Carlos Hyde A Volume Play This Sunday

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde has gotten 19 or more carries in four of his past five games and will need that type of workload to succeed in a tough matchup at Baltimore. The Ravens are a top-10 defense in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs so Hyde isn't a must-start player […]

Le'Veon Bell Expected To Play Sunday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (illness) will be a low-end RB1 in a good matchup with the Redskins this Sunday. He was limited this week in practice with an illness, but head coach Adam Gase has said he expects Bell to be fine to suit up. The Jets have struggled to run the […]

Week 11 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Count 'em down. There are only three weeks left before the playoffs begin in most fantasy leagues. If you survived the dreaded Week 10 with a season-high six teams on bye, it's a true testament to your squad's depth and your savvy on the waiver wire. Pat yourself on the back. Four more teams have […]

Tevin Coleman Grabbing The Reins

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman will shoulder the load in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable, Coleman will likely handle more than his typical 50 percent snap share and is probably in-line for a season-high in touches. With quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggling and a banged-up pass-catching corps, […]

Jordan Howard Not Yet Cleared for Contact

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is dealing with a stinger and has not been cleared for contact yet. With the Eagles facing off against the Patriots on Sunday, Howard's availability is in serious jeopardy. Darren Sproles was just ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn hip flexor, leaving rookie Miles […]

Darren Sproles Done for the 2019 Season

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles will miss the rest of the 2019 season due to a torn hip flexor. The veteran back suffered the injury originally in Week 5 but was able to return in Week 9. Sproles missed most of last season due to injury as well, which led him to return for […]

Keep Stashing Running Backs the Right Way

Hells to the yeah, my fellow #AllBenchRB truthers. For those of you who don’t know what #AllBenchRB is, let me give you a short recap before I get to the goods. #AllBenchRB is a strategy I’ve coined where you fill your bench with, as the name implies, only RBs. Or at least as many running […]

Trey Edmunds Finishes With Three Carries

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Trey Edmunds finished with just three carries for 11 yards during the loss to the Browns. Edmunds yielded carries to Jaylen Samuels, who finished with five attempts for 26 yards, and while both men didn't fully capitalize on the ground after the premature departure of James Conner (shoulder), they were involved […]

Jaylen Samuels Comes In For Relief On Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels finished with five attempts for 26 yards in addition to five receptions for 19 yards and a touchdown against the Browns in Week 11. Samuels stepped up after James Conner was ruled out on Thursday night after re-injuring the same shoulder that kept him out over the last few […]

Kareem Hunt Picks up 46 Receiving Yards

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried the ball six times for 12 yards and added six receptions for 46 yards in a 21-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Hunt continues to be deployed as Cleveland's passing-down back, out-targeting Nick Chubb eight to one in the contest. Chubb also appeared to tweak […]

Nick Chubb Rushes for 92 Yards in Win

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 27 times for 92 yards in a 21-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Chubb was mostly bottled up by a tough Pittsburgh run defense but the 27 carries go down as a season-high as he became the first NFL player to rush for […]

James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster Exit Game With Injuries

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) were forced to leave Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Browns. Conner, who missed the last two games with the shoulder injury, aggravated it early in the game, while Smith-Schuster got sandwiched on a tackle in between multiple Browns defenders in the […]

Marlon Mack Has A Good Matchup In Week 11

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has only cleared 100 scrimmage yards in a game twice this season. One of those was all the way back in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. In Week 11, he has a good matchup that could see that number grow to three. The Jacksonville Jaguars, Indy's Week […]

Kalen Ballage Looks to Improve in Week 11

With all of his competition for touches being either traded or suspended, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage did little to impress in last week's 16-12 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Rushing for only 43 yards on 20 carries, and having rushed for only 113 yards on the season, Ballage has been a complete disappointment […]

Raheem Mostert, Dante Pettis Limited Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) and wide receiver Dante Pettis (back) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Mostert has been limited all week but should play and serve as Tevin Coleman's backup in Week 11 against the Cardinals with Matt Breida expected to miss one to two weeks. Mostert will have […]

