Fantasy Football: Old Faces, New Places: Running Backs More than a dozen running backs will put on a new NFL jersey this season, and that's not including the future talent that will be drafted next week. There are still a couple of impactful running backs available on the free agent market, such as DeMarco Murray and the recently released C.J. Anderson to keep an eye on. Some who signed landed in better fantasy football environments, while others are likely to provide a fantasy hit to their stock or new teammates.The…

Todd Gurley and Kareem Hunt have led many fantasy owners to the brink of a championship in 2017. However, they will be both unavailable in Week 17, as they are resting for the NFL playoffs. Needless to say, this will present quite a challenge for fantasy owners who have ridden them to this point. Owners may be forced to bench players or scour the waiver wire for some Week 17 fill-ins. Conversely, Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone has stated that he will not bench his starters, despite their seed already being set in stone.…

There were a lot of exceptional running back performances in Week 14. Nine running backs eclipsed the 20-point plateau, the most in any week since Week 3 in 2016.

Williams has posted three consecutive top-seven fantasy performances and is third among running backs in fantasy points over the last four weeks. It will be interesting to…

Stop me if you have heard this before, but Alvin Kamara was the overall RB1 in fantasy last week. Last week was his league-leading seventh straight weekly RB1 performance.

Last week, I highlighted the recent struggles of Kansas City Chiefs’ running back Kareem Hunt, but he is not the only running back to…

Todd Gurley’s sixth top-6 weekly finish has propelled him into the overall RB1 spot as we eclipse the halfway point in the season. He has proven that his 2016 campaign was the outlier in his brief career. The Saints’ Alvin Kamara led all fantasy running backs in Week 9 with 25.20 fantasy points. Kamara and teammate Mark Ingram are both top-3 fantasy running backs over the past four weeks, despite a combined four lost fumbles. Their recent dominance coincides with the trade of Adrian Peterson to Arizona. Peterson has been no…
