Vikings Looking To Lean On Ty Chandler More

The Minnesota Vikings leaned on Alexander Mattison for most of the season. But following his absence in Week 15, Ty Chandler exploded for a career day. He rushed 23 times for 132 yards and one touchdown while catching three passes for 25 yards. That performance could help him land the Vikings top running back role […]

Justice Hill – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has never been a consistent fantasy football asset. The veteran running back has had a few short stretches of success but never puts together a full year’s work of fantasy production. He is the RB53 for the season, […]

Kyren Williams Remains In Must-Start Territory Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams should be started in all fantasy leagues when he faces the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. New Orleans has been respectable against the run, limiting opposing backfields to 126.2 scrimmage yards and 0.5 touchdowns per game. However, Williams has been elite when healthy, […]

Israel Abanikanda Limited In Practice Wednesday

Week 16 of the NFL season gets underway with a Thursday night matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints.

Rico Dowdle Still On The Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (ankle) can't manage to escape the injury report due to an ankle injury that kept him limited in practice on Wednesday. It's not an injury serious enough to cause him to miss any games, though, so he should be expected to play this Sunday in a big game on […]

Chase Brown Upgrades To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown (chest) was able to upgrade to a full practice session on Wednesday after he was listed as limited in practice on Tuesday. The 23-year-old came out of Saturday's overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings with a sternum injury, but it shouldn't keep him from being available in this […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Practice With Shoulder Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is dealing with a new shoulder injury that kept him from participating in Wednesday's practice. Wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) was also not at practice.

Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane Miss Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) and rookie De'Von Achane (toe) were both listed as non-participants in Wednesday's practice.

[…]

Green Bay Packers running backs Aaron Jones (finger, knee) and rookie Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) were both limited in the team's practice on Wednesday.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has been a pleasant surprise this season.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is one of the most talented offensive weapons in the NFL.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was back to a full practice on Wednesday after being listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's report.

Alexander Mattison Not Seen At Walkthrough Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) was not seen at the portion of Wednesday's walkthrough practice that was open to the media.

Jonathan Taylor Practicing In Full In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

It sounds […]

Alvin Kamara Remains RB1 Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has scored double-digit points in every start this season in PPR leagues sheerly based on volume, and that should not change heading into Week 16's Thursday night matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.
