Ito Smith Sitting Out Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Smith suffered a concussion in Week 3 and must pass through the league's protocol in order to have a shot at suiting up in Week 4 against the Titans. He doesn't have any standalone value at the moment as the backup to Devonta […]

Tom Brady, Rex Burkhead Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (calf) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were both listed as limited in practice on Wednesday. Brady was on the injury report last week as well and wasn't in danger of missing the game at all. That should once again be the case in Week 4 against the Bills, […]

Mike Davis Not Worth A Fantasy Roster Spot

Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis is off to a terrible start heading into the team's matchup against the Vikings in Week 4. The team drafted David Montgomery to eventually become the starter but Davis was signed in the offseason to carry the load early on. The honeymoon is already over, going from 11 touches […]

Tarik Cohen Can't Be Trusted To Produce

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen's season is off to a dismal start heading into the team's Week 4 battle against the Vikings. Frustration has to be mounting for the play-making speedster, who has 12 receptions for 82 yards but only eight carries for 16 yards through three games. Cohen also drew the ire of […]

David Montgomery In Line For Increased Touches

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery has emerged as the clear-cut, No. 1 running back in the Bears backfield heading into Week 4. After totaling only six carries in Week 1, the rookie has racked up 31 over the past two weeks. He is still waiting for a breakout performance, but his opportunities are on […]

Terminating James Conner as Your RB1

What a rollercoaster of a year for Pittsburgh so far. The Steelers finished the 2018 season with a Week 17 win over the Bengals, but still fell short of the postseason. By the time that game was played, Antonio Brown had at least one foot out the door in Pittsburgh. Le'Veon Bell had just completed […]

No Practice For Damien Williams Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) is not at practice on Wednesday. Williams sat out in Week 3 and is off to a bad start heading into Week 4 on the road against the Lions. If he misses his second straight week, LeSean McCoy should once again play the biggest role in KC's […]

Tony Pollard Likely to Make Less Noise in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard will likely step back into his limited role as Ezekiel Elliott's backup in Week 4. Pollard scored a touchdown and ran for over 100 yards in Week 3, but that was mostly in garbage time against a useless Miami Dolphins team. With Week 4 taking the Cowboys to […]

Ezekiel Elliott One of the Top Week 4 Running Backs

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is one of the top options at the position in Week 4. Traveling to New Orleans to take on the Saints on Sunday Night Football, "Zeke" should be fully unleashed for the first time this season. He simply wasn't needed at the end of a laugher against the Miami […]

Devin Singletary, Tyler Kraft Won't Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday. Both players missed the Week 3 and will likely be questionable, at best, to face off against the Patriots in a tough matchup in Week 4. Veteran Frank Gore saw […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 9/27/19

Welcome to our first real slate of Week 5! Navy and Memphis faced off last night, and showdowns are always fun, but they don't compare to a nice four-game Friday night slate. It's a fun one, with all four games being in play. There isn't a west coast 70+ total or a team favored by […]

Corey Clement Completely Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is completely off the fantasy radar for Week 4. Clement was inactive in Week 3 due to a shoulder injury, but even when healthy he's been relegated almost exclusively to special teams. Clement has yet to record an offensive statistic and is unlikely to see much playing time unless […]

Darren Sproles Not Worth a Start in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles has been mostly phased out of the offense and is not a starting option in Week 4 fantasy matchups. Sproles had 11 touches in Week 1 and looked like a legitimate fantasy running back, but has totaled just five touches since then. He maintains his key role on special […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, the Buffalo Bills running backs were looking a bit confusing and was very much a running back by committee. With LeSean McCoy getting traded to the Chiefs, the Bills were left with Frank Gore, T.J. Yeldon, […]

Jordan Howard A Touchdown-Dependent Week 4 Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard will likely need to score a touchdown in order to make himself a fantasy-relevant option on Thursday Night Football in Week 4. Howard has been playing behind rookie Miles Sanders and has just 99 yards total in the first three games of the season. He did score a touchdown […]

Brian Hill (RB, ATL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, many fantasy owners were looking at a bounce-back season from the Atlanta Falcons star running back. Unfortunately, Devonta Freeman has without a doubt been one of the most disappointing names in fantasy football in 2019. We've […]

Miles Sanders Looks to Hang Onto the Ball in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will try to keep the ball off the ground in Week 4. Sanders fumbled twice in Week 3 and had seriously concerning fumbling issues in college. Still, he was able to pick up 53 yards on 13 carries and 73 yards on two catches against the Lions. He […]

Wayne Gallman Gets Chance With Saquon Barkley Out

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will get his first start of the season on Sunday with Saquon Barkley dealing with a high ankle sprain. As of Wednesday, the Giants haven't signed any other running backs, meaning that Gallman will be backed up by converted fullback Elijhaa Penny and practice-squad call-up Jon Hillman. That's […]

Warning Signs: Week 3 Review

As we approach Week 4, warning signs are starting to become alarming for some and false alarms for others. If we evaluate what we really need to worry about and what we don’t, it will allow us to improve the state of our fantasy teams. Were you worried about Mike Evans after two weeks? How […]

Melvin Gordon's Holdout Could Be Ending Soon

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon's contract holdout could be coming to an end soon, although no final decisions have been made on when he will report, according to league sources. Gordon was planning to return at some point in October, but he could move his reporting date up. It's good news for those […]

Time to Jump Off the Cowboys Bandwagon

Through three games, the Dallas Cowboys are 3-0 while averaging over 32 points per game. At each of the four major fantasy positions, quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end, every player on the team is no worse than 11th at their position. Their kicker, Brett Maher, is 16th, and he would be higher […]

Aaron Rodgers, Packers Offense Struggling

The Green Bay Packers offense under new head coach Matt LaFleur is ranked at No. 28 in total offense after three weeks. Rodgers has thrown for only 647 yards, the second lowest total of his career through three games of a season. His 57 completions rank as his lowest total to this point in a […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 4

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. […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 4

The legend of Gardner Minshew just keeps on rolling. Jacksonville's newly established signal-caller came out on top in an AFC South duel with the Tennessee Titans, throwing for 204 passing yards and two touchdowns while adding 18 yards on the ground. Despite valiant efforts from Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (300 passing yards, 34 rushing yards) […]

Jeffery Wilson Could Be Odd Man Out Soon

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson could be the odd man out of the backfield when Tevin Coleman (ankle) returns from his high ankle sprain. San Francisco is going with a three-man committee since Coleman went down in Week 1, with Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert and Wilson all chipping in. Wilson has carried the […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Daniel Jones. That's where this article will begin and end. As one of the many analysts who mocked the Giants on draft day and held heavy skepticism about his prospects as an NFL quarterback, let me be the first to issue a formal apology to Mr. Jones. Of course, Giants fans know they can't have […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

The better part of three weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse.
