NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 17) - Targets and Avoids

Why don't more teams run the ball when going for two? I don't have stats to back it up but it seems every time a team goes for two they throw the ball. Why not run? The Raiders went for two against the Chiefs and got the conversion. Line up with a three or four-receiver […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 17) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Sixteen weeks down, two to go. Doesn't it seem like just yesterday that Josh Allen gifted a victory to the New York Jets, who had just lost Aaron Rodgers to a season-ending Achilles injury? Each week of the NFL season, I’ll share my picks for each game, and rank the selections for those who play […]

Isiah Pacheco Listed As Questionable To Face Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (concussion, shoulder) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 17 on Sunday versus the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Pacheco missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to return to the practice field on Friday. A shoulder injury kept the 24-year-old second-year back out of action […]

Kendre Miller Has A Chance To Play Against Bucs

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in a huge divisional matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Meanwhile, lead back Alvin Kamara (illness) came down sick on Friday and is also questionable to play, meaning Jamaal Williams and Swiss Army […]

Alvin Kamara Questionable With Illness

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Friday when he missed practice, and he's now officially questionable to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a big divisional clash. Kamara is under the weather heading into the weekend, although he still has a […]

Antonio Gibson Not A Starting Option In Week 17

With a tough matchup on the schedule, Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson isn't a player that should be started in Week 17. This week, Washington has the tall task of taking on the San Francisco 49ers. This year, the 49ers are allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Not only […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Questionable In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is being listed as questionable for the Week 17 game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Isiah Pacheco (concussion) is up in the air to play as well and the Chiefs placed Jerick McKinnon (groin) on Injured Reserve earlier this week, so their backfield is dangerously thin going into […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Cleared To Return In Week 17

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Week 17 and has been cleared to return this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old was injured in Week 13, had the Week 14 bye to rest and then missed Weeks 15 and 16. In his absence, rookie Chris […]

Roschon Johnson In Crowded Backfield In Week 17

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has seen snap shares exceeding 50% only once this season, predominantly operating as a receiving back. While his involvement in the passing game boosts his appeal in PPR formats, early-down and goal-line situations often favor Khalil Herbert and D'Onta Foreman. Without a consistent stream of touchdown opportunities, the rookie […]

D'Onta Foreman Set To Return In Week 17

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman missed Week 16 due to personal reasons, but he logged a full practice on Wednesday and appears all set to return in Week 17. Khalil Herbert acted as the lead back in Week 16 and thrived, rushing for over 100 yards. Foreman has been the preferred back when the […]

Khalil Herbert Tries To Build On Strong Game

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert is riding high after a season-best performance in Week 16, rushing for 112 yards on 20 carries. Filling in as the lead back with D'Onta Foreman absent due to personal reasons, the 25-year-old showcased his prowess. In both games where Herbert assumed the workhorse role, he delivered consistent fantasy […]

Zack Moss Ruled Out Against Raiders

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that running back Zack Moss (forearm) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders after he was downgraded to a non-participant in Friday's practice. Moss was limited in practices on Wednesday and Thursday before taking a step back on Friday and now he'll miss […]

Israel Abanikanda Stays Involved, Sees Six Touches

New York Jets rookie running back Israel Abanikanda has seemingly leapfrogged Dalvin Cook as the No. 2 back behind Breece Hall with the team playing out the string of another lost season in 2023. Abanikanda carried the ball twice for three yards and caught a season-high four passes on seven targets for 27 yards in […]

Josh Jacobs To Be Game-Time Decision On Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce said that running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision on Sunday for the Week 17 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. Jacobs missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday and is trying to avoid sitting out a third straight game with his quad injury. The 25-year-old […]

Alvin Kamara Is A Low-End RB1 In Championship Week

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has now disappointed in back-to-back weeks after gaining just 19 rushing yards in Week 16. While he cannot be benched due to his sheer volume, Tampa Bay is no easy matchup for running backs. The Buccaneers have surrendered the eighth-least fantasy points per game to the position, creating […]

Tyler Allgeier A Shaky Flex Option

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier hasn't seen a ton of action on the ground lately. In fact, Allgeier has single digit carries in three of his last five games. It appears the Falcons have finally decided to lean on Bijan Robinson more in the running game. The Falcons haven't involved Allgeier much in the […]

Bijan Robinson Has Low-End RB1 Appeal

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was able to put together a strong performance versus the Indianapolis Colts last week. The rookie back topped 100 yards with ease during this game. Robinson rushed for 72 yards on 12 attempts, while hauling in seven of his 10 targets for 50 additional yards through the air. The […]

Week 17 of the fantasy football season is underway and while we may have drafted certain players at a premium, it is okay to consider benching them despite their name value, especially now in the fantasy football championship round.

Ty Johnson Stays Limited In Thursday's Practice

For the second straight day this week, Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson (shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday. Johnson could be deemed questionable for the Week 17 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, but he at least has a chance to return to the fold after sitting out of last Saturday's […]
