Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Matt LaFleur told Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official website. Brooks was set to undergo tests on his ankle earlier this week after getting injured in the Week 4 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The 26-year-old has […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property in a case stemming from a May domestic-violence incident, and although his time on the exempt list could equal time served in any potential suspension from the NFL, […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Dameon Pierce is being promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, according to Jeremy Fowler. Philadelphia needed another healthy back after Tank Bigsby was placed on injured reserve, while Saquon Barkley is considered week to week with a hamstring injury. Pierce signed with the Eagles during the offseason but […]

With Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season quickly approaching, the injuries have inevitably been piling up. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, and something that nobody wants to see happen. Injuries also make things tricky for fantasy managers. A specific injury that happened early in the 2026 season was to Minnesota Vikings […]

Fantasy managers will have to dive deeper into the rankings this week due to tons of Power 4 programs being on byes, and if you need help with start-sit calls, you have come to the right place. Below are our top 400 college fantasy football rankings for Week 6. RotoBaller's Week 6 CFB fantasy rankings […]

The running back position is always loaded with talent in college football, but that can make it tough to decide between RBs with similar outlooks. That's where we come in! Below are our top 100 college fantasy football running back rankings for Week 6. These rankings will be updated throughout the week as injury news […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) was a first-round draft pick who was selected to play on a good offense on a well-coached team. Things were looking up for the rookie, who showed flashes on film in limited action in his first two games as a pro. But injuries are inevitable in the NFL, […]

We're four weeks into the NFL season, and we've officially reached bye-week season, when fantasy managers have an extra layer of strategy to navigate. As you work through your roster choices each week, it's critical to have the right depth options available, especially at critical positions like running back. With multiple players sharing the load […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another action-packed NFL slate is in the books, and similar to Week 3, injuries stole most of the headlines. On Sunday, managers saw many high-end players exit early, including Ja'Marr Chase, Saquon Barkley, and Lamar Jackson, which further suggests the importance of stashing high-impact backups. Below, we will look at some sneaky high-upside […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jaydon Blue could be promoted to the active roster this week as the Eagles travel to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. After failing to make the Cowboys' 53-man roster, Blue signed with the Eagles' practice squad before the season. Although he hasn't suited up in a regular-season game yet, with […]

There are now four full weeks of NFL football completed for the 2026 season. That means that there is a lot of data to consider, and the fantasy football picture is coming more into focus. As players solidify their roles, injuries continue to pile up, and athletes look to break out and surprise, there are […]

Last week, there were a high number of big names who graced this article - Justin Herbert, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., Chris Godwin Jr. - and while it was just one week, none of them have me regretting my decision thus far. Yes, Harrison and Thomas both found the end zone, but neither […]

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller had six carries for nine yards and two receptions for 10 yards in the 45-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. With starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve, both Miller and veteran Alvin Kamara saw an increased workload despite trailing for most of the game. […]

Running back is all about opportunity, but opportunity means a lot more when the matchup is right. In Week 5, several backs are walking into situations where volume, game script, and defensive weaknesses could create monster fantasy performances. Jaylen Warren and Chase Brown are two names I’m especially interested in this week, and both have […]

Not only did Week 4 throw another avalanche of injuries at us, but we also saw another big FAAB "prize" in Keenan Allen follow in Jonah Coleman's "get injured after FAAB runs" footsteps. Every week brings a new reminder of what truly remains within our control! Even so, we're always ready with several pivots thanks […]

Week 4 was filled with memorable performances across all fantasy positions. However, it also served as a brutal reminder of how quickly injuries can change the outlooks for teams and fantasy managers. Things will get even more complicated in Week 5 now that bye weeks are starting. Only two teams are on bye in Week […]

Five weeks into the college football season, fantasy managers have enough information to start forming strong opinions. That can also create some of the best trade windows of the year, especially when one ugly performance, an injury, or an unsustainable touchdown streak starts carrying too much weight. Caleb Hawkins is getting plenty of work without […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (core) has officially been placed on injured reserve. This move was widely expected, according to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, but the Eagles made it official on Tuesday. Bigsby picked up a core muscle injury during the final minutes of Sunday's Week 4 loss against the Los Angeles […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson rushed 14 times for 62 yards and three touchdowns and caught one pass for five yards in his team's blowout win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. It was surprising to see Robinson have so much standalone value when backing up elite starting RB Bijan Robinson, who's one […]

Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson posted a season high in yardage during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Johnson carried the ball eight times for 42 yards in their three-point victory. He also fumbled the ball in an important part of the game, so we'll see if that impacts his playing time […]

Reports circulated on Monday that the Seattle Seahawks were on the verge of signing veteran free-agent running back Joe Mixon (foot) to their roster in the wake of placing rookie first-round RB Jadarian Price (chest) on Injured Reserve over the weekend. However, the Seahawks elected not to sign Mixon to their practice squad in the […]

The New England Patriots had veteran free-agent running back Jamaal Williams in for a workout on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Williams remains on the free-agent market after he was released by the New Orleans Saints in early March. The 31-year-old had a visit to the Chicago Bears in early August, […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) wasn't very involved in the Saints' offense in his first few games with his new team. It was a strange development, considering they opened the vaults to sign him to a four-year, $48 million contract to join the team. Etienne had a resurgent season as the […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Tyler Goodson hasn't been very involved in his team's offense this season, even though he's the clear RB2 behind starter Javonte Williams. Cowboys RB Malik Davis (hip) was set for that role, but was placed on season-ending injured reserve, clearing the path for Goodson to be second on the depth chart. […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker got his first touches of the 2026 NFL Season in Week 4, when he carried the ball three times for 10 yards and a touchdown. He only played five percent of his team's offensive snaps, and is still clearly the RB3 behind RB1 Bucky Irving and RB2 Kenneth […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Seth McGowan appears to have fully wrested control of his team's RB2 job away from DJ Giddens, the other RB on the roster aside from starter Jonathan Taylor. Giddens dealt with a knee injury in Week 2, but was a healthy scratch for Week 3, as the coaching staff decided to […]

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright disappointed fantasy managers in his team's first game since losing star back De'Von Achane (knee) to a season-ending knee injury, recording just seven rushing yards on five carries in a Week 4 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Wright was significantly outperformed by fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II, who […]

Across three games so far in 2026, New York Giants running back Najee Harris has recorded 22 carries for 88 yards and has yet to earn a single target as a receiver out of the backfield. Harris' path to consistent production in New York is blocked by the presence of Giants RB1 Cam Skattebo. As […]

It's finally that time of year when we see interesting veteran players who have some tread left on their tires but weren't on a team to start the season signing with new teams. In recent days, the most interesting veterans in this vein have been running back Joe Mixon and the still unsigned wide receiver […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that the team is getting more tests done on running back Chris Brooks' ankle after he injured it in the Week 4 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official website. Brooks finished Sunday's game with only four carries […]
