Isiah Pacheco Too Inconsistent To Be Trusted

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been a shell of his former self since returning from injury.

The 25-year-old handled five carries for 18 yards against the Texans, compared to eight carries, 44 […]

Ty Johnson Tough To Trust In Backup Role Against Chiefs

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson remains an unreliable fantasy option ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Saquon Barkley Fit For Another Huge Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley enters Sunday's NFC Championship matchup against the Washington Commanders with a history of dominance. In 11 career games against Washington, Barkley has averaged 137.5 scrimmage yards per game, the most by any player against any opponent in the Super Bowl Era (min. 10 games). This season, he torched the […]
