Rachaad White Holds RB1 Value
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has topped 100 yards in four straight games. White has a good chance of doing it again versus the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend. A defense that has allowed at least 20 fantasy points to opposing backs in three straight games. The Bucs have given White 20 or more […]
Kyren Williams Goes Over 100 Yards
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams continued his solid stretch of play during Thursday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Williams wasn't targeted in the passing game, but that didn't matter for this contest. He rushed 22 times for 104 yards and scored a touchdown in the win. Williams has rushed for over 100 […]

2023 Fantasy Football Recap: Hits, Misses, and Trends to Pocket for 2024
The 2023 fantasy football season was an interesting one, to say the least. Injuries ravaged the quarterback landscape (especially in Superflex leagues), the 1.01 busted after missing half the season with an injury, undersized running backs shined in roles most experts didn't expect, and a team with a rookie quarterback coming off a 3-13-1 season […]
Israel Abanikanda Limited Again On Thursday
New York Jets rookie running back Israel Abanikanda (illness) had his repetitions limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to an illness. Meanwhile, wide receiver Jason Brownlee (ankle) was a full-go after he was limited on Wednesday. Neither player is relevant in single-year fantasy leagues, but it's worth noting that Abanikanda […]
Matt Breida Managing Hamstring Injury
New York Giants running back Matt Breida (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury in Week 16 and was listed as limited on the team's first practice report on Thursday. The good news is Breida has an extra day to recover this week with the G-Men not playing until Christmas Day against the division-rival Philadelphia […]
Tony Pollard Finally Getting Healthy?
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (leg) said on Thursday that at the start of the season, he was still working through his January leg fracture more than he realized. "I would say it's a night and day difference. You think you're good. You think you're all the way back until you're actually out there […]
Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon Both Limited Again Thursday
Green Bay Packers running backs Aaron Jones (knee, finger), AJ Dillon (thumb) and rookie Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) were all limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. Jones ended a three-game absence by returning in the Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game he had 13 carries for […]
Brian Robinson Jr. Misses Thursday's Practice
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) and Jonathan Williams (concussion) both missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Robinson also missed the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and is now trending toward missing his second straight contest. Fantasy managers banking on B-Rob being active in Week […]
Rhamondre Stevenson Remains Sidelined On Thursday
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) remained absent once again during Thursday's practice session. This isn't too surprising, given the Patriots said back in Week 13 that Stevenson would miss several weeks. The Pats have nothing to play for besides good draft positioning, so they are highly unlikely to be in any rush […]
Alexander Mattison Misses Another Practice
Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) did not suit up for Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Mattison has sat out while he recovers from an ankle injury. It's worth noting that Mattison hasn't practiced in any capacity since suffering his ankle injury in Week 14. That means, Mattison is trending […]
De'Von Achane Returns To Practice
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (toe) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. The rookie back didn't suit up for practice on Wednesday due to a lingering toe issue. However, it doesn't appear to be a big issue as Achane was back on the practice field a day later. That […]
Tony Pollard Has A Tough Matchup In Week 16
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has a tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins in a Week 16 game. Pollard has been the RB18 this season but has underperformed quite a bit, as he's all the way up to the RB7 looking at expected fantasy points per game. Pollard has been better of late though, […]
Kenneth Walker III Misses Another Day Of Practice
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to a new shoulder injury that he apparently picked up in Monday night's upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles. We'll have a better idea of Walker's status on Friday, but he's firmly up in the air to […]
Raheem Mostert Sits Out Again Thursday
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Two straight days of missed practice would normally raise the alarm for fantasy managers, but the Dolphins have also listed veteran rest next to Mostert's name. As long as the 31-year-old returns to the practice field […]
Tyler Allgeier Is Difficult To Trust
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier saw a bulk of the carries during last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers. Oddly, Allgeier looked to be the featured back during this game. He carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards in the 9-7 loss. The former fifth-round has been splitting up the backfield duties with […]
Bijan Robinson Has RB2 Value
Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson saw his lowest carry total since Week 7 during Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back rushed seven times for 11 yards in the Week 15 defeat. The hope is that Robinson bounces back in a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. A defensive […]

Kendre Miller Will Be Inactive Thursday Night
New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) will be inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. Miller returned to practice this week on a limited basis for the first time since spraining his ankle in Week 9. However, the 21-year-old third-rounder from TCU will still end […]
Isiah Pacheco Back On Track After Full Practice
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Pacheco didn't practice or play at all the last two weeks, but the Chiefs expect him to return for the Christmas Day battle on Monday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should have already thrown Pacheco back into […]
No Practice For Josh Jacobs On Thursday
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. The Raiders are optimistic that Jacobs will be able to return in Week 16 for a Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, but it's not a great sign that […]

Zack Moss Trending In The Wrong Direction

He has one more day on […]
