Frank Gore A Solid Week 7 Play

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore has continued to show that he deserves the majority of touches in the Dolphins backfield. Coming off a very solid Week 6 performance, Gore will look to attack the Detroit Lions defense with his aggressive running style. There is a good chance that Gore will get about 15 rushing […]

Kenyan Drake A Tricky Play In Week 7

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is yet again in a tricky fantasy situation. Drake and running back Frank Gore have been splitting touches and recently, Gore has been doing more damage on the ground. Drake is a young talent that the Dolphins will certainly continue to utilize but the extent of his workload will […]

Dalvin Cook Leaves Practice Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring), who practiced in full on Wednesday despite missing three of the last four games, left practice during the portion open to the media on Thursday. It remains to be seen if his is a setback or if Cook suffered another injury, so stay tuned for more details. But […]

Chase Edmonds Has No Fantasy Value In Week 7

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has a difficult pathway to fantasy relevance in Week 7. Edmonds will most likely take a backup role to fellow running back David Johnson in the contest, as the latter has been the team's main offensive weapon in 2018. Edmonds does not have any fantasy value for the week.

Terrelle Pryor, Isaiah Crowell Not Practicing Thursday

Updating a previous report, New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (groin) and running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Crowell was initially believed to be limited, but he did not do enough to receive that tag. He could have his touches limited if he is active […]

David Johnson Is An RB1 For Week 7

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has a great matchup against a weak run defense in the Denver Broncos. Johnson has scored six times so far this season and has been the team's main offensive weapon. Therefore, despite the reality of facing a negative game-script, Johnson should be considered a touchdown-dependent RB1 who will put […]

Theo Riddick Missing Practice Again

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) is not practicing for the second straight day on Thursday and appeared to be favoring his left leg as he left the field. It's not looking good for Riddick's availability on Sunday against the Dolphins. If he sits, it'd be good news for rookie Kerryon Johnson and LeGarrette […]

Giovani Bernard Out Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It looks like Bernard will have to wait another week to return from his knee sprain. When he does, he'll be the change-of-pace back behind Joe Mixon and will merely be an RB3/flex option in PPR leagues. […]

Robby Anderson, Isaiah Crowell Back At Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (hamstring) and running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) both are back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Both players should be able to suit up in Week 7 against the Vikings. Anderson hasn't really done much this year but has an opportunity at an expanded role […]

T.J. Yeldon To Return To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle, foot) is expected to return to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. This puts Yeldon on track to suit up in Week 7 against the Texans. With it looking likely that Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss another game, Yeldon will once again be in play as […]

Leonard Fournette, James O'Shaughnessy Sitting Out Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) are not expected to practice on Thursday. Fournette looks likely to miss another game and could be held out through the team's Week 9 bye. He's been a huge fantasy bust so far. O'Shaughnessy appears to have suffered an injury in practice […]

C.J. Anderson A Forgotten Man

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson entered Week 6 against the Redskins playing just 30 offensive snaps through four games. He played just one offensive snap against Washington. Anderson has only 16 carries for 84 yards on the year and has caught one pass for a 24-yard touchdown. He's merely a handcuff for Christian McCaffrey […]

Devonta Freeman Could Return This Year

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that running back Devonta Freeman (groin), who had successful groin surgery on Thursday, could come off Injured Reserve to play again this year. However, his return will likely depend on where the team stands in the playoff picture. Freeman would be eligible to return on Dec. 23 against […]

Latavius Murray Likely Splitting Carries In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray exploded for 155 yards and a touchdown in Week 6, but a repeat performance seems unlikely. With Dalvin Cook (hamstring) practicing in full, the talented sophomore will likely be back in the fold for Week 7 against the New York Jets. That sets up a platoon situation which is […]

Dalvin Cook A Risky RB Option In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been a full participant in practice to start the week, which makes it seem likely that he will suit up for Week 7 against the New York Jets. The issue for fantasy owners is that Cook will probably be on a snap count and cede carries to […]

Which Patriots Players Are Must-Owns and Buy-Lows?

