Lamar Miller Not Likely To Play

Despite being active for Week 5 Sunday night against the Cowboys, Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) is "not likely to play," according to a source. Instead, Alfred Blue will get the start and serve as the lead back, making him an RB3/flex choice for those that have him handcuffed to Miller. With Miller […]

Alvin Kamara, Cameron Meredith Off Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) and wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) were both limited in practice all week but were taken off the final injury report for Week 5 on Monday night against the Redskins. Both will play in the game. Despite Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension, Kamara remains an […]

Will Fuller, Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Active Sunday Night

Houston Texans wide receivers Will Fuller (hamstring) and Keke Coutee (hamstring) and running back Lamar Miller (chest) are all active in Week 5 against the Cowboys on Sunday night after being questionable to play. Fuller has scored in all three games he's played in this year and is a favorite target of quarterback Deshaun Watson. […]

Dion Lewis Struggles In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis struggled to get going in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lewis rushed 12 times for 34 yards and caught only three passes for 14 yards. Not only was Lewis held in check, but he also fumbled the ball at a crucial point in the second half. […]

Derrick Henry Rushes 11 Times for 56 Yards In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 11 times for 56 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This was Henry's best game on the ground so far this season, but he was still held out of the end zone for the fifth straight game. Henry' value is beginning to creep lower […]

Corey Grant Likely Done For The Season

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) likely suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the year, according to sources. Leonard Fournette was out this weekend and isn't guaranteed to return in Week 6, so Jacksonville is now incredibly thin in the […]

Kerryon Johnson Says He's Fine

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson (ankle) said "I'm fine" after the Week 5 win over the Packers when he suffered an ankle injury. "If I can walk, run, if I'm standing, I always want to go back in, so that's what I'm going to do," Johnson said. The rookie finished with 70 yards […]

Matt Breida Questionable To Return

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals after suffering an ankle injury. The good news for fantasy owners is that Breida had eight carries for 56 yards and a five-yard touchdown catch before leaving. If he's forced to miss time […]

Phillip Lindsay Remains Productive in Week 5

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay rushed 12 times for 61 yards while adding three catches for 20 yards in the Broncos 34-16 loss to the Jets Sunday. A touchdown would have been nice but Lindsay has now put up at least 75 yards from scrimmage in every game this season (excluding his ejection-shortened Week […]

Ty Montgomery Used Sparingly Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery saw very little action in Week 5. Against the Detroit Lions he had four carries for 15 yards and one catch for 23 yards. He saw most of his action at the end of the game when Green Bay was in its hurry up offense. This usage is […]

Royce Freeman Efficient but Limited in Broncos Loss

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman averaged 6.2 yards per carry Sunday afternoon against the New York Jets. Problem is, Denver trailed 21-10 at halftime and Freeman saw just one carry in the second half - finishing the day with five carries for 31 yards and adding three receptions for 16. The lack of touches […]

Aaron Jones Stifled By Coaching Staff Again In Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is averaging close to six yards a carry over his career, but he was only given a handful of touches against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in Detroit in Week 5. Jones ran the ball seven times for 40 yards and added two catches […]

Jamaal Williams Efficient But Quiet in Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams ran the ball six times in Week 5, accumulating 33 yards. He added two catches for 19 yards receiving. This was an unusually efficient day for Williams, who tends to grind out carries for about three yards a pop. Despite this efficiency, Williams’ fantasy value is plummeting. Although […]

Matt Breida Exits With Leg Injury

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida left Week 5’s game with a leg injury. He’s officially questionable to return. Breida possibly aggravated a lingering knee injury that’s cost him practice time over the past couple weeks and was assisted off the field. He had compiled 61 yards and a touchdown on nine touches prior […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 63 Yards In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was the team's leading rusher in their 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. Gore rushed 12 times for 63 yards, though he was absent from the pass game and was out-gained by fellow running back Kenyan Drake 115-63. At this point in his career Gore is a […]

