Tyrone Tracy Jr. May Start Again At Home In Week 6

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has shown flashes of potential this season, rushing for 158 yards on 5.3 yards per carry, but has yet to find the end zone either as a runner or receiver.

Alexander Mattison Faces Another Uphill Battle In Week 6

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will face another tough test when he takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.

Tyjae Spears - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: While Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears was seen as a breakout candidate coming into the 2024 season, good fantasy numbers haven't materialized, and it's been lead back Tony Pollard that's taken a majority of the touches. While head coach Brian Callahan has expressed a desire to get […]

Dameon Pierce Will Return Versus New England

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since last appearing in Week 1 versus the Colts, when he finished with three carries for 16 yards. With Joe Mixon (ankle) potentially also returning for this one, Pierce's fantasy outlook isn't […]

Antonio Gibson Slated To Start In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson will start against the Houston Texans in Week 6 with Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) already ruled out. Gibson is on track to make his second consecutive start, but this time, he won't have to worry about Stevenson overtaking him early in the game. The former Commanders running back has […]

Gus Edwards Won't Face The Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos. He didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so fantasy managers had a feeling things were heading in this direction. However, with his absence on Friday, the door was closed regarding his availability for Week 6. The 29-year-old […]

Tank Bigsby An Intriguing Option Against Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has decent upside in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears in London. Bigsby is coming off 101 rushing yards against the Colts, and with Travis Etienne Jr. banged up, could be in for another big day this Sunday. He faces the Bears strong defense, but they are better against […]

Bucky Irving - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Despite a rough Week 5 in which he fumbled the ball and failed to crack 50 yards rushing, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is a fantastic start this week against the New Orleans Saints. There will be multiple factors working in his favor. Firstly, the coaching […]

Is Rhamondre Stevenson Injured or Playing In Week 6? Should I Start Antonio Gibson For Fantasy Football?

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) has had a roller coaster of a season in 2024. After starting out hot, scoring 20.6 and 16.0 PPR fantasy points in his first two games, he managed -0.7 in Week 3 and fumbled for his fourth time in Week 4. This led to his benching in […]

Justice Hill A Low-End Flex Play In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill returned to his usual fantasy output in Week 5 after a brief pop in Week 4. This is a good indication of what his season will look like as he's bound to have some big games here and there in PPR formats, but he's too inconsistent to start every […]

Is James Cook Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (foot, toe) is the RB6 overall in full-PPR scoring. He's a fantastic back in both the rushing and passing game and the clear focal point of Bills' offensive coordinator Joe Brady's offense. Cook already has three games of 15+ PPR fantasy points through five weeks of action. He's scored […]

Is Rachaad White Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) has played all five games of 2024 so far, and he's one of the more disappointing draft picks fantasy managers made so far. He's just the RB32 in full-PPR scoring, a far cry from his RB4 overall finish in 2023. He has only one game with over […]

Derrick Henry Aims To Continue Scoring Streak

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has found the end zone in each one of his first five games with the team this year. He already has seven combined touchdowns in five games while coming in as the RB2 in half-PPR formats, behind Alvin Kamara. He's tied for the most 20+ yard plays on the […]

Is Brian Robinson Jr. Injured or Playing In Week 6? Should I Start Austin Ekeler For Fantasy Football?

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. did not practice most of this week due to a knee injury, putting doubt in his Week 6 availability. If Robinson misses his team's Week 6 contest against the Baltimore Ravens, should fantasy managers trust backup running back Austin Ekeler as a fantasy option? Read on for the latest […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Limited Upside Against Bears Due To Shoulder Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was limited in practice all week with a shoulder injury but will play through it, just as he did in Week 5, after being removed from the final injury report. He faces the Chicago Bears, who have been great on defense, but mainly against the pass. The […]

Najee Harris Draws Favorable Matchup Against Raiders

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has yet to find the end zone this season but will be looking to capitalize on a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. The Raiders are surrendering 5.2 yards per carry and the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2024. Harris […]

Tyjae Spears A Decent Spot Start In Week 6

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears faces the Indianapolis Colts in Nashville this coming Sunday in a pivotal Week 6 matchup.

This backfield […]

Antonio Gibson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson is expected to serve as the lead back on Sunday with Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) sitting out with an injury. Through the first five weeks of the season, Gibson has typically operated as a change-of-pace option but has […]

Tony Pollard Creeping Into RB1 Territory for Colts Matchup

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard will take on the Indianapolis Colts in a Week 6 divisional matchup this Sunday. The lead back for Tennessee has gotten it done for fantasy managers this season, scoring over 15 PPR points in three-of-four games played. Fellow back Tyjae Spears has not been much of a hindrance to […]

Joe Mixon - Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to return to action on Sunday barring any late-week setbacks.

Jeremy McNichols Could Be No. 2 Option On Sunday

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols could move up the depth chart on Sunday afternoon if Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is unable to suit up. Robinson entered last weekend with a questionable status but was able to play. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the weekend. McNichols has shined in the few […]
