Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) took his first team-drill reps of training camp Sunday, receiving two carries after being limited to individual work during the first three practices. Sports Illustrated reported that one handoff came from Nick Mullens and the other from Trevor Lawrence. Rodriguez underwent surgery on his left foot after […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) appears to be making progress in his recovery from a torn pectoral muscle, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Guerendo suffered the injury while lifting weights during the offseason and opened training camp on the active/physically unable to perform list. Kyle Shanahan said in May that the […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams finally gave dynasty managers the season they had been waiting for, and Dallas made sure it was not a one-year stop. He rushed 252 times for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, then added 35 catches for 137 yards and two more scores. The Cowboys followed that breakout […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams noticed that backfield mate Blake Corum is looking fit in training camp this summer, according to Zach Edwards and Stu Jackson of the team's official website. "I would say he's a lot leaner for sure, he looks a lot more explosive," Williams said. The 25-year-old has shown plenty […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor said "there's been some good conversations" regarding his contract talks with the team, and that he has "faith" in the Colts coming through with a new deal, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. There was some speculation that Taylor would be a hold-in to begin training camp this summer […]

The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Detroit Lions don't seem to be as active in contract-extension talks with running back Jahmyr Gibbs (back) as the Atlanta Falcons are with their star RB, Bijan Robinson. Similar to Robinson, Gibbs is currently holding in at training camp this summer as he seeks a new contract […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier sits atop the team's first unofficial depth chart, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. The listing lines up with early camp practices, where Allgeier has often worked ahead of rookie Jeremiyah Love. Arizona signed the former Atlanta Falcon to a two-year, $12.25 million contract in March, then selected […]

Arizona Cardinals rookie first-round running back Jeremiyah Love is listed behind Tyler Allgeier on the team's first unofficial depth chart, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. The placement aligns with what reporters have seen in practice, with Allgeier working ahead of Love in many team drills. The rookie has started receiving more first-team opportunities, […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson looked like an interesting late-round name when he signed in March. That case has weakened. He ran 125 times for 496 yards and three touchdowns in Green Bay last season and proved he could handle a heavier day when Josh Jacobs was out, taking 28 carries for 107 yards […]

Anyone can make a prediction, but few have the intestinal fortitude to put themselves out there and get a little crazy in doing so. It’s hard to win fantasy football championships without taking some risks; mild takes need not apply. It’s time to turn the heat up with some bold predictions. Always expect the unexpected. […]

Picking the right RB1 can quietly decide whether your 2026 fantasy football roster has a real shot at the championship or spends the year chasing points on the waiver wire. Right now, a tight group of running backs -- Omarion Hampton, De'Von Achane, Chase Brown, and Kenneth Walker III -- are landing in nearly the […]

This article is back for the third year in a row. Alvin Kamara and Javonte Williams were hits in the 2025 edition, while Joe Mixon and James Conner were not so much (but that was mostly due to injury). As always, with many of my articles, I won't highlight the obvious players who fit the […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley has displayed excellent efficiency in the passing game through his first two seasons in the league, catching nearly 93% of his targets on a very small sample size, but his current spot on the depth chart suggests little opportunity to expand his role in 2026. Through the early days […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are projected to have one of the most improved offensive units for 2026, and a player the coaching staff is reportedly high on is running back Keaton Mitchell, who joined the team on a two-year deal and is battling with third-year player Kimani Vidal for the primary backup role behind 2025 […]

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Saturday that both running backs, Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., are "competing for everything at this point in time. Both those guys are going to play a lot." While both backs have produced and are legitimate starting options in the NFL, Skattebo is expected to […]

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey will "certainly" be in position to serve as the team's third-down back, according to head coach Sean Payton. Zac Stevens relayed the comment as Denver sorts through a backfield that also includes J.K. Dobbins and fourth-round rookie Jonah Coleman. Harvey already proved useful in the passing game as a […]

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani is getting passing-down work with the first-team offense while Zach Charbonnet remains on the PUP list. Seattle Times Sports reported that Holani and rookie Jadarian Price have split most of the snaps with the starters, with Holani expected to handle third downs and two-minute situations while Price leans toward […]

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price has been splitting first-team work with George Holani, but their roles are starting to look different. Price is expected to handle the regular early-down work, while Holani specializes on third downs and in two-minute situations. Emanuel Wilson has generally worked with the second unit. That is a useful […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is pushing for carries alongside Kyren Williams, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Breer noted that Corum is seeing the game faster and looks capable of adding more big-play ability to the Rams' physical rushing attack. That assessment tracks with the jump Corum made in 2025. He […]

Atlanta Falcons star running back Bijan Robinson and the team are working on a potential long-term deal, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The Falcons recently signed guard Matthew Bergeron to a four-year, $96 million contract on Saturday. Atlanta inked wide receiver Drake London to a four-year $141 million pact while extending tight end Kyle […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (undisclosed) is missing his second consecutive training camp practice on Saturday for undisclosed reasons, according to Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune. It's unclear why Monangai is absent, but for now we'll consider him day-to-day. With the 24-year-old missing practice on Friday, Salvon Ahmed stepped into RB2 duties behind […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is "probably" the team's RB1A "for now," according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Warren had his most productive season as a pro in 2025, recording 1,291 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 251 touches across 16 games. However, the Steelers signed running back Rico Dowdle, who has recorded […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams' ability to impact the game as a pass-catcher is a "wrinkle (the team) could tap into more" this season, speculates Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Atkins notes that Los Angeles has relied on Williams' pass-protection abilities in the past, but that its shift to bigger personnel groupings could […]

Every season, some players go so late in fantasy football drafts and eventually emerge as league winners. Players like Drake Maye, Javonte Williams, Alec Pierce, and Harold Fannin Jr. were some of the late-round steals in fantasy drafts last summer. This year, more late-round steals will emerge. In this article, we'll dive into the eight […]
