Dolphins Not Discussing Extension With Kenyan Drake
The Miami Dolphins are not currently engaged in contract-extension talks with running back Kenyan Drake, according to a league source. The 25-year-old was underutilized by the last coaching staff, but he should be a part of the team's future as they rebuild. However, the talented back has a chance to be more effective under new […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Houston Texans
A team that feels like they are on the verge of taking another step, the Houston Texans, are coming off a disappointing playoffs loss last season. Things were going well in the regular season, but running into the hot Colts team sent them home. Deshaun Watson and this passing attack have all the makings of […]
T.J. Yeldon Visits With Bills
Free-agent running back T.J. Yeldon visited with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday. Yeldon's best year came in his rookie season with Jacksonville back in 2015 when he ran 182 times for 740 yards and two touchdowns. He's scored just six times in his four-year career and would just be running back depth in Buffalo behind […]
Corey Clement Expects To Be Ready For Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (knee) said that he expects to be ready for Week 1 in 2019. He also said that his 2018 injury wasn't related to his ACL. The 24-year-old ran the ball 68 times for 259 yards and two touchdowns in his 11 games last season. With the Eagles adding Jordan […]
Ronald Jones II Impressing Coaching Staff
Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said running back Ronald Jones II has impressed the coaches the most this spring. The second-round pick was a disaster in his rookie season, playing in just nine games and rushing 23 times for just 44 yards (1.9 yards per rush) and one touchdown. Jones should have a […]
Jaguars Won't Discipline Leonard Fournette
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said running back Leonard Fournette will not be disciplined by the team after his arrest last week for driving with a suspended license. The NFL is unlikely to discipline the running back either, so he won't face a suspension to begin the year. Fournette ended 2018 on a sour […]
Todd Gurley Feeling Good
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) said he was "feeling pretty good" when asked about his knee at the team's offseason workouts on Monday. The 24-year-old had major reconstruction on his knee in 2014 while in college and re-injured it last December before playing sparingly down the stretch and through the playoffs. Head […]
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Baltimore Ravens
Big changes hit the Baltimore Ravens mid-season in 2018. The switch at quarterback from Joe Flacco to Lamar Jackson was appropriately timed and sent this team to the playoffs. Jackson took over the full-time duties in Week 11 and was the ninth-best QB in fantasy over that span. His eye-popping 558 rushing yards paced the […]
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Seattle Seahawks
Given the talent on the roster, the Seattle Seahawks actually overachieved in 2018. Something has to be said for this coaching staff for what they got from the likes of Chris Carson and the group of receivers. Some of the praise should, of course, be shifted to Russell Wilson. Although the passing yardage wasn't there, […]
Josh Adams To Miss Offseason Workouts
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams (shoulder) is expected to miss the start of the team's offseason conditioning program after he had surgery on his shoulder in January, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Adams had labrum surgery after the playoff loss and was given a six-month timetable for a return, so […]
Gus Edwards Signs His Tender Monday
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards signed his exclusive-rights tender on Monday. Running back De'Lance Turner, center Matt Skura and offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor also signed their tenders. The 24-year-old Edwards was set to enter the 2019 season as the team's No. 1 running back, but things changed when they added Mark Ingram to the […]
David Johnson Expects To See More Touches In 2019
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson expects to see the ball more often in new head coach Kliff Kingsbury's Air Raid offense in 2019. The 27-year-old should be featured prominently as both a running back and receiver. “My role this upcoming season, from talking to the coaches, is that I’m going to hopefully get the […]
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Pittsburgh Steelers
The 2018 season was one of discord for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one that played out for all eyes to see. With Le'Veon Bell choosing to sit out the entire season due to a contract dispute, Ben Roethlisberger put together his best statistical season to date (5,129 yards and 37 total TD, 456.10 FP). Although the […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Tennessee Titans
After a late surge to make the playoffs in 2017, the 2018 season was a lost one for the Titans. The "franchise" quarterback, Marcus Mariota, had an extremely subpar year. He was constantly battling injuries and could only muster a finish as QB26 in fantasy (2,528 yards and 13 total TD). Even though he was […]
Bilal Powell Unlikely To Return To Jets
Free-agent running back Bilal Powell is unlikely to re-sign with the New York Jets. His fate was sealed when the team added Ty Montgomery to a backfield that already includes Le'Veon Bell, Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire. Powell played in just seven games last year due to a neck injury and had 80 carries for […]
Todd Gurley Remains Focal Point Of Offense
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on The Rich Eisen Show that running back Todd Gurley (knee) remains "a focal point of our offense going forward." The All-Pro running back was limited down the stretch last year and into the playoffs with arthritis in his knee, and general manager Les Snead suggested in […]
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Minnesota Vikings
When it comes to Kirk Cousins' first season in Minnesota, mixed reviews would probably be the description. Although he finished as QB9 in fantasy (4,298 yards and 31 total TDs), much more was expected from not only fantasy owners but the Vikings fans themselves. His weekly performances were all over the place. He had five […]
Dynasty Football Trade Targets and 2019 Gems

Jets Signing Ty Montgomery
The New York Jets are signing free-agent running back Ty Montgomery to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source.

Leonard Fournette Arrested Thursday
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was arrested on Thursday for speeding and knowingly driving with a suspended license. He paid $1,500 bail and was released.

Marshal Yanda Agrees To One-Year Extension
The Baltimore Ravens agreed to an undisclosed one-year contract extension with seven-time Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda on Thursday, according to league sources. Yanda was entering the final season of his current deal, so he'll be locked in through the 2020 season now. Yanda remains one of the best offensive guards in football, and his […]
David Johnson Doesn't Mind Running Out Of Shotgun
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson said he doesn't mind being utilized out of the shotgun formation at all. It's unknown how much new head coach Kliff Kingsbury will use Johnson as a receiver, but the coach has already told Johnson to be ready for a healthy workload. Kingsbury has made it clear that his […]
Christian McCaffrey Not Worried About Reduced Workload
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey said he's not worried about the team reducing his workload in 2019 after he played 91.3 percent of the offensive snaps last year. He played 75 more snaps than any other running back in the league and led all running backs with an NFL single-season record of 107 catches […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Carolina Panthers
The 2018 season was a lost one for the Carolina Panthers. It was apparent that Cam Newton was playing hurt towards the end of the season, likely costing this team a shot at the playoffs. The overall numbers were respectable for Newton (3,395 yards and 28 total TD) but during the fantasy playoffs, he disappeared […]
Raiders Re-Sign Jalen Richard
The Oakland Raiders re-signed running back Jalen Richard to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. Richard set career highs in catches (68) and receiving yards (607) last season, and his 68 catches tied for the team lead and Marcus Allen for the fourth-most receptions by a running back in team history. He also had 55 carries […]
Spencer Ware Visits With Jets Wednesday
Free-agent running back Spencer Ware, who had 246 rushing yards with the Chiefs last year, visited with the New York Jets on Wednesday. The Jets are looking for depth behind Le'Veon Bell but also still have Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire. Ware has shown flashes before with KC when he's had opportunities, but he'd be […]
