De'Von Achane A Deep-League Flex Play In Week 17

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane hasn't gotten close to his same level of production ever since returning from injury.

Jamaal Williams Could Be In RB3 Territory In Week 17

New Orleans Saints' veteran running back Jamaal Williams could be in line for an increased role in the event that Alvin Kamara (illness) cannot go.

Jordan Mason, Danny Gray Questionable For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (illness) and wide receiver Danny Gray (shoulder) are listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.

Kendre Miller Trending In The Wrong Direction

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle), who is listed as questionable to play in Week 17 on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a big divisional matchup, is trending in the wrong direction to play, according to a source.

Justice Hill A Desperation Flex Option In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill ended up as the No. 1 back in Week 16 because the game script allowed for it. Hill has always been the one to get more of the passing-down work over Gus Edwards. The issue is that Hill has only scored one touchdown all season, and the last time […]

Zach Charbonnet’s Week 17 Value In Flux

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet was of no use to fantasy managers in Week 16.

Christian McCaffrey Faces Washington As Overall RB1

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has spent all season as the consensus RB1 in fantasy, which certainly won't be changing in Week 17 at the Washington Commanders.

Tee Higgins Hopes To Stay On Track Against The Chiefs
