Jonathan Stewart May Have Very Little Left
New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart, who signed a two-year, $6.8 million deal in the offseason, looked more like a plodding veteran trying to hang on in spring workouts rather than a running back capable of shouldering a heavy workload. He averaged a career-low 3.4 yards per carry with the Panthers last year and […]
LeSean McCoy Denies Allegations of Domestic Violence, PED Use
Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is denying accusations of domestic violence, child abuse, animal cruelty and performance-enhancing drug use on his Instagram account after an Instagram user posted a graphic image of a woman with cuts and bruises on her face along with a message that accused McCoy of beating the woman. McCoy responded […]
Dolphins Not Worried About Frank Gore's Age
The Miami Dolphins still like veteran running back Frank Gore despite his age -- he turned 35 earlier this year. Gore is a tough guy and managed to play in 112 consecutive games. He has managed 12 straight seasons with at least 1,200 yards from scrimmage and has been an effective inside runner given his […]
Royce Freeman (RB, DEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~45 CURRENT ADP: ~55 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman is part of an emerging Broncos team that added Case Keenum and may be able to surprise people. The fact that a potential lead back has an ADP of 55 seems insane and he may even be a steal in the fifth round […]
Stop The Slander - RBBC Isn't a Four-Letter Word In Fantasy Football
As millions prepare for their respective fantasy football draft, know this - the key to your salvation may be the same thing you have been programmed to distrust, loathe and sometimes ignore its existence altogether. Running Back By Committee or RBBC is not a four-letter word. What if I told you the most treasured new […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: With both C.J. Anderson and Jamaal Charles gone, Denver Broncos third-year running back Devontae Booker will have the early opportunity to take a stranglehold of the lead back duties . In his first two years, he has been somewhat lost in a messy backfield and has totaled 911 total rushing […]
Pay Up! Auction Draft Strategies for 2018
There’s nothing more exciting in a fantasy football auction when you have one of your top targets up and you currently have the highest bid. You hear the auctioneer yell, “Going once”, as your palms start to sweat with anticipation. “Going twice,” you think you may have just had a heart attack. “Sold!” You suddenly […]
Who's #1 at Each Position in Dynasty?
Determining the value of any dynasty player comes down to two things. First, the player's expected production in the upcoming season, and secondly their production in seasons that are years down the line. As a dynasty team owner, it is important to understand where your roster is in terms of "rebuild" or "win now" and […]
Alfred Blue Likely To Make Team
Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue is likely to make the team because of his special teams abilities, and he's expected to open the year as the No. 3 back behind Lamar Miller and D'Onta Foreman. However, with injury concerns surrounding Foreman, Blue could be thrust into a more prominent role in the backfield at […]
Training Camp Battle For Cardinals No. 2 Running Back
The Arizona Cardinals running backs have been battling it out for the No. 2 role in the team's offense during training camp. So far, it looks as though Chase Edmonds, the rookie fourth-round pick, has been the most impressive. However, with veterans D.J. Foster and TJ Logan in the mix, it may not be as […]
Derrick Henry Could Lead Titans Backfield
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry could still easily lead the backfield in rushing attempts and rushing yards despite the offseason signing of Dion Lewis. However, the more versatile Lewis could have more all-purpose yards than Henry. The Titans will surely create game-day packages for each back, and both runners could be on the field […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper
We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson. 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 […]
2018 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues
The yards are getting harder and harder to come by for today’s running backs in the NFL. There were only nine 1,000-yard rushers in the NFL last season, the second-lowest amount over the past 15 years. The 2018 rushing champion, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, led the league with the lowest amount of yards (1,327) since […]
Dynasty RB Rankings Analysis (June)
As we draw ever-closer to NFL training camps, dynasty owners are gearing up for drafts already. Many rookie drafts have already begun, but the best is the dynasty startup where you get to create a new franchise from scratch. Dynasty is a different beast than redraft, so you need to know how to value each […]
Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~25 CURRENT ADP: ~35 ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry seemed to be in line for a massive workload in a run-heavy offense with no competition for touches in sight. That all changed when Dion Lewis got PAID. The addition of Lewis does not destroy Henry's fantasy value, but it certainly does not help either. Henry may still […]
Joe Mixon (RB, CIN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~15 CURRENT ADP: ~25 ANALYSIS: This very well could be a breakout year for Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon. The departure of Jeremy Hill reaffirms that Mixon is unquestionably going to be the Week 1 starting running back, barring an injury. Mixon has the potential to be a three-down workhorse, and with an improved offensive line that […]
Jerrick McKinnon (RB, SF) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~20 CURRENT ADP: ~25 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon is the most obvious top-end sleeper leading into the season. He was the most obvious when he was signed by San Francisco, but there was concern over the 49ers drafting an early down back - someone like Rashaad Penny, Royce Freeman, or even Nick […]
Running Back Handcuffs Worth Drafting as Standalone Players
I've never been a handcuff enthusiast. I don't think it's an effective strategy. If I draft Kareem Hunt this year, I don't want Spencer Ware. He would just sit on my bench and have no chance at being a useful asset...unless Hunt goes down. I don't want Hunt to go down and I certainly would […]
Rex Burkhead Likely To Be Goal-Line Back
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is likely to open the season as the team's goal-line back after he served in that role at times in 2017. Rookie Sony Michel will see his opportunities, but he also fumbled 12 times in college and must prove himself from a ball-security standpoint first. Mike Gillislee and […]
Jordan Howard - This Year's Todd Gurley?
Let's not beat around the bush here. You've for sure heard about the parallels between the 2018 Bears and the 2017 Rams, of which there are many. The Rams brought in a new, offensive-minded head coach in Sean McVay to replace one of the worst head coaches in NFL history, Jeff Fisher. The Bears brought […]
The Million Dollar Question - RB or WR in 2018?
What’s up fantasy Jabronis? I’m taking a stab at answering the biggest question of all: What is the meaning of life? Is there life on other planets? What does wearing pleated pants in today's age say about you? Nope. You’ll have to ask el Camello or Raphstradamus about the pants. But I am here to […]

Robert Turbin Suspended for Four Games
Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin has been suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing drugs, according to Zak Keefer of the Indy Star. Keefer also stated that Turbin was operating as the Colts starting running back before the suspension with sophomore rusher Marlon Mack being limited […]
If at First You Don't Succeed... Second-Year NFL Breakouts
Do you remember your first year playing fantasy football? I can't talk about myself because I was 14 at the time and everyone in my league was essentially playing for the first time. But over the years, as I got older, I saw plenty of friends introduced to the world of fantasy sports. Many of […]

David Johnson's season, and many of his fantasy owners' seasons, ended abruptly during Week 1 of the 2017 NFL Season. Fantasy's number one ranked player suffered a dislocated wrist that required season-ending surgery.
