Mark Ingram Owners Need To Have Gus Edwards
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards played more snaps (38.16%) than starter Mark Ingram (32.89%) in Week 1, but Ingram is the clear starter in the Ravens backfield. Last week, Edwards saw an increase in playing time because Ingram's shoulder was banged up and the Ravens had a large lead over the Miami Dolphins. Edwards […]

Nyheim Hines' Stock Is Falling
In Week 1, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines caught all four of his targets for just four yards. He also added four carries for 13 yards. In Week 2, he's nothing more than a dart throw in very deep leagues. During his rookie season, Hines' value came from his volume in the passing game […]

T.J. Yeldon Should Remain On Waivers
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon only played two offensive snaps in the Bills' opening game against the Jets in Week 1 and there's little reason to believe that will change much in Week 2. He's the clear third-string running back in a rushing offense that's yet to get going. Veteran Frank Gore is the […]

Justice Hill Could Have Trouble In Week 2
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was limited to 27 rushing yards and no touchdowns on seven carries in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens gave the ball to all three backfield options in the opening drive against Miami and it's clear they will be looking to utilize all three as the season […]

Mark Ingram A Full Participant in Friday's Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday despite being listed as questionable for Week 2. Expect Ingram to lead the backfield in touches against a Cardinals Defense that allowed the most rushing yards in the league in 2018 (2,479). The Cardinals only gave up 116 rushing yards […]

Rex Burkhead Could Steal Touches In Week 2 Backfield
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead will try and replicate a productive Week 1 performance this Sunday against the Dolphins. Burkhead led the Patriots with 44 rushing yards and added five catches for 41 yards. He will go up against a Dolphins Defense in Week 2 that allowed a combined 34.9 fantasy points to […]

Le'Veon Bell Limited In Practice Saturday
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is officially questionable for the game Monday night against the Browns. The fact Bell was on the practice field is a good sign for his status Monday and Bell himself said on Twitter that he would be ok to […]

James White Has PPR Value Against Miami
New England Patriots running back James White will go up against a Dolphins Defense that allowed a combined 34.9 fantasy points to Ravens running backs in Week 1. White posted a solid effort to start the season, catching five passes for 56 yards and adding 26 rushing yards. White's results against the Dolphins last season […]

Sony Michel Ready To Bounce Back Against Dolphins
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will be looking to bounce back after totaling only 14 yards on 15 carries in the Patriots Week 1 win over the Steelers. Michel was out-shined in the game by a productive effort from Rex Burkhead but few doubt Michel is the most talented runner. The second-year running […]

Giovani Bernard Could Shine In Week 2
Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard will have a big Week 2 if Joe Mixon misses the game because of his ankle injury. Mixon's status will need to be monitored throughout Sunday morning, but if he misses the game, Bernard will be a must-start fantasy running back in leagues of all sizes. Bernard made two […]

Justin Jackson May See More Carries
Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson put up some impressive YPC numbers in Week 1, and it may translate to some more opportunities in Week 2 and beyond. Jackson averaged 9.5 YPC on six chances on Sunday last week, and with the team trying to ensure that they keep their two-headed monster of Jackson […]

Austin Ekeler Will Keep Catching Passes
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler caught six passes for 96 yards last week, and fantasy owners should expect that trend to continue. Detroit allowed six of eight attempted passes to be completed to running backs last week, and LA's loss of Hunter Henry will further push them towards using the short pass game […]

Kalen Ballage Is a Shaky Play In Week 2
Seeing he had a 113 average draft position in NFBC, more than a few people thought Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage would not only be a viable fantasy play in 2019, but that he might also be a threat to steal the starter's job from incumbent Kenyan Drake. But it was a committee approach […]

Dontrell Hilliard Ruled Out
Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night against the Jets. With Hilliard out, D'Ernest Johnson will be the direct backup to Nick Chubb on Monday, but Johnson won't have any standalone fantasy value. Chubb should see plenty of touches and is a definite […]

James White Making Trip To Miami
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots running back James White is making the trip to Miami and is expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins. There was speculation earlier that White would be missing the game with his wife expecting a child. New England's matchup with the Dolphins Defense this Sunday really […]

