Packers To Lean On Josh Jacobs In Week 2

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs had a solid game in Week 1, with 104 yards from scrimmage and three receptions.

Tony Pollard A Borderline RB2 Vs. Jets

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard will face the New York Jets this Sunday for the team's home opener.

He was heavily featured on the ground with sixteen total carries compared to […]

Tyjae Spears A Sneaky Play In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears takes on the New York Jets in Week 2 action on Sunday. Spears played second-fiddle to Tony Pollard in Week 1, logging eight touches (32 yards) to Pollard's 19 (94 yards). This was quite surprising given Titans OC Nick Holz's recent comments that the backfield would be split 50/50. […]

Derrick Henry Ready For A Strong Performance In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is primed for a bigger performance entering Week 2 after a promising first drive to his Ravens tenure led to fewer opportunities as the game went on. The veteran back didn't quite perform up to expectations despite scoring a touchdown in the beginning of the game against the Kansas […]

Christian McCaffrey Ruled Out For Sunday, Candidate For The IR?

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles/calf) was ruled out for Sunday's game, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Isiah Pacheco To Dominate On The Ground

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season.

Dameon Pierce Questionable For Sunday Night

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring) was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report with a hamstring injury, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of NFL.com. The 24-year-old hit the injury report on Thursday after logging a limited practice. He was kept entirely sidelined on Friday, which does not bode well for his status over […]

MarShawn Lloyd Listed As Questionable For Week 2

Green Bay Packers rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's match against the Indianapolis Colts.

Throughout the week, the USC product has logged three straight limited practice sessions, which […]

Aaron Jones A Borderline RB2 Against The 49ers

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones made a great debut for his new team against the New York Giants in Week 1, accounting for 109 yards of offense and a rushing touchdown. He will look to build on his Week 1 performance in Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Vikings struggled to run […]

Najee Harris - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Najee Harris saw 20 carries in the Steelers' Week One victory over the Falcons.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Travis Etienne and the Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a devastating defeat in Week 1.

Alvin Kamara Projects As RB2 In Week 2

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had a strong Week 1, taking all of the high-quality touches out of the Saints' backfield. Kamara faces a much tougher matchup than the running back-friendly Carolina defense this week as New Orleans travels to Dallas on Sunday. Kamara should see a healthy enough volume to be placed […]

Rico Dowdle - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle was in a strict committee in the season opener and should continue to have a similar role as the season progresses which makes him an RB3 heading into Week 2.

Austin Ekeler Remains Solid Play In PPR Leagues

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler led the team in receiving yards (52) in the season opener but had a limited role in the offense.
