James Cook a Touchdown-Dependent RB1 in Tough Matchup vs. Falcons

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook will face one of his toughest challenges of the season when he takes on Atlanta's sixth-ranked run defense on Monday night. The Falcons have excelled at controlling time of possession and limiting offensive opportunities, though they've allowed a 44.7% scoring rate on drives, leaving the door open for Cook […]

Samaje Perine Still Not a Practical Fantasy Option in Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine had only 52 yards off nine carries in the first five games of the 2025 campaign, adding four receptions for eight yards. While most assumed Chase Brown would lead the way out of the backfield this season, fantasy managers are still disappointed with Perine's lack of involvement and production. […]

Michael Carter a Possible Flex Play in Week 6?

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter leap-frogged the rest of the depth chart when he was elevated from the practice squad last week. After James Conner (ankle) and Trey Benson (knee) both went down for extended periods of time, Carter saw 23 touches and 57.4% of the offensive snaps. Leaving Emari Demercado and Bam Knight […]

Isaiah Davis Unlikely to See Heavy Workload in Difficult Week 6 Matchup?

With New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) currently on Injured Reserve, fellow Jets back Isaiah Davis is in line to be the team's RB2 behind Breece Hall. In New York's first full game without Allen in Week 5, Davis saw a limited workload, recording 33 yards from scrimmage on four total touches. In […]

Kyle Monangai Eyeing Bigger Role in First Game Following Bye

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai will look to build on his growing role coming out of the team's bye week. Through four games, the seventh-round pick has logged 17 carries for 62 yards and added three receptions for 23 yards. Monangai did not practice on Thursday with a thigh injury, but was a […]

D'Andre Swift Looks to Reignite Season in Tough Matchup vs. Commanders

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift will look to bounce back after a sluggish start to the 2025 season. Through four games, Swift has logged 56 carries for 187 yards and two touchdowns, adding 13 receptions for 85 yards through the air. It's been an inefficient stretch for the former second-round pick, averaging just 3.3 […]

But not to worry, we are here to help make these trade decisions and build winning lineups […]

Chase Brown Still Worth a Start Despite Tough Matchup on Tap

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown hasn't played well this season. After scoring a touchdown in the Bengals' Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns, the 25-year-old hasn't visited the end zone since then. He only had eight carries for 27 yards in Week 5 versus the Lions. Fortunately, Brown made up for it by […]

Trevor Etienne Set for Increased Workload in Week 6

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Trevor Etienne is in line for an increased workload in Week 6. Over the past two weeks, Etienne has totaled 62 scrimmage yards on 12 touches, showing flashes of potential in limited opportunities. With Chuba Hubbard (calf) expected to miss his second straight game, both Rico Dowdle and Etienne should […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Firmly an RB2 Against Seahawks

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had a quiet Week 5, but should have a better week this week against the Seattle Seahawks. Etienne Jr. only had 12 rushing attempts, his lowest of the season, and Trevor Lawrence vultured two red zone touchdowns. If the bell-cow back can find the endzone again this week, […]

Justice Hill an Extremely Volatile Play in Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has hit one very high output among many lows so far this season. His biggest value continues to be in full PPR formats, and the fact that the Ravens' defense has been so terrible that the offense has to abandon the run early. Hill has only registered one week […]

Derrick Henry Looking More Like an RB2 for Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry continues to see his fantasy value diminish each week. In half-PPR formats, he's finished in RB1 territory only one time and has scored double-digit fantasy points twice. He only has one more touchdown than he does fumbles, and he still doesn't play any part in the passing game. Their […]

Rico Dowdle, Michael Carter, Hassan Haskins: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 6

By the very nature of the position, running backs take a lot of hits each year. As a result, the position tends to be a place with plenty of turnover during an NFL season. As starters go down with injuries, other options emerge as strong plays and can contribute good numbers for your fantasy football […]

