Week 2 brought clarity to some unique situations after a puzzling opening week. Last week’s list had positives, with the Broncos, Rams, and Jets offenses all looking good. Meanwhile, Jalen Coker and TreVeyon Henderson looked like potential breakout candidates. The list also had negatives, with the Giants and Cardinals falling back to earth and Carson […]

Let's look forward to Week 3 and beyond with an updated rest-of-season rankings sheet. There were myriad injuries and role changes across the NFL last weekend, which means we've got plenty of adjustments to make and reactions to fire off. Let me help out with these Week 3 fantasy football half-PPR and full-PPR rankings for […]

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt is trending down in fantasy football, largely due to his declining role on offense. Croskey-Merritt went from a 49% snap share and 16 carries in Week 1 to a 37% snap share and 12 carries in Week 2. Meanwhile, versatile teammate Rachaad White has stepped into a larger role […]

After a high-octane first week of NFL action, scoring declined significantly in Week 2. According to ESPN, the 4.5-point plunge in points per team tied for the third-largest dip from Week 1 to Week 2 since 1970. This was visible across fantasy leagues, as even a mediocre performance from your squad may have been enough […]

If nothing else, Week 2 of the 2026 season should have served as a stark reminder that it is not wise to overreact to Week 1. Some players who started hot have cooled off, and many players who disappointed to begin the year have already course-corrected (sorry, Marvin Harrison Jr. managers). And then, of course, […]

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd rushed for 11 yards on four carries during Thursday's Week 3 loss against the Atlanta Falcons. He also caught two of his three targets for a modest seven receiving yards. Somehow, Lloyd's 11 rushing yards led the team, and his four carries tied with Chris Brooks for the […]

Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson played a minimal role in his team's 35-14 Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, recording four carries for six yards and one reception for 10 yards on three targets. With Packers RB1 Josh Jacobs currently on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List, Johnson has been given […]

Week 2 was a bloodbath. If you came out unscathed, consider yourself lucky. Many other fantasy managers did not have that fortune. A whole lot of fantasy managers out there are in need of replacement options. There are also disappointing players who need to hit the bench. We are still early in the season, but […]

The disparity between what we saw in Week 1 and what played out in Week 2 was ridiculous. Every team that got blown out the first week of the season ended up winning outright last weekend. Hopefully we can start developing consistent patterns now that we’ve entered the third week of the year. Something to... […]

This is a smaller late-night slate than last week, but we have more star power on this slate. Georgia Tech's new-look offense heads to Palo Alto to pad some stats, but that's just the beginning. We have a Mountain West showdown in Reno with Air Force in town. The marquee matchup features some sailgating in […]

The nighttime is the right time at DraftKings! DraftKings' night slates feature marquee prime-time matchups in a standalone slate, rather than FanDuel adding all the biggest games to one monster slate. Last week's prime time slate was very entertaining. We should see more of the same this week. USC and Oregon have a nice little […]

We have another 12 games for the main slate this week. Unlike last week, most of the QBs are more affordable. However, they need to be, since RB is loaded with great options in great matchups. Most teams are beginning conference play this week, but not every team in every conference is good. These gargantuan […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson totaled 29 carries, 194 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Thursday's Week 3 win over the Green Bay Packers. He also caught two passes for an additional 19 receiving yards, bringing him to a total of 213 scrimmage yards in the effort. This was a truly exceptional performance, […]

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey (hamstring) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to the team. Harvey came out of the Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury and was held out this past […]

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday, according to the team. Dobbins was pulled from Sunday's Week 2 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars with hamstring cramping and never returned. He only handled 10 carries for 36 yards and was not involved as a receiver before turning […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has had a quiet start to the 2026 season, recording 24 carries for 54 yards and seven catches for 44 yards on seven targets across his team's first two games. While Judkins remains the clear RB1 in Cleveland, he hasn't quite dominated backfield work the way fantasy managers were […]

Denver Broncos rookie fourth-round running back Jonah Coleman (ankle), who was one of the most popular waiver-wire targets in fantasy football leagues this week, was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, fellow RBs J.K. Dobbins (hamstring) and RJ Harvey (hamstring) were both upgraded […]

According to James Palmer, Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson is set to see more opportunities on Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Palmer noted that the second-year back needed time to adjust to the scheme, but he appears primed for a bigger workload tonight. In Week 1, the former Iowa standout did not […]

Hey RotoBallers! Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books, which means it's already time to look ahead to Week 3. Even though we may only be two weeks into the season, managers now have access to more data and can begin to identify lineup landmines much earlier than before. Below, we will […]

Philadelphia Eagles backup running backs Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) were both listed as non-participants in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, according to The Athletic's Zach Berman. Meanwhile, starter Saquon Barkley (neck, shoulder), who left the game briefly in the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans after suffering […]

Free-agent veteran running back Nick Chubb is returning to Cleveland to sign a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Browns, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Chubb previously announced his retirement from the NFL at the end of August after spending seven of his eight seasons in the league in Cleveland. The […]

Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price (chest, shoulder) was seen running out to practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, and he appears headed towards playing in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders, according to Brian Nemhauser. Price was banged up in the Week 2 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, but […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (neck, shoulder), who was seen practicing on Thursday, said that his "MRI went well" when asked about his prospects for playing on Monday night in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. McLane was also told that Barkley expects to play against […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) was seen back at practice for the portion open to the media on Thursday, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Jones had a much bigger workload in the Week 2 win over the division-rival Chicago Bears on Sunday with Jordan Mason (thumb) on Injured Reserve, carrying the […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, according to Alan Saunders of PGH Steelers Now. Meanwhile, backfield mate Rico Dowdle (toe) was a non-participant for the second day in a row after he suffered a toe injury in the Week 2 loss […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Etienne has gotten off to an underwhelming start to his first season in New Orleans, recording 109 scrimmage yards and zero touchdowns on 26 touches across two games. While the […]
