Jaleel McLaughlin Purely a Handcuff for Week 14

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin is likely to be the change-of-pace back in the rematch against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14. In Week 11, J.K. Dobbins led the Broncos' backfield and suffered an injury (foot) that would end up removing him for the rest of the season. With McLaughlin filling in Harvey's […]

RJ Harvey Profiles as an Upside-RB2 in Week 14 vs. the Raiders

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey is ready to take on the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 14 rematch. Last outing against the Raiders, teammate J.K. Dobbins (knee) led the backfield in touches, 19 to six. The Broncos desperately needed the rushing game in that matchup, as quarterback Bo Nix threw for 150 yards, […]

Bhayshul Tuten's Role has Yet to Expand

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten broke out in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers, tallying a season-high 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown. The rookie fourth-rounder left the game early with an ankle injury, but Tuten was outcarrying Travis Etienne Jr. 15 to 12 before exiting. Tuten also played a […]

Trey Benson's Return Timeline Remains Unclear

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has been sidelined since Week 4 after suffering a knee injury and being placed on Injured Reserve. Benson was a non-participant every day in practice this week, marking five missed sessions in a row, and was officially ruled out for Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. The […]

Jeremy McNichols has Deep League Appeal Against the Vikings

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols handled a season-high eight touches in Week 13's loss to the Denver Broncos, recording six carries for 30 yards while adding two receptions (two targets) for no additional yardage. McNichols has held down the pass-down responsibilities in Washington's backfield this season and has earned at least six touches for […]

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Likely Limited to Depth Role Again in Week 14

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has operated behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. as the team's lead back in recent weeks. Croskey-Merritt hasn't found the end zone since his breakout game back in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and hasn't come close to replicating the efficiency he displayed over the first five weeks. Since […]

Tank Bigsby Coming Off of Dip in Usage

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby only saw the field for one play in last week's loss to the Bears, getting out-snapped by fellow RB Will Shipley. Granted, Shipley himself only got four snaps on offense. Philly had to rely more on the passing game against Chicago due to trailing for over three full quarters, […]

Saquon Barkley Looking to Snap Scoreless Streak

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has now gone four straight games without a touchdown, which is his longest scoring drought since 2021. Barkley has also seen a dip in usage over the last couple of weeks, averaging 11.5 carries in his last two outings compared to the 20 he was averaging in Weeks 7-11. […]

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Offers Touchdown Upside in Week 14 Against Minnesota

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has emerged as the team's RB1 over the past few weeks. Rodriguez has scored in three of the past four games, and despite leaving early during Week 10's loss against the Detroit Lions, he did start that game and has handled the bulk of the carries since. In […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Now in the Shadow of Rookie RB

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was finally back to full speed during last week's win over the New York Giants. Stevenson missed three games due to a toe injury. During that time, rookie TreVeyon Henderson went wild with five touchdowns in three games. The rookie back has rushed for over 60 yards in […]

Kenneth Gainwell Carries PPR Flex Value in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell had just seven touches in last week's loss but will look to bounce back against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Despite the light workload in Week 13, Gainwell logged a 42% snap share and posted 25 receiving yards, good enough for third-most on the Steelers. His contributions in […]

Jaylen Warren a Rock-Solid RB2 Against Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has scored in two consecutive contests and will look to keep that momentum going in a Week 14 road matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been below average against the run this season, surrendering over 4.4 yards per carry and 11 rushing touchdowns. Baltimore has also struggled […]

Isiah Pacheco Running Out of Time to Make an Impact

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco returned in last week's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday for the first time since Week 8 due to a knee injury. It wasn't a triumphant return for the 26-year-old, as he played a season-low 30% of the snaps and had a season-low three rushing […]

Rachaad White is Tough to Trust for Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is expected to have a reduced role in the offense going forward. White took over as the lead back for over a month while Bucky Irving missed seven games due to a shoulder and foot injury. During that time, White offered increased fantasy value, including two weeks with […]

