Should I Start Chuba Hubbard in Week 8? Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks

25 million dollars across four years is a pretty penny for a running back averaging just over three yards per carry on the season. The contract for Miles Sanders is looking more and more like a mistake as the 2023 season nears its midway point. He's battled a pair of injuries (groin/shoulder) which accounts for […]

Royce Freeman An RB4/Flex Play In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman is splitting the backfield with Darrell Henderson Jr. as Kyren Williams (ankle) is out. The 27-year-old played 43% of all offensive snaps in Week 7, while Henderson played the other 57%. Freeman rushed the ball 12 times for 66 yards on the ground, which led the team. It […]

Zack Moss Still Questionable, Will Go Through Warmups

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (elbow, heel) will go through pre-game warmups on Sunday. If all goes well, the 25-year-old will play in Week 8. However, if things don't go as planned, Jonathan Taylor will get most of the work against the Saints. Taylor and Moss have split touches […]

Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 8 Matchups Analysis

Welcome back RotoBallers to our Week 8 matchups analysis and Start Em, Sit Em column for fantasy football. After brutal output from quarterbacks in Week 6, last week was much better, including four total touchdowns from three different signal-callers. It did translate across the other positions, although it wasn't always the players you expected. After suffering […]

Tyler Allgeier Has Possible RB3 Value

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier saw a majority of the snaps in the backfield last week. The second-year back carried the ball 21 times for 59 yards in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's worth noting that he saw an increased usage because lead back Bijan Robinson (illness) was kept on the […]

Bijan Robinson Remains On RB1 Radar

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson saw only one carry during last week's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie back reportedly was dealing with a headache, so the team kept him on the sideline for a majority of the game. However, it sounds like Robinson has put that issue behind him. He should […]

Derrick Henry Unlikely To Be Traded

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is unlikely to be traded ahead of the October 31st deadline. The organization has decided to hang onto the Pro-Bowl back despite receiving inquires about him this season. In theory, it makes sense for the Titans to move on from the veteran back as they sit with a 2-4 […]

David Montgomery Officially Ruled Out For Week 8

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (ribs) has been ruled out for the Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Montgomery wasn't able to practice this week. Rookie back Jahmyr Gibbs will serve as the lead back for the second week in a row. He […]

Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Weekend Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There was a lot of buzz early in the season about Gainwell being the lead back for the Eagles, especially after head coach Nick Sirianni wore a t-shirt with Gainwell on it on the first day of training camp. However, D'Andre Swift has […]

Josh Jacobs Remains An RB1 Despite Lack Of Production

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs should still be considered a low-end RB1 this week, despite a difficult matchup against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. It's no secret that Jacobs, and the entire Raiders offense, have struggled this season. The 25-year-old has just 347 rushing yards on 118 carries (2.9 YPC). He […]

Chase Brown Placed On Injured Reserve

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve. The ball carrier will now be out for a minimum of four weeks. Brown only has five total touches for 13 yards across five games this year but has been a special teams contributor. Trayveon Williams will continue to operate as the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Elevated Off The Practice Squad

The Rams elevated running back Darrell Henderson Jr. off the practice squad on Saturday ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys. With Kyren Williams (ankle) on injured reserve, Royce Freeman and Henderson were expected to split opportunities out of the backfield in Week 7 versus the Steelers. However, it quickly became evident Henderson […]

Samaje Perine Not A Safe Choice For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine hasn't had the year most thought he would. The former Bengal has just 98 yards off 26 carries and 20 catches for 215 yards through the first seven weeks. More alarming, he hasn't scored a touchdown as a runner or pass-catcher. Most had assumed Perine at least had a […]

Jaleel McLaughlin A Risky Flex Play Versus The Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has had a decent inaugural campaign. While Javonte Williams is still the No. 1 back on the depth chart, the rookie has been arguably more productive. McLaughlin has three total touchdowns on the year compared to Williams' zero, and the former has slowly been getting more involved as each […]

Alvin Kamara A Smash Play Yet Again Vs. Colts

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara faces the Indianapolis Colts in a cross-conference showdown on Sunday. The former NFL offensive rookie of the year has been fantasy PPR gold this season after he returned from suspension, finishing as a top 10 back in four consecutive weeks. Primarily the beneficiary of the Saints' ultimate check-down […]

Javonte Williams Hard To Trust In Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams hasn't had the best 2023-24 campaign. Even though there were doubts he'd be ready to start the year after flirting with the PUP list in training camp because of a knee injury, fantasy managers are still disappointed. It's safe to say the 23-year-old has fallen well below expectations, considering […]

Frank Ragnow Battling Multiple Injuries

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (toe, calf) isn't expected to practice on Saturday, marking what would be his third consecutive absence. He may work "on the side." However, head coach Dan Campbell said it's "tough" to tell if the 27-year-old would play in Monday's meeting with the Raiders. Ragnow, a multi-time Pro-Bowler, is considered one […]

Jordan Wilkins Elevated From The Practice Squad

The Browns elevated running back Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad ahead of the team's upcoming meeting in Seattle. Under normal circumstances, this move wouldn't be newsworthy. However, it may paint a bigger picture, potentially signaling an impending absence by Jerome Ford (ankle), who remains questionable for Week 8. Fortunately for Cleveland, Kareem Hunt (thigh) […]

Gus Edwards Draws A Good Matchup In Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards finally had a breakout game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. He put together 144 all-purpose yards with a rushing touchdown. Now, he and the Ravens take on an Arizona Cardinals team in Week 8 that has given up the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing running […]

Saquon Barkley Cleared Of Elbow Issue, An RB1 In Week 8

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (elbow) was listed as a full participant in practice on Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. With injury issues out of the way, Barkley is expecting another day with over 20 carries and some extra work in the passing game. […]
