LeSean McCoy is Ready for Heavier Workload

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy should be looking at a heavier workload for Sunday's Week 3 contest versus the Baltimore Ravens. Lead back Damien Williams (knee) has already been ruled out for this one. McCoy has been battling an ankle issue, so the Chiefs will be cautious about that. Darwin Thompson is going […]

Welcome to Week 4 of the college football season! After three extremely fun weeks of football, this fourth week is looking like the best one yet. FanDuel and DraftKings have given us very different slates and while we'll be focusing on DraftKings, I'll do my best to throw in some FanDuel plays as well. Hopefully […]

Latavius Murray Not A Strong Option In Week 3

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was quiet in Week 2, totaling just seven yards on five carries, and could find himself in a similar situation this week with a tough Seahawks run defense on deck. Murray's value takes a hit with quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) out of the lineup, seeing as he likely […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable Against Saints

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Saints after suffering an injury in practice on Friday. Late-week additions to the injury report are never good, putting Penny in real danger of sitting out this Sunday. He was a risky RB3/flex in PPR leagues to begin with […]

Duke Johnson A Risky Fantasy Option

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson has gone from being a solid flex option to a much riskier one over the past couple of weeks, as Houston's increasing usage of Carlos Hyde as the team's main rushing back has cut back on Johnson's opportunity. The Chargers are an exploitable matchup on paper, but Johnson has […]

Chiefs Likely To Be Cautious With LeSean McCoy

The Kansas City Chiefs are likely to be cautious about overloading running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) in Week 3 against the Ravens with Damien Williams (knee) ruled out. Rookie Darwin Thompson could see significant playing time, along with an increased role for Darrel Williams. Shady might not be 100 percent healthy, but he'll be the […]

Carlos Hyde Could See Big Week 3 Workload

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde should continue to be the team's main running back in Week 3's meeting with the Chargers. Hyde had 20 carries against Jacksonville in Week 2 and was both effective and the clear top option over Duke Johnson. Hyde faces a defense that has allowed the third-most rushing yards to […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Will Play Sunday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Tyrell Williams will both be active for Sunday’s tilt versus the Vikings. Jacobs was dealing with an illness and a hip issue earlier this week, but will once again lead the backfield in touches after getting in a full practice Friday. He’ll be on the lower […]

Marlon Mack, T.Y. Hilton Listed As Questionable

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) and wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) are both listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Falcons. Mack has been productive in two games and should be fine to suit up this weekend, but he could see Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines become more involved against Atlanta. He's […]

James Conner, Vance McDonald Good To Go

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (knee) and tight end Vance McDonald (back) practiced in full the last two days and were taken off the final injury report for Week 3 against the 49ers. Conner is more of a low-end RB2 this weekend while at risk of losing touches to backup Jaylen Samuels. Remember, this […]

LeSean McCoy Listed As Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Ravens. Despite the questionable tag, McCoy is expected to suit up on Sunday and has been trending in the right direction after a good practice on Friday. With Damien Williams (knee) out, Shady has RB2 upside in what […]

Ty Montgomery Expected To Play Sunday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery was excused from practice on Friday due to personal reasons. Montgomery is expected to be active in Week 3 on the road against the Patriots. As expected, T-Mont has taken a back seat to the bell cow in this offense in Le'Veon Bell. The 26-year-old has just five […]

Chiefs Rule Out Damien Williams

The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out running back Damien Williams (knee) for Week 3 against the Ravens. Williams hadn't practiced all week, so it was looking this way all along. LeSean McCoy (ankle) was banged up last week, but he's good to go and should see the majority of touches in this backfield. With […]

Devin Singletary Won't Play Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) will not play in Week 3 against the Bengals. The third-round pick has 155 total yards on 15 touches this season. Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon will work in tandem in Singletary's absence, with Gore working mainly on early downs and Yeldon serving as the third-down back. Singletary's […]

Marlon Mack Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Mack could still be listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Falcons, but his return to practice puts him on the right track to suit up this Sunday. He's had the most rushing attempts […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag - Week 3

This article's content may vary week-to-week, but generally, it will be answering questions fielded from either the @RotoBallerNFL twitter account or my personal one (@RotoSurgeon). This week, the focus is on start/sit questions, and there were plenty. Every week, many of us struggle with which quarterback to start, or who to flex, and I am […]

Andy Dalton, Bengals Running Game Could Be In Trouble

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Bills, while backup left tackle Andre Smith (groin) and left guard Michael Jordan (knee) are both questionable to play. Cincy's offensive line was already shaky to begin with, and now they might be without their top two blind-side protectors […]

Tevin Coleman Out Of Walking Boot

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (foot) no longer has the walking boot on his left foot and was doing light rehab work with the team's strength and conditioning staff on Thursday. Coleman is out again in Week 3 against the Bengals, and it's unknown when the 49ers expect him back. In Week 2 […]

Devin Singletary, Tyler Kroft Not Practicing Friday

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) and tight end Tyler Kroft (ankle) both missed practice on Friday. Singletary hasn't practiced all week and appears doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Bengals. If he sits, veteran Frank Gore will be the primary back and will have RB2 upside in a good matchup. […]

Week 3 DFS GPP Value Plays For FanDuel And DraftKings

Week 2 in DFS again proved to be a somewhat surprising weekend of scoring. The leaderboard was littered with players that we are not accustomed to seeing atop the rankings. Proving that you do not have to play the top half of the board while filling out your lineups each week. Hitting on the low-cost […]

Nick Chubb a Solid RB1 Against Rams

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will look to find the end zone for a second straight week when he takes on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. Chubb ripped off a 19-yard score in Week 2, giving him 137 rushing yards through the first two games of the season. Aided by Drew Brees' […]

Ty Montgomery Still Looking For More Work

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery has been a non-factor in the offense through two weeks. Montgomery became a hot name early last week when starter Le'Veon Bell was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but Bell wound up playing Monday and out-touched Montgomery 31-6. Through two weeks, Montgomery has only five carries […]

Le'Veon Bell A Starting Option Despite Tough Matchup

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will face a tough test on Sunday against a Patriots Defense that is second in the league in allowing only 37 rushing yards per game, and they've only allowed three points through two weeks. The Jets have had a hard time getting the running game going, as Bell […]

Giovani Bernard And Company Square Off Against Bills

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard will serve as the backup to Joe Mixon on Sunday. As a result, don't expect much from the veteran when the Bengals face an effective Bills Defense. After almost starting for an injured Mixon against the 49ers, the 27-year-old was relegated to the No. 2 option and managed to […]

The Resurrected 49ers Are Filling Fantasy Needs

Last year, the San Francisco 49ers offense didn’t offer us much in terms of fantasy production. Jimmy Garoppolo and Jerick McKinnon, projected to be the team’s most relevant players, had their seasons ruined by injuries. Marquise Goodwin was a disappointment who ended up on the free-agent list. But this season’s 49ers are a different team […]
