New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that running back Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) is expected to return to practice on Saturday after sitting out practices this week and undergoing an MRI exam for a shoulder issue. Gase said Bell's shoulder problem was a result in being too aggressive in practice. The star running back […]

Joe Mixon Practicing Friday
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is practicing on Friday. It gives Mixon owners hope that he'll be able to play through his sprained ankle in Week 2 against the 49ers, but even if he does he might be limited and could cede touches to backup Giovani Bernard. Mixon could be a game-time decision […]

Leonard Fournette's Volume Makes Him A Strong Play
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette showed in Week 1 that he basically is the Jaguars running game, getting all but one of the running back carries. That remains the story heading into a Week 2 meeting with the Texans. Houston's front seven should be solid, but Fournette's volume makes him a low-end RB1 candidate […]

Duke Johnson Is Flex Option Against Jaguars
Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson lost a few more touches to Carlos Hyde than fantasy owners would have liked in Week 1, but Johnson still has appeal as a flex option for Houston's Week 2 meeting with the Jaguars. Jacksonville gave up the 10th-most fantasy points to the running back position in Week 1, […]

Ito Smith Not Start-Worthy In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith led the team in rushing in Week 1 with 31 rushing yards on six attempts. He was far more effective than lead running back Devonta Freeman and only saw two fewer carries. While Smith could certainly end up in a time-share with Freeman sooner rather than later, it's a […]

Gang Green ER: Are the Jets a Fantasy Wasteland Now?
Yesterday was a tough day for New York Jets fans. Actually, it's not been a good week overall, even less if we account for what happened on Sunday when the team fell to Buffalo to start the season on the losing column. The past few days have brought news of multiple injuries and problems to […]

Devonta Freeman Worthy Of Starting In Week 2
Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had a game to forget in Week 1, when he gained just 19 yards on eight carries against the Vikings. This week, the Falcons face the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles have a strong rush defense and they held the Redskins to just 2.2 yards […]

Frank Gore Not An Appealing Option In Week 2
Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore had a dreadful opening week to the season, but he still saw a heavy workload and that might not change in Week 2. Gore had 11 carries in Week 1 and was only able to muster 20 yards on the day. Bills head coach Sean McDermott has been insistent […]

Devin Singletary A Potential Flex Play For Week 2
Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary certainly flashed his big-play potential in his NFL debut in Week 1, gaining 70 rushing yards on just four carries while adding 28 receiving yards as well. While head coach Sean McDermott has been adamant this week that Frank Gore is still the team's starting running back, Singletary still […]

Ronald Jones II Disappoints In Week 2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had just nine yards on four carries during the win over the Panthers on Thursday night. After an efficient Week 1 performance against the 49ers on Sunday, Jones fizzled out against Carolina despite rumblings of an expanded role moving forward. Nonetheless, the situation in the Bucs' backfield […]

Christian McCaffrey Cools Off Against Bucs
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey fizzled out against the Bucs on Thursday night, rushing for just 37 yards on 16 carries while catching only two balls for 16 yards. After a strong showing in Week 1 against the Rams that catapulted the 23-year-old to the top of fantasy scoring columns, it was a disappointing […]

Dion Lewis A Sneaky Play In Week 2
Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis saw only six total touches compared to 20 for Derrick Henry in Week 1, but Week 2 presents a very favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Lewis will be deployed primarily as a change-of-pace and receiving back for the Titans against the Colts, who just gave up 10 receptions […]

Derrick Henry A High-End RB2 In Week 2
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is once again a solid RB2 option heading into the Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Coming off of a game where he totaled 159 yards and two touchdowns, Henry gets a Colts Defense that just allowed the second most fantasy points to running backs in Week 1. […]

Chris Thompson A Flex Consideration For Week 2
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson figures to see a lot of action in his Week 2 matchup with the Cowboys. Washington is a home underdog in a divisional matchup, which tells us a lot about how the Redskins are viewed even after almost stealing one from the Eagles to start the season. If the […]

