Damien Williams, LeSean McCoy Headed In Opposite Direction

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) isn't scheduled to practice again on Thursday, while the Chiefs are saying that LeSean McCoy (ankle) will practice. Williams hasn't practiced yet this week, making him doubtful to play on Sunday against the Ravens. McCoy might be questionable but has a much better chance of suiting up. […]

Devin Singletary Not Practicing Thursday

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (knee) is not participating in practice for the second straight day Thursday. The rookie must get in some sort of practice on Friday in order to have a shot at playing in Week 3 against the Bengals, but it's not looking good right now. He'd be a pretty […]

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

We'll kick things off in week four with a showdown between the Houston Cougars and Tulane Green Wave. Tulane is favored by five points and Vegas has set a 56 total. Tulane will do their best to slow things down and establish the run, while Houston will speed it up and primarily attack with the […]

Jaylen Samuels Could See Increased Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels may be in line for more touches in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. The second-year back took 22 offensive snaps last week after James Conner (knee) was forced out of the contest. While it only resulted in four touches for 35 yards, Samuels was clearly the number […]

Josh Jacobs Has Lost Weight

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (groin, illness), on top of the groin injury he's dealing with, said he's been sick and has lost 10 pounds. Jacobs could still play in Week 3 against the Vikings in a tough matchup, but he may not be close to 100 percent and could lose valuable touches to […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: We've all heard about how frustrating the New England Patriots' backfield can be for fantasy football purposes. Sometimes this backfield can be impossible to predict, so we just have to sit back and see who Bill Belichick wants to feed the ball […]

Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, one of my favorite rookie running backs outside of the “big three” was and still is, Justice Hill. He is quick and elusive. He’s got great hands and possesses that home run type of ability where he’s […]

Ito Smith Not A Starting Option In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has shown some positive signs through two games this season. He's carried the ball ten times for 63 yards, good for 6.3 yards per carry, which is far superior than the average of Falcons lead running back Devonta Freeman, who is averaging just 2.2 yards per carry. Still, it's […]

Devonta Freeman Still A Worthy RB2 Start

It's been a nightmare start to the season for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. Through two games, Freeman has carried the ball 19 times for just 41 yards, while adding six catches for 54 yards. The receiving numbers are a nice little boost, but his 2.2 yards-per-carry average is atrocious. The Vikings and Eagles, […]

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you recall back to the 2018 season, there was a brief period towards the end of the year where Gus Edwards was very useful for fantasy purposes. In Week 11, he was named the starter and put up 115 yards and […]

Leonard Fournette Has Juicy Matchup On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should be considered a strong fantasy start in Week 3. The Jags have made it clear through two weeks that Fournette is the only running back on the team capable of being used offensively -- he played 97 percent of the team's Week 2 snaps -- and the Titans […]

T.J. Yeldon Not A Starting Option In Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon stands to benefit if the team's No. 2 running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) is out or limited in Week 3, but Yeldon still has too much risk built in to consider starting. He's yet to touch the ball through two games this year. He likely needs either starting running […]

Frank Gore A Decent RB2 Option In Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore turned in a strong fantasy performance in Week 2 with 19 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. This week, Gore's situation looks even better as the team's No. 2 running back Devin Singletary is nursing a hamstring injury and is currently questionable for the game. The Bills have […]

The Stream Team - Week 3 Priority Free Agents

Throughout the fantasy football season, streaming becomes an important part of winning your weekly matchups. This is especially true when we start hitting the bye weeks. Knowing who to stream and when to stream them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup, and making the right streaming decisions throughout the season could easily […]

Under-The-Radar Booms and Busts: Week 3

Now that every quarterback in the NFL is now injured, sick, retired or benched, finding the right booms and busts might be the only way some fantasy players can win this week. If things are not difficult enough for fantasy players, this is the last week before teams starting taking time off for the dreaded […]

Peyton Barber Looks To Build Off Week 2 Performance

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, coming off an impressive 83-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 2, will look to keep things rolling Sunday with the New York Giants coming to town. Reports had suggested that Barber was in line to play second fiddle to Ronald Jones II against the Panthers in Week 2, but […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Friday Night Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 9/20/19

Welcome to the first real slate of this college football week 4. We have a fun three-game slate on our hands and it's a fun one. There isn't a single game that has a higher over/under than the rest, so we're working with a pretty balanced set of scores here. Let's boost the bankroll on […]

Christian McCaffrey A Must-Start

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will surely rebound in Week 3 against the Cardinals. After a dismal performance against the Buccaneers that saw the 23-year-old rush for just 37 yards on 16 attempts, the Panthers will next square off with one of the weaker defensive teams in the league on Sunday. With the Cardinals […]

Kerryon Johnson A High-Upside RB2 In Week 3 Matchup

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson could be in line for a big Week 3 performance against an ailing Philadelphia Eagles squad. Johnson should be able to do some damage through the air against an Eagles Defense that has allowed 15 receptions to running backs through the first two weeks of the season, and with […]

Derrick Henry Set For Thursday Night

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry will continue to be heavily involved on Thursday night against the Jaguars. Henry has been productive throughout the first two games of the season, racking up 165 yards and two rushing touchdowns on 34 attempts. With the Titans' passing game not doing much to impress, expect the 25-year-old to […]

Josh Jacobs Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs got in a limited practice Wednesday after dealing with a groin issue following Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The fact that the rookie participated early in the week is a good sign, and owners should be confident that he suits up for Week 3 barring any setbacks. Jacobs has […]

Matt Breida's Usage Suggests Bankable Floor

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida is a safe RB2 in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year back raced for 121 yards in Week 2 on just 12 carries and should again operate in a near-even split with Raheem Mostert. Behind one of the best offensive lines through two weeks, both Breida […]

Raheem Mostert Shining As Dual-Threat Runner

Given an opportunity in Week 2, San Francisco running back Raheem Mostert broke out with 151 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. The fourth-year special teams veteran played well in limited opportunities last season (34 carries, 7.7 YPC) and should continue co-chairing the backfield with Matt Breida in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the […]

Marlon Mack Not Seen At Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday. It doesn't mean that Mack won't play in Week 3 at home against the Falcons, but it's certainly something to monitor as the week progresses. Indy is tied for second in the NFL in rushing with 185 yards per game after two […]

Tony Pollard Could Get Some Run in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is too risky to start in Week 3 even though he could see a decent number of touches. Taking on the helpless Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys may turn to Pollard for parts of the second half in order to limit starting running back Ezekiel Elliott's snaps. Still, there […]

Ezekiel Elliott Could Be the Top Running Back in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should be one of the top running back options for Week 3 and has No. 1 overall upside. Taking on the tanking Miami Dolphins, Elliott should find plenty of room to run, especially since the Cowboys will likely work on the ground for most of the second half in […]

Week 2 Disaster Recovery: Alvin Kamara

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have sat a player for somebody on your bench. Disaster Recovery is to examine the guys who you didn't think twice about starting, and deciding if you should be panicking at all about […]

Damien Williams Won't Practice, LeSean McCoy Limited

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) won't practice on Wednesday, while the plan is for running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) to get in some limited work. Both running backs should be considered questionable to play in Week 3 against the Ravens right now. If one or both sit out this Sunday, rookie Darwin […]
