Khalil Herbert a Low-End Flex Play with Low Floor

Saturday, October 31, 8:11 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Khalil Herbert will operate as the team's No. 2 running back again this week after Brian Robinson (hamstring) was ruled out for the second straight game. Herbert was brought up from the practice squad last week and carried the ball twice for nine yards while adding one catch for 19 yards. With another week of practice under his belt, the Virginia Tech product should see an uptick in usage so that Bijan Robinson gets a few more breathers after handling 25 touches last week. Herbert could struggle to have success, though, as Week 8 brings a road matchup against a stout Tampa Bay run defense that is second-best in the NFL in terms of limiting fantasy points to opposing rushers, holding opponents to a measly 77.3 yards per game on the ground and just three touchdowns . As such, the sixth-year pro is a dicey low-floor, low-ceiling RB4/Flex option this week.

Kalel Mullings News

Kalel Mullings Making his Return in Week 12

Sunday, November 23, 11:56 AM

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and is officially active on Sunday against the visiting Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. Mullings, who was selected in the sixth round in April out of Michigan, will be playing for the first time since injuring his ankle back on Sept. 21 in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old wideout will most likely be limited to a special teams role in his return this weekend while also serving as backfield depth behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. He is not a realistic starting option in any fantasy football leagues and probably won't be for the rest of his first year in the NFL. Mullings has only played in two games in 2025 and has not seen a carry or caught a pass on offense for the Titans.
