Rhamondre Stevenson Faces Tougher Matchup In Week 9

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson had an impressive showing last Sunday, but he'll get a tougher matchup in the form of the Tennessee Titans during Week 9. The 2024 season has been a mixed bag of results for Stevenson, who is ultimately averaging 60.3 rushing yards, 8.7 receiving yards, and 0.7 touchdowns per […]

Roschon Johnson, The Bears’ Goal-Line Back A Risky Play In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson is eager for increased opportunities this week as he takes on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Though he has been primarily used sparingly as a backup, he has established himself as the team's go-to goal-line back, showcasing his potential in that role. Last week, Johnson had a limited […]

D'Andre Swift A Must-Start RB2 In Week 9 Against The Cardinals

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is poised to be a strong RB2 for Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, a game that presents an excellent opportunity for him to shine. Last week, Swift was the driving force behind Chicago’s offense, especially when their passing game struggled to find any rhythm. He delivered an impressive […]

DraftKings Evening CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/2/24)

We have a great eight-game slate to close out the night tonight. For the first time in years, we don't have a late-night slate. You can thank the death of the Pac-12 for that. The Mountain West playing during the day doesn't help either. We begin in Stillwater with the Pokes hosting Arizona State...or maybe […]

Fantasy Football Injury Updates for Week 9: Lamar Jackson, Puka Nacua, Tee Higgins, Jordan Love, Brian Thomas Jr.

The fantasy football gods don't care about your hopes and aspirations for your team. They dole out what they want when they please. It's common for players to get injuries in a sport that involves crashing into each other at high speeds and changing direction with extreme force. It's Week 9, which means some fantasy […]

Sean Tucker - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in all formats until he earns more touches POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: The Bucs offense has taken a nosedive in fantasy. With Chris Godwin out for the season and Mike Evans on IR for the next two games, things are looking rough. And to top it off, the backfield has turned into […]

Javonte Williams - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Javonte Williams had a disappointing showing in what should've been a prime matchup against Carolina last week, but Bo Nix and the passing game ended up stealing the spotlight. This week doesn’t look much better, as he’s up against one of the league’s toughest […]

Zamir White Questionable Against The Bengals

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quad) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and is expected to be active in Week 9. White lost his starting job to his former backup, Alexander Mattison, ahead of his Week 8 matchup. He proceeded to rush […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 9 Including Davante Adams, Chase Brown, J.K. Dobbins, Aaron Jones

We can't even begin discussing Week 8 without acknowledging National Tight Ends Day. Unless you started Jake Ferguson or Cole Kmet, you were happy with the output you got from your tight end last week. Don't expect to be as pleased this week -- we are much more likely to revert to the tight-end landscape […]

Alexander Mattison Will Continue As Starting Running Back In Week 9

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will keep his duties as the lead RB for the Raiders for their Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. He's been inefficient as a runner, averaging just over 3.1 yards per carry on the season. Most of his value has come from rushing touchdowns and receiving work […]

What's Wrong With Tank Dell, Keenan Allen, and Zamir White? Fantasy Football Outlook

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell, Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen, and Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White are three players who have disappointed in fantasy football in 2024. For a variety of reasons, none have lived up to the hype they received in the preseason. It can be confusing and difficult to […]

Fact or Fiction: Fantasy Football Outlooks for Bo Nix, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Ladd McConkey, Cedric Tillman, Cade Otton

Week 8 of the NFL is behind us, and it's time to look ahead to next week's action. There were some surprising performances in the eighth week of the season, but were those surprising performances a sign of things to come for players? Every week, I'll examine five NFL players whose numbers from the previous […]

Alvin Kamara Cleared For Week 9

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hand/ribs) was limited in practice all week, nursing a fracture in both his hand and a rib. Kamara carries no injury designation going into Week 9's game against the Carolina Panthers, however. In Week 1, Kamara had a total of 20 touches for 110 scrimmage yards and a […]

Chuba Hubbard Remains Panthers RB1 Entering Week 9

With Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathan Brooks (knee) out and still not activated from his 21-day practice window, running back Chuba Hubbard remains the beneficiary of Carolina's rushing attack. Hubbard will face a weak New Orleans defense in Week 9, which ranks 28th against running backs and has allowed 100 or more rushing yards […]

D'Ernest Johnson Small Chance For Workhorse Role Against Eagles

Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson could suddenly jump from third to first in the depth chart in Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Travis Etienne Jr. and Tank Bigsby are questionable this week, so Johnson would be the next man up. For Johnson to be fantasy-relevant, it would likely take both players to […]

Julius Chestnut - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 (If He's The Lead Back) ANALYSIS: Legendary name, but unfortunately, not legendary player (we think). Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut could see the lead role with second-string back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) expected to be unavailable for Week 9, and RB1 Tony Pollard (foot) a game-time decision. IF Julius […]

Emanuel Wilson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen even less work as an RB in recent weeks, and we've instead seen lead back Josh Jacobs (ankle) handle even more of a workload since Week 5. Rather than a committee, this is a backfield with a workhorse RB1 […]

Demarcus Robinson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had his best game of the season, catching two of his three targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns in his team's upset win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. However, he's unlikely to score touchdowns in every game this […]

D'Ernest Johnson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: There was some value to having Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson on fantasy rosters, but with running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) "good to go" for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, that value may be gone. Johnson was the primary pass-catching back before, but that role could […]

Kareem Hunt Returns To Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (quad) participated fully in the team's Friday practice. The 29-year-old was listed as limited on Thursday, so it's nice to see him able to log a full session just one day later. It's excellent news for Kansas City, as the veteran's quad ailment is the second injury to […]

Jahmyr Gibbs’ Big-Play Potential Makes Him A Must-Start In Week 9

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs offers intriguing upside in Week 9 as he faces the Green Bay Packers. Gibbs showcased his big-play ability last week with a 70-yard touchdown run, extending his streak of at least one 20-yard rush to six games. In his last three games, Gibbs has totaled 306 rushing yards and […]

David Montgomery’s Red Zone Role Keeps Him In Play Against Packers’ Defense

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery remains a solid RB2 option heading into Week 9, taking on a Green Bay Packers defense that ranks 10th in rushing yards allowed per game. Currently ranking as RB11 in fantasy points per game, Montgomery has been dependable, averaging over 15 touches and 79 total yards per game. His […]

Jeremy McNichols Desperation Flex Option Facing The Giants

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols could see an increase in opportunities in Week 9 with Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) listed as questionable. Throughout the first half of the campaign, McNichols only has had opportunities when the Commanders had sizeable leads in games. He saw only seven or more carries in three games this season […]

Austin Ekeler Could See More Usage In Week 9

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler could see increased usage as No.1 option Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Last weekend, Ekeler continued to serve as the clear No.2 option in the backfield, carrying the ball seven times for 52 yards and bringing in two passes for six yards. This […]

Saquon Barkley Has Juicy Matchup Against Jaguars In Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will take on the 2-6 Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. The 27-year-old crossed the century mark in scrimmage yards gained for the sixth time in seven games last week during the Eagles' statement win over the Bengals but left fantasy managers wanting more with no touchdowns scored. He has […]

De'Von Achane Has Low-End RB1 Potential Versus Buffalo

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is coming off his most impressive performance of 2024. The second-year back recorded 97 rushing yards on ten carries and caught six receptions on eight targets for 50 yards and a receiving touchdown. Now he gets a matchup against a Buffalo Bills defense that has allowed the second most […]
