Kenneth Walker III A Top-10 Play In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) is coming off a huge three-touchdown performance against the Detroit Lions in Week 4.

This coaching regime loves Walker, and his stronghold […]

Brian Robinson Jr. "Trending In The Right Direction"

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is "trending in the right direction" to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns despite not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday.

Ezekiel Elliott- Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 20+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers can't trust any Cowboys running back at this point of the season, especially Ezekiel Elliott.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ TeamLeagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Backend RB2/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Williams has struggled so far in 2024. He’s only averaging 3.2 yards per carry and has yet to find the endzone. However, he is coming off his best game of the season this past week during an upset victory over the New York […]

Jaylen Wright Could Get More Work Again

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright may again be the primary backup in his team's backfield when they square off against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Joe Mixon Unlikely To Play In Week 5

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is not expected to suit up for the Week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has been productive for his team through four games and looks to build off the first month against the New York Jets in Week 5.

Ray Davis Still A High-Upside Bench Stash

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis remains one of the best running back bench stashes across the league as the NFL enters Week 5. Under offensive coordinator Joe Brady, the Bills lean on James Cook and the running game. The rookie has been called upon to spell Cook on early downs. Veteran Ty Johnson would […]

De'Von Achane Has Tough Week 5 Matchup

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will have his work cut out for him this week when the team takes on the New England Patriots in Foxborough. The second-year back started the season off hot with back-to-back seven-catch games and 20+ fantasy-point outings. However, he's cooled over the last few weeks, with Miami posting just […]

James Cook In The RB1 Range In Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook suffered through the worst fantasy performance of his season in Week 4 but should bounce back against the Houston Texans. Cook was removed from the game due to a negative game script against the Ravens. He logged just 10 touches for under 50 yards. The game script on Sunday […]

Kyren Williams Remains A Must-Start Against Packers

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams had some question marks surrounding his role entering the season, but after four weeks it's clear to see he remains the bell cow of this backfield.

D'Andre Swift - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift finally had a good game in 2024. He's not a good running back, though. Luckily for him, he gets to face the Carolina Panthers, who have an awful run defense. They lost their best run defender, defensive tackle Derrick Brown, who was […]

Justice Hill - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Always starting players after big games without reading into the context of what happened is a way to get bad or at best inconsistent, fantasy production. Justice Hill benefited from a positive game script in the blowout of the Buffalo Bills in Week 4, and it's hard to […]

Devin Singletary - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: It looks like New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is set to miss the Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, who boast a good defense (when healthy). This is terrible news. New York doesn't have much of an offense without Nabers, and none of its receivers […]
