Derrick Henry Intends To Dominate Ground Game

Jaylen Warren Remains Limited In Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (hamstring) remained limited in practice on Wednesday.

The Falcons were a middle-of-the-road rushing defense in 2023 so this […]

Isiah Pacheco To Dominate Backfield Touches

BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: No one knows how the Dallas Cowboys running back room will play out this season.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 18+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: After spending his first four years with the Washington Commanders, running back Antonio Gibson signed with the New England Patriots in free agency.

Rasheen Ali Doubtful To Make NFL Debut On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Rasheen Ali (neck) is doubtful to suit up on Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Aaron Jones Has RB1 Upside In Week 1 Against The Giants

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones looks to have a productive debut in the purple and gold as his team faces the New York Giants in Week 1. The Vikings weren't productive on the ground in 2023, largely due to a reliance on subpar rushers in the backfield -- something they corrected in free agency […]

Is Christian McCaffrey Hurt or Healthy? Week 1 Fantasy Football Update

San Francisco 49ers Running Back Christian McCaffrey has been dealing with a calf strain for the past few weeks. While it's concerning news, there is always a window to return to practice and become fully healthy for the game when a player is injured in the preseason.

Saquon Barkley Has Solid Week 1 Matchup To Exploit

Josh Jacobs - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: Starting Josh Jacobs in Week 1 is a strong move.

Blake Corum - Week 1 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

BALLER MOVE: Don't Start in Week 1 POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Starting rookie running back Blake Corum in Week 1 could be a gamble, as his role in the Rams' offense is still uncertain.

BALLER MOVE: Sit in Week 1 POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end QB2 ANALYSIS: While it's fair to question Russell Wilson's talent at age 35 and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, fantasy managers should try to avoid starting Russell Wilson in Week 1.  Wilson was recently named the starting quarterback to begin the 2024 season after a long quarterback […]

Jayden Daniels - Week 1 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Jayden Daniels makes his highly-anticipated NFL debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the worst pass defenses a year ago (fourth-worst 248.9 yards per game).
