Charbonnet missed all of training camp this summer and was placed on the […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains mired in a legal situation after, according to police, he assaulted his girlfriend before the season started. He hasn't been to practice or played a game since being placed on the NFL Commissioner's Exempt List. Recent developments haven't particularly gone in his favor, which further colors his […]

New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) practiced in full all week and was not on the team's final injury report on Friday, clearing the way for him to make his season debut on Sunday in a Week 2 matchup against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, per the team's official website. The 23-year-old former […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins had a rough time establishing a run game in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and he could see more of the same in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He carried 12 times for 33 yards in the opening week, good for 2.8 yards per carry. He […]

Denver Broncos second-year running back RJ Harvey (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in Week 2 against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the team. Harvey did not practice on Wednesday before putting in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. He could be considered a game-time decision on Sunday, so fantasy managers should check […]

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Kaelon Black (groin) is listed as questionable to play in the team's Week 2 contest on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Black popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday and was listed as limited, the first sign that he might […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is set for another huge week as the Silver and Black travel to Los Angeles to face the Chargers.

Hey RotoBallers! Even though the season is just getting started, it's never too early to address the "roster cloggers" at the back end of your bench. These players may have looked like sneaky picks on draft night, but recent events have hurt their fantasy upside. Below, we will spotlight four players who have found themselves […]

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Emmett Johnson displayed his elusiveness and pass-catching ability in Week 1. Johnson rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught two passes for 44 yards. Both of his catches led to explosive plays, one for 19 yards and the other for 25 yards. The rookie showed that the Chiefs […]

Now that Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (finger) will miss at least four games on injured reserve, fellow running back Aaron Jones Sr. is a solid RB2 option as the Vikings prepare to play Chicago in Week 2. What certainly looked to be a backfield split that slightly favored Mason is now a backfield […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker was the heart and soul of the offense on Monday night in Week 1. Walker handled 23 carries for 173 yards and a touchdown as well as three catches for 18 yards and another score. The 25-year-old looked unstoppable facing one of the toughest defenses in the league, […]

Mostly limited to deep sleeper consideration during the offseason, Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne could have an elevated role sooner than expected ahead of the Vikings' Week 2 trip to Chicago. The Minnesota backfield is in need of assistance now that Jordan Mason (thumb) will miss at least a month, vacating his rushing-first role […]

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal emerged as a useful contributor for fantasy managers at points during the 2025 season, recording 779 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 171 touches across 13 games. However, much of Vidal's production came in games where Chargers RB1 Omarion Hampton was sidelined by an ankle injury. With Hampton […]

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine was listed on the team's injury report this week with an illness. The illness prevented Perine from practicing Thursday and Friday, but his absence from the final injury report suggests he's ready for the game. The veteran rusher manned the RB2 role in the Bengals offense against the Tampa […]

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown will face the Houston Texans on the road in Week 2. Brown put together a great fantasy performance last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, racking up 78 total yards, five receptions, and a touchdown. Brown's real-life contributions were fairly inefficient, but they equated to 18.8 PPR fantasy points. […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins had a rough game in his team's 34-10 Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, recording 12 carries for 33 yards and two catches for 17 yards on two targets. Judkins remains Cleveland's undisputed RB1 and should dominate early-down touches in the Browns backfield. However, Cleveland appears likely to […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (hamstring) has been cleared to play Sunday against Minnesota, according to Adam Schefter. Monangai was limited Wednesday and Thursday after the hamstring issue landed him on the injury report, but he won't carry a game designation into the weekend. The second-year back made the most of his work in […]

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (ankle/knee) is off the injury report and cleared for Sunday's game against Minnesota, according to Adam Schefter. Swift was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but neither issue will carry a game designation into Week 2. He is coming off a huge opener against Carolina, rushing 18 times for […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell made his team debut against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Gainwell is expected to have a significant role in the backfield after recording a career-high 73 receptions last season with the Steelers. The 27-year-old had a forgettable start to his Bucs career in the loss to the Bengals. […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving looks to build off his strong season opener versus the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Irving was great on the ground and had a ton of success through the air as well in Week 1. He rushed eight times for 45 yards and a touchdown. He also hauled […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby was not involved in the offense in a Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders. Bigsby played just six offensive snaps, rushing once for three yards. According to rbsdm.com, Bigsby had an EPA of -0.3, albeit on one rush. He played well behind starter Saquon Barkley (39 offensive snaps) […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed 15 times for 83 yards and added one reception that went for minus-three yards in a Week 1 victory over the rival Washington Commanders. Barkley did not find the end zone and was a non-factor in the passing game, but he did average 5.5 yards per carry, thanks […]

Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters on Friday that running backs Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier are "gonna rotate," according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "They are. This is a long season." LaFleur continued. In the Week 1 upset win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Allgeier played 59% of the offensive […]

We have another 12 games for the main slate this week. We have five quarterbacks coming in at $9K or more, and one of them doesn't even start! The pricing has tightened up this week, making value plays that much more important. There are no FCS teams on the slate, but there are some FBS […]

Week 2 is here! After an exciting Week 1, we learned a lot about players' roles and usage, and we'll look to sort through all of that in Week 2. There are also a ton of injuries going around, so things can be touch and go until we get final actives and inactives on Sunday... […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. (hip) should be much more involved after playing only one offensive snap in the opener. Head coach Liam Coen told Ryan O'Halloran that he "fully anticipates" Allen returning to a regular role on third downs. That was Allen's specialty as a rookie. He logged 146 third-down snaps last […]

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani earned a 46% snap share in Week 1 against the New England Patriots. He only carried the ball eight times for 29 yards, but his snap share should not be overlooked. While he should be nowhere near lineups in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, Holani is a wait-and-see […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price was the clear lead running back in his Week 1 NFL debut. He led the Seahawks in carries with 10 and led Seahawks running backs in snaps. Price only played 48% of the snaps, but he was explosive, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. His snap share seems likely to […]
