Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook Good To Go In Week 10

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was a full participant in the team's practice on Thursday. Tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) were also full participants. The Saints offense is now back at full strength ahead of a home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, which could produce […]

James Conner, Trey Edmunds, Benny Snell Out Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers running backs James Conner (shoulder), Trey Edmunds (ribs) and Benny Snell Jr. (knee) all missed practice on Thursday. Edmunds and Snell haven't practiced yet this week, while Conner was downgraded after a limited practice Wednesday. Conner isn't expected to play in Week 10 against the Rams, and both Edmunds and Snell are on […]

Ito Smith Remains Out Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (neck) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It looks like Smith will miss his second straight game despite having last week's bye to rest up. Smith had very little standalone value as Devonta Freeman's backup when healthy. Brian Hill will serve change-of-pace duties if Smith is […]

James Conner Not Expected To Play In Week 10

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) is not expected to play in a Week 10 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. While Conner has not been officially ruled out for the game, it seems unlikely that he will play. If he is active, then he is a must-start option, but Jaylen Samuels becomes an […]

Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel Return To Practice

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) both returned to practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. McCaffrey was limited, while Samuel practiced in full. Both players will be fine for Week 10 against the Packers. McCaffrey is on a mission to break records in the NFL […]

Le'Veon Bell To Be Limited Thursday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) will be limited in practice on Thursday, according to head coach Adam Gase. Bell sat out on Wednesday. His MRI exam showed no structural damage, so Bell should be able to play in Week 10 against the Giants. His practice participation on Thursday is a good sign. […]

Austin Ekeler Is A Risky Start

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has more than proven that he can be a huge playmaker when the ball is in his hands, but with Melvin Gordon back to his full form and the bevy of offensive weapons that surround Ekeler, getting the ball into his hands will be the real challenge. Since […]

Melvin Gordon Is Back To Form

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon finally got his feet under him on Sunday as he ran for 80 yards on 20 carries, and he looks like he's back to his old self. Last week was the team's first game since offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt was fired, and it coincided with Gordon getting more […]

Chase Edmonds Not Practicing Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) sat out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Edmonds missed last Thursday's game and is expected to sit out again in Week 10 against the Buccaneers. With David Johnson (ankle) returning this weekend and Kenyan Drake now in the fold as DJ's direct backup, Edmonds' […]

Matt Breida Demonstrating Lunch-Pail Effort

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida has been the model of blue-collared consistency this season. Breida has amassed double-digit touches in eight of nine contests, converting them into an efficient 5.5 yards per touch. The Niners draw a weak Seattle Seahawks rush defense in Week 10 and Breida remains firmly in the RB3 mix. […]

Tevin Coleman Draws Favorable Matchup

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman will retain his RB2 status in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. Coleman left fantasy managers on tilt after Week 9’s 36-yard flop, but draws a beatable Seattle front seven allowing 4.51 adjusted line yards per carry. The Niners already-elite rushing attack should also get bulldozing fullback Kyle […]

Jamaal Williams Gets Great Matchup Against Panthers

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams will look to continue his success into Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers. The 24-year-old has caught a touchdown in four straight games. Williams has out-touched fellow back Aaron Jones in just two of the eight games he's played, though he's managed to remain fantasy-relevant. He should be […]

Giants To Ride Saquon Barkley Versus Jets

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley figures to play an even larger role in the Giants' attack this Sunday with injuries to Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Evan Engram (foot). The Jets' offensive struggles will likely keep the game close, so Barkley should be active early and often on the ground, and his eight catches […]

Alvin Kamara Expected To Play In Week 10

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said, "I fully expect (Alvin Kamara) to be ready to play" in Week 10 against the Falcons. Kamara returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games, so he's definitely on track to return to action in a great matchup against Atlanta. Kamara should be returned […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - O.J. Howard, DeVante Parker, Cole Beasley

