Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS:You might have been confused if you checked in to the Cardinals-Packers game last week and not just by the scoreboard. When the Cardinals got into the red zone, it was rookie Chase Edmonds, not David Johnson, scoring twice. Ultimately, it wasn't a matter of […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore had his worst game of the 2018 season, but still has been getting a good amount of work in the Dolphins offense. While Kenyan Drake outsnapped Gore 30-20 on Sunday, Gore's performance on Sunday (where he tallied 31 total […]

Chris Thompson A Non-Factor In Monday's Return

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson recorded just six total touches in Monday night's loss to the Eagles. Unlike his backfield mate Adrian Peterson, he did not make the best of limited volume with a long touchdown. Thompson's performance has to be taken with a grain of salt, of course, as he had missed the […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 14)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Adrian Peterson Cashes In On Long Touchdown

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson had an odd day at the office on Monday night against the Eagles. He only carried the ball nine times, a pattern we've seen in the past when the Redskins have to play catch-up, and one that usually spells doom for Peterson's fantasy value. Luckily for his investors, he […]

Darren Sproles Scores a Touchdown on Monday Night

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles ran the ball four times on Monday night, gaining 22 yards and scoring a touchdown. It was the first game back for Sproles since he injured his hamstring in Week 1. The veteran back will have a role going forward, but Josh Adams seems to have taken the reins […]

Josh Adams Gets 20 Carries on Monday Night

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams ran the ball 20 times on Monday night, gaining 85 yards. He didn't catch a pass and wasn't even involved in the passing game. He's clearly the lead back in the Eagles backfield, but he won't appear in the passing game and will lose some carries to Darren Sproles […]

Matt Breida Ruled Out For Week 14

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Matt Breida (ankle) will not play in Week 14 against the Broncos. It will be Breida's first missed game since his freshman year of high school. Breida had been playing hurt for much of the year and aggravated his ankle in pregame warmups on […]

Darren Sproles Active For First Time Since Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles veteran running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) is active on Monday night against the Redskins for the first time since Week 1. While Sproles could be used in passing situations in space, the 35-year-old is likely to be eased back in behind rookie Josh Adams, Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood. Smallwood, who was being […]

Josh Adams Good To Go For Monday Night

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Josh Adams (hip) got fist bumps from general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Doug Pederson after pregame warmups and is good to go for Monday night against the Redskins. Adams tweaked his hip in practice on Saturday, but it looks like he will still start. The 22-year-old had 22 […]

Kareem Hunt Goes Unclaimed On Waivers

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt went unclaimed off waivers and is officially a free agent on Monday, according to a source. Hunt is currently on the commissioner's exempt list after a video surfaced late last week of Hunt kicking and shoving a woman in a Cleveland hotel from earlier this year. He is expected to […]

Saquon Barkley Says He's Fine

New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) said he feels fine after injuring his shoulder in the Week 13 overtime win over the Bears. The 21-year-old rookie has been everything he was advertised as and more in his first season in the NFL. He has now rushed for over 100 yards in three […]

No Decision On D'Onta Foreman

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said the team still hasn't made a decision on whether to activate running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) from the Physically Unable to Perform list. The deadline to do so is this Wednesday. With Lamar Miller surpassing 100 yards on the ground in back-to-back games, the Texans aren't as desperate […]

Justin Jackson Shines Against Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson may have snatched a couple spot starts away from Austin Ekeler on Sunday night. While Ekeler was given the start against Pittsburgh, he proved ineffective and was relieved by Jackson. Jackson showed up in the second half, and he ended up being instrumental in the Chargers comeback […]

Chiefs To Sign Charcandrick West

The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to sign free-agent running back Charcandrick West instead of C.J. Anderson, according to sources. West spent the last several seasons with the Chiefs and knows their playbook, filling the void created on the roster by Kareem Hunt. Anderson had a really good workout on Monday and could be a […]

Chris Ivory Garners Just Six Yards

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory totaled four yards on six carries in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. He had a long run of four yards but that was virtually wiped out by a fumble on another carry that cost him four yards. However, the rushing attempt that he fumbled on was his only negative […]

