Isaiah Crowell Should Be Ready To Play In Week 7

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) is expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Crowell has ended up on the injury report with the same issue over the past few weeks but has still managed to play despite the injury designations. It will still be business as usual, however, as he […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 7)

Another week in the books fantasy football lovers and it’s the same old Tennessee Titans who cannot buy an offensive snap without Marcus Mariota being greeted with a defensive player in his face. As I was typing this he was sacked again. Mariota is only the 12th player in NFL history to take 11 sacks […]

Chris Thompson Likely To Miss Another Game

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (rib, knee) is expected to miss his second straight game on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. With Adrian Peterson (shoulder/ankle) expected to play, expect him to monopolize the backfield with Kapri Bibbs getting a few touches here and there.

Travis Benjamin May See Action In Week 8

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) is a game-time decision in Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans. Though the team always intended to have Benjamin be ready for the overseas affair in London, they will play it safe and keep his status as such until there is no doubt that he is good to […]

Adrian Peterson Likely To Go

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (shoulder, ankle) is expected to play against the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Peterson has popped up the injury report for the same ailments throughout the weeks, and despite practicing sparingly during that time, he has served as the lead back in the Skins' backfield. With fellow running back […]

Chargers Still Optimistic Melvin Gordon Could Play

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring) has a shot to play on Sunday in London. Though he was recently downgraded to questionable, the team is still optimistic that he will be ready to go against the Titans in Week 7. However, if there is any doubt, expect the Bolts to roll with Austin […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 7): NFL DFS Lineups

Entering Week 7 we have to start with bad news. The Atlanta Falcons are playing on Monday Night Football, removing one of the best teams to select DFS options against. In a way, this is perhaps a blessing as they are facing the New York Giants. Therefore, this saves us as a fantasy community from […]

Detrez Newsome Added To Active Roster

Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome was signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday in order to give the team insurance in case Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is unable to play in Week 7 in London against the Titans. This move isn't a good sign for Gordon's status, but fantasy owners […]

Broncos Place Ronald Leary On IR

The Denver Broncos placed left guard Ronald Leary (Achilles) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and signed center Nico Falah off the Jets practice squad in a corresponding move, according to a source. Leary has a torn Achilles and will miss the rest of the season. Max Garcia is expected to replace him on a very […]

Melvin Gordon Questionable For London Game

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is now listed as questionable for the Week 7 game in London against the Titans. Gordon was added to the injury report on Friday but got in a limited practice. Luckily for fantasy owners, the London game will kick off early Sunday morning, so owners will know […]

Carlos Hyde Traded To Jaguars - Instant Reaction

With the news Friday that Carlos Hyde was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Jacksonville Jaguars, there are two questions which need to be answered. The first question: what does LeBron James think about it? Ok, actually the first question is, what does this mean for the remaining running backs in Cleveland? The second […]

LeSean McCoy In For A Big Workload Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy should be in for a big workload on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. With quarterback Josh Allen out this week, the Bills should resort to a heavy dose of the run. In the past two weeks McCoy has gotten 24 and 16 carries respectively. It wouldn’t be that bold […]

Red Zone Risers - Identifying Higher Fantasy Scoring Potential

We're starting to get a sense of which players are integral parts of their team's offense, especially in the red zone. And we all know as fantasy players that touching the ball in this area more often than not lead to the very thing that will send your team into victory each week - touchdowns. […]

Alex Collins Has Tough Matchup Versus Saints

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins is coming off a solid 54-yard, two-touchdown performance on a season-high 19 carries in a 21-0 win over the Titans last week. While he averaged an uninspiring 2.8 yards per attempt, he only had two negative runs and garnered five or more yards on three of his carries. More […]

Inside the Tent - Week 7 NFL Injury Insight

Everyone held a collective breath as they watched Cooper Kupp get horse-collared by a Broncos defender and had his left knee twisted awkwardly. Thankfully, he didn't tear any ligaments and was even able to come back and play in the second half after getting carted off the field. Devonta Freeman, Leonard Fournette, and Dalvin Cook […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 8 Edition)

I thought that Week 7 was going to be one of the better weeks of the season, but, even while thinking that, I could not have predicted the mayhem that occurred. The top 10 rankings had to be completely overhauled with four top 10 losses and we were close to one more. Week 8 features […]

Marcus Cannon To Miss Week 7

New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (concussion) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bears. Quarterback Tom Brady's protection won't be as good as usual against a strong Chicago pass rush, although All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) is questionable and was slowed by his injury […]

Keep Peyton Barber Benched Against Cleveland

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been extremely unreliable this season. Despite getting the most snaps in the backfield, he has failed to produce all year up until last week. Barber only went off because Atlanta's defense has been exposable by running backs all season due to the barrage of injuries that have hit. Barber […]

Darren Sproles Ruled Out Against Panthers

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Panthers. Sproles hasn't played since injuring himself in the season opener against the Falcons. There remains no timetable for his return, so he can continue to be left to the waiver wire. Corey Clement […]

Kareem Hunt Has Found His Rhythm

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had 185 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Patriots in Week 6. Hunt was shaky to start off the season, but has finally found his rhythm once again. Hunt has seen his carries decline from last season, but he still remains productive. The Bengals […]

Joe Mixon Looks Favorable Against KC

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will have plenty of chances to put up some fantasy points against Kansas City on Sunday night. The Chiefs have struggled against the run for the entire season and are currently the second-worst team overall in fantasy points allowed to opposing backs. With so many injuries on the offensive […]

Matt Breida Ready To Roll

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) isn’t listed on the final injury report. Breida is undoubtedly banged up, but a healthy tag means he’ll play in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Niners operate a committee backfield, but Breida should carry the bulk of the load while splitting time with […]

Carlos Hyde Won't Play In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars newly-acquired running back Carlos Hyde will not play in Week 7 against the Texans after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns on Friday. With such a short turnaround to learn the offense, Hyde will be inactive this weekend. That means that T.J. Yeldon will maintain his status as an RB2 against Houston with […]

Leonard Fournette Expected To Return After Bye

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), who is out for Week 7 against the Texans, is still on track to return after the team's Week 9 bye. The Jaguars traded for running back Carlos Hyde on Friday in order to give them insurance in case Fournette suffers another setback with his hamstring injury. Fournette […]

Marshawn Lynch Could Land On Injured Reserve

Updating a previous report, Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (groin) is a strong candidate to go on Injured Reserve. Lynch will miss at least a month with his injury and could be done for the year if he's put on IR. Doug Martin should handle the early downs in his absence, with Jalen Richard […]

Todd Gurley Will Continue to be Unstoppable

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed for over 200 yards last week and he might just do it again in Week 7. Gurley has scored 11 total touchdowns this season and he'll likely add to that this week. The 49ers run defense has been below average and should have a difficult time trying […]

Four Patriots Playmakers Questionable Against Bears

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Julian Edelman (heel) and Josh Gordon (hamstring) were all limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 7 against the Bears. There has been no indication that any of them are in danger of sitting […]

Ito Smith Has A Chance To Prove Himself

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith will get a chance to prove himself to the Falcons this season, and it will start Monday night with their matchup against the New York Giants. Smith will now assume the role of primary backup to Tevin Coleman with Devonta Freeman on the injured reserve. Smith has scored touchdowns […]

Tevin Coleman Could Bounce Back Monday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman has a real chance to bounce back against the New York Giants on Monday. With Devonta Freeman on the injured reserve Coleman will lead this backfield, potentially for the rest of the season. However, Coleman has struggled recently averaging just 40 rushing yards and 15 yards receiving in the […]
