Darren Sproles Aggravates Hamstring
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring), who was expected to return in Week 10 against the Cowboys after being sidelined since the season opener, aggravated his hamstring in practice and is now expected to be out this weekend, according to sources. The 35-year-old just hasn't been able to stay healthy the last two years […]
Chase Edmonds Has Minimal Value In Week 10
Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has had almost no involvement over the last few weeks. Expect more of the same against the Chiefs for the young running back. Edmonds should not be rostered heading into Week 10.
David Johnson Has Upside In Week 10
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson will likely be the main offensive option against the Chiefs in Week 10. Johnson should take on a workhorse role against a vulnerable Chiefs defense, giving him upside in a tough week for running backs. If Johnson is able to score a touchdown, he has low-end RB1 upside for […]
Volume Is Too Low To Count On Jamaal Williams
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has seen his role increasingly shrink as the year has gone on. He started the season as Green Bay’s unquestioned starting running back but has ceded most of his touches to running back Aaron Jones. He did see a small uptick in usage last week after the departure […]
Aaron Jones Faces Favorable Matchup In Week 10
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will be going up against a weak Miami Dolphins run defense in Week 10. A dynamic runner who is averaging 6.4 yards per carry, Jones recently established himself as the primary ball carrier in Green Bay. While he will split some carries and snaps with fellow running back […]
Is Lamar Miller Back to Fantasy RB2 Status?
I've been accused of being a Lamar Miller apologist over the last few seasons. Some of it is warranted, some of it way off-base. The crux of my pro-Miller argument has always been that you don't always need razzle-dazzle from the running back position. Sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to just be a consistent source of […]

Buy or Sell? Week 10 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 […]
Todd Gurley Looking To Continue Record Pace
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has 12 touchdowns through nine games this season. The MVP runner-up from last season is looking to right that ship this season, and he has another good matchup this week to build his case. Last time out against the Seattle Seahawks, Gurley was extremely efficient with three touchdowns […]
Nyheim Hines A Long Shot To Bounce Back In Week 10
Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a strong start to the season thanks to his pass-catching ability. However, since the return of fellow running back Marlon Mack, Hines has fallen by the wayside in the Colts backfield. While he ran well against the Oakland Raiders, that was mostly garbage-time production to spell Mack down […]
Marlon Mack Looks To Build On Recent Success
Since returning from injury, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has been very effective. Over his last three games, he's averaging 6.4 yards per carry, and he's shown a nose for the end zone over the past couple of weeks. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he has the opportunity to keep that going. The Jaguars rank […]
Ty Montgomery Hopes To Ignite Ravens Running Game
Baltimore Ravens running back Ty Montgomery hopes that he is able to ignite the Ravens running game when he makes his debut against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Montgomery was deactivated for last week's loss to the Steelers, as he was acquired at the trade deadline mid-week. The 25-year-old back is an explosive runner who […]
Doug Martin Finds Himself On Injury Report
Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (hip) is on the injury report for Week 10 and got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Martin was dinged up last Thursday but played the entire game and should be good to go in Week 10 against the Chargers. The 29-year-old has seen double-digit carries in the two […]
Theo Riddick Has Flex Appeal In Week 10
Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick returned from a two-game absence in Week 9 to post seven receptions on eight targets for 36 yards. In his absence, rookie Kerryon Johnson took on the team's pass-catching back role but it's clear that role is back to being Riddick's. Last week, the 27-year-old played his most snaps […]
LeGarrette Blount Not An Option In Week 10
Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Blount is also coming off of his third lowest carry (five carries) total of the season in last week's loss to the Vikings. Now throw in a road matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 10 and you have yourself a […]
Kerryon Johnson A Risky Option Against Bears
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. This comes after the rookie hasn't topped 37 yards in either of the last two games against the Seahawks and Vikings. Things don't get any better in Week 10 as the Lions face the Bears, who allow the fewest fantasy points […]
Sony Michel Has Tough Test If He Is Active In Week 10
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (knee) was on the practice field Wednesday in hopes of returning to the lineup in Week 10 after missing two games. Before the injury, the rookie had enjoyed a three-game stretch where he posted 316 rushing yards and four touchdowns. His status will have to be monitored throughout […]
Derek Anderson, Chris Ivory, Charles Clay Not Practicing
Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion), running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) and tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) are not practicing on Wednesday. Anderson remains in the concussion protocol but will get the start against the Jets if he is cleared later this week as long as rookie Josh Allen (elbow) isn't given the go-ahead to […]
Ryan Grant, Robert Turbin On Track To Return
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (ankle) and running back Robert Turbin (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. It looks like the bye week treated them well and they appear to be on track to play in Week 10 against the Jaguars. Grant hasn't played since Oct. 14 and will likely be behind […]
Texans Claim DeAndre Carter, Waive Tyler Ervin
The Houston Texans claimed wide receiver Deandre Carter off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday and waived running back Tyler Ervin in a corresponding move, according to a source. Carter will help provide depth behind DeAndre Hopkins, Demaryius Thomas, Keke Coutee and Vyncint Smith and will have extra time to learn the offense during Houston's […]
Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount, Luke Willson Limited
Detroit Lions running backs Kerryon Johnson (ankle) and LeGarrette Blount (knee) and tight end Luke Willson (shoulder) are all on the Week 10 injury report and were limited in practice on Wednesday. None of them would appear to be in danger of sitting out against the Bears. Johnson wasn't involved in the passing game last […]
Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Limited Wednesday
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Gronkowski hasn't found the end zone or gone over 100 yards since the season opener and injuries continue to be an issue, as he's missed two of the last three games. Owners […]
Jamison Crowder, Chris Thompson Still Out Of Practice
Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) and running back Chris Thompson (rib) did not practice on Wednesday. Both Crowder and Thompson have missed multiple games due to injuries this year and are two of the big reasons why this offense has yet to really get off the ground. Neither is off to a good […]
Mike Evans, Ronald Jones II Miss Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) and rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Evans also sat out early last week in practice but played and disappointed in Week 9 with just one catch for 16 yards on 10 targets. He's had double-digit targets in each of the […]
Leonard Fournette Practicing In Full Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is practicing in full on Wednesday. Fournette, one of the biggest fantasy busts of the year, has played in parts of just two games this year. He had the bye week to heal, though, and looks to be on track to return in Week 10 against the Colts. […]
Vikings Claim Ameer Abdullah Off Waivers
The Minnesota Vikings claimed running back Ameer Abdullah off waivers from the Lions on Wednesday, according to a source. Abdullah is basically a forgotten man after he was active for just three games with Detroit this year, but he'll help boost Minnesota's running back depth with rookie Roc Thomas injured. Still, Abdullah will face long […]
James White A Must-Start Despite Matchup
New England Patriots running back James White looks to continue the best season of his career in Week 10 against the Titans. White has racked up 766 yards from scrimmage this season with 61 receptions and 10 touchdowns. He has scored in seven out of his nine games played this season but will have tough […]
Chris Carson Won't Practice Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (hip, thigh) will not practice on Wednesday. Carson injured himself in the first half of the Week 9 loss to the Chargers and never returned, putting his status up in the air for Week 10 against the Rams. Mike Davis and rookie Rashaad […]