LeSean McCoy Continues Solid Workload

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy tallied 52 rushing yards on 15 carries in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. He added four receptions for 12 yards to give him 64 scrimmage yards on the afternoon, which is his sixth highest total this season. The 30-year-old has now garnered 14 or more touches in seven of […]

Ito Smith Struggles Sunday Against The Ravens

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had a tough day against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Smith actually led the team in carries with seven but he did not manage to do enough with it to help fantasy owners. On his seven carries Smith managed just 22 rushing yards and added one reception but did […]

Tevin Coleman Has Terrible Outing Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a terrible performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Coleman carried the ball six times for just eight yards, and added just one reception for three yards on three targets. Coleman has struggled a lot this season in the lead back role and this was another prime example […]

Austin Ekeler Underperforms In Starting Role

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler got another chance to be the main man on Sunday night against the Steelers, but he was underwhelming as the starter once again. Ekeler has been fantastic as the change-of-pace back when Melvin Gordon is active, but with Gordon sidelined with a knee injury, Ekeler looked terrible in […]

Falcons Still Have Faith In Dan Quinn

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank hasn't "lost any faith" in head coach Dan Quinn or general manager Thomas Dimitroff after another loss to the Ravens in Week 13. Atlanta is currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC South and well out of playoff contention. Their defense suffered multiple key injuries to their defensive […]

James Conner's Injury Not Considered Serious

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (leg) right lower leg injury is not considered to be serious, and he's believed to be dealing with a lower leg contusion. It seems like Conner will be OK to play in Week 14 in an excellent matchup against the Raiders, but we'll have to see how much he […]

Dion Lewis Disappoints in Week 13 Victory Over Jets

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis had a tough day in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans victory over the New York Jets. In all truth, he's had a tough four weeks. In this matchup, Lewis had two receptions for negative-two yards, 36 rushing yards and zero touchdowns. Derrick Henry stepped in this game in […]

Isaiah Crowell is Bright Spot in Loss

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell was the lone bright spot for the Jets offense in the 26-22 loss to the Titans. Crowell rushed 21 times for 98 yards and caught four passes for nine yards. Crowell has been basically the only thing the Jets have going for them on offense right now. Maybe things […]

Derrick Henry Shows Up Against Jets

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has not been what fantasy owners would hope for this season, but when he gets into the end zone, it can numb the pain. Henry did just that this week in the Titans 26-22 victory over the Jets. Henry threw up a mildly decent stat line with 40 yards […]

Giovani Bernard Gets Some Looks On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard was targeted eight times against the Broncos, finishing things up with six receptions for 32 yards. Though he wasn't able to find the end zone, he did and will continue to have fantasy appeal in PPR formats as he will have his number called moving forward for dump passes […]

Joe Mixon Does Next To Nothing Against Denver

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon couldn't get it going against the Broncos on Sunday, finishing the day with only 82 yards on 12 attempts in addition to 13 yards on two receptions. It was the fourth week in a row that the sophomore wasn't able to eclipse the 100-yard mark and the second in […]

Spencer Ware Scores TD in First Start of the Season

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware saw his first start this season following the dismissal of Kareem Hunt. Ware rushed 14 times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown in the 40-33 victory over Oakland. It appears the Chiefs are going to lean on Ware to be their featured back the rest of the […]

Jeffery Wilson Bursts Onto Scene

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Jeffery Wilson handled 15 carries for 61 yards while contributing eight catches for 73 yards in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. He also lost one fumble. Promoted from the practice squad in Week 12, Wilson dominated the Niners backfield in touches with running back Matt Breida (ankle) aggravating […]

Leaving the Pack Behind

R-E-L-A-X was the soundbite from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2014 when the Packers started badly in their season, but in Green Bay now he has to be thinking that was a warm distant memory. Since that season there has been a huge amount of upheaval, and that is reflected in the fantasy output of Green […]
