Hi RotoBallers, and welcome back to our DraftKings Main Slate article. I suppose the elephant in the room is the fact that six teams are on byes this week, which forces us to make some tough choices when constructing DFS lineups for this slate. I also think you'll find that this week's article features some […]

Travis Homer Poised For Bigger Role Against 49ers In Week 14

Due to injuries to key teammates, Travis Homer may transition from special teams ace to starting running back for the Chicago Bears in Week 14. Both D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) are dealing with injuries, which could open the door for Homer to get the nod. Swift was limited in Friday's practice after […]

Alvin Kamara Gets Juicy Matchup In Week 14

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is set up for a big game in Week 14 against the New York Giants. The Giants allow the second-highest yards per carry (5.04) and the fifth-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. Kamara ranks third in touches per game (22.1), and he will see plenty […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. A Viable RB2 In Week 14

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a reliable fantasy option since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 14.59 fantasy points per game, ranking 20th among RBs in that span. In Week 13 against the Cowboys, he logged 32 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground while adding […]

Jonathon Brooks To Be Closely Watched Once Again

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks looks to test his talents against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. Brooks was active for his second-ever NFL game last week and showed off his prowess in limited touches. The Texas product caught all three targets for 23 yards and carried the ball six times for 18 […]

Chuba Hubbard Draws Bad Matchup Against Eagles Following Disaster Game

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard will test his legs against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14, who rank third in fewest points allowed to halfbacks. In Week 13, Hubbard had his worst performance since Week 1, recording just 43 yards on 12 carries, no receiving targets, and a game-losing fumble in overtime. The concerns […]

Hassan Haskins Should Maintain A Role In Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins should still have a role in a Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Haskins has been in a depth role all season, but he ended up playing 45% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 12. He was in on 15% in […]

Kimani Vidal Could See His Role Grow In Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal could see his role grow in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Vidal played behind Gus Edwards in Week 13 with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR, but Edwards has been ineffective all season while Vidal has shown some solid burst and […]

Gus Edwards Not A Good Option In Week 14 Despite A Nominal Starting Role

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is not a strong fantasy option in Week 14 despite at least nominally being the leader of the LA backfield. Edwards led the Chargers in Week 13 by being on the field for 52% of the offensive snaps, including 64% of the rushing plays, but he did not […]

Saquon Barkley Ready To Roll Against Carolina

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has had an MVP-caliber year. Through 12 games, the 27-year-old has 1,499 rushing yards, already surpassing his career-high from 2022. He also has 13 touchdowns, with five occurring in the last three weeks. With the Panthers on tap for Week 14, Barkley is expected to have a fantastic fantasy […]

Jaylen Wright Still Not Startable In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright is coming off a game where he failed to record a single touch. De'Von Achane has a clear workhorse role in this backfield, but the backup running back splits are inconsistent. Although Raheem Mostert (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the New York Jets, he has three consecutive […]

De'Von Achane Looks To Continue Excellent Play Vs. Jets

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the best running backs in fantasy football over the last several weeks. Achane has scored four touchdowns in his last three games and now ranks as the RB9 in PPR formats. He also has the second most receiving yards (429) by a running back in […]

Jaylen Warren Will Hope To Repeat Success Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had his most prolific showing of the season against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 and will hope to find similar success in a second meeting with his division rival on Sunday. Warren was outshined by Najee Harris last week but still managed to contribute as a pass-catcher out […]

Najee Harris Has RB2 Value Against Cleveland

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris had his best fantasy outing of the season in Week 13 and will look to keep rolling against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Harris was ineffective against this Browns' defense two weeks ago, but he remained a focal point of the offense with 18 opportunities. Even if Jaylen Warren […]

Isaac Guerendo An RB2 With Upside In Week 14

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo will be in the spotlight for a Week 14 home contest versus the Chicago Bears. The fourth-round pick out of Louisville will be making his first career start in place of the injured Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle). The 49ers traded up to get Guerendo […]

Braelon Allen Could Be In Line For Expanded Role In Week 14

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen could get his chance to lead the team's backfield in a Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Starter Breece Hall (knee) missed practice all week and is listed as doubtful for the upcoming matchup, which would pave the way for Allen to start and get the majority […]

Should I Pickup Braelon Allen or Isaiah Davis? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

The New York Jets take on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but the Jets will be without an important piece as running back Breece Hall is expected to be out. With Hall sidelined, the Jets rushing attack would center on Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, but what's the fantasy football outlook for those two players? […]

Ray Davis Remains A Must-Stash RB Entering Week 14

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has zero starts this season but remains one of the most valuable bench stashes as the fantasy football postseason nears. The rookie showed his worth in spot duty in the snow against the San Francisco 49ers, tallying 12 touches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Davis has been effective […]

James Cook Rides Touchdown Streak Into Week 14

What a difference a year makes. Last season, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook's lack of touchdowns (six) prevented him from ascending to elite status. This season, the 25-year-old has 12 touchdowns in 11 games, including four in his last three. The Rams haven't allowed a running back to catch a touchdown this season, but […]

Jerome Ford A PPR Flex Option In Week 14

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford had one of his most productive games in weeks in a Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos, rolling up 62 yards on 10 touches. Ford will look to build upon that performance on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. The Steelers have been decent against […]

Nick Chubb An RB In Week 14 Against The Steelers

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is coming off a slow performance that saw him gain just 21 yards on nine carries in a high-scoring loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. The Steelers have been decent against […]

Is Alexander Mattison Playing This Week? Latest Injury Update for Raiders RB in Week 14?

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison has missed the team's past two games with an ankle injury. Mattison has been limited in practice this week, but he's at least been at practice, which is an upgrade. Will he play against the Buccaneers in Week 14? Read on for the latest injury updates on Raiders […]

Bijan Robinson A High-Floor RB1 Despite Tough Matchup In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off of a 32-touch performance last week in which he eclipsed 100 yards rushing and scored. It was the eighth time in 12 games that the 22-year-old tallied 100-plus total yards rushing and receiving and the eighth time he scored. All that has made him a top […]

Sean Tucker Might See More Snaps

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker hasn't seen much of the field since his breakout 136-yard performance in Week 6. In fact, Tucker didn't even have any carries during last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old was only used on special teams, but Tucker could have more involvement this weekend. Fellow back […]
