Braden Smith Could Start At Right Tackle For Colts

The Indianapolis Colts drafted two rookies this offseason, and it's possible that both will be starters. The Colts run game has been next to non-existent in recent years.

Derrick Henry Impressing As A Blocker

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had a very nice day Wednesday in the joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Most importantly, Henry's pass blocking skills stood out in the one-on-one and team drills.

Donnel Pumphrey Not Helping His Cause

Philadelphia Eagles running back Donnel Pumphrey (hamstring), who is on the roster bubble in training camp, hasn't been practicing due to an injured hamstring. The fourth-rounder in 2017 added muscle to his frame and looked to be in contention for the fourth running back spot before camp started. Pumphrey didn't play in the preseason opener […]

Alfred Morris Working With Second-Team Offense

San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris worked primarily with the second-team offense during Wednesday’s joint practice with the Houston Texans. It is worth noting that the veteran running back appears to be playing ahead of second-year player Joe Williams, who saw time with the third-string offense. Morris will have to make the most of […]

Jeremy McNichols Working With Starting Unit

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeremy McNichols has been the first running back on the field during practice on Wednesday after looking good in his limited action in last week's preseason game.

Theo Riddick's Role Is Safe

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick impressed in Tuesday’s joint practice with the New York Giants.

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams, who had five carries for 16 yards and an eight-yard touchdown catch in the first preseason game, should start the year as the team's workhorse back, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Ty Montgomery figures to serve as the no-huddle/two-minute back. However, Aaron Jones could emerge as the most […]

Stop That Hype Train! Kenyan Drake

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was a fantastic fantasy find in 2017, but do not be surprised if he is an unforgivable fantasy flop in 2018. It is probably not fair or accurate to label Drake as a sleeper heading into the 2018 season. Fantasy players with half a brain or a couple hours […]

Could Tavon Austin Be Zeke's Kryptonite in PPR?

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott could be the top overall player in fantasy football in 2018. In fact, I had this notion throughout the offseason that he would be utilized more in the passing game and parlay his league-leading rushing yard-per-game average into an overall RB1 finish. But I'm taking it back. Dez Bryant […]
