Kenyan Drake Dazzles

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake busted out for 110 rushing yards, 52 receiving yards and a touchdown against a stifling San Francisco 49ers Defense Thursday night. He had 15 rushes and four catches in what was supposed to be a "manageable" workload for a player they just acquired this week. Drake set the tone […]

Tevin Coleman Crashes Back To Earth

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman gained just 23 yards on 12 carries in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, contributing another 13 yards on two catches. He had a touchdown negated by penalty. Coleman's mediocre performance was a major buzzkill after his four-score explosion last Sunday as he was out-touched by backfield mate […]

Matt Breida Shows No Ill-Effects From Sprained Ankle

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries and caught two balls for 14 yards in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Showing no ill effects from a bum ankle suffered last Sunday, Breida led the team in touches and outpaced backfield mate Tevin Coleman in scrimmage yards by […]

Week 10 is here! Welcome to another lovely week of college football! Florida and Georgia will battle off in the best game of the week, but it doesn't have many fantasy implications. We do have two games with a 71 total, however, so there will be plenty of offense to play with. Let's get to […]

Alexander Mattison Is On RB4 Radar Versus Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has had at least 12 carries in three games this season and has a juicy matchup on tap in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense ranks 30th in run DVOA and has given up a whopping 10 rushing touchdowns on the year, and impact players […]

Matt Breida And Raheem Mostert Active Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) are active for Thursday’s Week 9 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (inactive) is a healthy scratch. Despite the reinjury risk, Breida is a playable RB3 against one of the worst defenses in football. Mostert is a garbage time-dependent flex […]

Jamaal Williams A Good Option In Week 9

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has a great matchup ahead of him in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Since Week 6, Williams' rushing attempts have been a bit volatile, tallying a season-high 14 against the Lions but a season-low three against Oakland the following week. Fortunately for Williams, he's seen at […]

Tra Carson Lands On Injury Report

Detroit Lions running back Tra Carson (hamstring) landed on the injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Carson surprisingly saw the most touches in Detroit's backfield in Week 8 in the first game minus Kerryon Johnson, but he still managed just 12 carries for 34 yards and wasn't targeted in […]

Le'Veon Bell Frustrated With Workload

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell said he was angry and frustrated in Week 8 because he only had 12 touches in a loss to the Jaguars. Bell spoke with head coach Adam Gase about it and said they're good. He expects to be more involved this week in a cake matchup with the […]

Aaron Jones Is A Must-Start Against Chargers

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday and reportedly was seen on the practice field on Thursday. Jones injured the shoulder during the game against Kansas City but was able to return, which bodes well for his Week 9 status. The 24-year-old Jones is coming off one of […]

James Conner Out Second Straight Day

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) missed practice for the second day in a row on Thursday, and it's looking more likely that he'll be inactive on Sunday against the Colts in Week 9. With Benny Snell (knee) out multiple weeks after meniscus surgery, Jaylen Samuels is on track to return to lead this […]

Jaylen Samuels (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After finally breaking out last week against the Dolphins, James Conner reminded us of the talent that he is and the upside that he brings fantasy owners. He’s started off slow, but had his first 100+ rushing yard game last week as […]

Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel Practice In Full

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) both returned to full practices on Thursday. McCaffrey was limited as a precaution on Wednesday, while Samuel sat out. Both players should be fine for Week 9 against the Titans. McCaffrey has weekly overall RB1 upside as the workhorse of this offense, […]

Raheem Mostert Expected To Play Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan believes that running back Raheem Mostert (knee) will be able to play on Thursday night against the Cardinals. With Matt Breida (ankle) also expected to suit up behind Tevin Coleman, that won't leave much work for Mostert, even with San Fran sporting the NFL's No. 2-ranked running game […]

Matt Breida Will Play Against Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle), who is questionable against the Cardinals, will play on Thursday night, according to a source. Breida felt good this morning and is good to go. He could see his snaps reduced in favor of Jeffery Wilson if Raheem Mostert is inactive, making him more of a risky […]

Miles Sanders Returns To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that he'll be able to play in Week 9 against the Bears. Sanders had his best day as a pro in Week 8 against the Bills, including a rushing touchdown, but he's still […]

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice Again

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Peterson gutted through an ankle sprain last Thursday in a revenge game against his old team in the Vikings, but he may have done more damage to his ankle. He's not a lock to play in Week 9 in […]

Benny Snell Jr. Has Surgery, Out 2-3 Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. (knee) underwent surgery to trim the meniscus in his knee, according to a source. It was a minor procedure but is expected to keep him out for two to three weeks. Snell suffered the injury in the Monday night win over the Dolphins. It's a hit to the […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Derek Carr, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill

The NFL trade deadline was a yawn. Let’s hope the rest of your fantasy football season isn’t. Fantasy footballers have to contend with another four-team bye week that takes all of the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons out of play. But even with a slightly smaller player pool to […]

Second-Half Surgers - Upcoming Favorable Schedules

The general gist of this entire article is that matchups matter and there are several teams that have faced either a gauntlet of defenses through the first half of the season and will see a much lighter second half or have dealt with touchdown variance that will regress. Sometimes players/teams get unlucky and that is […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9

Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through. The owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

Alfred Morris To See Work

Arizona Cardinals running back Alfred Morris is expected to see some action Thursday night with David Johnson (ankle) and Chase Edmonds (hamstring) likely out. Newly acquired running back Kenyan Drake's workload will be restricted, and Morris figures to see a lot of the carries on first and second down. The San Francisco 49ers Defense is […]

David Johnson Unlikely For Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday night. Running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) is also out, which means Kenyan Drake and Alfred Morris will share the work against the San Francisco 49ers. The team said Drake's workload will be restricted because he's so new to the team. Look for Morris […]

T.J. Yeldon Has No Value For Week 9

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive the past two weeks and figures to be the same for Week 9. The Bills have exclusively used Frank Gore and Devin Singletary as their running backs the past two weeks. Yeldon has no value in fantasy leagues at this point and would likely require injuries […]

Frank Gore Is A Low-End RB2 For Week 9

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore struggled in Week 8 against the Eagles, gaining just 34 rushing yards on nine carries. There are some concerns for Gore going forward, but for now, he remains the team's No. 1 back and the Bills have an extremely favorable matchup this week against the Redskins, who are allowing […]

Jeffery Wilson On Call As Flex Option

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson could be poised for more work in Week 9’s Thursday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. Both Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) are game-time decisions, potentially making the fourth-string Wilson the only healthy back behind Tevin Coleman. Wilson sparked fantasy buzz in Weeks 2-3 operating as […]
