Is Travis Etienne Injured or Healthy? Is Travis Etienne Starting for Fantasy Football Week 9 of 2024?

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was universally drafted in the early rounds of fantasy drafts this season. His elite combination of rushing usage and receiving work made him a tantalizing option for fantasy managers, especially in PPR leagues. He had an ADP of RB8 in PPR for 2024. Even in games he's […]

Dalvin Cook Elevated For Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook was elevated off the practice squad to play in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Cook made his Cowboy debut last weekend and tallied just 12 rushing yards off six attempts. He caught his lone target for ten yards. With Rico Dowdle (illness) sitting out, Cook was deployed as […]

Julius Chestnut Poised For Increased Workload

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut could be poised for an increased workload on Sunday afternoon against the New England Patriots. With Tyjae Spears (hamstring) already ruled out, Chestnut is expected to open the game as the No.2 option. However, the lead running back Tony Pollard (foot) is listed as questionable which could open the […]

James Conner Is A High-End RB2 In Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner ranks as a high-end RB2 when the Cardinals host the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Conner had over 20 touches last week in the win over the Miami Dolphins. He has benefited from his heavy workload, ranking in the top 10 in rushing attempts this season. His volume makes […]

Julius Chestnut (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (If Pollard Can't Play) ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut could be set for a larger role in the offense if his team's RB1, Tony Pollard (foot), isn't able to go. Tyjae Spears (hamstring), Pollard's usual backup, is already designated as "OUT" for Sunday's game against […]

Chase Brown Likely To See More Involvement Versus Vegas

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has taken over as the undisputed option out of the backfield. Granted, Zack Moss (neck) has remained involved. However, with Moss doubtful for the Week 9 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, that should mean even more work for Brown. The 24-year-old has found the end zone at least […]

Ty Chandler Not A Viable Week 9 Play

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler will square off against the Indianapolis Colts at home this Sunday in one of the better on-paper matchups of Week 9. While Minnesota projects to have its way with a non-existent Colts defense, Chandler still won't be a recommended option in the juicy matchup. The 26-year-old back is a […]

Derrick Henry Remains A Must-Start In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry finished in RB2 territory in Week 8 after the offense was getting stifled by the Cleveland Browns and then had to play from behind. They take on another solid defense in the Denver Broncos in Week 9, but Henry remains an undeniable part of the offense and will get […]

Aaron Jones, Smash Week 9 Matchup

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones should be in store for a massive performance this weekend when his team squares off against the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 9. Despite Jones scoring only three touchdowns on the year, he's the RB15 in PPR formats with just one outing under 9.8 fantasy points. This Sunday, […]

Tyler Allgeier A Low-End RB3 In A Good Matchup Versus Cowboys

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier reached double-digit carries for the second time in three weeks last Sunday, and despite averaging just 2.8 yards per carry in the contest, the 24-year-old still has a solid 5.2 yards per rush on the season, which lands him in the top 10 for qualified rushers. Allgeier needs the […]

Bijan Robinson A Strong RB1 In Favorable Matchup Versus Cowboys

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had a quiet day on the ground in Week 8 (13-63-0), but surprisingly led the team in targets and receptions with seven apiece, totaling 43 yards and a touchdown. The volume was the eye-opener, but Robinson has been involved in the passing game throughout the season, catching at least […]

D'Andre Swift A Must-Start RB2 In Week 9 Against The Cardinals

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is poised to be a strong RB2 for Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, a game that presents an excellent opportunity for him to shine.

Alexander Mattison Will Continue As Starting Running Back In Week 9

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will keep his duties as the lead RB for the Raiders for their Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
