Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. Sampson is trying to return from a knee injury that he suffered in the season opener, and if he can upgrade to a full […]

The 2026 NFL season rolls on to Week 7, so it's time to continue my weekly bold predictions column. This is where I'm trying to predict which players will hit their ceilings this week. I'll focus on players who you're likely on the fence with in start-and-sit decisions. Last week, I had only one good […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday for the second straight day, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. An ankle injury caused Judkins to miss the Week 6 win over the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, but barring a setback in practice on Friday, the 22-year-old […]

Sometimes bold predictions do actually work out. In last week's article, my analysis of Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was accurate, as he was bottled up in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. But he was also an interesting buy-low target before the Cowboys game. He won't be featured in this week's unlucky […]

Props, props, props - that's what I hear when the iconic 2009 song "Shots" by Lil Jon comes on. Because I can't get enough props (and at my age now, I can surely get far too many shots). If you love prop bets and have even the slightest bit of nostalgia for early 2000s popular […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) did not practice during the open portion of his team's practice on Thursday but was spotted working on the side with team trainers, per Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Love missed Arizona's Week 6 win over the Los Angeles Rams due to an ankle injury that is expected […]

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is expected to handle a substantial workload Sunday against the New York Giants, with offensive coordinator Nick Caley voicing confidence in his ability to lead the backfield. According to Aaron Wilson, Caley said Marks will get "a good amount of carries" while also backing Dare Ogunbowale as the team's […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quad) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Hall has missed the Jets' last three games with a quad injury, but it appears he is making progress and could have a chance to play in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins. Across three games before getting injured, […]

Across five games so far in 2026, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has recorded 370 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 95 touches. The 26-year-old has seen at least 15 touches in every game this year. However, Brown has struggled with efficiency, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. In Cincinnati's most recent game […]

Week 7 is creeping up on us in a hurry, and somehow we're already entering the middle of every team's schedule. Normally, I like to think we know who these teams really are by now, but with so many teams dealing with major injuries, especially to the quarterback position, it's kind of a tough week […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) wasn't with the running back group at the start of Thursday's practice, according to Sam Warren. The rookie was limited Wednesday with both injuries, which creates uncertainty around his availability for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Washington played a season-high 34.8% of […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday after missing two consecutive games, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported earlier Thursday that Barkley is expected to play Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, which would be a significant boost to Philadelphia's struggling rushing attack. The 29-year-old […]

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey has caught more passes than he has logged rushing attempts this season, with 23 receptions for 163 yards on 26 targets compared with 21 carries for 81 yards across five appearances. After managing one target and no catches in Week 5, Harvey caught three of four targets for a […]

The New York Giants could explore adding a running back before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, according to SNY's Connor Hughes, although completing a deal may prove difficult. Hughes noted that New York made a serious push for Kenneth Walker III during free agency and showed considerable interest in drafting Jeremiyah Love, which reflects the […]

The Seattle Seahawks officially activated running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Charbonnet was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and appears to be ready to make his 2026 season debut this Sunday night in a showdown against the 5-0 […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. was the fantasy RB12 from Weeks 2-5, but with teammate Jordan Mason (thumb) practicing in full after the team's Week 6 bye and expected to make his return after a four-game stint on Injured Reserve, the 31-year-old veteran is likely to find himself back in a timeshare. In […]

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) is missing another practice on Thursday and is not expected to play in Sunday's Week 7 game against the New York Giants, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Montgomery injured his groin in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Tennessee Titans and did not play […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs took part in his first official practice of the season on Thursday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. The Packers held a walkthrough practice on Wednesday, so Thursday is the 28-year-old's first full practice of the year after he was removed from the commissioner's exempt list on […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) was back on the practice field on Thursday and moving well, according to beat reporter Brian Costello. Hall has missed the past three games after injuring his quad in the fourth quarter of a Week 3 loss to the Lions, and in his absence, third-year back Braelon […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) has already been ruled out of his team's Week 7 contest against the New England Patriots. That's unfortunate, though the good news is that he's not been placed on injured reserve. We'll probably see him back by Week 8 or Week 9. The important question we should ask […]

With key running backs like James Cook and Bhayshul Tuten on byes, many fantasy managers will have to pivot to other options in Week 7. If you're in that boat or have been struggling at the RB spot all season, we're here to help you set those lineups. Check out these Week 7 fantasy football running […]

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo drew praise from offensive coordinator Matt Nagy for the way he handled last week's demotion. According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Nagy called Skattebo's response "impressive" and described him as a "true pro." The second-year back was told before Sunday's loss to New Orleans that Najee Harris […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor said he hasn't given any thought to potentially being traded following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard. Speaking with reporters Thursday, Taylor told Jake Arthur he was "just lost for words" and "definitely upset" about Monday's decision, adding that he has reflected on what he and his teammates […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (illness) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. His return is an encouraging development ahead of Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, especially after an illness hit several Tampa Bay players earlier in the week. […]

Arizona Cardinals rookie first-round running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is expected to miss Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. The rookie hasn't practiced since October 9 and missed last week's 18-16 victory over the Los Angeles Rams with a lingering left ankle injury. Love aggravated the […]

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has offered standalone value in fantasy football over the last two weeks, and that trend should continue as long as he's in the No. 2 role with Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) sidelined. Johnson has played 40% of the offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks, totaling 57 […]

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has been one of the most underrated picks from 2026 fantasy football drafts. He ranks as the overall RB13 in PPR leagues despite already having gone through his bye week, and he has logged a total of 426 rushing yards, 85 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. The 27-year-old has […]

Konata Mumpfield has an opening after Davante Adams' hamstring injury, and Savion Williams returned to an offense missing Jayden Reed and handled six touches right away. Neither has established himself as a weekly fantasy starter. Their appeal for rebuilding dynasty teams is the chance to buy before a larger role gives another manager a reason […]
