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

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~160 Buffalo's backfield is a mess. LeSean McCoy. Frank Gore. T.J. Yeldon. Devin Singletary.

Jaylen Samuels (RB, PIT) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~140 This is probably the most obvious name on the list of handcuffs with standalone value. James Conner is a top pick in fantasy leagues.

Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall Current ADP: ~240 Too many fantasy players are overlooking or forgetting about free-agent acquisition Mike Davis.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Former Vikings back Latavius Murray has taken Mark Ingram's role in what was the NFL's best running back committee over the past two years, when the Ingram and Alvin Kamara duo was an incredibly lethal duo in real life and fantasy.

Carlos Hyde (RB, KC) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~130 What are we to expect from Damien Williams in his first full season taking over from Kareem Hunt? Who Knows.

Austin Ekeler Shows Off His Ups

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler suddenly finds himself staring down the barrel of a starting job while Melvin Gordon holds out, and it seems like he's ready to take on the challenge.

Justin Jackson Showing Off His Hands

Melvin Gordon Requested Trade

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has requested a trade, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson. Whether or not Gordon gets traded is still a mystery, and the team has reportedly not granted him permission to speak to other teams and gauge the trade market.

Dexter Williams Leads Running Backs In Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams led a depleted running back group through individual drills.

Aaron Jones Sits Out Practice With Hamstring Injury

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had to sit out Packers practice today, with tightness in his hamstring. Early reports have suggested that the sit-out was precautionary, but fantasy owners should continue to monitor the situation.

Saquon Barkley Set For New Heights With Restructured Offensive Line

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen has enjoyed an eventful training camp thus far.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suggested running back Jerick McKinnon (knee) could be activated from the PUP on Thursday.
