Kenyan Drake Continues To See Limited Touches

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake continues to lose touches to running back Frank Gore. Drake was out-touched by Gore 21-7 in Week 9 and unfortunately there is no indication that Drake will see more touches. Drake has proven to be effective with his limited touches but anything under 10 leaves him nearly irrelevant in […]

Saquon Barkley Will Resume Bell-Cow Status Against 49ers

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is fresh off of a bye week and will look to keep his fantastic rookie season going against the 49ers on Monday night. Through eight games this season, Barkley is averaging 4.7 yards per carry with 58 receptions, seven touchdowns and 1,016 yards from scrimmage. Barkley has been […]

Robert Turbin Back To Full Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Turbin hasn't played since Oct. 14 but seems primed to be available in Week 10 against the Jaguars. Still, he's fourth on the depth chart behind Marlon Mack and rookies Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins when […]

Mark Ingram Lacks The Touches To Trust In Week 10

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram will be tough to trust in fantasy lineups despite a favorable matchup in Week 10. Ingram and Co. will go up against a Bengals defense that is allowing the sixth most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. But Ingram's touches have been capped at about 10-15 […]

Alvin Kamara Primed For Big Game Against Bengals

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is in line for another dominant fantasy performance in Week 10 when the team travels to take on the Bengals. Kamara has 917 yards from scrimmage this season, averaging 4.4 yards per carry with 51 receptions and 12 touchdowns. Kamara will go up against a Bengals defense that […]

Kelvin Benjamin, Chris Ivory Practicing

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (knee) took part in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) was limited on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Both players should be able to play this Sunday against the Jets. With Buffalo's quarterback still undecided for this weekend, Benjamin […]

Kareem Hunt is Excellent Option in Week 10

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt should have a productive game against the Cardinals in Week 10. Hunt has been on fire the last month and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. He's heading into a matchup against the Cardinals that are second worst in rushing yards allowed per game and rushing touchdowns […]

Chris Thompson Remains Absent

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Thompson appears poised to miss his second straight game. He just hasn't been healthy this year and has been a non-factor in the team's putrid passing attack in 2018. Kapri Bibbs should once again fill in as […]

Rex Burkhead Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (neck) returned to practice on Thursday and is now eligible to come off the Injured Reserve and play on Dec. 2 against the Vikings. That would be in Week 13, a week before the traditional fantasy playoffs begin. While it's unclear if Burkhead will actually be back by […]

Darren Sproles Aggravates Hamstring

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring), who was expected to return in Week 10 against the Cowboys after being sidelined since the season opener, aggravated his hamstring in practice and is now expected to be out this weekend, according to sources. The 35-year-old just hasn't been able to stay healthy the last two years […]

Chase Edmonds Has Minimal Value In Week 10

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has had almost no involvement over the last few weeks. Expect more of the same against the Chiefs for the young running back. Edmonds should not be rostered heading into Week 10.

David Johnson Has Upside In Week 10

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson will likely be the main offensive option against the Chiefs in Week 10. Johnson should take on a workhorse role against a vulnerable Chiefs defense, giving him upside in a tough week for running backs. If Johnson is able to score a touchdown, he has low-end RB1 upside for […]

Volume Is Too Low To Count On Jamaal Williams

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has seen his role increasingly shrink as the year has gone on. He started the season as Green Bay’s unquestioned starting running back but has ceded most of his touches to running back Aaron Jones. He did see a small uptick in usage last week after the departure […]

Aaron Jones Faces Favorable Matchup In Week 10

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will be going up against a weak Miami Dolphins run defense in Week 10. A dynamic runner who is averaging 6.4 yards per carry, Jones recently established himself as the primary ball carrier in Green Bay. While he will split some carries and snaps with fellow running back […]

Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?

I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of […]

Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you missed out on getting my favorite backup of Spencer Ware this week, don’t be too disappointed. Giovani Bernard has returned to practice and will likely return to action in Week 10 as the Bengals take on the Saints. Unfortunately for Bengals fans […]

Spencer Ware (RB, KC) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the time of the year where the waiver wire can really make a difference for your fantasy football teams. With the playoffs just around the corner, it’s time to start anticipating potential teams who may be either sitting their starters or locking […]

Picking From the Fringe - Waiver Targets for a Playoff Push

With the fantasy football regular season coming down to the wire, there are those players who are established in the playoffs and those who are already out of contention. For the rest of us, there are moves to be made and waiver acquisitions to be made to keep our playoff hopes alive. Making the correct […]

Buy or Sell? Week 10 Trade Advice

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Todd Gurley Looking To Continue Record Pace

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has 12 touchdowns through nine games this season. The MVP runner-up from last season is looking to right that ship this season, and he has another good matchup this week to build his case. Last time out against the Seattle Seahawks, Gurley was extremely efficient with three touchdowns […]

Nyheim Hines A Long Shot To Bounce Back In Week 10

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a strong start to the season thanks to his pass-catching ability. However, since the return of fellow running back Marlon Mack, Hines has fallen by the wayside in the Colts backfield. While he ran well against the Oakland Raiders, that was mostly garbage-time production to spell Mack down […]

Marlon Mack Looks To Build On Recent Success

Since returning from injury, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has been very effective. Over his last three games, he's averaging 6.4 yards per carry, and he's shown a nose for the end zone over the past couple of weeks. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he has the opportunity to keep that going. The Jaguars rank […]

Ty Montgomery Hopes To Ignite Ravens Running Game

Baltimore Ravens running back Ty Montgomery hopes that he is able to ignite the Ravens running game when he makes his debut against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Montgomery was deactivated for last week's loss to the Steelers, as he was acquired at the trade deadline mid-week. The 25-year-old back is an explosive runner who […]

Doug Martin Finds Himself On Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (hip) is on the injury report for Week 10 and got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Martin was dinged up last Thursday but played the entire game and should be good to go in Week 10 against the Chargers. The 29-year-old has seen double-digit carries in the two […]

Theo Riddick Has Flex Appeal In Week 10

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick returned from a two-game absence in Week 9 to post seven receptions on eight targets for 36 yards. In his absence, rookie Kerryon Johnson took on the team's pass-catching back role but it's clear that role is back to being Riddick's. Last week, the 27-year-old played his most snaps […]

LeGarrette Blount Not An Option In Week 10

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Blount is also coming off of his third lowest carry (five carries) total of the season in last week's loss to the Vikings. Now throw in a road matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 10 and you have yourself a […]

Kerryon Johnson A Risky Option Against Bears

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. This comes after the rookie hasn't topped 37 yards in either of the last two games against the Seahawks and Vikings. Things don't get any better in Week 10 as the Lions face the Bears, who allow the fewest fantasy points […]

Sony Michel Has Tough Test If He Is Active In Week 10

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (knee) was on the practice field Wednesday in hopes of returning to the lineup in Week 10 after missing two games. Before the injury, the rookie had enjoyed a three-game stretch where he posted 316 rushing yards and four touchdowns. His status will have to be monitored throughout […]

Derek Anderson, Chris Ivory, Charles Clay Not Practicing

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion), running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) and tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) are not practicing on Wednesday. Anderson remains in the concussion protocol but will get the start against the Jets if he is cleared later this week as long as rookie Josh Allen (elbow) isn't given the go-ahead to […]

Ryan Grant, Robert Turbin On Track To Return

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle) and running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. It looks like the bye week treated them well and they appear to be on track to play in Week 10 against the Jaguars. Grant hasn't played since Oct. 14 and will likely be behind […]
