Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is not happy with his current role. The former fourth overall draft pick thinks the team is making him "look bad" by not targeting him enough in the passing game. "I need the ball at least 10 times -- I need 10 targets -- and l'll be fine with […]
Full Story »Future Tense: The Arizona Fall League, Part IV: Peoria Javelinas
Given the performance of the teams supplying the Javelinas, one would think that there would be great talent on this team. Alas, that is not to be the case. While the Atlanta Braves have provided quality to this club, they are just about the only ones. The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres foolishly thought that they […]

As the NFL season progresses, injuries continue to occur. While it's heartbreaking to watch an elite talent like Jamaal Charles tear his ACL, it opens up opportunities for other running backs.

The second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup kicked off with Joey Logano dominating Charlotte and locking himself in the next round. The top 10 was loaded with Chase drivers as expected. This keeps the standings tight at the top with only 13 points separating the top 8 drivers. The biggest stories of the […]
Full Story »Alfred Morris, Matt Jones, Chris Thompson - Week 6 Fantasy Outlooks
Okay, what is going on here? After declaring that Alfred Morris had regained control of the backfield in Washington, he ended up with the least touches among the three running backs on the team. Matt Jones saw the majority of the work here, but still posted a somewhat ineffective 11-20-1 line. His early season success seems […]
Full Story »Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle, Christine Michael - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Darren McFadden has absorbed Lance Dunbar's role as the pass-catching back in addition to maintaining his handful of carries for the Cowboys. The result was 78 yards on five carries and nine receptions. All of the sudden, McFadden is a tantalizing option in PPR leagues. His role and productivity is only likely to increase as […]
Full Story »DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews, Shane Vereen - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
The roles in the Ginats backfield were further affirmed on Sunday night against the 49ers, as Rashad Jennings led the committee in carries while Shane Vereen was the featured back in the passing game. By the numbers, Vereen had the most impressive performance of the three, racking up 110 yards on 13 touches with a […]
Full Story »T.J. Yeldon, Antonio Andrews, Bishop Sankey - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Tennessee has entered into a true RBBC situation, as Bishop Sankey, Dexter McCluster and Antonio Andrews all received an equal amount of carries and success, or lack thereof. Andrews was the only back who recorded over 50 yards from scrimmage with 54 yards on ten touches. Similarly to the opposing Buffalo Bills, the quarterback Marcus […]
Full Story »Frank Gore, Arian Foster - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Frank Gore looked good against the Texans on Thursday night, posting an encouraging 22-98-1 line. He was not targeted in the passing game, which is not unusual. Still, Gore remains the only running back of any consequence in Indianapolis. Thus far, his performance has been polarized. Perhaps he should only be started when the situation looks […]
Full Story »Giovani Bernard, Jeremy Hill, Duke Johnson - Week 6 Fantasy Outlooks
It seems quite certain the Giovani Bernard has regained the starting duties from sophomore RB Jeremy Hill in Cincinnati. Bernard managed 101 yards on 20 touches compared to just 25 yards on nine touches for Hill. This game comes to the dismay of owners who spent an early draft pick on a now-backup running back. […]
Full Story »Melvin Gordon, Danny Woodhead, Latavius Murray, Marcel Reece - Fantasy Running Back Outlooks
Week 5 showed another sign of regression for Latavius Murray, who only recorded 57 yards on 16 touches, good for his lowest total of the year. There were a ton of different faces popping up in the Raiders backfield in this contest, as Murray, Jamize Olawale, Roy Helu and fullback Marcel Reece all managed more […]
Full Story »Charcandrick West, Knile Davis, C.J. Anderson, Ronnie Hillman - Week 6 Fantasy Outlooks
Another week, another uninspiring performance from the Broncos backfield. C.J. Anderson continued his poor play with just 22 yards on 11 carries, followed by more poor play from Hillman's 7-21-0 afternoon. Neither of these guys should show their faces in starting fantasy rosters until further notice. In all fairness, much of the backfield's struggles are […]
Full Story »Lamar Miller, LeSean McCoy, Dan Herron - Week 6 Outlooks
In the absence of both starting running backs in Week 5, Buffalo could not muster much of a running game. Though it was reported that Boobie Dixon would receive starting duties, newly-signed back Dan Herron surprisingly led the team with nine carries. Dixon managed 39 yards on ten touches. The leading rusher was quarterback Tyrod […]
Full Story »LeGarrette Blount, Dion Lewis, Chris Ivory - Week 6 Outlooks
Although LeGarrette Blount led the Patriots backfield in carries again this week, Dion Lewis continued to impress in the backup role. When I say impress, I mean this. Lewis looked like a break dancer en route to the end zone against the Cowboys, ducking and contorting his body to score six. On the afternoon, the […]
