Tank Bigsby Active In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) is officially active for the Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. His fellow running mate, Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring), is also active so the two of them should return to a timeshare in this game. With that being said, it could be a tough fantasy week for […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Is Active In Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) has been deemed as active ahead of their late afternoon kickoff. The 25-year-old was expected to play in this one, so it's not a complete surprise, but at least he's been confirmed. Tank Bigsby (ankle) has also been ruled as active, so they'll go back to a […]

Ezekiel Elliott Disciplined For “Habitual Tardiness,” Missed Meetings

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott didn't travel with the team to Atlanta and was held out of the Week 9 matchup with the Falcons due to disciplinary reasons.

Zamir White Active Against Bengals Sunday

D'Onta Foreman Sidelined Against Chargers

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Foreman had not been on the injury report, so it appears he's the odd man out among a Cleveland backfield that also features Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford, and Pierre Strong Jr. Foreman can be dropped […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Won't Play Against Giants

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) will be inactive in Week 9 versus the division-rival New York Giants on Sunday.

Justice Hill Avoidable For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust option throughout most of the season. Last week, Hill rushed twice for five yards while hauling in one target for 14 yards through the air. It was a dud outing for Hill who is the primary backup for Derrick Henry in the backfield. Hill has […]

Miles Sanders Risky For Week 9

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders saw increased involvement in the offense during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. Sanders only rushed the ball once for seven yards, but was extremely active through the air. The 27-year-old hauled in all seven of his targets for 38 yards which are both season highs for Sanders. […]