Julie'n Davenport Could Go On IR
The Miami Dolphins are considering placing offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee) on the Injured Reserve. However, there's still a chance that Davenport could come back this year if he goes on IR. It would just be more bad news for an offensive line that already traded their best talent, Laremy Tunsil, to the Texans. Miami's […]

Dalvin Cook An RB1 Play In Week 2
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook looked great in Week 1, rushing 21 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in a dominant 28-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He added two receptions for nine yards. Cook finished RB5 in half-PPR leagues, showing off elite explosiveness and vision in the Vikings new zone-blocking scheme. He's […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Practice In Full
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) and running back James Conner (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Both players should be all systems go for Week 2 against the Seahawks at home. The Steelers will be looking to put the bad taste of the blowout Week 1 […]

Le'Veon Bell Gets Good News From MRI
New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell's (shoulder) MRI exam showed no major damage or tears, according to a source. The Jets are being extra careful with Bell's status after he sat out all of last season. As of now, we'd expect Bell to play on Monday night against the Browns, but with quarterback Sam […]

Jamaal Williams Has Little Fantasy Value This Week
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has little fantasy value this week. In the opening matchup against the Chicago Bears, the running game struggled to get moving. Furthermore, Williams was out-snapped and out-touched by Aaron Jones. Williams seemed to get more usage when the team picked up the tempo with their no-huddle offense. However, […]

Aaron Jones A Borderline RB2 This Week
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is a borderline RB2 this week, with the matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The team gave Jones more touches last week, but when the team was in no-huddle they seemed to opt for Jamaal Williams out on the field. The Packers are currently the favored team, but the […]

Ty Montgomery Set For Increased Workload
New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery should see more touches in Week 2 with starter Le'Veon Bell (shoulder) questionable for the game. Montgomery was a non-factor last week against the Bills gaining only four yards on two carries and not recording a target. He should see his workload go up this week regardless, but […]

Devin Singletary To Remain No. 2 Running Back For Bills
Despite a strong showing in his NFL debut, Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary will remain second on the running back depth chart behind starter Frank Gore. Head coach Sean McDermott voiced his decision to remain with Gore as the starter in interviews this week. The decision isn't a shocking one, but it's unfortunate to […]

Tarik Cohen Will Be X-Factor Against Broncos
Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught eight passes for 49 yards in the Bears loss to the Packers in Week 1. Most of those catches came in the fourth quarter as the entire offense struggled and quarterback Mitch Trubisky failed to find open receivers. The Bears passed the ball 45 times compared to only […]

David Montgomery Ready For Expanded Role
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery is hoping to see more than seven touches when the team travels to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 2. Montgomery saw only six carries out of the backfield in the first half and then disappeared from the game plan. The Bears offense ran the ball only […]

Mike Davis Has Low-End RB3 Week 2 Value
Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis will be looking to get more involved in the offense when the team takes on the Broncos in Week 2. Davis totaled only 36 yards from scrimmage in the team's Week 1 loss as the offense completely ditched the running game. Davis was on the field for the opening […]

Mark Ingram, Marquise Brown On Injury Report
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (shoulder) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (hip) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 2 against the Cardinals. Both players had big Week 1 performances, with Ingram running for 107 yards and two touchdowns and Brown posting 147 receiving yards and two […]

Matt Breida Stepping Into Lead Role
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida should see the bulk of work in Week 2 in Tevin Coleman’s (ankle) absence. Breida handled 15 touches for a meager 37 yards in Week 1 but the entire offense logged a sluggish performance. Without Coleman, Breida should lead the Niners backfield against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the […]

Joe Mixon Not Practicing Thursday
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday. Mixon hasn't practiced yet this week and is beginning to look doubtful to play in Week 2 against the 49ers. His practice status on Friday will ultimately tell the story. If he cannot go, Giovani Bernard will step in as the lead back […]
