The King's Week 4 Buy and Sell Guide

As the bye weeks roll in and the injuries mount, the fantasy football trade market is getting very busy.

Devonta Freeman Should Have A Strong Performance In Week 4

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman showed a glimpse of hope for his fantasy owners last week after two straight duds to start the season. In Week 3, Freeman rushed 16 times for 88 yards, good for 5.5 yards per carry. He also added three catches for seven yards. Fantasy owners will be thrilled for […]

T.J. Yeldon Not A Starting Option In Week 4

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon finally saw some involvement in the offense in Week 3 with No. 2 running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) out. Yeldon had eight rushes for 30 yards and two catches for 19 yards in Week 3. He also lost a fumble. Singletary is questionable for Week 4, but regardless, the […]

Frank Gore Should Be Avoided In Week 4

If you've started Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore the past two weeks, you've likely been happy with the results. This week, however, Gore will face his greatest test yet as the Bills face the Patriots. In a game that should be low scoring, Gore should have ample rushing opportunities, however, the fear is that […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts: Week 4

There are going to be a few familiar fantasy football faces missing this week, and not because of injuries. The first week of byes are upon us, fantasy folks! If you own any New York Jets (if so, I feel sorry for you) or San Francisco 49ers, you will need to find other alternatives to […]

Aaron Jones Silenced On Ground, Still Posts Solid Performance

How pleased owners are with Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones likely depends upon the format in which he’s rostered. During Thursday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jones was smothered as a rusher, carrying the ball 13 times for 21 yards with a high of seven yards. He was able to sneak into the […]

Darren Sproles Gets One Carry in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles received just one carry in Week 4, gaining four yards. He didn't make a catch in the passing game. Sproles has become almost exclusively a special teams player, and can be dropped in most standard formats. He could develop some value if another Eagles running back gets hurt, but […]

Miles Sanders Runs Well But Gets Vultured in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders ran the ball well in Week 4, but watched Jordan Howard score three touchdowns. Sanders ran the ball 11 times for 72 scoreless yards. He did not make a catch in the passing game. Sanders ran well when given the chance, but Howard got seven more touches and […]

Jordan Howard Scores Three Times in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard found the end zone three times on Thursday night. He ran the ball 15 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns, adding three catches for 28 more yards and another touchdown. Howard significantly outplayed Miles Sanders and may end up getting more run going forward. He ran the ball […]

Justin Jackson Lands On Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (calf) landed on the injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in practice. Jackson should be able to play on Sunday against the Dolphins, but his practice status on Friday will tell us a lot. This will be the last week of Jackson serving […]

Jamaal Williams Leaves On Stretcher Thursday

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (head) left the field on a cart with support for his head and neck on Thursday night after taking a vicious hit from Eagles linebacker Derek Barnett on the Packers first play from scrimmage. Williams gave the thumbs up as he left the field and was taken to […]

Ito Smith In Non-Contact Jersey

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (concussion) is practicing and returning kicks in a non-contact jersey on Thursday. While Smith might not be completely cleared from the league's concussion protocol, he's at least making some good progress and has a real shot to back up Devonta Freeman in the backfield in Week 4 against the […]

Five Ways to Replace Saquon Barkley

After being drafted as the number one pick in so many fantasy football leagues, there really isn't anything more depressing than seeing Saquon Barkley on the sideline in a walking boot and crutches. After being held by the Tampa Bay defense to just 10 yards on eight carries, it was tough to see Barkley come […]

Melvin Gordon Returns: Fantasy Scenarios to Consider

Controversy reigned throughout the preseason during the Melvin Gordon holdout.

Melvin Gordon Expected To Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has ended his contract holdout and is expected to practice on Thursday, according to a source. If own Gordon, you're stoked. But he won't play in Week 4 against the Dolphins and will likely be eased into a workhorse role starting in Week 5 against the Broncos. Austin […]

Damien Williams To Miss Practice Again

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) will miss practice again on Thursday. Williams missed the Week 3 game and has yet to practice this week. We'd say he's doubtful to face the Lions in Week 4, but a return to practice on Friday might give him a sliver of hope. Plan on keeping […]

Devin Singletary Doing Some Work Thursday

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is doing warmups at practice on Thursday. It's progress after the rookie sat out in Week 3, but he's still not a lock to return to action in Week 4 in a tough matchup against the Patriots. If Singletary returns to the field this Sunday, he won't […]

Surgery Not Recommended For Saquon Barkley

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that no surgery has been recommended for running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) for his high ankle sprain, and the head coach also said the team has no plans to put Barkley on Injured Reserve at the moment, according to a source.

Kerryon Johnson A High-End RB2 In Week 4

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson could be in line for a big Week 4 performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson had a tough time running the ball against a solid Eagles run defense in Week 3 but should be able to find more room this week against a Chiefs Defense that allows 6.2 […]

Tarik Cohen In Hot Water With Head Coach

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy was not happy about running back Tarik Cohen live streaming a video on Instagram of the team's locker room after their Monday night win over the Redskins. "I think it's something that [what] you need to do is you learn from it. It was a mistake and nothing that […]

Marlon Mack An RB2 In Week 4

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack leads the NFL in carries through three weeks with 61. In Week 4, he has a chance to have an output similar to his Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Oakland Raiders can be had through the air, but their run defense is just 16th in […]

Rashaad Penny Still Not Practicing

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday after he was inactive in Week 3. Penny injured his hamstring late last week in practice, and it's clearly still bothering him. He could be questionable again for Week 4 against the Cardinals and will need to get in some practice repetitions later this […]

Josh Jacobs Looking To Rebound This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs will look to rebound this week after a difficult matchup in Week 3. The rookie came into Sunday's game versus the Vikings battling an illness as well as a minor hip issue during the week, but he appears fully healthy going into Week 4 versus the Colts. The Indianapolis […]

Melvin Gordon Ending Holdout, To Report Thursday

According to sources, Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is ending his contract holdout and will report to the team on Thursday. He will not play in Week 4 against the Dolphins, but he's planning to be back in the fold with his teammates moving forward. It's bad news for Austin Ekeler owners, although […]

Emmanuel Sanders, Royce Freeman Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (quadriceps) and running back Royce Freeman (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders has been quarterback Joe Flacco's favorite weapon through three weeks, but he has bust potential as a WR4/flex if he's going up against Jaguars shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey this Sunday, especially if he's not […]

LeSean McCoy A Limited Participant Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Shady may not be 100 percent for Week 4 against the Lions, but he'll continue to have RB2 upside if Damien Williams (knee), who didn't practice Wednesday, misses another game. McCoy had eight carries for 54 yards […]
