MARKET TRENDS 🧐
Running Back

📈 Stock Up: Omarion Hampton. He finally out-snapped (53.2%) Kimani Vidal in Week 16 while matching him in route participation rate (33.3% each), and that usage should only go up after Vidal suffered a neck strain and could miss time. Hampton has also consistently seen the most high-value work, receiving five of the backfield’s six carries inside the 10-yard line since returning from injury, including all three last week, per Fantasy Points’ Scott Barrett.
📉 Stock Down: Josh Jacobs. He entered Week 16 banged up, didn’t practice all week, and ultimately played on only 39% of the snaps (a season-low for a game he didn’t leave early). It’s likely the team will continue limiting his touches, as the Packers only need to win one of their next two games to lock in a playoff spot, and they’re very unlikely to earn a home game even if they win out, per The Athletic’s playoff model.
✅ Start R.J. Harvey. Since the Broncos' Week 12 bye, Harvey has averaged 19 fantasy PPG, with 21+ in three of four, per NFL.com’s Michael Florio. He’s scored five TDs in those four games and is fresh off a career day as a receiver. The Chiefs have been a tough matchup for RBs on paper, but this should be a game with a very positive script for Harvey.
❌ Sit Jacory Croskey-Merritt. In the last three games that Chris Rodriguez Jr. has played, Bill has played 14%, 19%, and 20% of snaps, per RotoBaller’s Ryan Kirksey.
