Ty Chandler Expected To Lead Backfield Sunday

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to "ride" Ty Chandler in Week 16, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. While Alexander Mattison (hamstring) is expected to be active, he apparently won't return to his starting role. After all, he is less than 100 percent and struggled when healthy while Chandler dominated to the tune of 157 […]

Alexander Mattison Expected To Play At Less Than 100 Percent

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is expected to play in Week 16 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. However, the 25-year-old is less than 100 percent and could take a backseat to Ty Chandler, who dominated with 157 total yards and one touchdown last weekend. While it's unclear […]

Javonte Williams A Flex Option In Week 16

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams struggled in Week 15 as he gained just 27 yards on 12 carries. He will look to bounce back against the New England Patriots in Week 16. The Patriots have been decent against running backs this season as they are allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to the […]

Kenneth Walker III Expected To Play Versus Titans

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is expected to play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 16 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 23-year-old will look to build on last week's productive outing in which he amassed 86 rushing yards, 26 receiving yards, and one touchdown. Although […]

D'Andre Swift A Low-End RB2 In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift rushed for 74 yards but was held out of the end zone for the fourth straight game in a Week 15 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Swift will now head back home to face off against the New York Giants in Week 16. The Giants have been generous […]

D'Onta Foreman Not Expected To Play In Week 16

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman (personal) has been listed as questionable and is not expected to play versus the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 16) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

The NFL playoff picture is becoming more clear and messy at the same time. There are several teams bunched up in both conferences, vying for final the Wild Card spots (or even division titles in some cases). But with every passing week, more teams get eliminated, leaving them with little to play for. Each week […]

Christian McCaffrey Top Choice Despite Matchup

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will take on an elite Baltimore Ravens defense at home on Monday night. The NFL's top running back has a challenge this week, no doubt, as Baltimore has allowed the sixth-fewest points to running backs in fantasy. McCaffrey eats tough matchups for breakfast though. The 49ers have faced […]

De'Von Achane Expected To Suit Up Against Dallas

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (toe) is expected to play in Week 16 versus Dallas. The rookie missed practice on Wednesday because of a toe injury. However, he logged limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, so there's a good chance he'll be on the field on Sunday for the […]

Kenneth Walker III Likely Good To Go For Week 16

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is expected to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old is coming off a strong performance in Monday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles, running for 86 yards and a touchdown off 19 carries. He also caught all three targets for […]

Jordan Mason With Possible Backup Role In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason might spend a third consecutive game as Christian McCaffrey's primary backup on Monday night when the team hosts the Baltimore Ravens. Last week in Arizona with usual backup Elijah Mitchell (knee) sidelined, Mason handled five carries for 20 yards, which has been par for the course for all […]

Zamir White May Head Back To The Bench

UPDATE 12/25: According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Josh Jacobs (quad/illness) will not play in Week 16. And in his place, Zamir White will start in Week 16 instead of Josh Jacobs, making him a solid RB2/FLEX option with upside. 12/24: Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White was the starter for the team […]

Joshua Kelley Finds Rock Bottom In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley may have finally hit rock bottom in a Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Kelley ran the ball just once, losing two yards.

Josh Jacobs Listed As Questionable For Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs missed the historic Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers with a quadriceps injury. Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah carried the backfield in Jacobs' absence, which would be the case if he misses again. Jacobs missed practice on Thursday before logging a limited practice on Friday. The […]

Austin Ekeler Has A Pedestrian Week 16 Game

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler had another fairly pedestrian game in a Week 16 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Ekeler ran the ball 15 times, gaining 65 yards. He also saw four passing game targets, catching three of them for 21 yards. Ekeler found some room to run against a tough Bills defense, […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Favorable Matchup In Week 16

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott could benefit from a favorable matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday evening. The veteran has made two starts in place of Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) but produced mixed results. In fact, he totaled 140 yards and one touchdown in Week 14 before being held to just 46 carries […]

Chase Brown Quiet In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 16 yards off four carries during Saturday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He added two catches for eight yards. The rookie has been more involved on the offensive end in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, Brown couldn't get anything going, although he wasn't alone, considering the Steelers defense […]
