Lotto Time - Late Draft Picks that Could Pay Off
During the draft season, we love to get hyped up on young, up-and-coming players. Spinning yarns about future stardom and inflating their draft price to the point where many of these sleepers are no longer values. The purpose of this article is to try and identify sleepers that no one is excited about - the […]
Le'Veon Bell Expected To Be Ready For Week 1
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell's tentative plan is to miss training camp but to be ready for the regular season in Week 1, according to sources. As expected, Bell missing any regular season games would be a shock, and the Steelers expect him to play a full season. With Bell on another one-year franchise […]

Le'Veon Bell Turned Down $70 Million Contract
According to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the Pittsburgh Steelers offered running back Le'Veon Bell a five-year, $70 million contract ahead of the July 16 deadline for the two sides to work out an extension. Rapoport went on to report that $30 million of that contract would come over the next two years. That […]
James Conner Could Be Every-Down Back
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner was impressive during spring workouts and could be an every-down back in the league. With Le'Veon Bell playing on the franchise tag for the second straight year and possibly leaving after 2018, the Steelers may need to look to the future, and Conner could step into a lead-back role […]
Le'Veon Bell Likely In Final Year With Steelers
After failing to reach a long-term extension ahead of the deadline on Monday, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell's agent, Adisa Bakari, said that 2018 will likely be his client's last with the Steelers. "His intention was to retire as a Steeler," Bakari told ESPN's Adam Schefter. "But now that there's no deal, the practical […]
Le'Veon Bell Expected To Play Under Franchise Tag
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is once again expected to play under the franchise tag in 2018 with a long-term deal not expected to happen before the deadline on Monday, according to a source. That means that Bell will hold out of training camp and the preseason for the second straight year, but it's […]
Christian McCaffrey Won't See Big Increase In Carries
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey isn't expected to see a huge increase in carries with C.J. Anderson in the lead role as the traditional back. After all, McCaffrey had just 3.7 yards per carry on 117 attempts in his rookie season on the ground. Where he'll make up for it, though, is through the […]
Darren Sproles Expected To See Snaps Decrease
In the opinion of the Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski, Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is expected to see his snaps per game decrease in what will be his final season in the NFL. Most of the veteran's contributions are expected to come on special teams as a returner with Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement […]
Jay Ajayi Could See More Touches In 2018
There is a chance that the Philadelphia Eagles try to get their money's worth from running back Jay Ajayi in 2018 and give him a higher workload than he had last season. Ajayi has just one year left on his rookie deal and could be playing somewhere else in 2019. The former Dolphin was much […]
Le'Veon Bell Prepared To Sit Out Half The Season?
ESPN's Adam Schefter thinks that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell could sit out half the year if he can't come to an agreement on a contract extension with the team. "The goal at that point would be to hit 2019 free agency healthy, not rack up another 400 touches," Schefter said. We'd be pretty […]
Darren Sproles Will Retire After Season
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles announced that he will retire after the 2018 season, which will be his 14th in the league. Sproles played in just three games last year before sitting out with arm and knee injuries. He currently sits with 4,656 receiving yards, 3,366 rushing yards, 2,792 punt return yards and 8,350 […]
C.J. Anderson (RB, CAR) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper
We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]
Day 2 Notes from the 2018 National Fantasy Football Convention
We continue our coverage of this year's National Fantasy Football Convention (NFFC) with more player interviews from Sunday.

Steelers, Le'Veon Bell Make Progress In Contract Talks
The Pittsburgh Steelers and running back Le'Veon Bell have made some progress in contract talks, but a decision make come down to the wire on Monday.

Ameer Abdullah, Dwayne Washington On The Roster Bubble
Detroit Lions running backs Ameer Abdullah and Dwayne Washington are firmly on the roster bubble heading into training camp after the team signed LeGarrette Blount in free agency and added Kerryon Johnson in the draft. Blount, Johnson and Theo Riddick are locks, and if Detroit keeps a fullback, Abdullah, Washington and Zach Zenner could be […]

Bills Interested In Branden Oliver
The Buffalo Bills are showing interest in free-agent running back Branden Oliver, according to a source. The Bills were interested in Oliver before allegations regarding domestic and animal abuse against LeSean McCoy came out. Either way, the Bills might need to cover their bases as far as running back depth in case McCoy is suspended […]
DeMarco Murray Retiring
Free-agent running back DeMarco Murray announced his retirement on Friday at the age of 30, according to a source. He's calling it quits after nagging injuries held him to 184 carries for 659 yards (career-low 3.6 yards per carry) and six touchdowns in 15 games with the Titans in 2017. Murray reached the 1,000-yard mark […]
Thomas Rawls On The Roster Bubble
New York Jets running back Thomas Rawls will probably be the odd man out in the running back room during training camp, and he is the longest shot to make the roster of the five running backs, including Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, Elijah McGuire, Trenton Cannon and Lawrence Thomas. Rawls never played more than 13 […]
Connor Williams Expected to Start at Left Guard
Dallas Cowboys rookie offensive lineman Connor Williams is expected to start at left guard this season. The second-round pick played left tackle in college, but with Tyron Smith there on the Cowboys line, the rookie will make the move to guard. Assuming he plays to his ability, the Cowboys will have their offensive line be […]
Chris Ivory Could Be Lead Back In Buffalo
Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory could be thrust into a lead-back role if LeSean McCoy faces discipline after being accused of domestic, child and animal abuse this week. Ivory would see a huge value increase to start the year, but McCoy is indispensable to the Bills offense. Ivory had a career-worst 3.4 yards per […]
Bilal Powell Must Fight For Playing Time
New York Jets running back Bilal Powell enters this season behind Isaiah Crowell in the lead-back role, and the New York Post's Brian Costello expects Powell's production to drop dramatically as a result. Powell was behind starter Matt Forte last year but ended up leading the team in carries (178), rushing yards (722) and rushing […]
T.J. Yeldon The Backup In Jacksonville
Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon, who is the team's best blocker and receiver, is firmly behind Leonard Fournette in the pecking order. He's in the final year of his rookie contract as the clear-cut No. 2 back ahead of Corey Grant. Yeldon is merely a fantasy handcuff for Fournette owners, but he could also […]
Sophomore Slump Candidates for 2018
The dreaded "sophomore slump," or significant drop off in production a player experiences in his second NFL season, is something that fantasy owners hope to never hear being said about a player they own or plan on drafting. The 2017 season saw plenty of rookies make noticeable, even historic impacts on their teams immediately upon […]
