Nyheim Hines Should Be Avoided

If it weren't for a touchdown last week, Indianapolis Colts rookie Nyheim Hines would have had a completely lost week. He and veteran Marlon Mack have similar skill sets, which cuts into his touches. The Philadelphia Eagles are the No. 1 run defense in football right now. Fellow rookie Jordan Wilkins should get the majority […]

Jordan Wilkins Has A Difficult Matchup In Week 3

Heading into Week 3, Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins faces his toughest test yet. The Philadelphia Eagles are currently the No. 1 ranked defense against the run. Wilkins has yet to really develop his receiving abilities out of the backfield, which should limit his touches against a stout Eagles front. Wilkins has the […]

Marlon Mack Has Flex Appeal In Week 3

Heading into Week 3, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has some flex appeal. Last week, he was out-snapped by both rookies Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines. Some of that was due to the team easing him back into things from his hamstring injury, while some of it was the rookies' effectiveness. This week, he […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Lynch is in no danger of sitting out in Week 3 against the Dolphins. Beast Mode has scored on the ground in both weeks so far, but he's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry on 29 total attempts. He'll remain in the […]

Melvin Gordon Practicing In Full

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (neck) practiced in full on Wednesday. Gordon will be fine for Week 3 against the Rams. Even in a tough matchup, Gordon is a must-start, especially now that he's being more involved in the passing game. He had just nine carries in an easy win over Buffalo last […]

Marlon Mack Dealing With Hamstring, Foot Issues

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring, foot) missed practice Wednesday while dealing with two different injuries. Health continues to be a problem for Mack who in addition to re-aggravating a hamstring injury that forced him to miss much of training camp must have suffered a foot injury in last week's victory over the Washington […]

Alex Collins, C.J. Mosley Miss Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (illness) and linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. Collins should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Broncos, where he'll be more of an RB3/flex type. He's averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on 16 attempts through two weeks and has lost a lot […]

Derrick Henry, Taylor Lewan Limited Wednesday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (back), offensive tackles Taylor Lewan (concussion) and Jack Conklin (knee) and tight end Luke Stocker (calf) were limited in practice on Wednesday. Henry has disappointed with just 2.9 yards per carry on 28 attempts through two weeks, and he has just one reception. With the offensive line still banged […]

Dalvin Cook Day-To-Day

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday and said he's taking it "day by day." Cook dealt with hamstring cramps in overtime in Week 2, but it's not believed to be something that will keep him out in Week 3 in a cushy matchup against the Bills. […]

Alvin Kamara Looks For Revenge Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara will be looking to produce against the Falcons in Week 3. Kamara enjoyed an elite fantasy season in 2017 and is off to a great start this season with 240 total yards and three touchdowns through two games. But the talented running back was stifled by the Falcons […]

Christian McCaffrey To Build On Big Week

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey showcased his varied skill set last week against the Atlanta Falcons. Going into his encounter at home against the Cincinnati Bengals McCaffrey is second in the NFL in receptions so far this season, trailing only New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas. Given the fact that McCaffrey can still […]

Fantasy Bomb - Risers and Fallers for Week 3

RotoBaller fantasy football lead editor Pierre Camus (@pfunk00) and writer Chris Mangano (@ChrisMangano) discuss whose fantasy value is rising or falling for Week 3 of the fantasy football season. This radio show is sponsored by our good friends over at FanPicks. Be sure to tune into RotoBaller Radio on SiriusXM (channel Sirius 210, XM 87) - every weekday morning between […]

Giovani Bernard Limited In Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. We'd be surprised if Bernard were inactive in Week 3 against the Panthers, and he'll be tasked with taking over the backfield with Joe Mixon (knee) out at least a couple of weeks. Bernard will be in play as an RB3/flex play […]

Saquon Barkley Has RB1 Status Against Texans

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will go up against a Texans defense still trying to find its way in Week 3. Barkley has enjoyed an active first two games of his career, torching the Jaguars for a 68-yard touchdown and backing that up with 14 receptions against the Cowboys. It is not a […]

Marlon Mack, T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle Miss Practice

