Let It Go! Players We Need to Finally Drop in Dynasty

If there's one thing I'm guilty of in fantasy football, it's holding onto players in dynasty leagues way, way beyond the point where I should have just dropped them. Sometimes, I'm rewarded by being able to start Wendell Smallwood during a time where the rest of my team is injured, but usually the result is […]

Rashaad Penny Drawing Rave Reviews

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny has been drawing raves for his conditioning this offseason. Penny played second fiddle to Chris Carson, who had a great season in 2018, but the 23-year-old was a first-round pick and will continue to become a bigger part of this offense as he matures and improves. He's extremely quick […]

Jordan Howard Being Used In Passing Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard likes the way he's fit into head coach Doug Pederson's offense and said that it's exciting that the team is using him in the passing game.

Todd Gurley's Days Of Being A Bell-Cow Over?

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's (knee) days of being a bell-cow running back may be over due to concerns about his left knee.

Boston Scott A Potential Replacement For Darren Sproles

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson mentioned running back Boston Scott as a Darren Sproles replacement because of his skill set. Josh Adams, Wendell Smallwood and Scott could be competing for one spot behind Jordan Howard, rookie Miles Sanders and Corey Clement. A sixth-round pick in 2018, Scott was active in only two games as […]

Miles Sanders Still Absent From Practice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) continues to sit out of practice at mandatory minicamp. The second-round back figures to see a lot of playing time in his rookie season alongside Jordan Howard, but he's losing valuable practice time with the first-team offense and could get off to a slow start as a […]

Rookie Spotlight - Damien Harris

With the 87th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots took former Alabama running back, Damien Harris.

Duke Johnson Still Wants To Be Traded

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday at the start of minicamp, Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson doubled down on his previous trade request, which came earlier in the offseason.

Damien Williams Is a Must-Draft... and Must-Sell

“You know what? Damien Williams is our starter,” said Chiefs RB coach Eric Bieniemy shortly before fantasy football Twitter burned down.

Todd Gurley Unlikely To Appear In Preseason

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead said it's unlikely that running back Todd Gurley (knees) takes part in preseason action this year. The Rams are one of the most cautious teams when it comes to playing their starters in the preseason, so Gurley won't be the only one sitting out. Chronic knee issues have […]

Brian Hill To Compete With Qadree Ollison

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill is set to compete with fifth-round rookie Qadree Ollison for the "big-back role" on the team this summer.

Dontrell Hilliard Making An Impression

Cleveland Browns running backs coach Stump Mitchell said that running back Dontrell Hilliard is making an impression in offseason workouts in the absence of Duke Johnson.

Darren Sproles Open To Playing In 2019

Free-agent running back Darren Sproles, who will turn 36 in June, remains open to playing in 2019, but he might want to play for one of the Eagles, Saints or Chargers, ESPN's Adam Schefter said on 97.5 the Fanatic. Sproles still has some quickness and elusiveness, but he's only been able to play in nine […]

Mark Walton Could Be No. 3 Back

Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has impressed as a receiver during organized team activities and has a real chance to beat out seventh-round pick Myles Gaskin for the No. 3 running back spot behind Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage.

Damien Williams Is The Starter

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said that running back "Damien Williams is our starter, and we expect him to excel in that role."

Chris Thompson Is Healthy

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ankle, ribs) said he is feeling healthy this offseason, but he's still dealing with some soreness in his ankle. The 28-year-old has been a third-down weapon for Washington in his six years with the team, and he's caught at least 35 passes in each of the last four seasons. […]

Tevin Coleman Lining Up At Receiver

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman said that he's been lining up some at wide receiver during offseason workouts. San Fran's backfield is mighty crowded with Coleman, Jerick McKinnon, Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert, so head coach Kyle Shanahan is going to have to get creative.
