Brian Hill Isn't Worth Fantasy Consideration In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill saw seven carries in Week 16 against the Jaguars and made the most of them. He rushed for 66 yards in the game, good for 9.4 yards per carry. However, Devonta Freeman stole the show, gaining over 120 total yards in the game and adding two touchdowns. Hill should […]

Devonta Freeman Is An RB2 In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had his best game of the year in Week 16, compiling 127 total yards and two touchdowns. He caught a season-high nine passes in the game. This week, Freeman and the Falcons face the Buccaneers, who have been solid against the run this year, but Freeman does so much […]

T.J. Yeldon Still Not Relevant For Fantasy Play

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for nine straight games as the team has gone exclusively with Devin Singletary and Frank Gore in their backfield. The team hasn't announced a change of plans for Yeldon in Week 17 against the Jets. However, since the Bills are locked into the fifth seed in […]

Frank Gore Should Be Avoided In Week 17

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has been held under 20 rushing yards in three straight games, despite a total of 23 carries over that stretch. With the Bills locked into the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs, it's hard to know how much the Bills will deploy Gore and No. 1 running back Devin […]

Devin Singletary Is A Decent RB2 Option In Week 17

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has seen at least 14 carries in each of his last six games. Despite scoring only one touchdown over that stretch, he's performed like a low-end RB2 through his high yardage output. This week, the Bills face the Jets in a game that's meaningless for them as they are […]

Dion Lewis (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re playing in Week 17 and you’re looking for a running back to potentially start, Dion Lewis is someone to keep an eye on. The biggest factor here is Derrick Henry and his hamstring. While he is expected to return in Week […]

Tony Pollard Not Worth a Start in Week 17

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is not worth starting in fantasy lineups for Week 17. The Cowboys will be in must-win mode against Washington, and with a possibly-ailing Dak Prescott (shoulder) leading the offense, things may go through the ground game. Ezekiel Elliott will be a near every-down player, leaving Pollard to only […]

Ezekiel Elliott a Top Option in Week 17 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will be one of the top backfield options in Week 17 fantasy lineups. "Zeke" and the Cowboys will be taking on Washington in a must-win game. The Washington defense struggles against opposing running backs, and with quarterback Dak Prescott still potentially dealing with a shoulder ailment, the Cowboys offense […]

Seahawks To Lean On Travis Homer

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team will "lean on" running back Travis Homer in a huge Week 17 divisional matchup against the 49ers. Carroll isn't ready to say how much of a workload Marshawn Lynch will have after having not played all season. The same can be said for Robert Turbin, who […]

Derrick Henry, Corey Davis, Adam Humphries At Practice Tuesday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receivers Corey Davis (concussion) and Adam Humphries (ankle) were present for the team's walkthrough practice on Tuesday. Henry was already expected to return in Week 17 in a must-win game against the Texans after the team rested him in Week 16. It looks like the Titans […]

Boston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott will lose most of his fantasy relevance in Week 17 due to the return of Jordan Howard (shoulder). Scott had some good moments and flashed some play making ability, but he was always playing behind rookie Miles Sanders and will now be behind him and Jordan Howard as well. […]

Miles Sanders an RB1 Choice in Week 17 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will be an RB1 option in Week 17 lineups despite the expected return of Jordan Howard (shoulder). Sanders has taken over the backfield in Howard's absence and should retain a key role, especially in the passing game. Sanders came up with 156 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown […]

Week 16 Surprises? Takeaways and Overreactions

In Week 16, the quarterback position was kind of a mess. Jameis Winston and Deshaun Watson were playing against each other in a potential smash spot as each opposing defense performed consistently poorly against the pass throughout the season. Instead, both Winston and Watson struggled in what amounted to an exciting, but disappointing game. Daniel […]

James White Has RB3/4 Value Against Dolphins

New England Patriots running back James White will take on a Dolphins Defense in Week 17 that is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. White himself scored a touchdown against them in Week 2 but it has been a disappointing season for the veteran. After posting 12 total touchdowns and […]

Sony Michel Back On The Fantasy Radar For Week 17

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will try and finish up the regular season strong against the Dolphins in Week 17. It has been a wildly inconsistent season for the second-year running back but he has 185 rushing yards over his last two games. Now he will take on a Dolphins Defense that is […]

Josh Jacobs Practicing Tuesday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) went through the team's walkthrough practice on Tuesday, and offensive coordinator Greg Olson said it "was encouraging." Jacobs has a chance to return in Week 17 against the Broncos after sitting out in Week 16, and this is a good start to his practice week. The impressive […]

Tarik Cohen Has Limited Value Against Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will wrap up a disappointing offensive season against the Vikings in Week 17. Cohen caught a touchdown but posted only 18 yards from scrimmage against the Vikings in Week 4, a unit that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to running backs. After posting 1,169 yards from scrimmage […]

David Montgomery Has Shaky Week 17 Value

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will go up against a Vikings Defense in Week 17 that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season. The rookie running back has shown glimpses of his immense talent but his production has suffered behind a makeshift offensive line and, at times, odd play-calling. […]

Bills Don't Plan To Rest Starters

Buffalo Bills head coach Doug McDermott said that the team doesn't plan to rest starters in Week 17 against the Jets. "I wish I could take them all out. We just don't have the numbers to do that," McDermott said. The head coach also hinted that backup quarterback Matt Barkley could see some time, so […]

James Conner's Status In Question For Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (quadriceps) availability for Week 17 against the Ravens is "very much in question," according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Conner left the game early in Week 16, and he's been battling injury for much of the 2019 season. He's been a disappointment as an RB1 as a result. You […]

Marshawn Lynch Agrees To Return To Seattle

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) picked up 33 rushing yards on six totes and caught both of his targets for 19 receiving yards in a 23-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Mike Boone Disappoints In Spot Start

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone carried 11 times for 28 yards in Week 16's 23-10 defeat against the Green Bay Packers. He added one catch for five yards. Boone, drawing the start with Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) out, failed to deliver and was phased out of the offense entirely in the […]

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 23 times for 154 rushing yards and two touchdowns with two catches on three targets for six receiving yards in a 23-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Dolphins Sign Samaje Perine

The Miami Dolphins signed running back Samaje Perine off the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad on Monday, according to a source. A former starter with the Redskins, Perine will join Miami this week and will be part of the team in 2020. Rookie Myles Gaskin (ankle) will miss Week 17, so Perine could chip in alongside […]
