BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Atlanta Falcons have two things going for them that every fantasy owner should love: they have an elite offense and a horrendous defense. As a result, you can expect a lot of fantasy points to be scored from the Falcons' skill […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: We all know just how valuable handcuffs can be in fantasy football. Getting that one running back off the waiver wire late in the season after the lead running back goes down can really end up being a game-changer. One of the most […]

Dion Lewis Does Little Against Buffalo

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis had two carries for 11 yards to go along with two receptions for 19 yards during the 14-7 loss to Buffalo on Sunday. With the Bills Defense recording five sacks, while pressing quarterback Marcus Mariota throughout the day, nobody outside of Derrick Henry got anything going in Week 5, […]

Derrick Henry Accounts For Titans Only Score

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry provided the only source of scoring against a tough Bills Defense on Sunday, finishing things up with 78 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

Melvin Gordon Looked Rusty In First Game Back

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon got his first crack on Sunday, and he certainly looked like he hadn't played any football in months.

Royce Freeman Has Stale Week Against Chargers

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman had a fairly stale week against the Los Angeles Chargers in a road contest for the Broncos. Freeman had an impressive 67 yards on 13 rushing attempts, averaging 4.7 per attempt but sadly those numbers don't do much for fantasy owners. The Oregon product also lacked in the passing […]

Phillip Lindsay Shines Against Chargers

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was the focal point of the Broncos offense as they got their first win of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lindsay saw solid production out of the backfield, tallying 114 yards and a touchdown on 15 rushing attempts. The feature back also played a role in the […]

Nyheim Hines Leads The Team In Receiving Yards

Chase Edmonds Gets Involved

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds rushed eight times for 68 yards and a touchdown and caught three balls for 18 yards in the Week 5 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

David Johnson Has OK Week 5

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed 17 times for 91 yards and caught three balls for 65 yards in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Johnson had a great matchup, and his yardage totals were good, but there was room for more. He has struggled to find holes all season due to a weak […]

Ito Smith Gains 64 Total Yards In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had his biggest yardage output on the season in Week 5. He rushed five times for 19 yards and caught all six of his targets for 45 yards.

Le'Veon Bell Totals 88 Yards

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell rushed for 43 yards on 15 carries while racking up 45 receiving yards on seven receptions in a loss to the Eagles.

Alexander Mattison Rushes For 52 Yards In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison rushed seven times for 52 yards in Week 5's victory over the New York Giants. He did not receive a target in the game.

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon earned two carries and five targets in Sunday's 14-7 victory over the Titans. He rushed for 15 yards and caught four of his targets for 13 yards.

Frank Gore Rushes For 60 Yards In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore shouldered the rushing workload for the Bills once again in Week 5, but the results were slightly underwhelming.

Joe Mixon Rushes For 93 Yards

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon recorded a season-high 93 yards off of 19 carries in the loss to Arizona on Sunday. After rushing for 62 yards in Week 4, the third-year man was able to get a little something going against a weak Cardinals Defense. Things will get much more difficult for Mixon in […]

Reggie Bonnafon Scores On Sunday

Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon rushed for 80 yards and a score off of five attempts against the Jaguars on Sunday. While Christian McCaffrey virtually monopolized the team's offensive attack, the rookie was able to get something going after posting just five yards so far in 2019. Nonetheless, he possesses little fantasy value unless […]

Brandon Bolden Catches 29-Yard Touchdown In Win

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady in the teams 33-7 win over the Redskins in Week 5.
