Top Fantasy Football Injuries From Sunday's Games: Stefon Diggs, Jordan Love, Drake Maye, Rico Dowdle, Jordan Mason, Brian Thomas, Christian Kirk, Josh Jacobs,

The fantasy football season keeps marching forward. When I started preparing to write this column for Week 8, I was hoping we would finally have a week where there were relatively few injuries to report. Oh, how naive I was. We lost several starting quarterbacks to injury and saw a potentially serious knee injury to […]

Roschon Johnson Scores As Goal-Line Threat For Bears In Week 8

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson made the most of his limited chances against the Washington Commanders. He recorded just two carries for 6 yards but found the end zone on a goal-line carry. Johnson was also in on the previous possession's goal-line attempt. However, the Bears opted for a handoff to a […]

D'Andre Swift Powers Bears Offense Against Commanders

BALLER MOVE: Add As Handcuff  ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis had another pedestrian outing in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Isaac Guerendo (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo should be rostered in most leagues, especially by managers of lead RB Christian McCaffrey.

Tyler Allgeier Ineffective On Double-Digit Opportunities In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier recorded double-digit carries for the second time in three weeks in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers, but was able to gain just 33 yards on his 12 totes. His 2.8 yards per carry was a far cry from the 5.7 YPC he averaged heading into the game and […]

Alexander Mattison Totals 44 Yards In Lead Back Role

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison seemed to have wrested control of the lead running back role for his team in their Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was highly inefficient with his touches, though. He carried the ball 14 times for 15 yards (a paltry 1.1 yards per carry), and […]

Zamir White Seemingly Phased Out Of Offense In Week 8

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White wasn't a significant part of the game plan in the Raiders' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. He carried the ball just two times for negative-one yard and was not targeted. Las Vegas' coaching staff is likely responding to his ineffectiveness this season by severely […]

Christian McCaffrey On Track For Week 10 Return

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is currently "ramping up" and set to take part in practice during the team's Week 9 bye.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby had a solid fantasy day in a 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

In fact, backup running back D'Ernest […]

Miles Sanders Sees Increased Usage Against Denver

For several weeks, Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders had been rendered insignificant in their offense, recording just four touches in three straight games. However, Sanders was Carolina's receptions leader in Sunday’s 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos, catching all seven targets for 38 yards. Still, his lack of rushing opportunities remains discouraging, especially considering […]

Jordan Mason Doesn't Return In Second Half Sunday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys and did not return.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 48 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Jets.
