Texans Not Closing The Door On Alfred Blue

Free-agent running back Alfred Blue has several teams interested in him, including the Steelers, but the Houston Texans aren't ruling out re-signing him. The Texans could use the depth after D'Onta Foreman tore his Achilles on Nov. 19. Blue rushed for 262 yards and a touchdown on 71 carries in 11 games in 2017 for […]

Jordan Howard Will Be Featured Back

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said running back Jordan Howard will be the team's "featured back" in 2018. However, Nagy also said, "we're going to use multiple backs." Obviously Howard will continue to be the early-down back after two straight 1,000-yard seasons to open his career, but his lack of receiving skills leaves him […]

Bears Won't Trade Jordan Howard

Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard said his agent spoke with the team and they assured him that Howard will not be traded. Howard is slated to be the main running back again in 2018 after he opened his career with two 1,000-yard seasons in Chicago's backfield. However, he was much less effective in 2017, […]

Joe Mixon Reports in Excellent Shape

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon reported to offseason workouts roughly 13 pounds lighter than he was last year. After coming in at 238 pounds last season, Mixon arrived at a svelte 225 pounds this season and is looking to drop five more. A leaner, quicker Mixon would be a perfect complement to the Bengals […]

Spencer Ware Expected To Return From Injury

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said running back Spencer Ware (knee) is expected to be back from his injury but said, "you never know." It's not a ringing endorsement for a player that injured his PCL and MCL last season, and he may be late to training camp. Ware didn't play at all […]

Broncos Releasing C.J. Anderson

The Denver Broncos plan to release running back C.J. Anderson on Monday, according to ESPN and multiple reports. Anderson had his first career 1,000-yard season in 2017 and was the team's leading rusher last year.

Giants Unlikely To Take QB At No. 2 Overall

It appears unlikely that the New York Giants will draft a quarterback second overall. By the end of their process of evaluating the top QB prospects in the draft class, the body of work of Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen is not commensurate with what the Giants require the No. 2 […]

Kerwynn Williams Signing With Chiefs

Free-agent running back Kerwynn Williams is signing a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to a source. Williams had a career year in Arizona with both David Johnson and Adrian Peterson getting injured, rushing 120 times for 426 yards and one touchdown. In KC he'll have to compete with Charcandrick West, […]

Ameer Abdullah Could Be Traded During Draft

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah is a candidate to be traded during this year's draft, and he's more likely to be moved than Theo Riddick because Abdullah is in the last year of his deal and his role is less defined after the team signed LeGarrette Blount in free agency. The Lions are also […]

Kenyan Drake Adds Weight

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake said that he added five to 10 pounds since the season ended as he prepares for a bigger workload in 2018. “So I’m about 215 right now,” Drake said, speaking before the Dolphins Cancer Challenge Celebrity Golf Tournament. “I know as I run around I’ll probably lose that weight. […]

Dynasty Rookie Rankings Update (Pre-NFL Draft Edition)

It's a bit cliche to say "The countdown is on" when speaking about the NFL Draft, but, as we're only weeks away, it's also accurate. For dynasty players, this is one of the biggest moments of the off-season. And once the draft locations are determined, rookie drafts will follow shortly thereafter. Everyone knows the names, […]

Jets Waive Jeremy Langford

The New York Jets waived running back Jeremy Langford on Friday. Langford spent his first two years with the Bears in 2015 and 2016, and he managed to rush 210 times for 737 yards and 10 touchdowns in those years, but he spent last season bouncing around practice squads. The 26-year-old is obviously nowhere near […]

Chargers Waive Kenneth Farrow, Nick Rose

The Los Angeles Chargers waived running back Kenneth Farrow and place kicker Nick Rose on Friday. Farrow was on Injured Reserve all of last season. Rose's release means Caleb Sturgis and Roberto Aguayo will compete for the kicking job this summer.

J.D. McKissic Signs Tender Offer

Seattle Seahawks exclusive-rights free-agent running back J.D. McKissic signed his one-year tender offer on Friday. McKissic impressed with 46 carries for 187 yards and a touchdown on the ground while catching 34 passes for an extra 266 yards and two touchdowns through the air last year. However, he'll be competing with the likes of Mike […]

Dion Lewis, Derrick Henry Expected To Share Backfield

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis told Bruce Murray and Brady Quinn on SiriusXM Blitz that, "They're going to use both of us," with the other back being Derrick Henry. Lewis also said Tennessee attracted him in free agency because they were going to give him the chance to share the rushing load with Henry. […]

Marlon Mack Motivated to Take the "Top Dog" Role in Colts Backfield

With the departure of veteran running back Frank Gore in the offseason, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack seems motivated to take the "top dog" role in the team's running back rotation. While Mack currently has little competition from fellow backfield mates Matt Jones, Christine Michael, Robert Turbin, Josh Ferguson and George Winn, it is more […]

His best campaign came in 2009, rushing 237 times for a career-high 1,062 yards (4.5 yards per carry) […]

Lions to Adopt Running-Back-By-Committee Approach

The Detroit Lions have announced they are planning to use a running-back-by-committee approach next season. That will severely limit the fantasy values of each running back in Detroit. LeGarrette Blount, Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddick and whatever potential running back they draft will be an unpredictable and borderline unplayable fantasy asset next season. Draft accordingly.

Dolphins Turned Down Deal For C.J. Anderson

The Miami Dolphins nixed a trade that would have netted them Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson in exchange for right tackle Ja'Wuan James, according to multiple NFL sources. Despite recording his first 1,000-yard season in 2017, Anderson is due $4.5 million in 2018 with no dead salary cap money if he's traded or released, […]

Giants Like Sam Darnold

The New York Giants have the No. 2 overall pick in this month's draft and are expected to select USC quarterback Sam Darnold if he's available, according to an NFL talent evaluator. "They don't like Josh Rosen," the evaluator said. However, the Browns could easily take Darnold at first overall, making the Giants go in […]

Patriots Taking A Look At Orleans Darkwa

The New England Patriots visited with free-agent running back Orleans Darkwa on Monday, according to a source. In his fourth season with the G-Men, Darkwa set career highs across the board in carries (171), yards (751), yards per carry (4.4) and touchdowns (five) in 15 games. He'd give New England another option in the backfield […]

La'el Collins Wants to Stay at Right Tackle

Collins said, "Right now I’m focused on playing […]
