The Detroit Lions have announced they are planning to use a running-back-by-committee approach next season. That will severely limit the fantasy values of each running back in Detroit. LeGarrette Blount, Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddick and whatever potential running back they draft will be an unpredictable and borderline unplayable fantasy asset next season. Draft accordingly.

Louisiana State running back Derrius Guice is flying to visit with the New England Patriots for a private visit, according to a source.

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson is fully healed from his wrist injury that he sustained in Week 1 of the 2017 season.