Bucky Irving has RB1 Value for Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Irving was limited in practice to begin the week, but he is ready to go for this important divisional matchup. Irving made his return to the field last week after missing seven […]

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Continues to Lose Work in Washington's Backfield

Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt was a trendy late-round upside pick in fantasy drafts in the fall, with Washington's backfield plans unsettled. He became even more popular off the waiver wire early in the season after Austin Ekeler suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. The 24-year-old seventh-rounder out of Arizona had double-digit rushing attempts […]

Emanuel Wilson Back to Minimal Role in Packers Backfield

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was a popular waiver-wire pickup after starting RB Josh Jacobs injured his knee in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants. Wilson took full advantage of Jacobs' absence in the team's Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, carrying the ball a season-high 28 times for […]

Ollie Gordon II Playing Very Limited Role

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has been relegated to a minimal role recently, as the team gives more work to De'Von Achane. Gordon has gotten three carries or fewer in three of his last four games, and he only got 10 yards on his three carries against the Saints last week. He played […]

Woody Marks Officially Good to Go for Sunday Night Game

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (ankle) was able to practice in full on Friday and has been cleared to play on Sunday night in a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road. Marks tweaked his ankle in the Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts but eventually returned to the game, […]

Kenneth Walker III Cleared to Play in Week 14

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. As expected, Walker will play through the same injury he had last week. It didn't seem to impact his performance, as he rushed for 56 yards on 13 attempts in […]

Sean Tucker Set for Reduced Role Going Forward

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker completely disappeared during last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Before that game, Tucker had seen double-digit rushing attempts in three of his last four contests. During last week's game, Tucker rushed the ball twice for zero yards. The return of Bucky Irving appears to have ended Tucker's […]

De'Von Achane Is An Elite RB to Build Around

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the top running backs in the NFL over the last few weeks, and he's a great play this week against the Jets. Achane has at least 120 rushing yards to power the Dolphins to three straight wins in his last three games against the Bills, […]

Emari Demercado Ruled Out for Week 14

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. There was some hope that Demercado would return this weekend after getting in two limited practice sessions. Unfortunately, Demercado sat out of Friday's practice and will be held out for a third straight […]

Omarion Hampton Upgrades to Full Practice on Friday

Los Angeles Chargers rookie first-round running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) ditched his non-contact jersey on Friday and was upgraded to a full participant in practice, according to the team. Hampton returned to practice last week and put in four straight limited sessions (including Thursday) before being a full-go on Friday, which is a sign that […]

MarShawn Lloyd Won't Make Season Debut in Week 14

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out and will not come off Injured Reserve to play on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the division-rival Chicago Bears in Week 14, according to the team. Lloyd finally returned to practice for the first time earlier this week, but he's not ready to […]

Off the Injury Report, Josh Jacobs is a Locked-In RB1 Against Bears

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is off the injury report following a full practice session on Friday, and he'll be good to go for the Packers' Week 14 matchup with the Chicago Bears. Jacobs has been an awesome fantasy option this season, but last week was one of his least-productive fantasy outings […]

Cloudy Week 14 Outlook For Aaron Jones Sr.

Running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) of the Minnesota Vikings does not have an injury designation when the Vikings play host to the Washington Commanders in Week 14, but he should be considered a risky flex option for fantasy lineups. The veteran has drawn more playing time than backfield mate Jordan Mason, but departed last […]

Lineup Appeal For Jordan Mason In Week 14

Running back Jordan Mason of the Minnesota Vikings enters a Week 14 game with some lineup appeal as an RB3/flex candidate with the Washington Commanders coming to U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings have struggled immensely in recent weeks, but could see a reprieve in the form of a lowly ranked Commanders defense. Through 13 weeks, […]

Omarion Hampton Out of Non-Contact Jersey

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) practiced without a non-contact jersey on Friday, a positive sign for his chances to play on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, Kris Rihm of ESPN reports. Hampton said on Thursday that he feels great and is ready to get back on the field, but the […]
