Alexander Mattison Is Not A Streaming Option Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is not a player to consider for starting lineups in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Mattison is having a very solid season as the backup to Dalvin Cook as he's averaging 5.6 yards per carry and has received seven or more carries in 3-of-5 games. He had four […]

Chris Thompson Facing Favorable Week 6 Matchup

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson has been the one constant in a volatile offense this season. No matter how bad things have gotten, Thompson has seen at least five targets in every game and is averaging an even seven. He trails only Terry McLaurin for the overall team lead on a per-game basis. Moreover, […]

Latavius Murray Will Play On Sunday

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray missed practice for a personal reason and will play on Sunday. The 29-year-old has averaged 3.9 yards per carry on 24 rushing attempts this season and has caught six of seven targets. He could see an increased role on Sunday. Murray was given at least 15 touches in […]

Peyton Barber Not An Appealing Week 6 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber will have an easier matchup in Week 6 than he did in Week 5 with the Carolina Panthers on deck, but fantasy owners may want to look around for other options. Barber's value is solely tied to touchdowns, and he has scored in two consecutive games, but trusting […]

Adrian Peterson: Now Or Never Against Dolphins

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson finally has a matchup he can take advantage of in the Miami Dolphins for Week 6. The Dolphins have played one fewer game than most of the league, yet they come into this week having given up the third-most total rushing yards to opposing backs. They're giving up 153.75 […]

Ronald Jones II Could Bounce Back In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II disappointed fantasy owners in Week 5 and will look to get back on track against a porous Carolina Panthers run defense in Week 6. Jones had started to establish himself as the lead back in a messy Bucs backfield, only to receive just one more touch than […]

Alvin Kamara Listed As Questionable For Week 6

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is questionable for Week 6 against Jacksonville. The third-year pro missed practice Friday after a DNP on Wednesday and a limited practice on Thursday. Kamara likely would be on a stricter snap count if he plays on Sunday. Still, fewer backs are more involved than he is […]

Giants Cut Jonathan Hilliman, Sign Javorius Allen

The New York Giants waived running back Jonathan Hilliman on Friday and signed free-agent running back Javorius Allen in a corresponding move. Hilliman had his first career NFL start on Thursday night against the Patriots with both Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) out. He responded with 11 carries for 38 yards. Buck Allen […]

Benny Snell Jr. Worthy Of A Stash

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. will back up James Conner for the near future while Jaylen Samuels (knee) recovers from surgery. With a matchup against the LA Chargers on Sunday night, Snell won't likely get many touches except to rest Conner. However, if you're the Conner owner in your league, it's best to […]

James Conner Due For Heavy Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is expected to receive a high quantity of touches in Sunday night's game with the LA Chargers. With Mason Rudolph (concussion) expected to miss and Jaylen Samuels (knee) out for a month, there aren't many other options on offense. Conner hasn't exactly lived up to his high-draft capital this […]

Chris Carson Good To Go, Rashaad Penny Questionable

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (shoulder) was taken off the final injury report for Week 6 against the Browns, while backup Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Carson continues to carry the load for the team's backfield despite some fumbling issues to start the year. In a run-first offense against a vulnerable Cleveland […]

Chase Edmonds Worth A Flex Play

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds could see an increased share of the work in the backfield this week with running back David Johnson (back) a game-time decision. Johnson is expected to play, but he could be limited. Edmonds rushed eight times for 68 yards and a touchdown last week, and he tacked on three […]

Melvin Gordon Expected To See More Work Against Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is expected to see his snap count rise in Week 6 against the Steelers in his second game of the year after his lengthy contract holdout. Gordon played just 32 offensive snaps in Week 5 against the Broncos. "I mean, I think last week Austin Ekeler's rep count […]

David Johnson To Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) said he felt good in his return to practice on Friday, but he will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Falcons. The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo is reporting that Johnson is still likely to play on Sunday, but even if he does, he could be […]

Corey Clement Placed On Injured Reserve Friday

The Philadelphia Eagles placed running back Corey Clement (shoulder) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and promoted running back Boston Scott from the practice squad in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old will go to the IR for the second straight year. Scott and receiver Nelson Agholor are the most likely candidates to take over as […]

