Frank Gore Not Worth Considering In Week 14

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has continued to be heavily involved in the team's offense. He has had double-digit touches in three straight games. However, he's struggled to make the most of his touches, particularly in Week 13, when he rushed for just 11 yards on nine carries. Devin Singletary is the clear No. […]

Devin Singletary A Solid Start In Week 14

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has 55 touches over his past three games and figures to have a heavy workload once again in Week 14 against the Ravens. Singletary is averaging a remarkable 5.6 yards per carry on the year and has topped 100 yards in each of his past two games. The Ravens […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 14

It's already week 14! Time flies when you're having fun and this has been an eventful football season to say the least. We have another solid Sunday upcoming, but we'll kick things off with a Thursday match-up between the Cowboys and Bears. The Cowboys are slight road favorites, but this game is a toss-up and […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 14

It's that time of year again! While many will be caught up in the thrills of the holiday season, those lucky few who have risen to the top of their fantasy leagues will be sweating over lineup decisions in pursuit of a championship (in most league formats). To our fantasy owners who have managed to […]

Josh Jacobs Playing Through Fractured Shoulder

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) revealed on his social media this week that he's been playing through a fractured right shoulder since getting hurt against the Packers in Week 7. It hasn't appeared to slow the impressive rookie down at all, and he has 1,061 yards on 201 carries in his first […]

Royce Freeman, Von Miller Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman (ribs) and outside linebacker Von Miller (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Freeman should be able to play, but he's the clear backup to Phillip Lindsay of late and won't have much flex appeal in the first week of the fantasy playoffs against Houston. Miller missed his […]

Derrick Henry, Adam Humphries Miss Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. Henry has gone well over 100 yards on the ground each of the last three games and has five touchdowns in that span, so the Titans might just be giving his legs a rest late in the […]

James Conner, Diontae Johnson Limited Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver Diontae Johnson (illness) were limited in practice on Wednesday. Conner has been out since Nov. 14 and is questionable, at best, to return in Week 14 against the Cardinals. He would have RB2 upside, though, if he were to return in an excellent matchup and […]

The Tape Tells All - Derrius Guice Fantasy Outlook

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. This week, I'm looking at Washington running back Derrius Guice, who's finally healthy and finally getting a chance to show why people were so […]

Ronald Jones II Still The Starter

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II remains the starter over Peyton Barber. Jones was benched last week after missing a blitz pickup and saw Barber capitalize with two rushing touchdowns in the win over the Jaguars. Despite the vote of confidence moving forward, Jones is extremely hard […]

Matt Breida Taking Part In Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is taking part in practice on Wednesday. Also practicing are cornerback Richard Sherman (knee), defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) and left tackle Joe Staley (finger). Breida was close to returning last week but was ultimately held out. The 24-year-old has a much better chance of suiting up […]

Damien Williams, Darrel Williams Won't Practice

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that running backs Damien Williams (ribs) and Darrel Williams (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday. Darrel is unlikely to suit up in Week 14 against the Patriots, while Damien still has a chance to be active if he can get in some practice time later this week. […]

Dalvin Cook Says He'll Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) said he will play in Week 14 against the Lions. His shoulder issue is a pain-tolerance deal, and he's been told there shouldn't be any risk of further injury. Cook could be at risk of losing some touches to backup Alexander Mattison this weekend, but he needs to […]

Kerryon Johnson Returning To Practice

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee), who is on Injured Reserve, will return to practice on Wednesday. Johnson can't come off IR until Week 16, but he could be an option for the Lions backfield the final two weeks of the season. With most fantasy title games taking place in Week 16, it means […]

Marlon Mack Returning To Practice

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that running back Marlon Mack (hand) will return to practice on Wednesday. It gives Mack a shot at playing in Week 14 against the Buccaneers for the first time since Nov. 17 against the Jaguars. The Colts have been using a committee of Jonathan Williams, Jordan Wilkins and […]

Offensive Line Rankings Analysis: Week 14

Week 13 had the season's first snow game, a potential SuperBowl preview, and an incredible play from the Miami Dolphins special teams! If you haven't seen it have a look and come back. Now let's move onto Week 14. If you aren't in playoff contention, then this article could help you with some DFS selections. […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

If you are reading this, then you most likely are in your league's playoffs, so congrats. Now, the real work begins. There is no more "rest of season" value, as it's do or die this week. Matchups are more crucial than ever, so weigh your options carefully before pulling the trigger to spend whatever FAAB […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 14 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Jack Doyle, DeVante Parker, Derrius Guice

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Damien Williams Has Chance To Play In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) has a chance to play in Week 14 against the Patriots despite the team signing running back Spencer Ware on Tuesday. Ware will be an emergency option with Darrel Williams (hamstring) a long shot to play this Sunday. Damien Williams missed Week 13 coming out of the […]

Kalen Ballage Placed On IR, Zach Zenner Added To Roster

The Miami Dolphins placed running back Kalen Ballage (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed running back Zach Zenner off waivers from the Cardinals in a corresponding move. With Ballage now out for the final four games, it should be a combination of rookies Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin in Miami's backfield the […]

Tarik Cohen Not Worth The Gamble Against Cowboys

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will try and break a big play against the Cowboys to kick off Week 14 on Thursday night. The Dallas defense is allowing the 15th most fantasy points to opposing running backs but have allowed only one receiving touchdown to the position all season. Despite the semi-appealing matchup, Cohen […]

David Montgomery In Line For Heavy Week 14 Workload

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will take on a Dallas defense in Week 14 that is allowing the 15th most fantasy points to running backs this season. Montgomery is coming off one of his best games of the season, posting 75 rushing yards on 4.7 yards per carry with one receiving touchdown. The Cowboys […]

Panthers Fire Ron Rivera

The Carolina Panthers fired head coach Ron Rivera on Tuesday. The final straw for ownership was the Panthers getting upset at home by the Redskins in Week 13. Carolina currently sits in third place in the NFC South with a 5-7 record. Their loss this last Sunday was their fourth in a row and dropped […]

Jay Ajayi Not Expected to Contribute Much in Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi isn't expected to contribute much and likely won't have a fantasy-relevant role in Week 14. If Jordan Howard (shoulder) is forced to miss another game, rookie Miles Sanders will have a near every-down role in the Eagles backfield. Ajayi has totaled just eight touches since joining the team. Any […]

Miles Sanders Looks to Keep Rolling in Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will look to keep rolling in Week 14 against the New York Giants. Coming off an over-100 yards from scrimmage outing against the Dolphins, Sanders could be looking for more of the same against the Giants. While the Giants Defense hasn't been anything special all year, they have […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dalvin Cook came out alive of Minnesota's MNF game. Barely, though, as he had to leave the field in the third quarter with a chest injury, supposedly for precautionary reasons. Keep in mind that Dalvin Cook has yet to complete a full season […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looks like the Lions will ride with Bo Scarbrough as their leading rusher for the rest of the year after signing him a few weeks ago, but it is also true that J.D. McKissic profiles as the pass-catching tailback go-to guy […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it was reasonable to get excited about Jonathan Williams’ potential impact on the Colts offense once Marlon Mack went down injured (Williams had back-to-back 100-plus yards games of 15.7 and 21.1 fantasy points), I also suspected that couldn’t be for real […]
