Carlos Hyde Set To See Time In Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde heads into Week 13 with the highest upside he has had for fantasy owners since arriving in Jacksonville earlier in the season. Leonard Fournette is suspended, Blake Bortles is benched and Hyde is second in line in a backfield that is going to highlight the offensive scheme in Week […]

TJ Yeldon Looks To Be Cornerstone Of Jaguars Offense In Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars running back TJ Yeldon expects to be the RB1 in Jacksonville in Week 13, as Leonard Fournette is suspended for the game. With quarterback Blake Bortles and Fournette on the bench, Yeldon figures to be featured in Jacksonville's offensive attack against the Indianapolis Colts. Yeldon also sees high value due to his effectiveness […]

C.J. Prosise An Injured Reserve Candidate

Seattle Seahawks head coach Peter Carroll said running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen, groin) has been dealing with his injury for a while, and there is no timetable for his return. He is currently week-to-week and could be a candidate for Injured Reserve if the team needs a roster spot. Prosise has just one carry for […]

Chiefs Releasing Kareem Hunt

Updating an ongoing story, the Kansas City Chiefs are releasing running back Kareem Hunt on Friday after he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list. A video surfaced on Friday that showed Hunt kicking and shoving a woman in a Cleveland hotel from an incident in February of this year. He's likely facing a six-game […]

Kareem Hunt Placed On Exempt List

The NFL placed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt on paid administrative leave on Friday after a video surfaced that shows Hunt pushing and kicking a woman inside a Cleveland hotel from February. He was officially placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Hunt will not be allowed to practice with the team or attend […]

Peyton Barber Belongs on the Bench Against Panthers

The Panthers boast a top-10 rush defense and prove to be troublesome for Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber. Barber has taken advantage of some great matchups in recent weeks like San Francisco and the Giants but will have his hands full at the line of scrimmage this weekend. Barber is a touchdown-dependent RB3 and should […]

Kareem Hunt Sent Home Friday

The Kansas City Chiefs sent running back Kareem Hunt home from the practice facility on Friday upon learning of the release of the video that shows Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a hotel from earlier this year. The most likely short-term resolution is for Hunt to be placed on the commissioner's exempt list, […]

Dalvin Cook An RB2 For Week 13

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has had over 100 all-purpose yards in two of his past three games. He has become an explosive weapon in the passing game since returning from injury in Week 9. Cook will face the New England Patriots in Week 13, who are giving up 107.7 rushing yards per game. […]

Jalen Richard Set For Large Role In The Offense This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard brings strong PPR value in this Sunday's game against the Chiefs. We should be seeing the Raiders playing from behind, as they are 15-point home underdogs, which would put Richard in a spot to continue his pass-catching role in the offense. Richard has posted four or more receptions in […]

Doug Martin Has Favorable Opponent, Bad Game Script

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is coming off a week where he scored his first touchdown of the season, but likely won't be in a spot for massive production this weekend. He is up against the Chiefs who are 32nd (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) versus the rush, which sets him up, in theory, for […]

Kerryon Johnson Out, Michael Roberts Doubtful

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) is out for Week 13 against the Rams, while tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) is listed as doubtful despite being limited in practice all week. Receiver Brandon Powell (calf) has also been ruled out. The Lions are running out of offensive weapons with Marvin Jones also out […]

Darren Sproles Expects To Play Monday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) expects to play on Monday night against the Redskins. Sproles hasn't played since being injured in the season opener, but it looks like the Eagles will have him available in Week 13. Rookie Josh Adams has taken over lead-back duties, but Sproles could see some action in passing […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Conference Championship Week Edition)

If you're a fan of chaos, Rivalry Week may have fallen a little short with only one significant upset, but with four top ten teams suffering a loss, the college football rankings have been changed in a big way. The final pieces to the puzzle to decide the teams in the College Football Playoff will […]

Kareem Hunt Might Not Play In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt can't play in Week 13 against the Raiders after a video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel in February of this year. It's unknown when Hunt will be allowed to play and for how long the NFL plans to suspend him. This […]

Kareem Hunt In Hot Water

Video footage has surfaced of Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel from Feb. 10 of this year. Police reports were created for the incident, but no charges were filed. The Chiefs have yet to release a statement on Hunt. This surely does not look good […]

Rashaad Penny To Have Bigger Role This Week?

