Damien Williams Has Another Awful Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has been basically a ghost on the field since Week 2. He finished with six total rushing yards during Week 6, but managed to have a worse fantasy game the following week. Williams rushed nine times for seven yards in the Week 7 victory over the Broncos on Thursday. […]

LeSean McCoy Goes Over 60 Yards in Win

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was strong in the running game for the team during their Week 7 victory over the Denver Broncos. McCoy rushed 12 times for 64 yards and caught two passes through the air for 12 extra yards on Thursday. McCoy has been clearly rushing better than lead back Damien […]

Deebo Samuel, Raheem Mostert Yet To Practice This Week

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) and running back Raheem Mostert (knee) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Samuel and Mostert are on the wrong side of questionable to play in Week 7 against the Redskins. On a run-first team, Samuel just hasn't seen enough targets to be […]

Adrian Peterson, Case Keenum Back To Full Practice

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (quadriceps) and quarterback Case Keenum (foot, shoulder) both returned to a full practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Redskins were likely just resting their veterans on Wednesday, so expect Peterson and Keenum to be out there in Week 7 against the 49ers. Peterson had 20-plus carries […]

Dalvin Cook Primed For Huge Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is in line for a monster game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. The Lions Defense has already given up seven rushing touchdowns and are allowing 5.1 yards per carry and 133.8 rushing yards per game. They've also allowed a running back to score at least 20 PPR […]

Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook In Danger Of Missing Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and tight end Jared Cook (ankle) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday and could be in jeopardy of missing Week 7 against the Bears. They'll need to get in at least some limited practice on Friday. Kamara fought through his injuries last […]

Royce Freeman Is A Viable PPR Flex Option In Week 7

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman continues to carve out a significant role in the Broncos passing offense as the season progresses. This allows him to hold flex value in a PPR setting, as he is seeing between four and five receptions a week out of the backfield. Expect much of the same against Kansas […]

Phillip Lindsay Faces Weak Chiefs Run Defense

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is starting to build an impressive log of games to start the year and he looks to keep the ball rolling against one of the league's worst run defenses on Thursday night. The Chiefs have been abysmal against the run, which should make Lindsay owners salivate as he has […]

Rex Burkhead Still Limited In Practice

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) remains limited in practice as the team prepares to take on the Jets this Monday night in Week 7. Burkhead has missed the past two games and would certainly like another crack at the Jets Defense. In Week 3, Burkhead racked up 69 yards from scrimmage with […]

James White Has PPR Appeal In Week 7

New England Patriots running back James White will be on the fantasy radar as a solid PPR play in Week 7 against the Jets. White is far off his production from last season but has been active the past three games. White has 23 receptions for 149 yards during that span and the Jets have […]

Sony Michel Out For Revenge Against Jets

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will look to atone for totaling only 11 rushing yards in Week 3 when the Patriots take on the Jets for a second time this Monday night. Michel's arrow is slowly tilting upward, averaging 80 rushing yards a game with one touchdown over his last three games. He […]

Jamaal Williams An RB3 Against The Raiders

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has RB3 value in deeper leagues against the Oakland Raiders this week. Williams returned from injury against the Detroit Lions, taking full advantage of the struggles of Aaron Jones. Williams finished the game with 104 yards on the ground, with an additional 32 yards and a touchdown through […]

Kerryon Johnson A Mid-Range RB2 In Tough Week 7 Matchup

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson was given the keys to the Lions backfield but has yet to impress fantasy owners who spent an early-round draft pick on the 22-year-old. Johnson is averaging a measly 3.3 YPC and has seen just 13 targets through the air over five games. Disappointing to say the least. Johnson […]

Aaron Jones A Borderline RB1 This Week Against Oakland

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is a borderline RB1 this week facing the Oakland Raiders. Jones found himself marginalized against the Detroit Lions after failing to catch a touchdown pass. Jones watched as Jamaal Williams impressed on the field after his return from injury. The Raiders have been one of the better units […]

Rams Hope Todd Gurley Can Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (thigh) is "on a good pace to hopefully be able to play on Sunday" in Week 7 against the Falcons after he was inactive last week. McVay also said Gurley is "feeling good" and is "going to participate in a limited fashion" […]

