Trey Benson Can Sit In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson finished the preseason with 17 carries for 64 rushing yards.

The 24-year-old is arguably the best […]

Devin Singletary A Risky Fantasy Start For Week 1

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary will be the uncontested lead back in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. While Singletary has shown flashes of efficiency, averaging 4.16 yards per carry in 2023, he has struggled to find consistent fantasy relevance as a lead back in his career (he has never hit the 1,000-yard […]

Bijan Robinson Is A Must-Start RB1 Vs. Steelers In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons starting running back Bijan Robinson is a full-go for your starting lineups for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Rhamondre Stevenson Is Patriots' Top Fantasy Option

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has more fantasy football allure than the rest of his teammates heading into a Week 1 clash with the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Patriots have a very bleak outlook in general this year, there's still an opportunity for players like Stevenson to see decent volume. That starts this […]

Saquon Barkley Dominant In Philly Debut

Chase Brown Draws Flex Consideration In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 179 yards off 44 carries in his rookie season, adding 14 grabs for 156 yards and a touchdown. With Joe Mixon now in Houston, many anticipate the 24-year-old will be more involved than ever. Granted, Cincinnati signed Zack Moss to a two-year deal this offseason, so he'll […]

Travis Etienne Jr. A Must Start In Week 1 Against Miami

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. should be a set-and-forget running back for fantasy managers in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins and beyond after finishing as the RB3 in total points last year. The Dolphins were decent against the run in 2023, but there is no reason for managers to overthink putting Etienne […]

Najee Harris A Volume-Based RB2 Against Falcons

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris is set to begin his fourth professional campaign against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Although the Steelers conducted one of the least productive offenses in the NFL last season, Harris still managed to rush for over 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns.

Blake Corum A Risky Week 1 Play With Undefined Role

Los Angeles Rams rookie Blake Corum could end up having some stand-alone value in fantasy aside from being a handcuff for Kyren Williams. But in Week 1, fantasy managers would be wise to see how he is used before putting him in the fantasy lineups in his matchup at Detroit. The Lions had a good […]

Kyren Williams Faces Tough Test Vs. Lions

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is one of the best fantasy options at his position but faces a tough matchup against the Lions in Week 1. In what should be a high-scoring game, the Rams figure to exploit the passing game against Detroit which allowed 15.79 fantasy points to opposing running backs last […]

Manage Expectations For D'Andre Swift Against Titans Tough Run Defense

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is a borderline RB2/RB3 for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, who present a challenging matchup.