David Montgomery, Trey Burton Miss Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery (ankle) and tight ends Trey Burton (calf) and Adam Shaheen (foot) missed practice on Thursday. Montgomery rolled his ankle in practice on Wednesday and could wind up as questionable for Sunday night against the Rams. That will obviously pose a big headache for fantasy owners, but Montgomery is […]

Adrian Peterson Fine For Week 11

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that running back Adrian Peterson was rested in practice on Thursday, and he'll be fine for Week 11 against the Jets. The 34-year-old has been the bell-cow back since Callahan took over, and he's seen at least 18 carries in three of the last four games, so […]

Adrian Peterson Held Out Of Practice Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) is not practicing on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It's a downgrade for AD, but the Redskins could just be resting the veteran with the season entering the second half. After all, interim head coach Bill Callahan has been riding Peterson hard since he took over. Even […]

Chase Edmonds Absent Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday and is on track to miss another game in Week 11 against the 49ers. Edmonds had some fleeting RB2 appeal when David Johnson (ankle, back) was sidelined, but that opportunity has dried up after the team traded […]

Qadree Ollison Worthy Of Speculative Add But Not Start-Worthy

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison should have an opportunity to receive his first NFL carry this week. The team will likely be without No. 1 running back Devonta Freeman (foot) for the game, making Brian Hill the next-man-up and Ollison his potential No. 2. Ollison is the biggest back amongst the Falcons' core […]

Ty Johnson Back At Practice Thursday

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's unclear if Johnson has passed the league's concussion protocol, but it's progress nonetheless and gives him a shot to play in Week 11 against the Cowboys. If he's active, expect the Lions to go with a three-headed […]

David Montgomery Rolled His Ankle Wednesday

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that rookie running back David Montgomery (ankle) "lightly rolled" his ankle in practice on Wednesday. The Bears will keep an eye on him before the Week 11 matchup on Sunday night against the Rams. It's a situation to watch, and it could be troubling for fantasy owners with […]

Devonta Freeman Projected To Miss Two Weeks

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) has been held out of practice this week and figures to be sidelined for Week 11 and potentially Week 12 as well. He is dealing with a foot injury that he suffered in Week 10 against the Saints. He is currently listed as doubtful for Week 11 against […]

Start Brian Hill As An RB2 In Week 11

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill has a golden opportunity this week with Devonta Freeman (foot) likely out and Ito Smith (neck) on Injured Reserve. Hill appears to be the team's No. 1 running back for now. Last week, Hill saw his first extended action of the year when Freeman first suffered his foot injury. […]

Redskins To Rotate Adrian Peterson, Derrius Guice

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) will return in Week 11 against the Jets after missing eight weeks with a torn meniscus in his knee. Previous head coach Jay Gruden sat Adrian Peterson in Week 1 with Guice as the lead back, but interim head coach Bill Callahan has built the offense around Peterson […]

Le'Veon Bell To Be Limited In Practice

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (ribs) will be limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Jets were just giving Bell a breather in practice on Wednesday, so you should expect him to be fine for Week 11 against the Redskins. The team's starting running back probably isn't 100 percent […]

James Conner Good To Go For Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 11 against the Browns on Thursday night. Conner will return after missing the last two weeks, and he should be in a workhorse role in a solid matchup against Cleveland's weak run defense. […]

David Johnson Not On Week 11 Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle, back) is not listed on the team's initial injury report for Week 11 against the 49ers. Johnson just didn't look like himself in the Week 10 loss to the Buccaneers, and he had just five carries on the day. He's certainly not 100 percent, and fantasy owners should […]

Matt Breida to Miss a Game or Two

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida is expected to miss "a week or two" after aggravating a low-ankle sprain in the Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It's mostly good news, and there was some concern Breida would have to miss a more significant amount of time. Tevin Coleman will operate as the […]

Chase Edmonds Still Not Practicing

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) missed practice again on Wednesday and looks likely to miss another game in Week 11 against the 49ers. Edmonds had RB2 upside while filling in for the injured David Johnson for several weeks, but Edmonds is now injured himself and the Cardinals have Kenyan Drake as depth behind […]
