Bucky Irving Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (hamstring) was limited in practice due to a hamstring injury.

Should I Drop Ray Davis? Fantasy Football Outlook

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis was a popular sleeper candidate during the preseason.

Should I Drop Jaylen Warren? Fantasy Football Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has always been a fan favorite among the fantasy football community.

Some had high hopes for Warren after the team […]

Should I Drop Jaleel McLaughlin? Fantasy Football Outlook

Denver Broncos Jaleel McLaughlin was a popular sleeper candidate heading into the 2024 NFL season. The former undrafted free agent had a productive rookie year, flashing potential star upside.

When Is Keaton Mitchell Coming Back? Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 4 (2024)

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell looked like the fastest man in football last year.

In a positive development for the Houston Texans, running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is expected to return for a Week 4 matchup against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday, according to league sources.

Joe Mixon Still Regarded As Week-To-Week

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is still regarded as week-to-week due to an ankle injury that kept him out of the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, according to sources.

Rico Dowdle Remains Low-End RB3 Option For Week 4

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle saw 50% of rush attempts and a 10% target share in Week 3's loss to Baltimore. Dowdle's increased usage is encouraging for the future of his fantasy viability, but firing him up into starting lineups for Week 4 may be too early. While Thursday's matchup with the Giants is […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Touchdown-Dependent Option For Week 4

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott only touched the ball four times in last week's loss to Baltimore. Elliott's usage has not been consistent enough this season to consider him a weekly starter, but this week's matchup with the New York Giants offers more upside than last week's did. Elliott will likely need a touchdown […]
