Austin Ekeler Best Left For PPR Formats Against Cincinnati

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler has typically been deployed as a pass-catcher through his first two weeks in Washington. He should be viewed as an RB3/flex option with a higher potential in PPR formats this weekend as he will face the Cincinnati Bengals. Last weekend, Ekeler saw eight attempts on the ground but ran […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Viewed As High-End RB2 In Week 3

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is coming off an excellent game where he ran for a career-high 133 yards against the New York Giants.

Jaleel McLaughlin Should Remain On Benches In Week 3

Denver Broncos second-year running back Jaleel McLaughlin actually out-touched Javonte Williams in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Javonte Williams An RB3/Flex Sleeper Against Tampa

If there was a game for the Denver Broncos ground game to get going early in the year, it would be for their Week 3 matchup on the road against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that has allowed the fourth-most half-PPR fantasy points to opposing RBs through the first two weeks. Tampa's D will also […]

Travis Homer Going On Injured Reserve After Having Surgery

Raheem Mostert Doubtful To Face Seattle

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (chest) is officially listed as doubtful to suit up in Week 3 on the road at Lumen Field on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

Is Kenneth Walker III Injured or Playing In Week 3? Should I Start Zach Charbonnet For Fantasy Football?

The Seattle Seahawks are 2-0 on the young season and are seeking their eighth 3-0 start in franchise history.  Their first two games haven’t come without challenges, as their star running back, Kenneth Walker III (oblique), has already suffered an injury, and they have had to rely heavily on their backup, Zach Charbonnet.  Now, ahead […]

Josh Jacobs Not On Injury Report, A Top-12 RB In Week 3

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (back) has had his practice reps limited this week, but enters the weekend off of the injury report.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: It has not been a great start to the season for Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams.

Cam Akers Enters RB3/Flex Consideration In Week 3

With Houston Texans running backs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) listed as doubtful and out, respectively, in Week 3, Cam Akers suddenly could be thrust into a starting role against Minnesota. Playing the Florida State product on Sunday certainly comes with risk. The back is on his third team in two years, has […]

Tony Pollard A Strong RB2 Play Against Packers

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard faces the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game on Friday's injury report, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.

Carson Steele Should Get The Start

Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele will take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. The rookie running back figures to get the first shot at the starting job, with the Chiefs placing Isiah Pacheco on injured reserve.

Travis Etienne Jr. A Solid RB2 Once Again In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. has two rushing touchdowns through two games, maintaining an RB2 status against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3. Etienne Jr. was drafted as a borderline RB1 but hasn't quite lived up to those standards. However, this Monday night matchup on the road is a potential bounce-back game for […]

Aaron Jones Doesn't Carry An Injury Designation Against Houston

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (hip) had a disappointing Week 2, ending the game as the overall RB32 in 0.5 PPR. That finish was a little misleading, however, as he had a goal-line fumble that was ultimately an eight-point swing if he had scored instead of coughing up the ball. Still, the former Green […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Zamir White was a popular fantasy pick for managers looking to wait a bit on the running back position and still be able to grab a player who would presumably get starters' touches in the middle rounds.

Kareem Hunt Won't Play In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt won't be available for the upcoming Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Hunt was signed by the team earlier this week. Hunt was a free agent until this point, so he'll need some time to get ready for […]

Jaylen Warren - Week 3 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren saw a significant increase in work last weekend and should be viewed as an RB3/flex play in Week 3.

Saquon Barkley Looks For Third Straight Game Of Over 100 Total Yards

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will take on the Saints in New Orleans in Week 3.

Tyjae Spears Questionable To Face The Packers But Expected To Play

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is questionable for the Week 3 contest against the visiting Green Bay Packers, but he's expected to be ready to roll on Sunday.