Ito Smith Vultures Touchdown Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith vultured a touchdown for his fantasy owners against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Fantasy owners who started Smith had their day saved by his short-yardage touchdown. In total Smith had three rushes for five yards and one reception for five yards. With Devonta Freeman back healthy this is going […]

Kenyan Drake Totals 115 Yards And A Touchdown In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was a threat both on the ground and through the air in their Week 5 27-17 loss to the Bengals. Drake rushed six times for 46 yards and caught seven passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Drake was Miami's best offensive weapon in a tough game, with 115 […]

Tevin Coleman Struggles In Reduced Role Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman failed to make an impact in a reduced role against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Coleman saw a big reduction in touches as Devonta Freeman recovered from a knee injury. Coleman managed just nine touches in total in Sunday's matchup. He rushed the ball seven times for a mediocre […]

Saquon Barkley Catches Two Touchdowns In Loss

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley caught four passes for 81 yards, including two touchdowns, in the Giants last-second loss to the Panthers 33-31. Barkley managed only 48 rushing yards but got the Giants on the board by catching a pass from wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and sprinting 57 yards for the score. […]

Devonta Freeman Has Tough Game Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had a tough game in his return to the lineup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Freeman rushed the ball eight times for 32 yards, with a longest rush of 20 yards. Freeman also added nine yards receiving on two receptions from his two targets. The issue for Freeman […]

C.J. Prosise, K.J. Wright Inactive

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) are inactive in Week 5 against the Rams. Prosise is a healthy inactive with Chris Carson returning from a one-game absence. Prosise is nowhere near the fantasy radar while being buried on the running back depth chart. The Seahawks could really use Wright back […]

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman, Joe Staley Active

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder), cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) and left tackle Joe Staley (knee) are all active for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Breida has been the much more impressive back than Alfred Morris through four weeks, and Breida is in the RB2/3 mix once again in a game where he […]

Corey Clement Will Play In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps), who was questionable coming into the game, is active in Week 5 against the Vikings. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) out since Week 1, Clement will serve as the primary backup to Jay Ajayi in a tough matchup. Clement doesn't have much standalone value in fantasy leagues behind Ajayi. […]

Dalvin Cook Out Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Eagles. Cook was a long shot to play coming into this one, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to his fantasy owners. The second-year back is now developing an injury-prone label and could become an early-round bust if […]

Brandon LaFell, DeAndre Washington Inactive Against Chargers

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Brandon LaFell and running back Deandre Washington are both healthy inactives for Week 5 against the Chargers. Neither player has yet to be active for Oakland this season. You can continue ignoring them in all fantasy leagues.

Corey Grant Injured In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) injured his foot in Week 5 against the Chiefs and is questionable to return. Grant had one carry for eight yards before leaving the game. If he's unable to return, T.J. Yeldon will be the workhorse in the backfield, with Brandon Wilds spelling him. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) […]

Week 5 Start/Sit - Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

Not all sleeps are created equal. There's the "I had six too many adult beverages" sleep, the "I don't have a thing to do tomorrow so I'm turning off any and everything that could possibly wake me up unnaturally" sleep, the "If I lay down now, I'll get... one.. two.. three... hours of sleep" sleep... […]

Saints Release Mike Gillislee

The New Orleans Saints released running back Mike Gillislee on Saturday. Gillislee had 16 carries for 43 yards in four games for the Saints, but he was expendable with Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension. Gillislee could land with another team in a short-yardage/goal-line role, but he doesn't carry much fantasy value.

Leonard Fournette Could Miss Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), who is out for Week 5, could also miss next week's game. Fournette's balky hamstring is now where it was a few weeks ago, so the Jags won't push their star running back. Injuries have plagued Fournette in his young career, and he's becoming an early-round bust for […]

Dalvin Cook A Long Shot To Play Against Eagles

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is a long shot to play in Week 5 against the Eagles. Backup Latavius Murray will start and see an increased workload unless Cook makes a miraculous recovery before game time. Cook had just 10 carries for 20 yards and didn't touch the ball in the second half […]
