For the majority of his time with the Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier was one of the NFL's most qualified backups behind Falcons superstar Bijan Robinson. When Allgeier signed with the Cardinals in March, it looked like he might get his opportunity to start. However, Arizona followed up the signing by using […]

After spending the first three years of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, running back Emanuel Wilson is entering his first season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2026. Wilson was a productive player while mostly playing a backup role in Green Bay in 2025, recording 595 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 140 […]

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson recorded 446 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 98 touches across 15 games as a rookie. The 21-year-old did the majority of his damage as a receiver out of the backfield, as he finished with more receiving yards (271) than rushing […]

The Philadelphia Eagles traded for running back Tank Bigsby after Week 1 of the 2025 season, and while much of his contribution from that point forward came in the return game, a full offseason with the team could have the fourth-year back in line for primary backup responsibilities behind Saquon Barkley in one of fantasy's […]

Dynasty is a form of fantasy football that has been rising in popularity over the years. Not only is it a year-round game, but it also lets fantasy players act like an NFL general manager, making draft picks and trades that shape the roster's long-term future. Finding diamonds in the rough is perhaps the most […]

In fantasy football, running backs are the ultimate heartbreaker position. You draft a talented back with high expectations, only to watch him deliver a string of frustrating, low-output games that tank your weekly score. The culprit is often hiding in plain sight: a poor offensive line. When the big guys up front can’t create lanes, […]

After a season in which the Kansas City Chiefs finished near the bottom of the league in rush attempts, rushing yards, and field-flipping runs, the team completely overhauled the running back position, leaving their lone returner from last season, Brashard Smith, fighting for a roster spot. A seventh-round pick in 2025, Smith finished his rookie […]

Fantasy football league winners come in many different shapes and sizes nowadays. They can be a massive draft value relative to their draft position, or they can be a player who puts together a historically dominant season. Both types propel you one step closer to a championship. Today, we will look at players I believe […]

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had the start of his 2025 season disrupted by a knee injury, and he finished the year with 332 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 75 touches. As long as star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) makes a full recovery from offseason shoulder surgery and is ready for […]

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot/ankle) is still working his way back from the gruesome foot/ankle injury that ended his 2025 season in Week 3. While Conner should be available to play in 2026, the landscape around him in Arizona has shifted dramatically. The Cardinals overhauled their coaching staff, signed running back Tyler Allgeier […]

In case the Detroit Lions' trading of David Montgomery to the Texans was not enough of a signal that fourth-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs was going to be the team's bell-cow back for the 2026 season, head coach Dan Campbell said the words clear as day in one of his first media sessions of organized […]

When deciding whether to buy or sell in dynasty, it comes down to a simple rule of thumb. If you are clearly not a top-3 contender in your league, you generally want to sell. Now, when trying to decide what to sell, the running back position is one you want to consider parting with first, […]

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai recorded 947 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 187 touches across 17 games. Monangai split backfield work with Bears veteran D'Andre Swift in 2025, and both backs remain on Chicago's roster entering 2026. While Swift's presence could continue to limit Monangai's […]

The Detroit Lions have made it clear that running back Jahmyr Gibbs will be their bell-cow back in 2026, which means that newcomer Isiah Pacheco must prepare for a backup role in his new digs, according to Kory Woods of MLive Media Group. Pacheco, who won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs, signed […]

Former Navy star Eli Heidenreich is listed as an RB/WR with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he was assigned a RB number (No. 29) and has been working with the RBs during individual drills and "overwhelmingly lined up" in the backfield during team drills during offseason workouts, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. RBs coach […]

The Houston Texans traded for former Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery in the offseason and signed him to a two-year, $16.5 million extension. KPRC 2 Sports' Aaron Wilson writes that the arrival of Montgomery in Houston "should allow the Texans to build a punishing run game and become a better red-zone and play-action offense." […]

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II played in all 17 games as a rookie but accumulated fewer than 200 rushing yards at an unimpressive 2.8 yards per carry average. Unable to take advantage of the early time missed by 2024 fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, Gordon's fantasy prospects look grim heading into his second season. […]

Baltimore Ravens running back Adam Randall stands out from previous receivers turned running backs in that he's 6'2" and 235 pounds. While neither his background as a pass-catcher nor his impressive size consistently showed up in his one full season as a running back at Clemson, he has obvious tools with which to work and […]

Tennessee Titans running back Nicholas Singleton was a fifth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and while Day 3 running backs have rarely found fantasy success, there is enough working in his favor to make him a worthwhile pick in the later rounds of rookie drafts. Singleton catches the ball well and has a rare […]

The 2026 NFL season may still be a few months away, but there's no better time than the present to prepare for your redraft fantasy football leagues. Having already completed at least 50 drafts, I can tell you the back end of this year's running back landscape is particularly interesting. Today, we'll look at eight […]

July is almost upon us, so that opening kickoff is basically just around the corner. Before you know it, we're going to be sweating training camp reports, five-second camp clips, and preseason games as your 2026 fantasy football drafts draw near. Allow us to put names on your radar before then and get you ready […]

The Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud doesn't think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want to give running back Bucky Irving 15-plus carries again in 2026 due to injury concerns. When discussing newcomer Kenneth Gainwell, who was the MVP of the Pittsburgh Steelers offense last year, Stroud said, "That's not backup money. I think they will go […]

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) put together an all-world season in 2025, recording 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 305 touches across 16 games. Even with the rest of the Miami offense crumbling around him, Achane led the NFL in yards per carry (5.7) and recorded 67 catches for 488 yards […]

The sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty entered his rookie season with plenty of fantasy hype. The 22-year-old volumed his way to a solid season, recording 1,321 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 321 touches across 17 games. However, he averaged just 3.7 yards per carry […]

After seeing limited playing time as a rookie in 2024, Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum took on a significantly larger role in his team's offense in 2025. Across 17 games, the 25-year-old recorded 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 145 carries. Corum's workload upside with Los Angeles remains limited by the presence […]

Washington Commanders rookie running back Kaytron Allen was one of the more productive running backs in college football during his time at Penn State, recording over 2,600 scrimmage yards and 25 touchdowns over his final two seasons for the Nittany Lions. However, Allen fell to the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite the […]

After recording 1,047 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 207 touches across 12 games in his senior season at Wake Forest, running back Demond Claiborne was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Claiborne is unlikely to see significant playing time in Minnesota as a rookie, as he […]

Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 275 touches. The 29-year-old has been both consistent and durable in recent years, recording four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played and 1,000 rushing yards. Pollard may also have more chances to score […]

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been one of fantasy's most consistent contributors when healthy, but allowing for the uncertainty stemming from his pending legal situation, he projects as one of the biggest boom-or-bust picks in 2026 drafts. Jacobs was the RB5 in 2024 and remained a top 12 fantasy back last season […]
