Josh Jacobs Having A Quiet Preseason
Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs hasn't stolen many headlines this preseason, but he's proving he belongs on an NFL field. The first-round rookie had a flashy showing on one Week 2 drive, showing great vision and explosion through the line as he picked up 21 yards on four carries. The Raiders drafted Jacobs in […]
Stop That Hype Train! Ronald Jones
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter 2019 with high offensive expectations under new Head Coach Bruce Arians. In 2018, the Bucs were third in total offense with 6,738 yards. They led the league in passing with a total of 5,125 yards, which accounted for 76 percent of their total offense. Rushing the ball, however, was a […]
T.J. Yeldon Leads Bills In Receiving On Friday
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon was one of the highlights of the team's passing game on Friday, catching three of his four targets for 51 yards. He had a 31-yard reception that was the team's biggest gain on the day. Yeldon didn't have the most effective rushing game, carrying the ball three times for […]

LeSean McCoy Has Solid Showing Against Lions
Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy had a strong game in the team's third preseason game on Friday, rushing the ball six times for 37 yards, good for 6.2 yards per carry.

Deeper Dynasty Sleepers to Stash (Premium Content)
Sleepers come in all shapes and sizes in fantasy football. It could be the undrafted free agent that teams passed over on draft day. It could be a third-string RB that suddenly ascends to relevance.

Kerryon Johnson Sees Light Workload
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson again saw a light workload during the Lions Week 3 preseason matchup against the Bills. The Lions, and Johnson, seem to be content with letting him see a few touches each preseason game to see some live action but not enough to really risk injury. Johnson had two carries […]
Kenjon Barner To Be Main Kick Returner
Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that running back Kenjon Barner will "lead the way for us" at the return position. It doesn't mean much unless you're in a deep league that counts return yardage. Barner, 30, played in nine games with the Patriots and Panthers last year and ran the ball just 19 […]
Dare Ogunbowale Impressing With Route Running
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale has outperformed veteran Andre Ellington in the battle for the third-down role, although Ellington has familiarity with head coach Bruce Arians' offense from their time in Arizona. Ogunbowale looks powerful between the tackles and is a very strong route runner. "Just being able to finish runs ... [Ogunbowale's] […]
Peyton Barber Ahead Of Ronald Jones II?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, who led the team last year with 871 rushing yards and five touchdowns, has gotten first-team carries ahead of Ronald Jones II this preseason. Barber is good at getting yards after contact and is more trustworthy with the ball in his hands. Jones was gaining steam after a […]
Darwin Thompson is Getting Goal-Line Work
Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson is reportedly getting goal-line work with the first-team offense. It appears at this point that Thompson has passed Carlos Hyde on the depth chart. Damien Williams, Darrel Williams and Thompson are expected to be the backs for Week 1. Hyde doesn't play special teams or really offer the Chiefs […]
Cowboys Confident Ezekiel Elliott Deal Will Be Done By Opener
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones is confident that the team will strike a deal with running back Ezekiel Elliott before Week 1 against the Giants. The Cowboys have had an offer on the table for nearly three weeks that would make Elliott the second-highest paid back ahead of Le'Veon Bell's $13.125 million average […]
Questions At Left Tackle Could Hurt Lamar Miller's Value
Offensive-line play is crucial to success in fantasy football, and the Houston Texans reportedly have an issue on their hands as they try to fill the most important offensive-line position, left tackle. The team signed Matt Kalil this offseason, but the veteran hasn't been at practice since Aug. 14, which has opened a spot for […]
Ezekiel Elliott Returns To Cabo
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has returned to Cabo to train. The Cowboys reportedly offered Elliott a deal to make him the second-highest paid running back in football, but his return to Mexico seems to suggest that Elliott wasn't happy with the deal. While he's still training and seems to be in game shape, […]
Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Cowboys
Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson is expected to make his Texans debut in Saturday's preseason meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. A hamstring issue had kept Johnson sidelined since being acquired by the Texans in a trade with Cleveland, but we'll finally get to see a hint of how the Texans will use him. Johnson's […]
Samaje Perine Scores Washington's Only Touchdown Thursday
Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine carried the ball four times for 16 yards in Thursday's preseason game, with his highlight coming in the form of a three-yard touchdown trot. Perine's teammate and ostensible lone competition for the fourth RB spot, Byron Marshall, racked up only 11 yards on as many carries. Neither Perine nor […]
Adrian Peterson Doesn't Play Thursday
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson did not play on Thursday night against the Falcons, ceding the backfield work to Derrius Guice and Chris Thompson instead. Both had positive showings in his absence, especially Guice, who had not played a live game since tearing his ACL in August 2018. There's not much to see here […]
Justice Hill Rushes For Eight Yards on Thursday
Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Justice Hill gained a total of eight yards on seven carries in Thursday night's preseason game against Philadelphia. After rushing for 49 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore's Week 2 preseason matchup against Green Bay, Thursday night's Week 3 performance was unimpressive. While Hill's individual performance may not have been […]
Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC South
There are some sleepers that I personally won't recommend. I refer to it as the "friends at work" rule. If you're reading this, you play fantasy football. If you play fantasy football, you're likely to talk about it with someone else. If you talk about it with someone else, it's very likely that at the […]
Second-Year Players That Will Surge
Rookie players don't always pan out in the NFL and in fantasy football. Sometimes it takes a great landing spot or an injury for a rookie to become relevant early on. This list includes some second-year players that either disappointed in 2018 or did okay, but look to take a step forward in 2019. The […]
How to Approach the Patriots Backfield in 2019
Success for a running back in fantasy football is largely about volume. Workhorse backs who dominate snaps are ideal, committees who rotate depending on the game script are a problem. Less certain backfields start to become much more prevalent in the middle rounds and beyond in fantasy drafts, and deciding how to approach each one […]
Stop that Hype Train! Derrius Guice
The Washington Redskins are a team that looks to be devoid of fantasy options that get owners clambering over each other to select. Currently, there are a number of question marks over the offense- far more questions than answers in fact. However, that doesn't seem to have stopped the hype around Derrius Guice who is […]
Derrius Guice Impressive In First Preseason Action
Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice finally got onto the field in the team's third preseason game Thursday, and he showed fantasy owners what they've been looking for. He rushed 11 times for 44 yards and hauled in his only target. Simply having been medically cleared to participate is a massive step in the right […]
Curtis Samuel Goes For A Pair Of Catches
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel finished with two receptions for 16 yards during Thursday’s loss to the New York Giants. The 23-year-old was targeted three times on the night and outproduced most of the receivers on the roster, including D.J. Moore, who caught only one pass for three yards. He continues to look impressive […]