The Indianapolis Colts were without several players at practice on Wednesday. Running back Marlon Mack, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, and tight end Jack Doyle all were absent due to undisclosed reasons. Mack had dealt with a hamstring issue and Hilton with a shoulder problem prior to Week 2, but Doyle is a noticeable absence given […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Wednesday. Parker was limited last week but didn't play for the second straight week. It's already looking like he's primed to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Raiders, which […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Do Not Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Doug Pederson has said that both players are day-to-day, but their availability for Week 3 against the Colts is looking sketchy. Sproles will almost certainly be doubtful, but Ajayi is more questionable. Either way, Corey Clement should […]

Corey Clement Could Have a Huge Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement could have a big week in Week 3. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Jay Ajayi (back) looking questionable at best, Clement could end up taking on a huge role. If Sproles and Ajayi sit, Clement would lead a backfield that would also "feature" Wendell Smallwood and undrafted free agent […]

Curtis Samuel, Trai Turner Miss Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (heart) and offensive guard Trai Turner (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Damiere Byrd (knee) was limited. Samuel has yet to play this season because of issues related to an irregular heartbeat, and he can continue to be ignored in fantasy as well as Byrd. Carolina's offensive […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Run the Cowboys Offense in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has essentially become the entire offense for the team. Their whole playbook seems to be, "get the ball to Zeke" written in crayon. Quarterback Dak Prescott has eclipsed 212 yards passing in just one of his past 10 games and has thrown more than one touchdown just twice in […]

Dalvin Cook Practicing Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is practicing on Wednesday. Cook came out of the game in overtime in Week 2 due to cramps. He should be fine for Week 3 against the lowly Bills and will be a strong RB1 play.

Devonta Freeman, Takkarist McKinley Not Practicing

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) are not practicing on Wednesday. Freeman is expected to be out for multiple weeks, so Tevin Coleman should once again be an RB3/flex play in Week 3 against the Saints. McKinley is up in the air for this weekend, which would hurt […]

Wendell Smallwood Could Have a Week 3 Role

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood could have a somewhat significant role in Week 3, but it's unlikely to be enough to create a significant fantasy impact. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Jay Ajayi (back) questionable at best to play against the Colts, Corey Clement could be leading the Eagles backfield against a Colts defense […]

Patriots Release Kenjon Barner

The New England Patriots released running back Kenjon Barner on Wednesday in order to make room on the roster for cornerback Cyrus Jones off the Ravens practice squad. There's nothing to see here for fantasy purposes.

Bengals Waive Tra Carson, Sign Thomas Rawls

The Cincinnati Bengals waived/injured running back Tra Carson (hamstring) on Wednesday and signed free-agent running back Thomas Rawls in a corresponding move. With Joe Mixon (knee) set to miss multiple weeks, Giovani Bernard will be the main back with rookie Mark Walton and Rawls backing him up. Rawls had just 58 carries for 157 yards […]

Aaron Jones Third In Pecking Order

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that running backs Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery are ahead of Aaron Jones, who is returning from his two-game suspension in Week 3. "Jamaal and Ty have played good football. I know what Aaron gives us, but his role will be secondary. Jamaal and Ty will be […]

LeSean McCoy To Be Limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (rib) will be limited in practice on Wednesday as he fights through a fractured rib cartilage that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the Chargers. He was spotted wearing a red non-contact jersey on Wednesday. Not only might McCoy miss this weekend against the Vikings, but the […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) are day-to-day, but also said that Sproles' recovery is "a little longer." With Josh Adams being promoted from the practice squad on Tuesday, it looks like Sproles will be doubtful for Week 3 against the Colts. Ajayi could be […]

Darren Sproles Seems Unlikely to Play in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) seems unlikely to play in Week 3. Sproles already missed Week 2, and coach Doug Pederson said his recovery could take, "a little longer" than that of Jay Ajayi. Even if Sproles ultimately suits up for Sunday's game, he'd be playing on an injured hamstring and likely wouldn't […]

Jay Ajayi May Be Too Risky to Start in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (back) may or may not play in Week 3, but seems to be shaping up as far too risky to take a chance on regardless. Even if Ajayi ends up listed as questionable to play, it seems like the team is preparing to be without him and Darren Sproles […]
