James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster Miss Practice Again

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) both missed practice for the second day in a row on Thursday, and both are not expected to play in Week 12 against the Bengals. You should've already been planning to be without both players this week. The goods news is […]

They decide who to start or sit among those in RB3 or flex consideration. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube to get all our latest […]

Devonta Freeman Missing Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Freeman is expected to miss at least another game, so he should be planted firmly on benches for Week 12 against the Buccaneers. Tampa has surprisingly been one of the best against the run in 2019, so […]

Saquon Barkley Gets Sneaky Upside Game

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley gets a surprisingly strong matchup on Sunday against the Bears. Despite the widely-held belief that the Bears are an elite defense, they actually rank 23rd in PPR fantasy points allowed to running backs at 25.7 points per game. They gave up 29.8 points to Todd Gurley and a […]

Adrian Peterson Not Spotted Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) was not spotted at practice on Thursday. If he's officially out of practice, it'll be his second straight missed day ahead of Week 12 against the Lions. Peterson is in danger of missing the game this weekend as he fights through turf toe. Making matters worse for his […]

Qadree Ollison Too Risky To Start In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison scored his first career touchdown in Week 11, a game where he also saw his first NFL action. Ollison had four carries for 11 yards in Week 11. Brian Hill is the team's No. 1 running back for as long as Devonta Freeman (foot) is out. Freeman is currently […]

Brian Hill Is A Low-End RB2/Flex Option For Week 12

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had a rough game in his first start of the year in Week 11. He had 15 carries in the game, but managed just 30 yards with them. He also added an eight-yard reception on three targets in the passing game. The Falcons face the Buccaneers in Week 12, […]

Devonta Freeman To Be Evaluated At End Of Week

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) hasn't practiced yet this week and head coach Dan Quinn said that if he can't practice before the team's Week 12 game against the Buccaneers, he won't be suiting up. Freeman is currently listed as questionable for Week 12, but one would imagine he's more on the doubtful […]

Duke Johnson Has Low Ceiling In Week 12

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson has seen some increased involvement in Houston's offense lately, including a five-catch game in Week 9, but that involvement isn't really translating into fantasy success. He continues to trail Carlos Hyde in rushing attempts and his impact in the pass game has been inconsistent all year. The last time […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Deadline Trade Targets

This is your last chance to improve your fantasy football team in a highly impactful way this week. That’s because the trade deadline is here in most leagues. You may only have a day or two left to make a significant move as you read this. So stop playing around and get serious. Don’t waste […]

Carlos Hyde Could Struggle Against Colts

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde found the end zone in Week 11, but it came after a lot of short runs that hadn't gone his way. It's fair to expect more of the same out of Hyde on Thursday against the Colts: three yard gains and a fantasy value that's entirely dependent on him […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 12) - Targets and Avoids

Sunday was one of the worst Sunday's Vegas has had all season and remaining entrants in survivor pools nearly had the same fate. However, the Vikings rallied from a 20-0 halftime deficit, the 49ers scored late, and the Cowboys win was much narrower than it should have been. The Saints, Bills, and Ravens took care […]

Colts Conundrum: What To Do With Marlon Mack Hurt

Hello, my name is Eric Samulski, and I spent all my FAAB on Brian Hill last week. Phew! I’m glad we got that out of the way. Now that that’s on the table, we can talk honestly about this week's biggest running back decision: How the Colts will replace Marlon Mack, who just underwent surgery on […]

It's already week 12! 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 Colts and Texans. T.Y Hilton and Jordan Wilkins are both questionable and play a big role […]

T.J. Yeldon Likely To Be Inactive Again In Week 12

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon was inactive for the fifth straight game in Week 11 and it's hard to imagine anything different for Week 12. Unless there's an injury or a depth chart shift in Buffalo in the coming weeks, Yeldon figures to remain inactive for games and has no business being on fantasy […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 11/21/19 (Showdown)

