D'Onta Foreman Lands On PUP

Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) will be on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the start of training camp. Foreman had two touchdowns last year but could be a breakout candidate if he can prove healthy in the preseason. The longer he's out, the more it benefits Lamar Miller, but Foreman is […]

Matt Breida Will Be Involved In 2018

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon will be heavily used in 2018, but backup Matt Breida will remain involved. Even with Carlos Hyde touching the ball 299 times last year, Breida still managed 126 touches (105 rushes, 21 catches) in head coach Kyle Shanahan's system. 49ers.com's Joe Fann expects Breida to be just as […]

With LA's offense only improving and quarterback […]

Spencer Ware Restructures Deal

The Kansas City Chiefs restructured their deal with running back Spencer Ware, with $725,000 of his $1.45 million base salary being converted into incentives, according to a source.

Christian McCaffrey Could See 200 Carries

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will once again play a major part in the offense, and head coach Ron Rivera said he wouldn't be surprised if the second-year back reached 200 carries after having just 117 in 2017.

DeAndre Washington Not Expected To Make Team

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington isn't expected to make the roster out of training camp over undrafted rookie Chris Warren. Warren adds a different dynamic to the running game at 6-foot-2, 246 pounds. Washington had only 57 carries for 153 yards (2.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in 15 games with the Raiders […]

Doug Martin Has Impressed Coaches

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin barely topped 400 yards each of the last two years with the Buccaneers, but head coach Jon Gruden likes him, and offensive coordinator Greg Olson said Martin "jumped out" during offseason workouts this spring. Martin could benefit from a change of scenery, but the 29-year-old averaged a weak 2.9 […]

Superflex Strategy - How to Attack Draft Day

Superflex leagues, for those that don't already know, are a fantasy football setup in which every team's lineup includes at least one flex spot that can plan any offensive position, including quarterback. Typical leagues with flex spots allow for just RB/WR/TE combos, but superflex throws the high-scoring QB position in the mix. Current conventional fantasy […]

Jerick McKinnon Could Reach 1,500 Yards From Scrimmage

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has a blend of strength, speed, quickness and catching ability and should be able to provide around 1,500 yards from scrimmage in head coach Kyle Shanahan's system in his first year in San Fran. McKinnon ran for 570 yards and had 421 yards receiving in Minnesota in 2017 […]

Leonard Fournette Playing At 223 Pounds

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is entering training camp at 223 pounds, which is the lowest weight he's played at since high school in 2013. He was noticeably thinner in spring workouts, so this isn't much of a surprise. Fournette looked to break down late last year, so a lighter weight should make him […]

Spencer Ware Ready For Training Camp

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee), who injured his PCL and LCL and missed the whole 2017 season, should be "ready to go" for the first training camp practice on Thursday, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy believes that running back Jordan Howard can be an every-down back in his offense.

We’re going to use him, […]

Why This Year's Alvin Kamara Doesn't Exist

One of the biggest pitfalls of fantasy football analysis is recency bias. Whenever something new or innovative is invented or discovered, everyone is looking for "the next (insert thing) here." In fantasy football, we constantly chase last year's production at our own peril. Alvin Kamara is coming off the single most efficient season for a […]

Colts to Employ Committee Backfield in 2018

According to Indianapolis Colts running backs coach Tom Rathman, the team does not plan to feature a bell-cow running back in 2018.
