Kareem Hunt Outside RB2 Range In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17.

Isiah Pacheco In Flex Territory For Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day in Week 17.

The 25-year-old took a backseat to Kareem Hunt in […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Won't Practice On Tuesday

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) will not participate in Tuesday's practice. The Giants are holding a practice on Tuesday and taking Wednesday off for Christmas this week.

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

We made ourselves a fantasy roster. One that was as perfect as could be. We thought it would be easy, at least that is what some told me. Throughout the season, many things have changed, and our once-perfect roster has now seen plenty of players exchanged.  The 2025 season has been a challenge, with the running […]

Jordan Mims Has Busy Night In Blowout

New Orleans Saints running back Jordan Mims was the unexpected leader in targets and receptions in Monday's 35-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Mims caught five of his eight targets but finished with a meager 16 receiving yards. Mims also had four carries for 16 rushing yards, second only to the 28 yards that […]

Kendre Miller Has Disappointing Night In Blowout Loss

Those hoping that New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller would be the late-season add that would propel fantasy teams to the championship round of the fantasy playoffs were sorely disappointed on Monday night. Miller handled eight carriers and gained just 15 rushing yards in the 35-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He also […]

Roschon Johnson Off Fantasy Radar For Week 17

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson should be avoided in all fantasy leagues ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. While Johnson did vulture numerous touchdowns from D'Andre Swift earlier in the year, that hasn't happened as much lately due to his reduced snap counts, as well as the fact that he missed […]

D'Andre Swift Looks To Bounce Back After Poor Showing

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has not been a dependable fantasy option lately, struggling to rack up points as he deals with reduced volume, efficiency, and scoring opportunities. The veteran running back mustered just 22 rushing yards on nine carries against the Detroit Lions last week, and he hasn't finished with double-digit fantasy points […]

Najee Harris Should Be Avoided If Possible In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has been quiet as of late and will have to overcome the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 to provide value in fantasy championships. The Chiefs have been shutting down the run all season, giving up the fewest rushing yards and fantasy points to opposing running backs as well […]

Isaac Guerendo Expected To Practice On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot, hamstring) is expected to get back on the practice field on Thursday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Travis Homer Misses Monday's Practice

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (hamstring) was absent from Monday's practice session. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Homer missed Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The loss of Homer doesn't mean much for this offense considering he has only played in three games this season. He'll continue to serve as […]
