Jonathan Stewart Resumes Practicing

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) has resumed practicing, which means the Giants can activate him from Injured Reserve within the next 21 days. The 31-year-old averaged just 2.8 yards per carry on six attempts in three games before being injured earlier this year. If he does return for the stretch run, J-Stew […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 11

Week 10 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. Mitchell Trubisky continues to quietly dominate, as he led all quarterbacks with 36 points. The Chicago signal-caller now ranks sixth with 22.5 fantasy points per game. Welcome back, David Johnson! It […]

Latavius Murray Should Be Avoided In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray will be hard-pressed to make a fantasy impact in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. Dalvin Cook is fully healthy and will likely dominate the snap count. Furthermore, the Bears' defense has surrendered the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Murray has five touchdowns over his past […]

Dalvin Cook Won't Be Limited

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said that running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is a full-go heading into Week 11 against the Bears on Sunday night. Cook ran the ball 10 times for 89 yards and caught four passes for 20 yards in Week 9 and had the bye week to rest up further, so […]

Ty Montgomery's Playing Time Depends On Practice

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said how much running back Ty Montgomery plays in his team debut in Week 11 against the Bengals depends on what he shows in practice this week. Montgomery was a healthy scratch in Week 9 and the team was off in Week 10. “I’m very confident he could go […]

Adrian Peterson Feels Refreshed

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson, who has been bothered by ankle and shoulder injuries for the last few weeks, said he is feeling better than he has in quite some time this week. The Redskins have been limiting the veteran back in practices early in the week as a result. “I’m feeling good. Last […]

Buy or Sell? Week 11 Trade Advice

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Luckily for those of us obsessed with college football DFS, we still have a handful of big slates left. This Saturday, beginning at noon, we have an 11 game Main slate on DraftKings. Before we […]

Theo Riddick Could Be Challenged By The Panthers

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick recorded his highest receiving yardage total of the season last Sunday against the Bears, catching six passes for 60 yards. Serving as the Lions pass-catching back, the 27-year-old returned two weeks ago from a knee injury and has since caught 13 of 15 targets. This week, the Panthers present […]

Don't Consider LeGarrette Blount In Week 11

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount hasn't crossed the goal line in three weeks and has totaled only 15 yards rushing in the same period. That is all you need to hear when breaking down Blount's fantasy value. Making his case even worse is the fact that Kerryon Johnson received a goal-line carry last week […]

Kerryon Johnson Is Flex-Worthy In Week 11

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson scored a rushing and a receiving touchdown last week against the Bears, but outside of that was very average against a good defense. This week, Johnson has another questionable matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie's yardage totals have suffered recently because the Lions have trailed in each of […]

Panthers Claim Kenjon Barner Off Waivers

The Carolina Panthers claimed running back Kenjon Barner off waivers from the Patriots on Wednesday. Barner was drafted by Carolina in the sixth round of the 2013 draft, but he played just one season with them. He had 19 carries for 71 yards in five games for the Patriots this season. Barner will provide depth […]

Peyton Barber, Ronald Jones Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs Peyton Barber (ankle, shoulder) and Ronald Jones II (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barber played in Week 10 and should be fine moving forward as the team's lead back on early downs, but he's a low-end RB2 option. Jones has had a very disappointing rookie season and […]

Tarik Cohen Will Be Boom Or Bust Against Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will look to shake out of his two-game slump against a ferocious Vikings defense in Week 11. Cohen has posted only 57 yards from scrimmage over his last two games after averaging 122 total yards a game in the four games previous to that. Cohen will go up against […]

James Conner A Full Participant Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and said he feels good. Conner declined to say if he even suffered a concussion in last Thursday's game. With Le'Veon Bell now officially out of the picture for the rest of the year, Conner is locked into the workhorse […]

Jordan Howard No More Than An RB3 In Week 11

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard will face a stingy Vikings run defense in Week 11. It has been a disappointing season for the third-year running back to this point in the season dealing with a diminished role in a new offense. But Howard has flashed some of his potential over the past few games, […]

Christian McCaffrey To Continue Good Form Against Lions

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will look to continue his good form against the Detroit Lions. The Lions have shown themselves to be vulnerable to the run this season, giving up 21.6 points on average to the position. McCaffrey has been given the vast majority of the work in the backfield- that combined with […]

Chris Thompson Likely To Sit Out This Week

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that there's a good chance that running back Chris Thompson (ribs) will miss the Week 11 game against the Texans. Left tackle Trent Williams (knee) also will not play this Sunday. Neither player practiced on Wednesday. Thompson has only played in five games this year and not since […]

Saquon Barkley Has Prime Matchup Against Buccaneers

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will go up against a Buccaneers defense in Week 11 that is allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Barkley has scored 10-plus fantasy points in each of the first nine games of his career this season and now will face a Tampa defense that […]

Royce Freeman Practicing Wednesday

Denver Broncos rookie running back Royce Freeman (ankle) is practicing on Wednesday. Freeman missed two games with a high ankle sprain and was off last week during the bye, so he looks ready to return in Week 11 to face the Chargers. He should go back to splitting touches with fellow rookie Phillip Lindsay, but […]

Rashaad Penny May Struggle For Touches On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, who had his first 100-yard game and first touchdown of his career in Week 10 against the Rams, may see his role shrink significantly this Thursday against the Packers with Chris Carson (hip) expected to return from a one-game absence and start. “Yeah, yeah, but when everybody’s healthy, […]

Todd Gurley Has Incredible Matchup

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has an absolutely perfect matchup ahead of him against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. The Chiefs have given up the most fantasy points to running backs this season, according to Yahoo. Kansas City's defense has allowed four rushing touchdowns over their last two games. Gurley is […]

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 11

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

Wendell Smallwood Not a Good Week 11 Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Smallwood fell behind in the Eagles backfield pecking order in Week 10, getting five touches to Corey Clement's six and Josh Adams' seven. It's a messy backfield in general, but the Week 11 […]

Corey Clement Is Best Left on the Bench in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a good fantasy option in Week 11. Clement seemed to fall behind Josh Adams in Week 10, seeing six touches to Adams' seven and watching Wendell Smallwood get five of his own. It's a messy backfield that's hard to trust on a good week. This week, facing […]

Josh Adams Faces a Tough Challenge in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams faces a tough challenge in a Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. While Adams seemed to take over the backfield in Week 10, getting seven touches to lead Eagles backs, he still saw Wendell Smallwood touch the ball five times and Corey Clement touch the ball six […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 11

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

D'Onta Foreman Resumes Practicing Wednesday

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) will practice on Wednesday, which will open his 21-day window for a return from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Foreman last played in an NFL game on Nov. 19 of last season, so it'll be over a year by the time […]

Chris Carson Will Start On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said that running back Chris Carson (hip) will continue to start on Thursday against the Packers after he sat out in Week 10. While rookie Rashaad Penny broke out for over 100 yards and his first NFL touchdown in Carson's absence last week, the Seahawks know that he is […]

Ezekiel Elliott Looks Set for a Huge Game in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott seems set for a huge performance on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Elliott ran all over the Eagles league-best run defense in Week 10, going for 187 total yards. He gets one of the league's worst defenses this week and should absolutely feast. The Falcons have faced nine backfields […]