The fantasy football talent pool is a lot thinner this week than usual, as bye weeks take out nearly a fifth of the NFL teams from Week 10 play. With those half-dozen teams getting a week off, fantasy footballers will have to do without Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Phillip Lindsay, Courtland […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 10) - Targets and Avoids

Week 9 was one of the rare weeks where every single home team, bar the Jaguars in London, not only won on the Sunday slate but covered as well. As for survivor pools, the 49ers, Bills, and Cowboys won without much of a sweat. The Seahawks just got by the Buccaneers, and had Seattle lost, […]

Disaster Recovery is here to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about starting and to help you decide if you should […]

Warning Signs: Sam Darnold, Le'Veon Bell, Robby Anderson

This week, instead of looking at players from different teams, we are going to look at one team. Or at least a group of players considered a team according to their uniform. The New York Jets are terrible. The blame does not fall entirely on the players. Adam Gase is a bad coach, and he […]

Running Back Start/Sit Advice - Week 10

Pierre Camus and Chris Mangano break down the running back position to help with tough fantasy football lineup decisions for Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season. They decide who to start or sit among those in RB3 or flex consideration. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube to get all our latest […]

Brian Hill Is Not Worth Starting Or Rostering For Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill has established himself as the No. 3 running back in Atlanta and he could be the team's No. 2 back for the second straight week if Ito Smith (neck) is out for his second straight game. If Smith misses the game, Hill might end up seeing five or more […]

Ito Smith Not Worth Starting In Week 10 If He Suits Up

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (neck) made it through concussion protocol after missing Week 8, but is now dealing with a neck injury, making him questionable for Week 10. Even if he suits up, the Falcons have a tough Week 10 matchup against the Saints and it's hard to trust Smith, the clear No. […]

Devonta Freeman A Low-End RB2 For Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman faces one of the league's top run defenses in Week 10, which isn't good news considering Freeman has struggled mightily running the ball this year. Freeman has averaged 3.4 yards per carry on the season and has only topped 40 rushing yards twice in eight games. The Saints allow […]

T.J. Yeldon Still Not Worthy Of Fantasy Roster Spot

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for three straight weeks, ever since the return of rookie running back Devin Singletary. Yeldon has no value in fantasy at this point and would need an injury to Singletary or Frank Gore or both in order to warrant consideration for a waiver wire add.

Frank Gore Can Be Benched Or Dropped This Week

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore had a strong resurgence at the start of the year, but his fantasy relevance this year has likely come to an end, as long as rookie running back Devin Singletary stays healthy. In Week 9, Gore carried the ball 11 times for just 15 yards while Singletary had a […]

Devin Singletary A Solid RB2 In Week 10

The changing of the guard at the Buffalo Bills starting running back position began to take place last week as Devin Singletary received 20 carries compared to Frank Gore's 11. To add further validation to the depth chart swap, Gore managed just 15 yards on those 11 carries while Singletary amassed 95 yards and added […]

Ty Johnson Not A Recommended Week 10 Option

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson has seriously disappointed fantasy owners who likely dropped a good portion of their FAAB on him just two weeks ago, and more of the same should be expected with the Chicago Bears on deck in Week 10. Johnson has managed just 74 yards on 20 touches in the two […]

J.D. McKissic On Fantasy Radar In Week 10

Detroit Lions running back J.D. McKissic quickly went from being an afterthought to what could be the best fantasy option in the Lions backfield. McKissic won't win any leagues, but his continued involvement in the passing game has warranted that fantasy owners have him on their radar at the least. McKissic has seen at least […]

Ronald Jones II Has Big Opportunity In Plus Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was given a vote of confidence after his Week 9 performance, with Bucs head coach Bruce Arians telling reporters that Jones "has earned the right to play a little bit more and start the ballgame." All Jones has to do now is take advantage of this opportunity, […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

San Francisco stands alone as the sole remaining undefeated team in the NFL after a close battle in the desert. The 49ers win streak was almost interrupted by an NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals squad in Week 9, with the difference between the two teams being a field goal. Newly-acquired Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake […]