Darrell Henderson Could See Extended Look

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson could see his most extensive action of the season with running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) doubtful to play in Week 6. Running back Malcolm Brown should be first in line for touches, but the Rams like to use multiple backs. Henderson has the size of a change-of-pace back, […]

Malcolm Brown Figures To See More Work

Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown is expected to see a larger workload in Week 6 with running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) doubtful to play. Brown has done very little since his banner Week 1 with two scores. He'll have a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, which have been the best team […]

Todd Gurley Doubtful For Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. There is still a chance he suits up as a game-time decision, but it looks pretty bleak for him. In his expected stead, running back Malcolm Brown figures to see the bulk of the action. […]

DeSean Jackson, Corey Clement Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) and running back Corey Clement (shoulder) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Vikings. D-Jax will miss his fourth straight game and isn't a lock to return in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Philly's offense just hasn't been the same without […]

Albert Wilson, Kalen Ballage Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) and running back Kalen Ballage (foot) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 6 against the Redskins. Both players should be able to suit up in this excellent matchup. Wilson hasn't played since Week 1, but he could be a sneaky DFS […]

LeSean McCoy is Low-End Flex Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was held without a carry in the 19-13 loss to the Colts in Week 5. He caught two passes for 23 yards through the air, but it was a disappointing game for McCoy. Lead back Damien Williams is back in the mix, so McCoy could see his value […]

Damien Williams Hopes for More Action in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams returned last week after a two-week absence but failed to do much on the ground. Williams rushed nine times for 23 yards and didn't find the end zone in the Week 5 loss to the Colts. Williams appears healthy now but is battling veteran back LeSean McCoy for […]

Kenyan Drake Enters the Conversation

Like the rest of his winless team, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a fantasy dud in 2019 thus far, totaling just 220 yards and zero touchdowns in four games. The good news is that after getting only six touches in Week 1, Drake's usage has been steadily increasing, with him receiving 11, […]

Cardinals Encouraged About David Johnson's Status

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that he talked with running back David Johnson (back) and thinks there's a chance the running back plays in Week 6 against the Falcons. "I'm not 100 percent sure, but I'm certainly encouraged," Keim said. Johnson will likely be questionable on the final injury report and could come […]

Don't Expect Much From Duke Johnson In Week 6

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson continues to play second fiddle to Carlos Hyde this season. With only 32 attempts for 205 yards, Johnson has been just as disappointing as when he was a member of the Cleveland Browns. He likely won't do any damage from a fantasy standpoint against the Chiefs, even as a […]

Christian McCaffrey Not On Final Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) is not listed on the final injury report for Week 6 against the Buccaneers in London. McCaffrey didn't practice on Wednesday, but the team said it'll be a normal occurrence moving forward in order to give the star running back some rest during the week. McCaffrey leads the […]

Carlos Hyde Continues To Lead The Way

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde continues to outproduce Duke Johnson this season. Hyde has compiled 310 yards on 73 attempts but has only managed to find the end zone twice. In Week 6, expect the 29-year-old to continue to split time with Johnson, who has 32 carries this season, which will decrease Hyde's stock […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 6

This is Christian McCaffrey's fantasy world and we're all just living in it. At this point, it's just that simple, as it doesn't seem to matter who he's playing with or against. Run CMC is running and catching whatever and whenever he wants. If you played against him in Week 5 (*cough-cough*), you probably got […]

Leonard Fournette Hopes To Stay Hot On Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette has been on a tear over the last few weeks, rushing for 333 yards and a touchdown on 52 attempts. Fournette will look to keep it together in Week 6 against the Saints, a team that has allowed runners to accrue 108.4 yards per game and seven scores on […]

Raheem Mostert Now Third In Line

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert enters Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams as just a deep flex option. With the return of Tevin Coleman in Week 5, Mostert took a clear back seat in the Niners running scheme, gaining most of his 34 yards in garbage time. Mostert continues rotating in during […]
