Doug Martin A Risky Option This Weekend

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Martin practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday but was limited as of Friday, but should be good to go according to reports. Even if he does suit up, he makes a risky play due to the fact the […]

Melvin Gordon Officially Ruled Out

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Bengals. Gordon is nursing a sprained knee and might even struggle to be cleared for next Thursday's game against the Chiefs. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson will continue to hold down the fort as long as […]

Kerryon Johnson Officially Ruled Out

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Cardinals after not practicing at all this week. It'll be Johnson's third straight missed game. LeGarrette Blount has seen 35 carries in the last two weeks and will continue to be the backfield workhorse in a good […]

Doug Martin, Seth Roberts Listed As Questionable

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee) and wide receiver Seth Roberts (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Steelers. Martin should be good to go for this game, but he could lose work to Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington. Martin is a touchdown-dependent RB3 that could suffer in negative game […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson, who had missed two practices this week due to the death of his grandmother, returned to the team on Friday and should play in Week 14 against the Panthers. Johnson had a measly two touches last week against the Texans and three total touches the week prior, so the […]

Ito Smith A Deep-League Desperation Play Only

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is not really a viable fantasy option for owners against Green Bay in Week 14. Smith has averaged just 10.75 rushing yards and 8.5 receiving yards per game over the last four games. It has also been five weeks since he last scored a touchdown, and with the Falcons […]

Tevin Coleman Impossible To Trust In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman is going to be a tough player for fantasy owners to rely on in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Over the past two weeks Coleman has averaged just one yard per carry on 14 total carries and has added just 20 yards receiving on four catches. He […]

Kenyan Drake A High-Risk RB3 In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a high-risk RB3 or flex in Week 14 against New England. Drake has scored in back-to-back games and is getting in the area of 10 touches per game. He can be dangerous in space, which makes every touch Drake gets of high value. The Patriots have performed well […]

Melvin Gordon A Long Shot To Play This Week

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) missed practice all week as he rehabs from his sprained right knee. We expect he'll be ruled out later in the day for Week 14 against the Bengals. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson should again split touches in the Bolts backfield against a Bengals team that […]

Devonta Freeman Has Chance To Return This Year

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (groin) has been rehabbing in Philadelphia and head coach Dan Quinn isn't ruling him out for the remainder of the season. While Freeman has a shot to play before Week 17, it doesn't make much sense for the Falcons to risk re-injury after Freeman had surgery earlier this year. […]

Isaiah Crowell, Robby Anderson Questionable

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 14 against the Bills. ESPN's Rich Cimini says that both players should be good to go. Crowell and Anderson have battled through injuries for much of the year. Crowell […]

Chris Thompson Seeks Increased Workload Against Giants

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson had an uneventful return to the field in Week 13, recording just six inconsequential touches. The Redskins could look to get him more involved in a Week 14 contest that may well determine the fate of their season. The Giants have allowed an NFL-worst six receiving touchdowns to running […]

T.J. Yeldon Barely Plays Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon played just 13 snaps in Thursday's loss to the Titans, catching his only target for 10 yards and adding a seven-yard run to his totals as well. Yeldon had been targeted at least three times in every game before this one, and had been shaping into a solid PPR […]

Leonard Fournette Held In Check By Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette returned from his one-game suspension for Thursday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans, but he was never able to gain much traction, finishing with 36 rushing yards on 14 carries and getting stuffed multiple times at the goal line as the Jacksonville offensive line failed to open any space for […]

Adrian Peterson Looks To Run Over Giants Again

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is still working his way through a shoulder injury that has affected his participation in practice of late, but the injury hasn't kept him out of any games. Monitor the final injury reports as you prepare your lineup for the first round of the fantasy playoffs, but expect Peterson […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 14): NFL DFS Lineups

This is an intriguing slate in Week 14. With the Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, and Saints all on the slate, there is plenty of firepower. The Rams game being flexed to the Sunday Night Football slot is not a huge loss as they are playing a very good Bears defense. In addition, we have some defenses […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 14 Preview

Last week was all about those running backs who have done the most to boost their average draft position heading into 2019. What about those who have done the most to hurt themselves? Even though these running backs haven’t had a great 2018, we should consider buying low on them prior to next season for […]

What Is Kareem Hunt's Dynasty Value?

To start off, I am going to make it clear that this article is about the dynasty value of Kareem Hunt not knowing in any definitive way what the future holds for his NFL career. This is not going to opine on the legal aspects or moral aspects of what transpired with him recently. No […]

Dion Lewis Takes A Back Seat In Blowout Win

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis took a back seat to teammate Derrick Henry in the team's blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lewis rushed 10 times for just 13 yards and added five receptions for 39 yards as Henry set the Titans single-game record for rushing yards with 238. This game put an exclamation […]

Derrick Henry Has Record-Setting Night Versus Jacksonville

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry stole the show on Thursday Night Football, setting the Titans single-game rushing record with 238 yards and four touchdowns on just 17 carries. Henry also tied the record for longest run in NFL history with a 99-yard touchdown. The Jacksonville defenders had seemingly no desire to bring Henry down […]

LeGarrette Blount In Line For Solid Day Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount has rushed for 149 yards in his last two games. That’s not far off from the 183 yards he accrued through the first 10 games of the season. He didn’t find the end zone in Week 13 which renders him pretty useless for fantasy purposes. A Week 14 matchup […]

Theo Riddick Could See Decent Workload Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick had his highest rushing totals of the season in Week 13, taking eight carries for 32 yards. However, it was at the expense of his workload in the passing game that has kept him fantasy relevant for almost the entirety of his career. With Kerryon Johnson still not practicing, […]

Chris Carson Limited In Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (finger) was limited in practice on Thursday after dislocating his index finger in Week 13. The Seahawks expect Carson to play on Monday night in a tough matchup against the Vikings. He remains the team's lead back, but rookie Rashaad Penny, who had a good game last Sunday, could […]

Jeffery Wilson Takes The Reins

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson totaled 134 yards on 23 touches in Week 13 filling in for an injured Matt Breida (ankle). With Breida ruled out in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos, Wilson should man the backfield again for the Niners. The undrafted rookie from North Texas rushed for 1,215 yards and […]

Marshawn Lynch Officially Out For Rest Of Year

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (groin) is officially out for the rest of the season after the team designated right tackle Donald Penn (groin) as their second player to return from Injured Reserve. Beast Mode made it only six games in his second and final year with the Raiders, rushing the ball 90 times […]

Tarik Cohen Has Flex Appeal Against Rams

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will try and stay hot against the Rams in chilly Chicago weather for Week 14. Cohen dominated last week with backup quarterback Chase Daniel under center, posting 189 total yards against the Giants. The speedster will go up against a Rams defense that is allowing the 12th fewest fantasy […]

Time For Jordan Howard To Ride The Fantasy Bench

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard will go up against a Rams defense that is allowing the 12th fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Fantasy owners have been waiting all season for the light to turn on for Howard this season but this, once again, will not be the week. The Rams have […]

Jonathan Stewart Won't Come Off Injured Reserve

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) will remain on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. J-Stew had six carries for 17 yards (2.8 yards per carry) in his three games this season. He'll turn 32 next March and won't even be an attractive handcuff to Saquon Barkley in his second and […]

Melvin Gordon Remains Sidelined At Practice

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) remained out of practice again on Thursday. The Chargers were hoping that Gordon would be able to return in Week 14 against the Bengals after just one missed game, but that doesn't look like it'll happen. Austin Ekeler and rookie Justin Jackson should split the touches in […]