Marcus Cannon Not Expected To Play
New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (shoulder) isn't expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins, according to a source. He's listed as questionable on the injury report. Korey Cunningham is the top backup, but he was inactive in the season opener as he gets familiar with the team's system. Losing Cannon would […]

Jalen Richard Could See Increased Workload
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard didn’t see the field much in Week 1, but should find more opportunities in Sunday’s contest versus the Chiefs. With the Raiders likely playing from behind, the offense will be in pass-mode for most of the game. Richard finished the 2018 campaign tied for the team lead with 68 […]

James White Could Miss Week 2
New England Patriots running back James White (personal) may not play in Week 2 against the Dolphins. The veteran back and his wife are currently expecting the arrival of their new child, putting his availability for Sunday in jeopardy as he may not travel with the team. If White isn’t in uniform, expect Rex Burkhead […]

Week 2 DFS Cash Game Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings
Week 1 was a lot of fun. Put quite simply win or lose it is just a great feeling to have football back. However, winning always helps make the return even better, so hopefully, you had some success with your DFS lineups last week. This week we have a monster 13 game main slate as […]

Week 2 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings
Week 1 in the NFL brought a few surprises to fantasy owners, especially those in DFS. Players like Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins were low-owned options but turned out to be tournament winners for some. In a week in which we thought that the upper echelon players in the league would come out ready to […]

Melvin Gordon Plans To Report This Year
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon doesn't think he'll be traded and will continue to hold out to "protect himself," but he will report in 2019, according to a source. "This is not a Le'Veon Bell situation," the source said. "He still wants to be a Charger. But he's got to protect himself." Gordon's […]

Mark Ingram, Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Questionable
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (shoulder), tight end Mark Andrews (foot) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (hip) are all questionable for Week 2 against the Cardinals, but all three are expected to play. It's an excellent fantasy matchup against the Cardinals struggling defense, so fantasy owners are really hoping that all three play. […]

LeSean McCoy is Shaky RB2 for Week 2
Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy looked good during his Week 1 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. McCoy rushed for 81 yards on 10 attempts, but was unable to find the end zone. Damien Williams is going to see plenty of carries in the backfield, so that's going to limit McCoy's ceiling. McCoy has […]

Damien Williams is Low-End RB2 Option
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams remains the starter for the team, but has quickly lost value in KC. Veteran running back LeSean McCoy ended up out rushing Williams 81-26 last week against the Jaguars. Williams was given 13 attempts on the ground, but only managed 26 yards. It appears that McCoy is going […]

Derrius Guice Put On Injured Reserve
The Washington Redskins placed running back Derrius Guice (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Friday, according to a source. Guice had surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his knee on Thursday and will be out for the next six to eight weeks. He has a chance of returning later this season, but he can […]

Le'Veon Bell Good To Go For Week 2
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase confirmed on Friday that running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) is good to go for the Monday night game against the Browns. Gase said Bell's soreness had nothing to do with the fact that Bell played every snap in Week 1. It doesn't sound like Bell will be limited […]

Dolphins Place Julie'n Davenport On Injured Reserve
The Miami Dolphins placed offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee, leg) on Injured Reserve on Friday, but he's a candidate to return later this season. Davenport came over to Miami in the trade that sent Laremy Tunsil to the Texans, and he started at right tackle in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens. It's […]

Nick Chubb a Solid RB1 in Week 2
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb turned in a productive Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, going for 75 rushing yards on 17 carries. It would have been a better outing had he not been vultured by Dontrell Hilliard from the four-yard line. Chubb will be in line for a majority of the carries again […]

Joe Mixon Questionable Against 49ers
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the 49ers. Mixon will likely be a game-time decision, but we'll know early Sunday whether he's playing or not. If you're looking for positives, he returned to practice on Friday. If he's active, he might be on a snap count […]

Dontrell Hilliard Out Again Friday
Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) is out of practice for the second straight day on Friday. It's not looking good for Hilliard playing on Monday night against the Jets, but he still has a little more time to get cleared this weekend. The backup to Nick Chubb vultured a touchdown in Week 1, […]
