Dolphins Open To Trading Kenyan Drake

The Miami Dolphins have had trade talks with teams centered around running back Kenyan Drake, and they would trade him if the right offer presents itself, according to sources. Drake has had no extension talks with Miami since training camp and would welcome a change of scenery. He's been the team's lead back this year, […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/17/19

We're working with another two-game slate here, but these of these games are going to be exciting. The bout between ULL and Arkansas State is approaching a 70 total, so it should be a fun game to watch. UCLA and Stanford both have bad defenses as well and some fireworks there wouldn't surprise me either. […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 7

The bye week difficulties continue this week with Carolina, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay all getting their rest in Week 7. It should be noted, however, that just because a player is currently in their bye week, doesn't mean you should avoid them on the waiver wire. In fact, this is often the easiest way […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 7

The New England Patriots continue to roll through the competition. Tom Brady managed to trounce the New York Giants with 334 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns, vulturing goal line work from Sony Michel who failed to eclipse 100 yards despite carrying the football 22 times. Each team's top receiving option produced exceptional fantasy days, […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 7

Welcome to Week 7 of the 2019 NFL season. We kick this week off with a fun game in Mile High Stadium between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. The Chiefs are road favorites, even though they've struggled in each of their last two games. The Broncos on the other hand, haven't allowed a […]

Marlon Mack Is An RB2 In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was a workhorse in Week 5 with 29 carries and 32 total touches. However, he wasn't able to punch the ball into the end zone. In Week 7, he should get some opportunities to carry the ball, but his workload is almost guaranteed to be lower. The Houston Texans […]

Darrel Williams (RB, KC) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: One of the more frustrating backfields in fantasy football this year, has been the Kansas City Chiefs. Whether it has been veteran LeSean McCoy or Damien Williams, the backfield has been a bit tough to predict week in and week out. The appeal […]

Josh Jacobs Has Monster Week 7 Potential

Coming out of a bye week, Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is in prime position to pick up where he left off after a dominating Week 5 performance. After trouncing the Bears Defense for 143 total yards and two rushing scores two weeks ago, the 21-year-old will be leaned on heavily once again versus […]

Rashaad Penny Not On Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is not listed on the initial injury report for Week 7 against the Ravens. It's a bit of a surprise after Penny was inactive in Week 6 against the Browns. He should return to being a change-of-pace back behind workhorse Chris Carson. Now that Carson's fumbling issues are […]

LeSean McCoy Has Flex Appeal in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has put together somewhat of a rollercoaster season thus far in fantasy leagues. It seems like McCoy's fantasy value changes dramatically each week. He saw almost all the carries on the ground during their Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. However, McCoy saw no carries in the […]

Damien Williams is Tough to Trust in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams could be a risky option in standard fantasy leagues against the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Williams saw just one carry for six yards in the loss last week. Veteran LeSean McCoy has been doing most of the work on the ground lately. Williams could see some chances […]

Todd Gurley Limited, Malcolm Brown Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (thigh) will take part in individual drills at practice on Wednesday, while head coach Sean McVay said that running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is day-to-day. Gurley was inactive last weekend but has a chance to return in Week 7 against the Falcons in a pristine matchup. He'd have […]

Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook, Tre'Quan Smith Miss Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee), tight end Jared Cook (ankle) and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) all missed practice on Wednesday. Kamara could miss practice all week with a mild high ankle sprain, but he's still hoping to play in Week 7 against the Bears. In a tough matchup on potentially […]

Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson, Case Keenum Sit Out

Washington Redskins running backs Adrian Peterson (quadriceps) and Chris Thompson (toe) and quarterback Case Keenum (foot, shoulder) all sat out of practice on Wednesday. Thompson is the most in danger of sitting out Week 7 against the 49ers with turf toe. You should consider other options if you've been using him as a PPR flex. […]

David Johnson Misses Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Johnson missed most of practice last week but still managed to play in Week 6 and went off for a rushing and receiving touchdown against the Falcons. He'll have another great matchup against the Giants on the road in Week 7 and should […]

Derrius Guice Could Practice Next Week

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that running back Derrius Guice (knee) could return to practice next week, but nothing is definite. Guice has been bothered by injuries since he came into the NFL, and there remains no timetable for his return. He's still a worthy stash in deeper leagues given the team's […]

Saints Sign Zach Zenner For Alvin Kamara Insurance

The New Orleans Saints signed free-agent running back Zach Zenner on Wednesday, according to a source. The move was made for insurance in case Alvin Kamara (ankle) can't play in Week 7 against the Bears. Kamara was noticeably limited in the Week 6 win and could be limited or ruled out this Sunday in a […]

Tarik Cohen's Value Resides In Passing Game

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen has been bottled up in most of the team's first five games heading into Week 7. Cohen has 20 receptions this season but only 37 rushing yards and is averaging only 6.4 yards per catch. The speedster brings explosiveness but has struggled, along with the entire Chicago offense, to […]

David Montgomery Has Stiff Week 7 Matchup

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will have a tough matchup in Week 7 against the Saints. The rookie is coming off a bye week and has yet to be unleashed this season. He will go up against a Saints Defense that is allowing the fifth fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. The Saints […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Running Back Metrics That Matter - NFL NextGen Stats

It's been a month--a full month!--since the last time we took a look at our beloved running backs. I don't think there is a hotter topic of discussion between pro- and anti-analytics than rushing. The guys fighting for stat-supremacy are all about using the passing game as much as possible while ditching the run; the […]

Saquon Barkley, Evan Engram Practicing In Full

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and tight end Evan Engram (knee) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. Barkley and Engram are both on track to return for a mouthwatering Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals. Barkley's owners have to be ecstatic that he will wind up missing just two games […]

Miles Sanders Not an Exciting Week 7 Choice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is not an exciting choice for a Week 7 fantasy lineup. Sanders is playing passing downs behind early-down lead back Jordan Howard and isn't doing much in the red zone, severely limiting his upside. The Eagles travel to Dallas to take on a strong Cowboys Defense and could […]

Jordan Howard Could Have a Tough Time in Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could struggle in Week 7. The Eagles travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys in a battle for first place, and Howard will face off against a tough Dallas run defense. While he has become the head of the Philly backfield, Howard is still a zero in the […]

Devin Singletary To Practice In Full

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) will practice in full on Wednesday. It looks like Singletary will return to action in Week 7 against the Dolphins after resting up during the bye week. The 22-year-old rookie has just 10 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown in two games this year and hasn't […]

Tony Pollard Unlikely to Do Much in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard won't likely have too big of a role in Week 7. The Cowboys will welcome the Eagles into town for Sunday Night Football, and starter Ezekiel Elliott will almost certainly see a monster workload in what should be a close game. Pollard remains a handcuff with league-winning upside, […]

Ezekiel Elliott Set for a Tough Matchup in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will face a difficult challenge in Week 7. The Cowboys will host the Philadelphia Eagles in a winner-takes-first-place-for-now battle on Sunday Night Football. The Eagles Defense has essentially been non-existent against the pass but has actually been very strong against the run. Elliott should still put up numbers, especially […]

Titanic Disappointment - Will Ryan Tannehill Help Tennessee?

In the midst of being shutout by the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Tennesse Titans coach Mike Vrabel made a move that many casual NFL fans had been expecting for the past few weeks: he decided to give Ryan Tannehill a shot at quarterback instead of Marcus Mariota. While Tannehill wasn't noticeably better on Sunday, throwing […]
