San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Matt Breida (ankle), wide receivers Pierre Garcon (shoulder) and Trent Taylor (back) and tight end George Kittle (knee) are all sitting out of practice on Thursday. San Fran is pretty banged up on offense heading into the Monday night showdown with the Packers. Breida […]

Kareem Hunt's TD Streak Could Be in Jeopardy

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt brings in a four-game touchdown streak into Week 6. Hunt has rushed for four touchdowns over the last three games, and has scored at least one TD over the last four contests. He'll face a Patriots defense that is allowing 4.4 yards per carry. However, the Pats have […]

Devonta Freeman To Take Part In Walkthrough

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said running back Devonta Freeman (foot) will take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Thursday, as his foot remains sore. Freeman is dealing with a bone contusion in his foot, which isn't expected to be a long-term injury. Still, it could keep him out in Week 6 in […]

Seahawks Won't Force Touches To Rashaad Penny

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said the team won't force touches to rookie running back Rashaad Penny after he didn't play a single snap on offense in Week 5. “We’re not going to force it,” Schottenheimer said Wednesday. “I mean, this is a long season. This is a season we’re going to need them […]

Latavius Murray Worth Starting If Dalvin Cook Cannot Play

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray has a solid matchup in Week 6 if Dalvin Cook (hamstring) remains unable to play. Cook was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and is still questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Whichever Vikings' RB gets the start will go against the worst running defense in […]

Chase Edmonds Not A Good Option In Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has seen his touches and snap share decrease in each of the past few weeks this season. With the team leaning on running back David Johnson, Edmonds has acted as a complimentary back. Due to the poor performances of the Cardinals offense, Edmonds has minimal fantasy value against a […]

David Johnson Is An RB2 In Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has a very tough matchup against one of the league's elite run-stopping units in the Vikings defense. Johnson will have to get in the end-zone to justify starting him this week given his lack of usage as a receiver under offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. Consider Johnson an RB2 with […]

Could Jordan Howard Be A Trade Candidate?

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard has landed on the rumor mill as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches after Tarik Cohen exploded in Week 4. Rumors also swirled about Howard being traded before the draft in April. The Eagles are in need of a running back after Jay Ajayi's season-ending knee injury, but Bears […]

Ameer Abdullah Is Expendable

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah has become an afterthought in offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter's weekly scheme behind rookie Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick, making him a trade candidate. Abdullah has yet to see a carry this season and was a healthy scratch on game days for the entire month of September. […]

Tevin Coleman Could Be A Trade Candidate

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could become a trade candidate if the team doesn't turn things around in the next week or so. Rookie Ito Smith has impressed in limited action so far. Linebacker Vic Beasley could also be a trade candidate, but his 2019 option of $12.810 million could be a road block. […]

Jaguars Sign Bo Scarbrough

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent running back Bo Scarbrough to their practice squad on Thursday and released fullback Dimitri Flowers in a corresponding move.

Isaiah Crowell Missing Practice Again

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Crowell is now seriously questionable to play in Week 6 against the Colts after running all over the Broncos last Sunday for 219 yards on the ground. He'll need to at least get in a limited practice on […]

Corey Clement Expected To Lead Backfield On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is expected to lead the backfield on Thursday against the Giants with Jay Ajayi (knee) now out for the season. Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams will also have roles, though. Clement is a physical runner and has improved as a pass catcher and also has return skills on special […]

Dalvin Cook In Line For Monstrous Week 6 If Healthy

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will be a fantastic fantasy option if he manages to make his way into the lineup for Week 6. The Arizona Cardinals have been the worst team in the league against the run allowing an average of 142.8 rushing yards per game. Cook has certainly had a tough […]

T.J. Yeldon The Guy In Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said running back T.J. Yeldon will be the main running back in Week 6 against the Cowboys with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) missing another game. Recently-signed running backs Jamaal Charles and David Williams will strictly be backups. "T.J. will be a guy that will carry the load for us," Marrone […]

Lane Johnson Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) was added to the injury report on Thursday morning with a high ankle sprain and is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Giants.

Defenses to Stream Against with Confidence

A football player is only as good as his matchup. For players on the fringes of fantasy rosters, that proves to be true more often than not. Take Blake Bortles, who has an average of 25.82 points per game (standard, four-point per passing touchdown) against weak pass defenses, such as the Chiefs, Patriots, and Jets. […]

Redskins' Offensive Line Dealing With Several Injuries

Washington Redskins offensive guards Shawn Lauvao (calf) and Brandon Scherff (knee) were estimated to be limited participants in Wednesday's walk-through practice, while offensive tackle Trent Williams (knee) was also listed as limited due to his knee ailment. The offensive line is a MASH unit right now, and that's not good for the fantasy outlooks of […]

Chris Thompson Listed As Limited Participant

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) was estimated to be a limited participant in practice Wednesday by head coach Jay Gruden. The team had just a walk-through, so we'll get a better idea of Thompson's status Thursday into Friday. Thompson suffered an injury to his ribs in the Week 5 game on Monday in […]

Adrian Peterson Dealing With Shoulder Sprain

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (shoulder) is recovering from a sprained shoulder, a person with knowledge of the injury said Wednesday.

Marlon Mack Could Return In Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) has struggled with injuries this season. As of Wednesday, Mack started with a full practice load for the week.

Nyheim Hines' Value Tied To Marlon Mack In Week 6

In PPR formats, Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines has flex and RB2 potential this weekend against the New York Jets. However, his value this week is entirely tied veteran Marlon Mack's (hamstring) status for this weeks game. If Mack plays, Hines can't be trusted due to the impact Mack has on his workload. […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Ahead Of Week 6

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It always seems to be something for Lynch, but he should have no issues suiting up in Week 6 against the Seahawks. After opening up the year with touchdowns in the first three games, he has now gone two games in a […]

Devonta Freeman's Week 6 Status In Doubt

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) is dealing with a bone contusion, according to a source. He missed practice on Wednesday and his status for Week 6 against the Buccaneers is in doubt. The good news is that he was able to do some work off to the side, but […]

Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel, Chris Hogan, Josh Gordon Limited

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) and wide receivers Chris Hogan (thigh) and Josh Gordon (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All four should be fine to suit up on Sunday night in a showdown against the Chiefs. Against a KC pass defense that has […]

Dalvin Cook Puts In Limited Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Cook has been a bust so far this year for fantasy owners with 36 carries for 98 scoreless yards (2.7 yards per carry) in parts of just three games. It's looking like he has a shot to return after missing Week 5, […]
