Sony Michel Working His Way Back Into The Mix

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (knee) is slowly working his way back into the Patriots offensive fold and remains the unquestioned lead back. Michel did not begin training camp on the field and the Patriots have been cautious to keep his knee healthy. Michel ran for 931 yards in his rookie season with six […]

Mark Ingram Gets First Touches As A Raven

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram carried the ball four times for 18 yards in Thursday night's preseason game against Green Bay. Ingram was given limited work on the field, but his 4.5 yards per carry showed that the veteran still has the power and agility to be a viable backfield option for Baltimore. According […]

Mike Davis Could See Work Against Giants

Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis could see a few more carries than the three he racked up last week when the team takes on the Giants Friday. It still is only the second preseason game and Davis was signed in the offseason to make an impact immediately. Davis will be battling for touches in […]

Saquon Barkley Will Be Offensive Focal Point

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley took the league by storm in his rookie season, rushing for 1,307 yards for 11 touchdowns. But what will add to Barkley's explosive run game in 2019 will be his ability to catch the football as well. Over the last several days in training camp, Barkley has been […]

David Johnson Doesn't Do Much In Preseason Game

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had only six rushing yards on four attempts in the preseason game against the Raiders on Thursday night. It's nothing to sneeze at, but remember it's just the preseason. Johnson had 1,239 yards rushing, 879 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns in 2016, but he's been a disappointment since and […]

Bills Offensive Line Remains Top Concern of Preseason

Entering their second preseason game against Carolina on Friday night, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is still experimenting with different groupings of offensive linemen and would not commit to naming a starting five yet, saying only that it was narrowed down to around seven players. With potential breakout running back Devin Singletary, an ancient […]

Alfred Blue Injured Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Alfred Blue (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the preseason game against the Eagles on Thursday night. Blue had five yards on four carries in the game before departing. It's unclear how serious the former Texan's injury is, so stay tuned for more details. If healthy this year, Blue should help […]

Devin Singletary Looks to Impress Again

Devin Singletary is not a household name - not that any Bill ever could be - but Buffalo's third-round pick has all the makings of a fantasy breakout heading into 2019 and had a good first preseason performance, carrying the ball nine times for 27 yards against the Colts last week. Singletary is currently behind […]

Preparing for the Worst: Melvin Gordon/Ezekiel Elliott Holdouts

Holdouts are not new to the NFL. We're fresh off one of the most talked-about ones in last season's Le'Veon Bell skipping the year while with the Steelers. Everybody hoped Bell would eventually make it back to the field. Preseason went by. First week. Second, third, etc. Until there was a point of no return, […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC North

My wife and I have started to watch Hard Knocks again, as is tradition along with writing these columns and bickering with my fantasy football league about rule changes that we don't need as much as would like to spar about for no reason other than we're all in our late 20's now and act […]

Trayveon Williams Injured Again

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams suffered a foot injury during Thursday's win over the Washington Redskins. The rookie has been unable to remain injury-free this preseason as he suffered a rib injury during last Saturday's encounter with the Kansas City Chiefs. With running back Jordan Ellis performing at a high-level throughout the first two […]

Dexter Williams Limited Against The Ravens

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams was given a limited workload in a loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Williams finished with five yards on the floor from three attempts and caught one of his two targets for four yards. Williams has impressed in camp and looks to be the team's third option behind Aaron […]

Tra Carson Continues To Struggle

Green Bay Packers Tra Carson continues to struggle to make an impact on the field. In the Packers game against the Baltimore Ravens, he was limited to just nine yards on the ground from six attempts and caught his single target for seven yards. Carson is buried on the depth chart and looks more likely […]

Jordan Ellis Involved Again

Cincinnati Bengals running back Jordan Ellis was heavily involved during the team's 23-13 preseason win over the Washington Redskins. After scoring a touchdown against the Chiefs on Saturday, the rookie was effective yet again, rushing for 52 yards on 15 carries in addition to five receptions on six targets for 19 yards. With running back […]

Miles Sanders Gets Five Carries on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders ran the ball five times on Thursday, gaining 31 yards. Sanders looked great and has drawn rave practice reviews as well, with some beat reporters going as far as calling him the clear RB1 in Philly. Jordan Howard is still around and Corey Clement will likely work most […]

Boston Scott Leads the Eagles Backfield on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott led the backfield in carries, yards, and touchdowns on Thursday. He ran the ball seven times, gaining 43 yards and scoring a touchdown. Scott is a possibility for the last running back spot in Philly, but he still has a few weeks to prove that he deserves a 53-man […]

Josh Jacobs Tallies 21 Yards In Preseason Debut

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a terrific showing in his debut game of the preseason Thursday versus the Cardinals. He carried the ball four times on the opening drive of the game, tallying 21 yards before taking a seat for the remainder of the contest. Jacobs proved why he was the first RB […]

Alfred Blue Struggles Against Eagles

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Alfred Blue had five yards on four carries in Thursday's preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. For a little while, it looked like Blue could wind up as the main backup to Leonard Fournette, but it's looking more and more like that job belongs to rookie Ryquell Armstead. Blue doesn't appear […]

Rams Starters To Skip Hawaii Game

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley are among roughly 20 starters who will be left behind for this week's preseason game against the Cowboys in Hawaii. Defensive tackle Aaron Donald and cornerback Marcus Peters are the only starters expected to make the trip, although they will not play on Saturday. […]

Kerryon Johnson Has Chip On His Shoulder

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson admits that he's heading into his second year with a chip on his shoulder. Johnson ran for 641 yards in his rookie year before a sprained knee cost him the last six games. Fantasy owners may be overlooking the Auburn product because he finished last year injured, but he […]

Devin Singletary (RB, BUF) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

With the 11th pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select Devin Singletary from Florida Atlantic University.

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been getting particular attention in practice so far for his receiving skills.

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer told reporters afterwards […]

Damien Harris Dealing With Wrist Injury

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris certainly wants to make an impression as a rookie.

Now reports indicate that Harris is dealing with […]

Tarik Cohen Quietly Going About His Business

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen is not expected to play Friday when the team takes on the Giants in their second preseason game. The dynamic play-maker is not expected to see the field until the season opener September 5 and has flown under the radar thus far in camp. Cohen is hard to handicap […]

David Montgomery Could See Snaps Friday

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery could see more snaps Friday against the Giants in the Bears second preseason game. Montgomery flashed what makes him so tantalizing as a fantasy prospect, totaling 46 yards from scrimmage with a touchdown in limited playing time in the Bears first preseason game. Coach Matt Nagy is building a […]
