Christian McCaffrey Shines In Loss

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey caught six passes for 101 yards, including a dynamite 56-yard touchdown catch, in the Panthers 31-26 loss to the Saints. McCaffrey also added 16 rushing yards, but the Panthers never were able to move the chains on the ground. McCaffrey's rookie season certainly can be viewed as a success, […]

DeMarco Murray Listed As Day-To-Day

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee) is being listed as day-to-day this week. Murray hasn't practiced or played since spraining his knee in Week 16, and he seems doubtful to be able to suit up in the Divisional Round against the Patriots. Even if Murray is active for that one, he seems destined to […]

Todd Gurley Rushes For Over 100 Yards

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been seemingly unstoppable all season long, and that continued in Saturday's contest against the Falcons. He rushed 14 times for 101 yards and caught four passes for 10 yards through the air. He probably should've seen seven to eight more carries, but special teams turnovers hurt the Rams […]

LeSean McCoy Ends Season With Strong Performance

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy played well through an ankle injury that kept him questionable throughout the week leading up to his matchup against the Jaguars in Wild-Card weekend, gaining 75 yards on 19 carries as well as 44 yards on six receptions. As has been the case throughout the season, lack of touchdowns […]

Kareem Hunt Held Under 50 Yards

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt struggled to find much success on the ground in the 22-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He rushed 11 times for 42 yards and one touchdown with three catches for five yards through the air. He looked strong in the first quarter, but managed just 17 yards after […]

Derrick Henry Explodes for 191 Total Yards And A Touchdown

Following a game in which he described his own play as "soft," Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry came out with a vengeance. Henry rushed 23 times for 156 yards and a touchdown and added 35 yards receiving in the team's 22-21 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Henry looked every bit the part of […]

T.J. Yeldon Inactive In Wild-Card Round

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (illness) is inactive for the Wild-Card game against the Bills on Sunday. Yeldon typically serves as the third-down back for the Jags, so his absence is a downgrade for their backfield, but it could mean more pass-catching work for rookie Leonard Fournette. Fournette is a strong play in fantasy […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Wild Card Round

The NFL regular season might be over, but the under-the-radar booms and busts will not stop until a team wins the Super Bowl! The wacky Wild Card weekend is upon football fans and fantasy players. This gives fantasy football addicts four games to concentrate on and a larger player pool to work with than later […]

Cardinals To Interview Eagles QBs Coach And Defensive Coordinator

The Arizona Cardinals are interviewing Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz for their vacant head coaching role Friday. Both are candidates to take over for former Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians. Regardless of who gets the job eventually, it remains to be seen how the values of the fantasy-relevant Cardinals players […]

Ronald Jones Declares For NFL Draft

USC running back Ronald Jones has declared for the NFL draft this spring. He finishes as the school's fifth leading rusher. Jones finished with 1,550 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2017, and NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah sees Jones as a Jamaal Charles-like talent at the next level. Jones will add to the tremendous running back […]

LeSean McCoy Expected To Play

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ankle), who is listed as questionable to play in the Wild-Card game against the Jaguars, is expected to play. McCoy sprained his ankle in Week 17 and is hoping he'll be effective on Sunday against Jacksonville. "We'll see. We'll see," McCoy told reporters. "I don't want to make any […]

Mark Ingram Won't Have Contract Voided

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram wasn't selected to the All-Pro team in 2017, which means he won't have his contract voided for the 2018 season. He had a clause in his contract that would've made him a free agent in 2018 if he'd been selected to the All-Pro team this year. Ingram had […]

Todd Gurley Should Destroy Falcons

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley should be in for a solid performance against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday. Gurley was able to win some fantasy owners championships and might even be able to win himself an MVP award. He finished the season with 1,305 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. He scored 19 […]

Kareem Hunt is RB1 Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt capped off his rookie campaign with the NFL rushing title. He rushed for 35 yards in Week 17 and finished with 1,327 yards and eight rushing touchdowns on the season. He heads into Saturday with five touchdowns in his last four games. The Chiefs will likely lean on […]

LeSean McCoy, Deonte Thompson Questionable Against Jaguars

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) and wide receiver Deonte Thompson (shoulder) were both limited in practice Friday and are questionable for the Wild-Card game against the Jaguars. McCoy was carted off with an ankle injury in Week 17 and is believed to be a game-time decision for this one. He has slightly improved […]

Jonathan Stewart Not On Final Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart (back) practiced in full Thursday and Friday and was taken off the final injury report for the Wild-Card matchup against the Saints. J-Stew sat out the regular season finale as a precaution but will be back in action this weekend. He had 11 carries for 45 yards and a […]

Marqise Lee, T.J. Yeldon Listed As Questionable

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (ankle) and running back T.J. Yeldon (illness) are questionable for the Wild-Card matchup with the Bills this weekend. Head coach Doug Marrone said Lee looked better than he thought he would, making him more probable than doubtful. Yeldon is 50-50 with a "bug." We'd be surprised if both players […]

Cardinals To Interview Steve Wilks For Head Coaching Job

Following this weekend's game for the Carolina Panthers, the Arizona Cardinals are expected to interview Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks for their head coaching role. This move makes Wilks as likely as any of the other candidates to be hired for the job. Therefore, the fantasy values of all of the team's players should not […]

Derrick Henry Once Again In Line For Heavy Load

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry received mixed reviews in his debut as a starting running back, including labeling his own play as "soft" despite finishing with 117 total yards and a touchdown. Henry will have a chance to improve upon his first career start this week on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs. […]

LeSean McCoy Too Risky For Wild-Card Weekend

Despite being at a relatively low price point across many DFS sites this weekend, Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is not a worthwhile investment in his Wild-Card matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The most risk comes from the fact that McCoy may not even be able to play, as he has yet to practice […]
