T.J. Yeldon Likely To Be Inactive For Thanksgiving Game

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon figures to be inactive for his sixth straight game this week as the Bills face the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The Bills' top two rushers, Devin Singletary and Frank Gore, combined for 36 carries for 171 yards in Week 12. There's no sign of the team wanting to get away […]

Frank Gore Is Too Risky To Start In Week 13

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore received 15 carries in Week 12 against the Broncos and gained 65 yards on the ground. Both the carries and rushing yards were the most Gore has accumulated in a game since Week 4. Rookie running back Devin Singletary was the star of Week 12 with 106 yards on […]

Devin Singletary Should Have A Solid Game In Week 13

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is coming off of his first career 100-yard game and a career-high 21 carries. He should earn a sizable workload yet again as the Bills face the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The game should be relatively low-scoring. The Cowboys have an elite passing defense, so the Bills will likely be […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Thanksgiving - Daily Fantasy Football

Happy Thanksgiving, RotoBallers. There are three games on the agenda on Thursday to kick off Week 13. While it is hard to be thankful for the Bears and Lions, it is a little easier to get excited for the other two contests of the day. Before stuffing your face, be sure to keep up with […]

The Tape Tells All - The Seahawks Running Backs Fantasy Analysis

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at the Seattle Seahawks and their backfield. Chris Carson has been the unquestioned starter all year, but his fumbling issues […]

Qadree Ollison Too Risky To Consider Starting In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison has scored touchdowns each of the past two weeks, but has averaged just 2.6 yards per carry in the process. Meanwhile, instead of backing up Brian Hill this week, he's likely backing up Devonta Freeman (foot), who appears to be slated to make his return. Ollison may have […]

Brian Hill Not A Viable Starting Option In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill appears to be slated to return to a reserve role this week. Devonta Freeman (foot) returned to practice without limitations and figures to regain the No. 1 running back workload against the Saints on Thanksgiving. Hill was extremely ineffective in Freeman's absence, gaining just 44 yards on 24 carries […]

Devonta Freeman A Flex Play In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) returned to practice without limitations on Tuesday and should be good to go for Week 13 against the Saints. Freeman has had a rough year running the ball, but his struggles gained some promising context when the team's running game plummeted even further with him out. Brian Hill […]

Thanksgiving Thursday Matchups Analysis - Week 13 Starts/Sits

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Deshaun Watson and his motley crew of pass catchers helped to propel the Texans to an AFC South-leading 7-6 record after pulling out a victory over the Indianapolis Colts last Thursday. DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller combined for over 200 receiving yards and two scores in the win. On the other […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 11/28/19 (Showdown)

We only have one game on Thursday night, and it’s a showdown rivalry between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. We're looking at a 58 over/under with Mississippi State favored by just two points. It'll be a fun game and there should be plenty of offense on each side. This game is likely to be pretty […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 13

The final regular season game has arrived for all reasonable fantasy football leagues. If you've already locked up a playoff spot, congratulations! If you're still fighting for a spot, please don't neglect your waiver wire this week. In do-or-die scenarios you need to obtain any extra edge you can, even if that's just a slightly […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 13

We have now arrived at Week 13, which places us at the threshold of the fantasy playoffs. The unwanted process of bye weeks has been eviscerated until next season. However, if you own Ezekiel Elliott, Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray, David Montgomery, Tarik Cohen, Devin Singletary, or Bo Scarbrough, here is a reminder that they will be performing […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny had a breakout performance in Week 12 against the Eagles, carrying the ball 14 times for 129 yards and a touchdown. It was a season-high in carries for Penny and the first time he'd topped 65 yards […]

Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Benny Snell Jr. led the way for the Pittsburgh Steelers backfield in Week 12 against the Bengals. He carried the ball 21 times for 98 yards while no other running back had more than six carries in the game. Jaylen Samuels earned […]

James White Looking To Bounce Back Against Houston

New England Patriots running back James White will be looking to get his season back on track after posting one of the worst fantasy lines of his career in Week 12. White totaled negative yards from scrimmage against the Cowboys in a rain-soaked affair last week and now will face a Texans Defense that is […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nyheim Hines is quite an efficient player, but he can be a little frustrating for fantasy owners. Just this past week, against Houston, Hines had a relatively good game. You wouldn’t think so given his 61 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches, […]

Sony Michel Has RB3 Value In Week 13

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will face a Texans Defense in Week 13 that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to running backs this season. The Texans have been tough on the run most of the season but have allowed 100-yard rushing games to two different runners the past two weeks. It […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit’s backfield is a mess. I’m not going to lie to you here. They have featured more running backs than anyone in the league this year due mostly to injuries, but even with that, it’s become too random to predict. The last […]

Tarik Cohen Will Be Feast Or Famine On Thanksgiving

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will go up against a Lions Defense that is allowing the second most fantasy points to runners this season. Detroit has allowed a whopping 17 total touchdowns to opposing backs this season, one of those scores coming from Cohen in Week 10. Cohen has plenty of talent but has […]

David Montgomery A Risky Play Despite Juicy Matchup

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery, theory, should be able to feast on a vulnerable Lions Defense on Thanksgiving to kick off Week 13. But the rookie has really struggled this season and his production has gone backwards since posting 135 yards in Week 8. The Bears offense has been a mess all season and, […]

Miles Sanders Should Make Some Noise in Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders should be able to put up some numbers in a Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. With Jordan Howard (shoulder) questionable at best, Sanders could lead the backfield again and should be able to find plenty of room to run against the Dolphins "defense" on Sunday. Sanders […]

Tony Pollard Not Worth a Start on Thanksgiving

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard does not make for a good starting option in Week 13 fantasy lineups. Pollard remains one of the best handcuffs in fantasy football and is an absolute must-own for all Ezekiel Elliott owners, but he has very little standalone value.

Ezekiel Elliott Should Have a Productive Thanksgiving

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should have a solid outing on Thanksgiving against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills Defense is excellent against the pass but can be attacked through the ground game, which will be Elliott's role. The Cowboys will likely feed Elliott plenty of touches, as he should easily approach the 25 touches […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We’re in prime handcuffing season, folks. No matter the league you play in, most of the great options will be already off the board, so you have to take advantage of everything with a minimum value that you can get for free. Enter […]

Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 12, several high-end quarterbacks had terrible games due to rainy and/or windy conditions. It was both windy and rainy in the Boston area on Sunday which contributed to both Tom Brady and Dak Prescott finishing with less than 12 fantasy points. There were stiff winds in Philadelphia and as a result, Russell Wilson came […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 13)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Gus Edwards Gets Healthy Backfield Share

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 55 yards on 14 carries in Monday Night's win over the Rams. Prior to Week 12, Edwards hadn't seen double-digit carries since Week 1 against the Dolphins when he posted a similar performance. Mark Ingram will continue to lead the team in rush attempts, but Edwards has […]

Malcolm Brown Does Nothing In Week 12

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown had one rush for no yards in the Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens got up big early in the game, and the Rams were forced to abandon the run. Brown doesn't belong in fantasy lineups, but he needs to be owned for insurance on […]