Kenneth Walker III a Low-End RB2 in Week 6

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III checks in as a low-end RB2 once again in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Walker continues to split time with running back Zach Charbonnet in Seattle's backfield. The Jaguars are 18th against opposing running backs in fantasy. As such, there should be running lanes available for Walker. […]

Zach Charbonnet Continues to Remain Touchdown-Dependent

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is a touchdown-dependent flex option in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Charbonnet has taken firm control over Seattle's goal line running back role, but his general efficiency has been atrocious. Charbonnet is averaging 2.75 yards per carry this season. He has yet to exceed 4.0 yards per carry […]

Rico Dowdle Primed For Another Big Workload in Week 6

Dowdle erupted for 234 total yards and a touchdown on 26 touches in Week 5 against Miami in his first spot start of the year. Dowdle may have […]

DJ Giddens Remains a Quality Handcuff Heading Into Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens was busy in a Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Giddens saw his largest workload since back in Week 1 as he took five carries for 22 yards and failed to corral his lone target in a 40-6 blowout win over Las Vegas. The rookie running back […]

Jonathan Taylor a Locked-in RB1 in Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been one of the best players in fantasy through the first five weeks of the season. The veteran running back has accumulated 480 rushing yards while adding seven all-purpose touchdowns so far. He will look to stay hot in a Week 6 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. […]

Who Should I Trade For? Who Should I Trade Away?

But not to worry, we are here to help make these trade decisions and build winning lineups […]

Dylan Sampson Not a Recommended Fantasy Option in Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 6. After an encouraging Week 1 performance, which saw him catch eight passes for 64 yards, Sampson has become an afterthought in the Cleveland offense ever since Quinshon Judkins joined the fold. The Steelers have been solid against […]

Quinshon Judkins a Solid RB2 Heading Into Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is off to a red-hot start to his career. Judkins has gained at least 82 rushing yards in three straight games while finding the end zone twice. That includes the first 100-yard rushing game of his career in Week 5's 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings as he turned […]

Brian Robinson Jr. No More Than A Handcuff

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been unable to produce much of anything in the team's Christian McCaffrey-powered offense. Injuries to starters Brock Purdy (toe), Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs), and George Kittle (hamstring) have led to McCaffrey seeing snap shares north of 85% in each of the last three […]

Another Heavy Dose Of Christian McCaffrey On Tap For Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled 22 carries and caught eight passes for 139 total scrimmage yards in the Niners' 26-23 win over the Rams in Week 5. He is up to five consecutive top-12 finishes among running backs to start the season and leads the league with 130 touches. San Francisco's offense […]

Kendre Miller Looks to Carry Momentum Into Week 6

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller rushed 10 times for 41 yards in the 26-14 victory over the Giants. He out-carried starting running back Alvin Kamara 10-8 but was nearly unused in the passing game, catching just one pass for eight yards on one target. Miller's snap count continues to climb, hitting a season-high […]

Brashard Smith Should Catch Passes Against The Lions

Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith will face the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in Week 6. Smith had one carry for four yards and caught three passes for 32 yards in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. There was a lot of buzz around Smith getting more usage before Week 5, but […]

Kareem Hunt Should Continue Getting Valuable Touches in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Hunt was on the injury report with a calf injury, but practiced fully all week and was removed from the report ahead of this week's matchup. Hunt handled seven carries for 49 yards and two touchdowns in their Week 5 […]

TreVeyon Henderson a Low-End Flex Play Against Saints?

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson remains relegated to the No. 2 role on the depth chart, but he could still carve out some fantasy relevance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Rhamondre Stevenson lost his third fumble of the season last Sunday, which is one reason why Henderson could be given […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Set for Impactful Role Again in Week 6

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is headed for a sizable workload again during Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New Orleans Saints. Despite losing three fumbles through five games, he has held onto his lead-back role. Both Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson should see a slight uptick in touches with Antonio Gibson (knee) done […]
