Austin Ekeler Questionable Against Ravens

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (groin) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for the wild-card game against the Ravens on Sunday.

Melvin Gordon Practicing In Full, Austin Ekeler Limited

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (ankle) is practicing in full on Wednesday, while backup Austin Ekeler (groin) was limited. Ekeler is dealing with a new injury after returning in Week 17, but both backs should be ready to go for the wild-card game against the Ravens on Sunday. Gordon hasn't looked like himself […]

Tarik Cohen Has Sleeper Value Against Eagles

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen has been quiet over the last month but will be an X-factor against an Eagles defense that allowed the 12th fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. But the Eagles run defense can be burned and has allowed 11 total touchdowns (seven rushing, four passing) to running backs over […]

Jordan Howard Looks To Ride Hot Streak Against Eagles

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard will look to continue his strong finish to the regular season when the Bears take on the Eagles in the Wild Card Round this Sunday. Over his last five games, Howard is averaging 79.8 yards per game with four touchdowns. He will go up against an Eagles run defense […]

Lions, Jim Bob Cooter Part Ways

Cooter wasn't […]

Kerryon Johnson Says His Knee Is Fine

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) was conservatively shut down before the regular season ended, but he said his knee is in good shape on Monday and said he probably would've been able to play in the playoffs. Prior to Johnson's injury on Nov. 18, he was trending toward a 1,000-yard season but […]

Todd Gurley Expected To Play In Divisional Round

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that he expects running back Todd Gurley (knee) to play in the divisional round on Jan. 12. “I think it’s been making good progress. He’s feeling good,” McVay told reporters. “He came in today and everything was positive with what we’re getting from [senior director of sports […]

Gus Edwards Rolls Up 76 Yards On 12 Carries

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards had a solid game despite sharing carries with Kenneth Dixon as he tallied 76 yards on 12 carries in Sunday's victory over the Browns. It was the seventh straight week that the undrafted rookie garnered double-digit carries and he has totaled at least 67 yards on the ground in […]

Cardinals Fire Byron Leftwich, Al Holcomb

The Arizona Cardinals fired interim offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and defensive coordinator Al Holcomb on Monday, according to a source. Leftwich took over midseason after the team fired Mike McCoy, and the Cardinals finished dead last in yards per game (241.6), dead last in passing yards per game (157.7), dead last in rushing yards per […]

Kenneth Dixon Explodes For 117 Yards On The Ground

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon produced a career-high 117 yards on 12 carries while adding two more yards on one reception in Sunday's victory over the Browns.

Jeremy Langford Rushes For 25 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Jeremy Langford had just 25 yards rushing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Langford filled the role of third running back for the Falcons and will be pleased to have received nine carries. However, a rushing average of less than three yards per carry is unlikely to have convinced […]

Brian Hill Comes Back To Earth In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had a back to earth performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Hill had another eight carries but managed just 30 rushing yards, with another nine yards coming in the receiving game. Hill looked impressive at times but is unlikely to have done enough to mean he […]

Tevin Coleman Has Limited Week 17 Opportunities

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had limited opportunities against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Coleman carried the ball just eight times for 45 yards with a longest rush of 23 yards. Coleman did manage to add nine yards receiving on one target, but all in all he had less than 10 touches […]

LeSean McCoy To Return In 2019

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that running back LeSean McCoy is in the team's plans for 2019, the final year of his contract. 2018 was the worst season of McCoy's career, as he rushed for just 514 yards (3.2 yards per carry) and three touchdowns on 161 attempts. He also had 34 catches […]

Dan Quinn, Falcons Overhaul Coaching Staff

The Atlanta Falcons fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coach Keith Armstrong on Monday, according to sources. The Falcons were a huge disappointment on both sides of the ball in 2018. The issues on defense were mainly due to key injuries early in the season. The offense underachieved under […]

Steve Wilks Is One And Done In Arizona

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks told his staff on Monday that he will no longer be the head coach moving forward, according to sources. Wilks only got one season in the desert, but he did supply the organization with the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft after going 3-13 in 2018. To […]

Adam Gase Gets The Boot In Miami

The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Adam Gase after three seasons on Monday, according to a source.

Gase didn't help his cause in the 42-17 Week 17 loss to the Bills. […]

Broncos Fire Vance Joseph

The Denver Broncos fired head coach Vance Joseph on Monday after their first back-to-back losing seasons since the early-70s, according to a source. Joseph spent only two years with Denver despite signing a four-year deal in 2017, and the Broncos went 5-11 in his first year and 6-10 in 2018. The Broncos were competitive against […]

Marvin Lewis Out In Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bengals have parted ways with head coach Marvin Lewis on Monday. Lewis had one season remaining on an extension that he signed last year, but the decision to part ways was mutual. The 60-year-old was the second longest tenured coach in the NFL behind Bill Belichick. Lewis had coached the Bengals for 16 […]

Doug Martin Has Strong Game To Close Out The Season

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to turn in a positive performance one final time in their loss against the Chiefs. Martin ended with 100 yards on 21 carries, giving him over 100 yards in his final two games. There was a bit of skepticism surrounding the signing of Martin in the offseason, […]

Melvin Gordon, Hunter Henry Expected To Face Ravens
