Tony Pollard Likely to Make Less Noise in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard will likely step back into his limited role as Ezekiel Elliott's backup in Week 4. Pollard scored a touchdown and ran for over 100 yards in Week 3, but that was mostly in garbage time against a useless Miami Dolphins team. With Week 4 taking the Cowboys to […]

Ezekiel Elliott One of the Top Week 4 Running Backs

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is one of the top options at the position in Week 4. Traveling to New Orleans to take on the Saints on Sunday Night Football, "Zeke" should be fully unleashed for the first time this season. He simply wasn't needed at the end of a laugher against the Miami […]

Devin Singletary, Tyler Kraft Won't Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday. Both players missed the Week 3 and will likely be questionable, at best, to face off against the Patriots in a tough matchup in Week 4. Veteran Frank Gore saw […]

FanDuel, DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 9/27/19

Welcome to our first real slate of Week 5! Navy and Memphis faced off last night, and showdowns are always fun, but they don't compare to a nice four-game Friday night slate. It's a fun one, with all four games being in play. There isn't a west coast 70+ total or a team favored by […]

Corey Clement Completely Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is completely off the fantasy radar for Week 4. Clement was inactive in Week 3 due to a shoulder injury, but even when healthy he's been relegated almost exclusively to special teams. Clement has yet to record an offensive statistic and is unlikely to see much playing time unless […]

Darren Sproles Not Worth a Start in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles has been mostly phased out of the offense and is not a starting option in Week 4 fantasy matchups. Sproles had 11 touches in Week 1 and looked like a legitimate fantasy running back, but has totaled just five touches since then. He maintains his key role on special […]

Jordan Howard A Touchdown-Dependent Week 4 Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard will likely need to score a touchdown in order to make himself a fantasy-relevant option on Thursday Night Football in Week 4.

Miles Sanders Looks to Hang Onto the Ball in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will try to keep the ball off the ground in Week 4. Sanders fumbled twice in Week 3 and had seriously concerning fumbling issues in college. Still, he was able to pick up 53 yards on 13 carries and 73 yards on two catches against the Lions. He […]

Wayne Gallman Gets Chance With Saquon Barkley Out

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will get his first start of the season on Sunday with Saquon Barkley dealing with a high ankle sprain.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon's contract holdout could be coming to an end soon, although no final decisions have been made on when he will report, according to league sources.

Time to Jump Off the Cowboys Bandwagon

Through three games, the Dallas Cowboys are 3-0 while averaging over 32 points per game. At each of the four major fantasy positions, quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end, every player on the team is no worse than 11th at their position. Their kicker, Brett Maher, is 16th, and he would be higher […]

Aaron Rodgers, Packers Offense Struggling

The Green Bay Packers offense under new head coach Matt LaFleur is ranked at No. 28 in total offense after three weeks. Rodgers has thrown for only 647 yards, the second lowest total of his career through three games of a season. His 57 completions rank as his lowest total to this point in a […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 4

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Despite valiant efforts from Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (300 passing yards, 34 rushing yards) […]

Jeffery Wilson Could Be Odd Man Out Soon

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson could be the odd man out of the backfield when Tevin Coleman (ankle) returns from his high ankle sprain. San Francisco is going with a three-man committee since Coleman went down in Week 1, with Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert and Wilson all chipping in. Wilson has carried the […]

Of course, Giants fans know they can't have […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 3 Outliers

Through the first three weeks of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better picture of the fantasy landscape as offensive roles continue to solidify.

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Jamaal Williams Holds Little Value In Tough Matchup

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams holds little fantasy value for the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Aaron Jones Could Struggle In Matchup Against Eagles

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones could struggle to provide RB1 value this week in a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Todd Gurley Not On Load-Management Program

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley isn't on a load-management program. "We're not doing anything like that," McVay said.
