Duke Johnson Present For Beginning Of Training Camp

Disgruntled Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson will report for the beginning of training camp, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Johnson asked for a trade this offseason after the team added Kareem Hunt. The Browns have been hesitant to trade Johnson, partially due to the fact that Hunt will be serving an eight-game suspension […]

Devin Singletary Has Breakout Opportunity At Training Camp

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary has a chance to prove he's deserving of significant playing time this year with a strong training camp. He's got three veterans ahead of him on the depth chart right now in LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon, but Gore is on the Non-Football Injury list and […]

Ryquell Armstead Opens Training Camp On PUP List

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Ryquell Armstead (hamstring) will open training camp on the team's Physically Unable to Perform list after suffering a hamstring injury during offseason team activities.

Tevin Coleman In Driver's Seat

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows expects San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman to head the charge in 2019. Having formerly worked with head coach Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta, Coleman’s incumbent role shouldn’t be a surprise after his signing this offseason. The dual-threat Coleman tallied 1,076 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in 199 touches last season […]

Frank Gore Placed On Non-Football Injury List

The Buffalo Bills placed running back Frank Gore on the Non-Football Injury list to start training camp. The injury is considered to be minor and the team doesn't expect him to miss much time. Gore is 36 years old so the last thing you want to hear coupled with his name is the word "injury" […]

Travis Frederick is "Ready to Go" for Training Camp

Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick will not need to be placed on the Active/PUP list to begin training camp. Frederick missed all of the 2018 season because of Guillain-Barre Syndrome but is now "ready to go" according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The Dallas offensive line took a noticeable step back without Frederick anchoring the […]

Jets Waive De'Angelo Henderson

The New York Jets have waived running back De'Angelo Henderson. After adding Le'Veon Bell and Ty Montgomery in the offseason, Henderson was always a long shot to make the team's final roster, so cutting him now allows him time to latch on somewhere else. The problem is that while Henderson was a popular dynasty sleeper […]

ADP Showdown - Derrick Henry vs. Marlon Mack

Depending on how you start your drafts, the running backs currently ranked as RB2s could be make-or-break picks for the 2019 season. You'll find plenty of players with questions marks among this group. Whether it be players coming off of big finishes last season or the players that find themselves splitting time to a degree. […]

Chargers Not Ready To Discuss Melvin Gordon Contract

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon recently suggested he wants to be traded if the Chargers don't offer him a contract extension, and on Monday word came that the Chargers do not currently have interest in discussing Gordon's contract situation. Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports that the Chargers are "dug in" on their current stance, […]

Vikings Release Roc Thomas

The Minnesota Vikings have parted ways with running back Roc Thomas, who was set to miss the first three games of the season after being suspended for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. The move isn't a huge surprise, though Minnesota is now fairly shallow at running back beyond Dalvin Cook and rookie Alexander Mattison. Thomas […]

Are You Ready for Football? Training Camp Storylines to Watch

Every year NFL training camp brings us plenty of stories to look at. There are position battles galore. Players threatening to hold out. And in some cases, straight up bad player takes to dig into. While the third of these can be the most comedic, Lizard people, dinosaurs not being real and the sun setting in […]

The Baltimore Ravens placed offensive guard Alex Lewis (shoulder) on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Sunday. He is still recovering from shoulder surgery performed in January.

ADP Arbitrage - Maximizing Draft Value Early

While the draft isn't the only key to success in fantasy football, the early rounds can make a big difference. You want to maximize the value you get from those first few picks as much as possible. Many rankings and mock drafts have the same players in the same order early on. That doesn't mean […]

Committee Running Backs Worth Drafting

Want to see me say some dirty words on this website? Alright, here we go: Running. Back. Committee. Please don't go report me to my editors! I'm sorry! But while we're here and we're talking about all these dirty things, let's talk about running back committees. Are they good for fantasy owners? Nah. Are they a […]

Jalen Richard Could Prosper With Better Talent Around Him

With the onslaught of new talent brought in by the Oakland Raiders this offseason, running back Jalen Richard could find more success despite being further down the list of the team’s top offensive weapons. Richard will primarily work once again as a pass-catching back, limiting his playing time to third downs and spelling off rookie […]

Three-Headed Monster in the Midway?

Many fantasy players seem to be thankful that Jordan Howard has left Chicago. He was widely regarded as a plodding disappointment and he’s not getting a lot of love with his new team in Philadelphia.  Meanwhile, owners appear to be very excited about the guy who was drafted to potentially replace him, David Montgomery. Chicago […]

Desmond Harrison Released By The Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals cut offensive tackle Desmond Harrison this week shortly after reports surfaced that he was being charged with assault of a female in North Carolina. He was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns in June after the veteran was released. The Cardinals now have an open roster spot heading into training camp. […]

Eagles Sign Darren Sproles

The Eagles are bringing back running back Darren Sproles for one more season. After playing in just six games last year, it looked like Sproles might be done in the NFL, but the Eagles decided to bring Sproles back to an already crowded backfield that features Jordan Howard, Corey Clement, and Miles Sanders. Clement might […]

D'Onta Foreman Will Play Complementary Role

Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman had a disastrous 2018 season, rushing for negative yardage on seven carries while adding two catches for 28 yards and a touchdown. Recovering from an Achilles tear, Foreman appeared in just one regular season game, playing 31 snaps in a loss to the Eagles. Foreman is expected to play […]

Broncos Sign David Williams

The Denver Broncos have signed running back David Williams, who the team originally drafted in 2018 before letting go. Williams was a Jaguar last season, but carried the ball just eight times for 36 yards with Jacksonville. It's hard to imagine a situation where Williams has fantasy value in a Broncos backfield that already has […]

Running Back Handcuffs Worth Drafting as Standalone Players

This article gets more and more challenging every season. In order to write it, I have no choice but to expand the definition of a handcuff. As the number of teams using multiple running backs increases, fewer and fewer RBs are handcuffs by the purest meaning of the term. Some of the guys mentioned here […]

Saquon Barkley's Improvement Might Not Be In Numbers

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley rolled up 261 carries, 1,307 rushing yards while adding 91 receptions last season. Beat writer John Schmeelk expects the number of receptions for Barkley to drop by as many as 15-20. Early in the season Barkley had many non-consequential dump-off receptions, posting 58 grabs in the first half […]

Bills GM Believes In LeSean McCoy For 2019

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane had encouraging words to say about LeSean McCoy to beat reporters. "We’re focused on this year," Beane said. "That’s what we have him under contract for, and I definitely think he’s got enough left in the tank to help us in 2019.” McCoy is 31 years old and entering […]
