Week 13 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Week 13 is here with a bang! We are past all the byes and we are back to just having the one game on a Thursday. Unfortunately the Saints high flying offense was somewhat lost to the week against a very good Dallas defense. The good news is that other high flying offenses in the […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 13 Fantasy Football Picks

If you're like me, and I pray for your soul that you are not, then you tend to occasionally stray from the logical way of thinking and revert to subjective decision-making processes. For example, I just picked up Carlos Hyde in the RotoBaller Experts League because I have Melvin Gordon and now need to fill […]

Chris Carson Is Still The Primary Back

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson hasn't been tasked with the workload many other primary backs have seen, but he's still clearly the primary choice for Pete Carroll's offense. While Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny have hovered nearby and gotten more than a handful of carries this season, Carson has logged considerably more than both. […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a low-end flex option in Week 13 against Buffalo. Gore is normally good for about 15 touches per game, but he isn't involved in the passing game and hasn't scored a rushing touchdown all season. He is a reliable between-the-tackles runner for Miami, but not a high-ceiling option […]

Kenyan Drake A Flex Play In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a high-risk flex option in Week 13 against Buffalo. Drake is coming off his best performance of the season, a two-touchdown game against Indianapolis in Week 13. He is getting around 10-13 touches per game as of late, and Drake is explosive enough to make something of those […]

Justin Jackson Could Be A Sleeper

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson certainly hasn't been a desirable name for the majority of this season, but he might become a household one after Sunday night. Jackson surprised last week after starter Melvin Gordon went down, and he hammered his way along for 57 yards on just seven carries. With Gordon […]

Austin Ekeler Starting Against Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will get his second start of the season this week when he goes against Pittsburgh on Sunday night. Melvin Gordon is sidelined with a knee injury for at least a couple weeks, so Ekeler should get plenty of play in one of the most potent offenses in the […]

Kenneth Dixon Activated From Injured Reserve

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee) has been reinstated from the Injured Reserve list. Dixon has been practicing with the team since being designated to return two weeks ago. He was placed on injured reserve after the Ravens' Week 1 victory over the Bills where he totaled a team-high 44 rushing yards. The third-year […]

Alex Collins Placed On Injured Reserve

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) has been placed on Injured Reserve and as a result will miss the rest of the season. He has been listed on the team's injury report the past two weeks and was inactive for last week's contest. Collins finishes a disappointing season with 441 yards on 114 carries […]

Inside the Tent - Week 13 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Carlos Hyde Set To See Time In Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde heads into Week 13 with the highest upside he has had for fantasy owners since arriving in Jacksonville earlier in the season. Leonard Fournette is suspended, Blake Bortles is benched and Hyde is second in line in a backfield that is going to highlight the offensive scheme in Week […]

TJ Yeldon Looks To Be Cornerstone Of Jaguars Offense In Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars running back TJ Yeldon expects to be the RB1 in Jacksonville in Week 13, as Leonard Fournette is suspended for the game. With quarterback Blake Bortles and Fournette on the bench, Yeldon figures to be featured in Jacksonville's offensive attack against the Indianapolis Colts. Yeldon also sees high value due to his effectiveness […]

C.J. Prosise An Injured Reserve Candidate

Seattle Seahawks head coach Peter Carroll said running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen, groin) has been dealing with his injury for a while, and there is no timetable for his return. He is currently week-to-week and could be a candidate for Injured Reserve if the team needs a roster spot. Prosise has just one carry for […]

Chiefs Releasing Kareem Hunt

Updating an ongoing story, the Kansas City Chiefs are releasing running back Kareem Hunt on Friday after he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list. A video surfaced on Friday that showed Hunt kicking and shoving a woman in a Cleveland hotel from an incident in February of this year. He's likely facing a six-game […]

Kareem Hunt Placed On Exempt List

The NFL placed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt on paid administrative leave on Friday after a video surfaced that shows Hunt pushing and kicking a woman inside a Cleveland hotel from February. He was officially placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Hunt will not be allowed to practice with the team or attend […]

Peyton Barber Belongs on the Bench Against Panthers

The Panthers boast a top-10 rush defense and prove to be troublesome for Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber. Barber has taken advantage of some great matchups in recent weeks like San Francisco and the Giants but will have his hands full at the line of scrimmage this weekend. Barber is a touchdown-dependent RB3 and should […]

Kareem Hunt Sent Home Friday

The Kansas City Chiefs sent running back Kareem Hunt home from the practice facility on Friday upon learning of the release of the video that shows Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a hotel from earlier this year. The most likely short-term resolution is for Hunt to be placed on the commissioner's exempt list, […]

Dalvin Cook An RB2 For Week 13

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has had over 100 all-purpose yards in two of his past three games. He has become an explosive weapon in the passing game since returning from injury in Week 9. Cook will face the New England Patriots in Week 13, who are giving up 107.7 rushing yards per game. […]

Jalen Richard Set For Large Role In The Offense This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard brings strong PPR value in this Sunday's game against the Chiefs. We should be seeing the Raiders playing from behind, as they are 15-point home underdogs, which would put Richard in a spot to continue his pass-catching role in the offense. Richard has posted four or more receptions in […]

Doug Martin Has Favorable Opponent, Bad Game Script

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin is coming off a week where he scored his first touchdown of the season, but likely won't be in a spot for massive production this weekend. He is up against the Chiefs who are 32nd (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) versus the rush, which sets him up, in theory, for […]

Kerryon Johnson Out, Michael Roberts Doubtful

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) is out for Week 13 against the Rams, while tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) is listed as doubtful despite being limited in practice all week. Receiver Brandon Powell (calf) has also been ruled out. The Lions are running out of offensive weapons with Marvin Jones also out […]

Darren Sproles Expects To Play Monday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) expects to play on Monday night against the Redskins. Sproles hasn't played since being injured in the season opener, but it looks like the Eagles will have him available in Week 13. Rookie Josh Adams has taken over lead-back duties, but Sproles could see some action in passing […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Conference Championship Week Edition)

If you're a fan of chaos, Rivalry Week may have fallen a little short with only one significant upset, but with four top ten teams suffering a loss, the college football rankings have been changed in a big way. The final pieces to the puzzle to decide the teams in the College Football Playoff will […]

Kareem Hunt Might Not Play In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt can't play in Week 13 against the Raiders after a video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel in February of this year. It's unknown when Hunt will be allowed to play and for how long the NFL plans to suspend him. This […]

Kareem Hunt In Hot Water

Video footage has surfaced of Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel from Feb. 10 of this year. Police reports were created for the incident, but no charges were filed. The Chiefs have yet to release a statement on Hunt. This surely does not look good […]

Rashaad Penny To Have Bigger Role This Week?

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer hinted that rookie running back Rashaad Penny would have a bigger role in the offense in Week 13 against the 49ers. Penny was used frequently in Weeks 10 and 11 with Chris Carson banged up, but he carried the ball just four times for four yards and played only […]

Chris Thompson Could Produce In Return To Action

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson is set to return to the field Monday night after missing extended time with a rib injury. If indeed his unbridled participation in practice this week yields a full comeback, he could be in line to produce right out of the gate. The Eagles have allowed the fourth-most receptions […]