After struggling the first three weeks of the season, the New England Patriots offense has looked like the well-oiled machine it was expected to be. The Patriots have averaged 39.7 points and rolled up 462.3 yards of total offense per game over the last three contests. New England's offense was in overdrive versus the Kansas […]

Alfred Morris Not Usable In Fantasy

After playing one snap and registering zero touches in Week 6, San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris is fading towards fantasy irrelevance. In his absence, running backs Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) and Raheem Mostert jumpstarted the Niners rushing attack to 174 yards. Morris is averaging a meager 3.7 YPC and while head coach Kyle […]

Nyheim Hines Hoping For A High-Scoring Game In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines' value is tied almost exclusively to his pass-catching ability. Unfortunately for him, the Colts have an easier matchup this week that should see an uptick in workload for veteran Marlon Mack. While it's possible for the Colts defense to struggle and allow the Buffalo Bills to score a lot, […]

Marlon Mack Has Flex Appeal In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had a strong return in Week 6, and he should see a similarly strong performance in Week 7. Despite facing a Buffalo Bills defense that is a top-10 group against the run, Mack should see more carries due to what could be an easy win for the Colts. Mack […]

Raheem Mostert's Usage Something To Monitor

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert was the team’s biggest surprise in Week 6, racing for 87 yards on 12 carries. After experiencing fumbling issues throughout his career, Mostert earned the trust of head coach Kyle Shanahan by working on ball security. He was rewarded with 40% of offensive snaps, rendering veteran Alfred Morris […]

Matt Breida Reliable Despite Health Risks

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) isn’t fully healthy but has suited up for all six games in 2018. Breida’s proven his toughness and also been effective, leading the NFL in yards per carry (6.8). The Niners take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, who surrender just 99.0 rush yards per […]

Phillip Lindsay Cracks Top 20

Having put up at least 75 yards from scrimmage in four of his six games this season, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay quietly ranks among the top-20 RBs in terms of scrimmage yards per game (including the ejection-shortened Week 3). Meanwhile, the Cardinals have allowed opposing RBs to pick up 138.8 rushing yards per […]

Royce Freeman a Solid Bet to Find the End Zone

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman has been held out of the end zone in two straight games, but a matchup with the Arizona Cardinals could be just what he needs to bring the scoring drought to an end. No team has allowed more rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs than the eight allowed by […]

Dalvin Cook Practicing In Full

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is practicing in full on Wednesday. It looks like Week 7 against the Jets will finally be the week that Cook returns after aggravating his hamstring in Week 4 on Thursday night. He's been a fantasy bust thus far, rushing 36 times for 98 scoreless yards (2.7 yards […]

Giovani Bernard Not Taking Part In Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday. Bernard is hoping to return from his knee sprain soon, but it might not be this Sunday night against the Chiefs. When Bernard is cleared, he'll return to his change-of-pace duties behind Joe Mixon and be in the mix as an RB3/flex play […]

Christian McCaffrey Could Struggle This Week

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey could find things a bit of a struggle this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. McCaffrey has not been the same player he was before his bye week, and he could struggle against a team that has only given up two rushing touchdowns all season and ranks as the team […]

No Practice For Theo Riddick

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Coming off a bye week, this is not a good sign for Riddick's chances of playing in Week 7 against the Dolphins. If he's out or limited, it'd mean more snaps and touches for both rookie Kerryon Johnson and LeGarrette Blount. Johnson has […]

Isaiah Crowell, Robby Anderson Sitting Out Of Practice

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (hamstring) both did not practice on Wednesday. Both players should be able to return to practice at some point this week and play in Week 7 against the Vikings, but we'll have to keep an eye on their status moving forward. Crowell […]

Robert Turbin Sidelined Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Turbin went down with what looked to be a serious shoulder injury in Week 6, so we wouldn't be surprised if he's unable to play this Sunday against the Bills. He has just four carries for 10 yards on the year and also […]

James White Should Be Active In Tough Matchup

New England Patriots running back James White will go up against a Bears defense that has allowed the second fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season. White has been a revelation in the backfield for the Patriots, racking up 149 rushing yards, 323 receiving yards and five total touchdowns. He is quarterback Tom Brady's […]
