James Conner Doubtful To Face Colts
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) hasn't practiced all week and is doubtful for Week 9 against the Colts. It's a shame after Conner had his best game of the season last Monday night, but you'll need to remove him from your starting lineups with Sunday approaching. He'll be questionable to return in Week […]

Sony Michel Has Rough Matchup
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will go up against a Ravens Defense that is allowing the ninth fewest fantasy points to opposing runners this season. Michel's season is slowly rounding into shape but could struggle to post a top fantasy line in Week 9. The second-year running back is still looking for his […]

Case Keenum, Chris Thompson, Vernon Davis Ruled Out
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (concussion), running back Chris Thompson (toe) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) have all been ruled out for Week 9 against the Bills. Rookie Dwayne Haskins will make his first career start under center, but he's a last-gasp QB2 for those desperate owners against a strong Bills Defense on the […]

Cardinals Release Alfred Morris
The Arizona Cardinals released running back Alfred Morris on Friday, according to a source. The veteran back had just one carry for four yards in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. The Cards recently acquired Kenyan Drake from the Dolphins, and he looked surprisingly good against a strong defense. Arizona also has David Johnson, Chase […]

Jacksonville's Confusing Pass Offense
Outside of Leonard Fournette, it has been hard to consistently trust a fantasy option on Jacksonville's offense. Nick Foles broke his collarbone in Week 1, thrusting sixth-round rookie Gardner Minshew II into the starting lineup. The tight end position is simply not producing numbers. We've seen the likes of James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim attempt […]

Is It Time To Bail On The Bears?
In what seems to happen to a number of teams in the league, the Chicago Bears massively exceeded expectations last season. Their defense was firing and stopping teams momentum, and the offense was able to sustain drives. Hell Mitch Trubisky even looked like a competent quarterback! They won the highly competitive NFC North division before […]

Wendell Smallwood An Awful Week 9 Option
Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood could be the starter by process of elimination on Sunday if Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson sit. This does not mean he should be seriously considered for fantasy purposes on the road against the Bills, especially if rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins gets the start in place of concussed Case […]

Nick Chubb a Solid RB1 Against Denver
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is coming off an uneven performance against the New England Patriots in Week 8. While Chubb went for 131 rushing yards, he also lost two fumbles in the contest. Chubb will look to bounce back in Week 9 against a Denver Broncos Defense that ranks 14th in DVOA this […]

Alfred Morris Not Involved
Arizona Cardinals running back Alfred Morris had one carry for four yards in the Week 9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The team gave newly acquired running back Kenyan Drake a lot more work than they anticipated, and Morris suffered. Running back David Johnson (ankle) should have enough time to heal up before the […]

Kenyan Drake Dazzles
Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake busted out for 110 rushing yards, 52 receiving yards and a touchdown against a stifling San Francisco 49ers Defense Thursday night. He had 15 rushes and four catches in what was supposed to be a "manageable" workload for a player they just acquired this week. Drake set the tone […]

Tevin Coleman Crashes Back To Earth
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman gained just 23 yards on 12 carries in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, contributing another 13 yards on two catches. He had a touchdown negated by penalty. Coleman's mediocre performance was a major buzzkill after his four-score explosion last Sunday as he was out-touched by backfield mate […]

Matt Breida Shows No Ill-Effects From Sprained Ankle
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries and caught two balls for 14 yards in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Showing no ill effects from a bum ankle suffered last Sunday, Breida led the team in touches and outpaced backfield mate Tevin Coleman in scrimmage yards by […]

Week 10 is here! Welcome to another lovely week of college football! Florida and Georgia will battle off in the best game of the week, but it doesn't have many fantasy implications. We do have two games with a 71 total, however, so there will be plenty of offense to play with. Let's get to […]

Alexander Mattison Is On RB4 Radar Versus Chiefs
Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has had at least 12 carries in three games this season and has a juicy matchup on tap in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense ranks 30th in run DVOA and has given up a whopping 10 rushing touchdowns on the year, and impact players […]

Matt Breida And Raheem Mostert Active Thursday Night
San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) are active for Thursday’s Week 9 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (inactive) is a healthy scratch. Despite the reinjury risk, Breida is a playable RB3 against one of the worst defenses in football. Mostert is a garbage time-dependent flex […]

Jamaal Williams A Good Option In Week 9
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has a great matchup ahead of him in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Since Week 6, Williams' rushing attempts have been a bit volatile, tallying a season-high 14 against the Lions but a season-low three against Oakland the following week. Fortunately for Williams, he's seen at […]

Tra Carson Lands On Injury Report
Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson (hamstring) landed on the injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Carson surprisingly saw the most touches in Detroit's backfield in Week 8 in the first game minus Kerryon Johnson, but he still managed just 12 carries for 34 yards and wasn't targeted in […]

Le'Veon Bell Frustrated With Workload
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell said he was angry and frustrated in Week 8 because he only had 12 touches in a loss to the Jaguars. Bell spoke with head coach Adam Gase about it and said they're good. He expects to be more involved this week in a cake matchup with the […]

Aaron Jones Is A Must-Start Against Chargers
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday and reportedly was seen on the practice field on Thursday. Jones injured the shoulder during the game against Kansas City but was able to return, which bodes well for his Week 9 status. The 24-year-old Jones is coming off one of […]

James Conner Out Second Straight Day
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) missed practice for the second day in a row on Thursday, and it's looking more likely that he'll be inactive on Sunday against the Colts in Week 9. With Benny Snell (knee) out multiple weeks after meniscus surgery, Jaylen Samuels is on track to return to lead this […]

Jaylen Samuels (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After finally breaking out last week against the Dolphins, James Conner reminded us of the talent that he is and the upside that he brings fantasy owners. He’s started off slow, but had his first 100+ rushing yard game last week as […]

Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel Practice In Full
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) both returned to full practices on Thursday. McCaffrey was limited as a precaution on Wednesday, while Samuel sat out. Both players should be fine for Week 9 against the Titans. McCaffrey has weekly overall RB1 upside as the workhorse of this offense, […]

Raheem Mostert Expected To Play Thursday Night
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan believes that running back Raheem Mostert (knee) will be able to play on Thursday night against the Cardinals. With Matt Breida (ankle) also expected to suit up behind Tevin Coleman, that won't leave much work for Mostert, even with San Fran sporting the NFL's No. 2-ranked running game […]

Matt Breida Will Play Against Cardinals
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle), who is questionable against the Cardinals, will play on Thursday night, according to a source. Breida felt good this morning and is good to go. He could see his snaps reduced in favor of Jeffery Wilson if Raheem Mostert is inactive, making him more of a risky […]

Miles Sanders Returns To Practice
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he'll be able to play in Week 9 against the Bears. Sanders had his best day as a pro in Week 8 against the Bills, including a rushing touchdown, but he's still […]

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice Again
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Peterson gutted through an ankle sprain last Thursday in a revenge game against his old team in the Vikings, but he may have done more damage to his ankle. He's not a lock to play in Week 9 in […]

Benny Snell Jr. Has Surgery, Out 2-3 Weeks
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. (knee) underwent surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee, according to a source. It was a minor procedure but is expected to keep him out for two to three weeks. Snell suffered the injury in the Monday night win over the Dolphins. It's a hit to the […]
