 13 rushing touchdowns. The matchup is appealing but Cohen […]

David Montgomery Has Juicy Matchup

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will be a focal point of the Bears offense against the Packers in Week 15. The numbers may not show it but Montgomery is really beginning to bloom in the Bears offense over the past few games. The rookie's vision between the tackles is improving and has been a […]

Derrick Henry, Adam Humphries Sidelined

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Henry has been by far the best running back in football in the second half of the season. He's gone over 100 yards rushing in four straight games against the Chiefs, Jaguars, Colts and Raiders […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Zach Ertz, Emmanuel Sanders, Robert Woods

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 15

The first week of the fantasy playoffs is in the books, and hopefully you're still writing another chapter in it. Week 14 was absolutely brutal from an injury perspective, with several big name players getting carted off the field and burying multitudes of fantasy teams in the process. Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley, Devante Parker, Alshon […]

Le'Veon Bell A Volume-Based RB2

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell is recovered from his illness and will suit up for the Jets Thursday in Baltimore. Bell missed the Jets Week 14 win with the flu, but has been a full participant in practice and should be good to go Thursday. Running lanes will be hard to come by […]

Damien Williams Back On Practice Field

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) is back on the practice field on Wednesday. Williams has been out since Week 11. In Week 14 against the Patriots, all three of LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson and Spencer Ware were involved in Kansas City's backfield. A Williams return in Week 15 against the Broncos would […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

You have to love fantasy football. You have to, otherwise you would have given up by now. In a week that most likely represented the first matchup of the fantasy playoffs or a must-win in some form for the vast majority of players, we were treated to the following: Alvin Kamara netting three fantasy points, […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 15 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Ty Montgomery Questionable For Thursday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery (foot, hip) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 15 against the Ravens on Thursday night. With Le'Veon Bell out last week with an illness, Montgomery had just nine carries for 31 yards and caught three passes for 30 yards. Bell is expected back […]

Ryan Griffin, Bilal Powell, Demaryius Thomas Out

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin (ankle), running back Bilal Powell (ankle, illness) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) will not play Thursday night against the Ravens. Griffin and Powell are both officially out, while Thomas is doubtful to play. Daniel Brown and rookie Trevon Wesco will help fill in with Griffin out, […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Return In Week 15

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder), who sat out in Week 14 against the Titans, had positive results from his MRI exam and is expected to return to action in Week 15 against the Jaguars, according to sources. Barring a setback this week, Jacobs should only have a one-week absence. Jacobs has been […]