Latavius Murray A Good Start In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray could have a big opportunity in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. Starter Alvin Kamara is battling injury and pending the injury reports, looks doubtful for the upcoming matchup. Enter Latavius Murray, who is coming off a game in which he averaged a season-high 5.5 yards per carry […]

Chris Thompson Still Out Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) remained sidelined at practice for the second straight day Thursday. It's looking unlikely that Thompson plays in Week 7 against the 49ers while dealing with a minor case of turf toe. Adrian Peterson should see another heavy workload this Sunday, but it might not matter against San Fran's […]

Matt Breida Doing Fine As Second In Command

Despite playing second fiddle to backfield mate Tevin Coleman since his return, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida still holds plenty of standalone fantasy value. Playing fewer snaps than Coleman, Breida has converted 31 touches into 192 scrimmage yards and two scores since Week 5. The third-year back has also been utilized in the […]

Wayne Gallman Practicing In Full

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (concussion) practiced in full on Thursday. After missing last Thursday's contest, Gallman looks to be on track to return in Week 7 against the Cardinals. However, Saquon Barkley (ankle) is also practicing in full and should be able to return after a two-game absence. Gallman will be a […]

Tevin Coleman Showing His Value

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has become a focal point of the team’s offense since returning in Week 5 from injury. Coleman has accrued 36 touches in two games, cashing in with 158 scrimmage yards and a couple scores. Entering Week 7 against the Washington Redskins, the dual-threat runner will flirt with backend […]

Pending Injury Reports, Alvin Kamara A Risky Start In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is reportedly dealing with a high ankle injury this week. This ankle injury and a knee injury Kamara suffered in last week's game put his Week 7 status in serious jeopardy. The Saints prepared for the worst by signing veteran running back Zach Zenner. Kamara has tallied 373 […]

Ito Smith Not A Viable Starting Option In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith only earned three carries and wasn't targeted at all in the passing game in Week 6. He had 11 touches in Week 5 and had generally been more involved in the offense prior to last week, but given the lack of activity in the team's most recent game, he's […]

Dion Lewis Droppable Ahead Of Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has been a complete non-factor thus far in the season. Lewis, who saw just four touches for 19 yards in what should have been a very favorable game script a week ago, is certainly not a must-hold anymore, even for Henry owners. The offense as a whole, aside from […]

Derrick Henry Looking To Bounce Back Against Chargers

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is looking to bounce back in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers following a disappointing performance in Denver. Henry rushed 15 times for just 28 yards a week ago, but he gets a favorable home matchup this week against a Chargers team allowing an average of 150 total […]

Devonta Freeman Should Stay Productive In Week 7

It's been a strange year so far for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. He's averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and has been held under 50 rushing yards in all but two games so far this year. However, he has 25 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns through the air over the season, […]

David Johnson Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. There shouldn't be any drama this week over whether Johnson will suit up. He'll be out there in an excellent Week 7 matchup against the Giants as the Cardinals lead back once again. Consider him a surefire RB1 […]

Jets Offense Ready for Takeoff - Le'Veon Bell, Jamison Crowder, Robby Anderson

The Jets picked up their first win of the season on Sunday, a rousing two-point victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Sam Darnold was the big story, returning to revive an offense that had scored 23 points in three games without him. Suddenly optimism is reigning in New York/New Jersey after the franchise QB came back […]

T.J. Yeldon Not A Starting Option In Week 7

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has served as the Bills' No. 2 running back behind Frank Gore since Week 3, after the team lost Devin Singletary (hamstring) to an injury. Singletary is looking likely to make his return in Week 7, which is bad news for Yeldon. Yeldon had a season-high 10 touches in […]

Start Frank Gore With Confidence In Week 7

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has received at least 16 touches in four straight games. This week, he faces a Dolphins Defense that just allowed Adrian Peterson and the Redskins to run all over it. Gore has a fantastic opportunity to rack up around 100 rushing yards with a good chance to score, making […]

Devin Singletary Could Return This Week, But Is A Risky Start

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) was a full practice participant on Wednesday. Even though he is still listed as questionable for Week 7, he appears to be on track to take the field and make his first appearance since Week 2. The Bills have an excellent matchup at home against the Dolphins, which […]
