Kyle Monangai has Earned a Consistent Role in Chicago

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has had some impressive performances during his first year in the NFL. Monangai has rushed for over 100 yards twice but has been held in check lately. Even though D'Andre Swift remains Chicago's primary back, Monangai continues to get consistent playing time in the backfield. The 23-year-old has […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (neck) was a non-participant during Tuesday's practice session with a stinger that he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Gets in Full Practice on Tuesday

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. Rodriguez was limited twice in practice last week before being ruled out for Sunday's win over the New York Giants.

Josh Jacobs Intends to Play Against Bears on Saturday

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee), who was walking with a significant limp in the locker room while wearing a stimulation bracelet around his injured knee, made it clear on Tuesday that he "intends to play in Chicago" on Saturday against the division-rival Bears, per Ryan Wood of USA Today Sports. "For me, […]

Christian McCaffrey Scores 14th Touchdown of 2025

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) popped up on Saturday's injury report with a back issue, but he looked healthy handling 22 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Titans. McCaffrey also caught his lone target of the day for 14 receiving yards. The reduction in pass volume […]

Is Alvin Kamara Out for the Season? Injury Update on Coming Back for Fantasy Football (Week 16)

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) has now missed two games in a row with knee and ankle injuries. He hurt his knee in Week 12, just after his team's bye week, early in the contest against the Atlanta Falcons, and was forced to exit. It's been a rough season for the […]

Texans Sign Jawhar Jordan to Their Active Roster

The Houston Texans signed second-year running back Jawhar Jordan from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Cardinals Place Bam Knight on Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals announced on Tuesday that they placed running back Bam Knight (ankle) on Injured Reserve, which will end his season.

Ray Davis Still has Handcuff Value in Deep Leagues

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis wasn't involved much on offense in the team's come-from-behind victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday, but he still made his presence felt on special teams, returning four kickoffs for a total of 164 yards. The 26-year-old former fourth-round selection caught his lone target in the passing game […]

With the Chiefs eliminated from playoff contention, the AFC will have a new champion for the first time since 2021. Week 15 featured a seismic shift in power across the NFL.

MarShawn Lloyd Unlikely to Play This Year

After having another injury setback recently with his hamstring, Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring, calf) is unlikely to come off Injured Reserve and play this year, according to Ryan Wood of USA Today Sports. "I'm not going to say no, but I think you can use deductive reasoning on that one," head […]

Josh Jacobs Still Managing Knee Injury

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) took another big hit in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, and if the team were practicing on Tuesday, he would not be on the field, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Bengals Unlikely to Fire Zac Taylor

Despite being eliminated from the playoffs for a third straight season in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals are unlikely to fire head coach Zac Taylor right now, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Dehner also doesn't expect the Bengals to cut ties with director of player personnel Duke Tobin, […]

Dare Ogunbowale Worthy of Deep-League Consideration?

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale has largely been a special-teamer during his nine-year career, but he has seen more work as a runner in the past two weeks. With Nick Chubb (ribs) and Woody Marks (knee) dealing with injuries, Ogunbowale scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 14. He handled a season-high […]

Keaton Mitchell on the Rise as Backfield Complement in Baltimore

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is emerging as an explosive backfield complement to lead back Derrick Henry as the Ravens push for a playoff spot in 2025. Mitchell played a season-high 39% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's shutout victory over the Cincinnati Bengals and had a season-high eight carries for 66 yards (8.3 […]

Devin Singletary a Top Handcuff Option in the Fantasy Playoffs

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was a popular waiver-wire addition following the team's Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots, when he recorded 102 scrimmage yards and a touchdown following Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s hip injury on a Monday night. Tracy had the Week 14 bye to heal up, though, and he returned […]

Since returning in Week 13 from an ankle injury that caused him to miss two games, Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine has recorded 135 scrimmage yards on 38 touches across three contests. While Bengals back Chase Brown remains the lead rusher in Cincinnati, Perine plays a third-down role that has led to a consistent […]

LeQuint Allen Jr. on the Fantasy Radar for Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. hasn't played a significant role this season behind Travis Etienne Jr. and fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten, but he is likely to see an uptick in snaps with Tuten set to miss a few weeks with a finger injury that will require surgery. Allen handled five touches for […]

Tank Bigsby Has High-End Handcuff Appeal for the Fantasy Playoffs

Across 14 games this season, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby has recorded 41 carries for 237 yards. The 24-year-old's playing time is limited by the presence of star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who dominates backfield snaps in Philadelphia. Bigsby has played double-digit snaps in just two games this season, so he holds little […]
