A gaping hole left in the Panthers’ offense as McCaffrey received over 21 opportunities per game on a team that averaged only 53.8 plays per game! That means on roughly 40% of the offensive play calls, the ball was trying to be in McCaffrey’s hands. Can anyone fill his shoes? And on the other side of the country, what sort of fantasy magic will we see now that we have the perfect marriage of talent and scheme at the running back position? Let’s dive in!

Week 14 is now in the books and boy was it a good one. The Tampa Bay Bucs were able to hold off the Buffalo Bills in arguably the top game of the slate. Tom Brady is now a laughable 33-3 against the Bills as he continues his dominance at 44 years of age. Other notable wins consisted of the Browns over the Ravens, 49ers over Bengals, and the Cowboys over the Washington Football Team. With that being said, let’s see how my weekly DFS picks played out!
You know that feeling when Christmas feels so close yet at the same time, it feels so far away? That is the same feeling I get when it comes to fantasy football playoffs. It’s Week 12 and so close yet at the same time, it’s so far away. This may be a good thing for those that are trying to claw their way into the playoff picture. If that’s you, or even if you have a bye locked up, finding running backs that are getting usage and opportunity is so important for this stretch run. With that being said, there’s a couple of running back options scattered on the waiver wire that are there to help you.

Week 2 is now behind us, which means it’s time to start grinding the waiver wire again. Any little advantage you can gain in fantasy football you take and winning the waiver wire is one of them. Last week we covered Elijah Mitchell, Kenneth Gainwell, and K.J. Osborn. This week I’ll highlight three more players you should be eyeing from highest priority to lowest.

With the injury bug attacking San Francisco as a team in recent seasons, the rookie RB could find opportunities sooner than later. Jeff Wilson has already been struck with bad luck this offseason with a torn meniscus. Raheem Mostert is penciled in as the team’s starter for now, and he has played in all 16 games once in his seven years in the league. San Francisco also brought in Wayne Gallman from free agency this offseason, an RB who has never played in all 16 games and only holds 14 career starts under his belt in four seasons.
In comes the rookie out of Ohio State, Trey Sermon. He was drafted out of the third round in this year’s NFL Draft, and he may find a steady role in this offense. Although he isn’t known as an elite pass-catcher, it wouldn’t be surprising if he turned into one. Right now, there are the three other RBs that will battle with him for playing time, but if he could find a way to become a threat in the receiving game, there’s no doubt that he will take more snaps than both Gallman and Wilson.

Within the last month, we received the news that promising San Francisco running back Jeff Wilson Jr. tore his meniscus at team facilities on May 20th. Coach Kyle Shanahan later reported that “Jeff got hurt sitting down in a chair in the locker room and he got out of it and his knee got in an awkward position”. Just a flukey injury but one that makes these NFL players seem a little more human. Wilson and team staff elected to go forward with a meniscal repair surgery vs a meniscectomy allowing us to discuss the differences in return to play between the two.

As with any league, the context is everything. Your author shares this brief disclaimer as both a reminder for your own best interest as an owner and as a primer to start this article. There are many important questions you need to know the answer to in order to correctly utilize actionable advice. Is the league redraft or dynasty? Are there 10 owners, 12 owners, 14 owners, 16 owners, or is it a multi-copy league? How many roster spots are there? Is it SuperFlex or TE premium or tiered PPR? Is it an IDP league? How many starters are in the lineup? Is the draft third-round reversal? Do you have taxi squads? Each of these questions plays a vital role in analysis within the realm of fantasy football. Before you boldly and blindly follow advice from a website or analyst, make certain you know the context with which the advice is shared.

After the NFL Draft, there are quite a few backfields without a clear picture of who the workload is going to fall on. While it’s possible some backfields continue as committees, more than likely, a few of them will have one guy receive a large volume of the work. That’s what I’m aiming to dive into in this series: who will emerge from the muddy backfields and cement their place as a fantasy value this season?
