David Johnson Still Wants 1,000 Rushing, 1,000 Receiving Yards

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has stated that his goal for the season is still 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards. This would make him a locked-in, high-end RB1 for the season and see him return to the form that he exhibited in 2016. Johnson spent all of last season injured but is […]

Rookie NFL Sleeper - Sony Michel (RB, NE)

Each year, there are several players who are undervalued following the NFL Draft. These youngsters are often thrust into competitive position groups, poor situations, or teams who didn't invest a first round pick as a glowing endorsement of their talents. However, for fantasy purposes, the recent increase in skilled and productive players out of the […]

Nyheim Hines Shows Off Pass-Catching Skills in Rookie Minicamp

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich has been highly impressed with rookie running back Nyheim Hines' intelligence and pass-catching skills so far in minicamp, per Andrew Walker of Colts.com.

Tavon Austin to Get Work as a Receiver?

Dallas Cowboys new acquisition Tavon Austin will get most of his work as a receiver, according to offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. "We’ll use him for a lot of things, but he’s a receiver first," Linehan said. "Some of his skill set is as an outside receiver, but he can move around." Earlier reports stated the […]

Saints Not Ruling Out Signing Adrian Peterson

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton wouldn't rule out the team considering signing free-agent running back Adrian Peterson.

[…]

Devontae Booker Figures To Lead Running Back Competition

With C.J. Anderson gone, Denver Broncos running back Devontae Booker figures to be the lead back in training camp, with 2017 sixth-rounder De'Angelo Henderson having a chance to be the 1B back.

Kenjon Barner Signs With Panthers

Free-agent running back Kenjon Barner is signing with the Carolina Panthers on Friday, according to a source. Barner was selected in the sixth round by the Panthers back in 2013, but he played in just eight games his rookie season and missed all of 2014.

Adrian Peterson Is Looking For A Team

Former Cardinals running back Adrian Peterson is undergoing an intense offseason workout routine and is reportedly looking for a team after stating that he can still compete at a high level.

Derrick Coleman Signs With Cardinals

Free-agent fullback Derrick Coleman has signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals and is expected to be the starting fullback.

Adam Gase High On Kalen Ballage

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase has liked what he's seen so far from rookie running back Kalen Ballage. “He’s a big man that runs fast and can catch the ball well,” Gase said Thursday. “He really has all of the things that you’re looking for in an all-around back. It’ll be fun to see […]

The Detroit Lions have waived running back Tion Green. Green was an undrafted free agent who saw action toward the end of the 2017 season, racking up 42 carries for 165 yards.

Matt Patricia Emphatically Expresses Innocence

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia has emphatically expressed his innocence following an article detailing a 22-year-old aggravated-assault indictment in Texas. The indictment never went to court, as the alleged victim never testified. These allegations never came up in previous interviews, and the Lions front office has stood behind Patricia in full support. Unless new […]

Giants Waive Paul Perkins

The New York Giants waived running back Paul Perkins (pectoral) on Thursday.

Derrius Guice Expected To Be Early-Down Back

Because of some questions as to whether Washington Redskins rookie Derrius Guice can be adequate in pass protection, he is expected to mainly serve as the lead back on first and second downs, according to head coach Jay Gruden. Guice didn't see a lot of work in the passing game in college, but he's willing […]

Cowboys Want to Feature Tavon Austin

Dallas Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said the team wants newly-acquired running back/wide receiver Tavon Austin to get "a dozen to two dozen" touches per game.

Peyton Barber, Ronald Jones Expected To Share The Load

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, who finished strong last season, is expected to share the workload with rookie Ronald Jones in 2018.

Panthers Claim Elijah Hood Off Waivers

The Carolina Panthers claimed running back Elijah Hood off waivers from the Raiders on Tuesday.

Anderson recently to be their main early-down […]