We only have one game on Thursday night, and it’s a showdown between Nc State and Georgia Tech. We're looking at a 46 over/under with Georgia Tech favored by just two points. It'll be a fun game and there should be plenty of offense on each side. This game is likely to be pretty close, […]

Frank Gore Should Be Benched In All Leagues For Week 12

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has been relegated to No. 2 back status in Buffalo following the emergence of rookie running back Devin Singletary this past month. Gore has 21 fewer touches than Singletary the past three games. Over that span, Gore has struggled mightily, averaging about two yards per carry while failing to […]

Devin Singletary A Solid RB2 Play In Week 12

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has had double-digit touches in three straight weeks. Over that span, he's averaged about five yards per carry and has 21 more touches than Frank Gore, who has failed to top 2.5 yards per carry in a game the past three weeks. Singletary is the clear No. 1 running […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 11/22/19 (Showdown)

We only have one game on Friday night, and it’s a showdown between Wyoming and Colorado State. We're looking at a 50 over/under with Wyoming favored by seven points. It'll be a fun game and there should be plenty of offense on each side. This game is likely to be pretty close, so we want […]

Phillip Lindsay Gets In Limited Practice

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot, wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback in practice later this week, Lindsay will be good to go for Week 12 against the Bills. The second-year back has mostly been a disappointment in 2019 while sharing backfield work with Royce Freeman in an offense that […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 12

Talk about a shocking move by Myles Garrett. The Cleveland Browns performed well against a beaten up Pittsburgh Steelers team last week, but the win was ultimately overshadowed by a fight between Garrett and Mason Rudolph on a meaningless play. After reviewing the incident, the NFL delivered multiple punishments in the form of suspensions and […]

Jonathan Williams Has Some Upside In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Williams was thrust into a major role after starter Marlon Mack (hand) left the game in Week 11. In Week 12, he'll receive a fair bit of work against the Houston Texans, but it's tough to tell how much. The Colts were up comfortably for much of their game against […]

Jordan Wilkins Is A Deep Sleeper In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins has essentially been a non-factor all season, but with starter Marlon Mack (hand) out for Week 12, he presents some deeper league sleeper potential. Running back Jonathan Williams was the hot hand in Week 11, but Wilkins is more experienced with the team. Head coach Frank Reich could opt […]

Nyheim Hines Has Flex Potential In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines saw his stock shoot up earlier this week when starting running back Marlon Mack (hand) was announced as out for Thursday's game with the Houston Texans. In PPR formats, Hines can easily get you 10 to 12 points with his ability to catch passes out of the backfield. The […]

Josh Jacobs Limited On Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) was listed as limited for Wednesday's practice, but is in no danger of missing Sunday's game versus the Jets. It's nothing new for the rookie's designation as the team is merely managing his workload after a heavy usage so far this season. Jacobs will be a fringe RB1 […]

Jordan Wilkins Taken Off Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins (ankle) got in a full practice on Wednesday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 12 on Thursday night against the Texans. Wilkins' health is bad news for those that plucked Jonathan Williams off the waiver wire this week with plans to start him in Marlon […]

No Practice For James Conner

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday. Conner made a return last week but aggravated his shoulder injury and is on the wrong side of questionable for Week 12 against the Bengals. With receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) also expected to sit out on Sunday, Jaylen Samuels could be funneled targets […]

George Kittle, Matt Breida, Robbie Gould Miss Practice

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee), running back Matt Breida (ankle) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) are all out of practice on Wednesday. Kittle is in danger of missing his third straight game. With the team playing the Packers on Sunday night, Kittle will be a very risky tight end option. You'll […]

Adrian Peterson Could Miss Week 12

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) did not practice on Wednesday and is in danger of missing Week 12 against the Lions. He was limping pretty good on Monday. Peterson got the start in Week 11, but Derrius Guice was the more effective back in his first game action since the season opener. Peterson […]
