BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson entered Week 9 having rushed for over 100 yards in three of Seattle’s last four games. He also appeared to have secured a clear role as the Seahawks’ RB1, as uneasiness surrounding the potential for Pete Carroll to randomly alter […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN:  23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The prospects of owning Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines may not provide the same level of enthusiasm that existed prior to Marlon Mack’s return. Hines had averaged 69 YPG in Weeks 3-5, before Mack’s reemergence in Week 6 ignited a three-game statistical […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 10, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to lingering injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers. Fortunately, you now have an opportunity to utilize your […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 10)

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 […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick is back after a three-week hiatus due to a knee injury and did his thing as usual. That thing involves catching passes and not running the ball whatsoever. Riddick was targeted eight times, catching seven for 36 […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman is scheduled to begin practicing this week, which is the first step in a return from the PUP list. It's unclear when Foreman will see game action, but those with space to stash and a need at RB […]

Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed

We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk […]

Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This backfield may belong to Aaron Jones soon enough but Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams will be in the mix still. With Ty Montgomery gone, Williams is set to see more work on passing downs since the team prefers him for pass protection over Jones. […]

Ezekiel Elliott Totals 112 Yards on Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 17 times on Monday, gaining 61 yards. He also caught four passes for 51 more yards. As he has been many times this season, Elliott was the main bright spot of the Cowboys offense. He ended up not getting used nearly enough in the second half, […]

Malcolm Brown Could Be A Sneaky Stash

The Los Angeles Rams boast a legitimate MVP candidate in running back Todd Gurley. However, they have a pretty good backup in Malcolm Brown that could have more value down the stretch of this season. Even after their loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, they still hold a 3.5 game lead over the […]

Chris Carson Not Expected To Practice Much This Week

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) isn't expected to do much in practice this week after injuring himself in the Week 9 loss to the Chargers. Head coach Pete Carroll isn't sure if Carson will be available in Week 10 against the Rams. Carson was a game-time decision on Sunday and didn't make it […]

Alex Collins Scores Touchdown Against The Steelers

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins was able to salvage a decent fantasy performance after scoring a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens struggled to get anything really going on offense in this game, with Collins only able to have nine rushing attempts all game. Collins finished the game with 35 yards rushing and […]

Javorius Allen Fails To Make Impact In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen failed to make an impact in his Week 9 encounter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens were behind for a lot of the game, which would normally mean that Allen would thrive in the passing game for the team. However, Allen was only able to rush for six yards […]

Christian McCaffrey Continues Production On The Ground

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey continued his recent production on the ground against the Buccaneers in Week 9. McCaffrey finished the game with 79 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground, also adding a team-high 78 yards on five receptions in the air. McCaffrey has now scored rushing touchdowns in two consecutive games […]

Bryan Bulaga Should Be Fine

Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee), who left the Monday night game early against the Patriots, is going to be fine, according to a source. Bulaga doesn't have structural damage in his knee and could even play in Week 10 against the Dolphins. That's good news for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team's […]

Chris Johnson Announces Retirement

Free-agent running back Chris Johnson announced his retirement from football on his Instagram page on Monday. The 33-year-old was holding out hope to land with a team this year, but it never happened. Johnson earned the nickname CJ2K after rushing for 2,006 yards on the ground with the Titans in 2009, his second year in […]

Kenneth Dixon Not Cleared By League

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that running back Kenneth Dixon (knee), who has been on Injured Reserve all year, is "having issues behind our coach's control." The Ravens must wait for the league to clear Dixon to practice, and that has not happened yet. It doesn't sound like Dixon is going to return […]

Texans Unsure When D'Onta Foreman Will Return

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) is "trending upwards" but isn't sure if the team is ready to activate him from the Physically Unable to Perform list yet. The Texans are on bye in Week 10, so they may wait to have him resume practicing in Week 11. […]

Leonard Fournette Going Through Drills Monday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) went through individual drills on Monday for the first time since aggravating his hamstring in Week 4. Tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) was also getting some work in. It's believed that Fournette will return in Week 10 to face the Colts, but it's not completely official. The fact […]

Paul Richardson, Two Offensive Linemen Out For The Season

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee), and offensive guards Brandon Scherff (pectoral) and Shawn Lauvao (knee) will all need surgery and will miss the rest of the season. It's a huge blow to a mediocre offense that definitely couldn't afford it. Left tackle Trent Williams (thumb) is also […]

Rashaad Penny Makes Another Appearance

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny got back in the mix this week after getting shut out against the Lions, and it wasn't just because starter Chris Carson left early. Penny made his first carry on the team's opening drive, showing that he was going to be included to some extent either way, but […]

Steelers Haven't Had Contact From Le'Veon Bell This Week

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't had contact with running back Le'Veon Bell this week. Barring a new development in the next few days, the team isn't expecting Bell to report for the game Thursday night against the Panthers. If Bell doesn't report by Nov. 13 ahead of Week 11, he cannot play the rest of the […]

Chris Carson Aggravates Hip/Groin Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson aggravated his hip/groin injury on Sunday during the game against the Chargers, and it's now unclear what his status will be heading into the team's game against the Rams next week. Carson was a game-time start for the Seahawks, but he was pulled after eight carries due to the injury. […]

Mike Davis Hammers Out 62 Yards

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis was called upon when starter Chris Carson left the game on Sunday, and he pounded his way to 62 yards on the ground. It wasn't a stellar showing, as Davis was only able to average 4.1 YPC, but he was often tasked with running headlong into stacked boxes as […]

Giovani Bernard Back At Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) was back at practice on Monday for the first time since he sprained his ACL against the Falcons on Sept. 30. Coming off the bye, there's a decent chance that Bernard returns to action in Week 10 against the Saints in a good matchup, but it's not a […]

Marlon Mack Working On The Side Monday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) was working on the side with trainers on Monday during practice. The Colts have been cautious with Mack in practice lately after he missed the start of the season, but he shredded the Raiders on the ground in Week 8 before the team's bye and should be fine […]

Brandon Scherff May Have Torn Pec

Washington Redskins offensive guard Brandon Scherff (pectoral) is believed to have suffered a torn pectoral muscle based on the initial diagnosis, according to sources. He will undergo an MRI exam on Monday. Scherff would be done for the rest of the season if it's confirmed. That's especially bad news with left guard Shawn Lauvao suffering […]
