Jalen Richard In A Great PPR Spot Against The Chargers

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard has plenty of upside in Sunday's game versus the Chargers. Richard has always been the pass-catching back for the Raiders and now with them coming in as 10-point home underdogs, he should see plenty of usage in the offense. Richard has four or more targets in seven of his […]

Doug Martin In A Bad Spot For Production This Week

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin will have a tough time reaching fantasy value this week against the Chargers. This game has the Chargers as 10-point favorites, which would mean the Raiders have to pass the ball in order to catch up. This would push Martin out of the offense since he has a very […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida was a full participant in Thursday’s practice and appears to be approaching full health.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is in Pittsburgh, but it's still unknown if he plans to report to the team by the deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 13. The team wants Bell back very badly, but we'll have to wait and see if Bell wants to play for the rest of the season. We'd like […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Now A RB/WR In Fantasy

New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson heads into Week 10 with a new role in the offense and a new position in fantasy leagues -- running back. Patterson now qualifies as a RB/WR heading into the team's matchup against a Titans defense that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to receivers this season. […]

Eagles Expect Darren Sproles Back This Year

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson believes that running back Darren Sproles (hamstring), who had a setback this week in practice, will come back this year. The 35-year-old missed most of last year with an injury as well, and he hasn't played since Week 1 this year. While it looks like Sproles will avoid Injured […]

Chris Thompson Ruled Out Against Bucs

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Buccaneers. Thompson has now missed three of the last four games and isn't a must-hold in fantasy leagues if you need help at other positions. Kapri Bibbs will once again work as the passing back behind Adrian Peterson. He […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 11 Edition)

Week 10 was arguably the most anticipated set of games of the year. And while they did have a meaningful impact on the college football playoff rankings, they fell short of the classic games you've come to expect from top ten matchups. Week 11 isn't exactly a top slate of games, but sometimes those are […]

Ito Smith A Potential Flex Option In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has the opportunity to be a flex play for fantasy owners against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Smith had a solid outing last week against the Washington Redskins with 10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown. He added four yards as he caught one of his two targets. […]

Tevin Coleman Could Have Another Good Day In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could be in line to put up a second straight good performance in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns. In Week 9 against the Washington Redskins, Coleman rushed for 88 yards on 13 carries. He also added 68 receiving yards on five receptions, from seven targets with two touchdowns. […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 10

Fantasy footballers are going to have to live without some things this upcoming week. Fantasy football owners will not get a 100-yard receiving game out of Minnesota’s Adam Thielen, a touchdown toss from Houston’s Deshaun Watson, or a sack out courtesy of Denver’s Von Miller this week. That is because those fantasy superstars’ teams are […]

Alfred Morris Again In Mix For Touches

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris’ role has dwindled meaningfully in recent weeks, recording 11 or fewer snaps in three of four contests. With Raheem Mostert (arm) on IR, Morris will again be the Niners primary change-of-pace back in Week 10 against the New York Giants. Despite the team’s commitment to a backfield timeshare, […]

Peyton Barber is Shaky RB2 Against Redskins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) has been limited in practice this week, but is fully expected to play in Sunday's game against the Redskins. However, Barber has not done much of anything this season. He has 422 yards from scrimmage and is almost impossible to trust in fantasy leagues. The Bucs main […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 11/10

Week 11 is upon us, and we're graced with 11 games on the DraftKings Main slate, beginning at noon on Saturday. It's definitely a weaker plate of games this week, but that's not too surprising as last week was one of the best we've had in a month. Home favorites dominate the slate, as nine […]

Adrian Peterson A Bounce-Back Candidate

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has done well with his role in the offense when game flow has permitted his utilization. Last week against the Falcons, he fell victim to the opposite script and was held to just 33 yards from scrimmage. A date with the Buccaneers could send Peterson trending back in the […]

LeSean McCoy Should See Increased Usage This Week

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is looking to improve from his subpar performance last week when the team takes on the Jets this Sunday. McCoy only played in 41 percent of the Bills snaps last week, which was a low for him while healthy. He lost a good chunk of carries to Chris Ivory […]

Frank Gore Playable In Week 10

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a viable fantasy option in Week 10 as his touches continue to increase. Coach Adam Gase has indicated that he really likes Gore's aggressive running style and how he helps to keep the offense ahead of schedule. Gore saw 21 touches in Week 9, the most he's seen […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

Joe Haeg Is Nearing A Return

Indianapolis Colts right tackle Joe Haeg (ankle) is nearing a return from Injured Reserve to help boost the Colts offensive line. When looking across their line, Haeg represents a good candidate to fill in at any spot necessary. He has been a versatile player for them in his career, and his return would bolster a […]

James Conner Scores, Leaves With Possible Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner carried the ball 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in his team's dominant 52-21 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 10. The second-year running back found the end zone on a two-yard run in the first quarter, capping off a 61-yard drive. Conner was removed from […]

Rookie Running Back Overview, ROS Outlook

It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes. Kareem Hunt (2017) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016) are the recent examples, while the Saquon Barkley breakout of 2018 has taken absolutely no one by surprise. Prior to this season, I […]

Kenyan Drake Continues To See Limited Touches

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake continues to lose touches to running back Frank Gore. Drake was out-touched by Gore 21-7 in Week 9 and unfortunately there is no indication that Drake will see more touches. Drake has proven to be effective with his limited touches but anything under 10 leaves him nearly irrelevant in […]

Saquon Barkley Will Resume Bell-Cow Status Against 49ers

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is fresh off of a bye week and will look to keep his fantastic rookie season going against the 49ers on Monday night. Through eight games this season, Barkley is averaging 4.7 yards per carry with 58 receptions, seven touchdowns and 1,016 yards from scrimmage. Barkley has been […]

Robert Turbin Back To Full Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Turbin hasn't played since Oct. 14 but seems primed to be available in Week 10 against the Jaguars. Still, he's fourth on the depth chart behind Marlon Mack and rookies Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins when […]

Mark Ingram Lacks The Touches To Trust In Week 10

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram will be tough to trust in fantasy lineups despite a favorable matchup in Week 10. Ingram and Co. will go up against a Bengals defense that is allowing the sixth most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. But Ingram's touches have been capped at about 10-15 […]

Alvin Kamara Primed For Big Game Against Bengals

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is in line for another dominant fantasy performance in Week 10 when the team travels to take on the Bengals. Kamara has 917 yards from scrimmage this season, averaging 4.4 yards per carry with 51 receptions and 12 touchdowns. Kamara will go up against a Bengals defense that […]
