Kareem Hunt Bidding For Larger Workload In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at home this Sunday. Hunt received an identical workload to Isiah Pacheco and produced similar results.

Isiah Pacheco Hoping To Take RB1 Job In Week 2

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. The defending Super Bowl champions defeated the Chiefs in their last matchup, and Pacheco only had seven rushing yards on three carries.

Cam Skattebo Is A Wait-and-See Fantasy Player

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is not a recommended fantasy start for Week 2, despite facing a favorable matchup.

In Week 2, San Francisco […]

Tank Bigsby Unlikely To Have Big Enough Role Yet For Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles just traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday, and the former Jaguar is currently listed as the third running back on the depth chart.

Saquon Barkley Looks For Another Heavy Workload In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley tied for the sixth-most rushing attempts in the league last week (18), once again proving that he has one of the most reliably-heavy workloads in the NFL.