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer hinted that rookie running back Rashaad Penny would have a bigger role in the offense in Week 13 against the 49ers. Penny was used frequently in Weeks 10 and 11 with Chris Carson banged up, but he carried the ball just four times for four yards and played only […]

Chris Thompson Could Produce In Return To Action

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson is set to return to the field Monday night after missing extended time with a rib injury. If indeed his unbridled participation in practice this week yields a full comeback, he could be in line to produce right out of the gate. The Eagles have allowed the fourth-most receptions […]

Adrian Peterson Could Rumble On Monday Night

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has rushed for just 171 yards combined in his last four games after totaling 345 such yards in the previous three. Not surprisingly, the Redskins have lost three of their last four contests with the focal point of their offense having been held in check. Monday night presents Peterson […]

Questionable Tags For Gus Edwards, Alex Collins

Baltimore Ravens running backs Gus Edwards (ankle) and Alex Collins (foot) both practiced in full on Friday but are questionable for Week 13 against the Falcons. Both players are on track to play this Sunday. Edwards has basically taken over lead-back duties after rushing for over 100 yards in back-to-back games. He has RB2 upside […]

Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry Both Risky Flex Options

Tennessee Titans running backs Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry have been uninspiring lately, combining for just 34 carries and 108 yards over the last two contests. They have both seen an equal share of those carries, although Lewis has seen more work in the passing game. It appears that this backfield has shifted away from […]

Marlon Mack Questionable Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (concussion) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Jaguars and has one more step to go to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol. He'll need clearance from an independent neurologist. The good news is he practiced in full on Thursday, and we expect him to suit […]

Worrying About James Conner? Possible Pivot Plays

James Conner is having a great season by any metric you want to use. Not just a great season for a backup running back who unexpectedly inherited a starting role, but a great season even in comparison to the player he has replaced this season in Pittsburgh, Le'Veon Bell. The concern here is not how […]

Ronald Jones II, Lavonte David Will Dress Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (knee) will both be active in Week 13 against the Panthers. It doesn't mean either player will play significant snaps, but it's good news for both. Jones has been an utter disappointment in his rookie […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 13

Week 12 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. A couple of rookies in Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield cracked the top five at the quarterback position, which was headline by Deshaun Watson's 29.4 points. Christian McCaffrey exploded for 46.7 […]

Ito Smith To Be Avoided In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith does not offer enough upside to be a usable fantasy option in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. On the road this season the Ravens are surrendering just 5.9 fantasy points to #2 running backs. Even if Smith was to find himself getting starters touches those running backs have […]

Tevin Coleman A Tough Player To Trust Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman is unlikely to break his run of inconsistency when he faces the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The Ravens are surrendering an average of just 10.8 fantasy points per game to opposing #1 running backs when playing on the road this season. In addition, Coleman is having to deal with […]

Ezekiel Elliott Gets 29 Touches on Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was the focal point of the Dallas offense once again on Thursday, running the ball 23 times for 76 yards and making six catches for 60 yards and a touchdown. Elliott couldn't get too much going on the ground against the strong run defense of the Saints, but the […]

Red Zone Usage - Risers and Fallers for Week 13

It's time to prepare for the playoff stretch and make a run. We all want to know who has the best path to score on Sunday to help give us valuable fantasy points. RotoBaller's Premium Red Zone tool can give you a sense of who is being utilized more in the all-important area of the […]

Alvin Kamara Bottled Up By Cowboys

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball 11 times for 36 yards in the Saints loss to the Cowboys in Week 13. Kamara saw 11 targets in the game, catching eight passes for only 36 yards. His 72 yards from scrimmage is certainly disappointing for a player who has eclipsed 100-plus all-purpose […]

Mark Ingram Musters Only 27 Rushing Yards In Loss

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram managed only 27 yards on seven carries in the Saints stunning 13-10 loss to the Cowboys. The Dallas defense smothered the Saints offense the entire game as the team mustered only 176 total yards on offense. This performance by the Saints, and by extension Ingram, is certainly an […]
