Can DJ Giddens Re-Establish His Dynasty Value After Underwhelming Rookie Season?

A fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens failed to carve out a consistent role in his team's offense as a rookie. Across nine games, the 22-year-old recorded 26 carries for 96 yards and failed to haul in a single reception out of the backfield. As long as superstar […]

Should Dynasty Managers Consider Selling High on Josh Jacobs?

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs put together another highly productive season in 2025, recording 1,211 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns across 15 games. Since joining the Packers in the 2024 offseason, Jacobs has collected over 2,800 scrimmage yards and has hit pay dirt 30 times. Entering 2026, Jacobs projects to dominate backfield touches […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Can Maintain Fantasy Relevance When Teammate Returns

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. may fall back into the No. 2 role on the depth chart this season, but that won't necessarily prevent him from remaining a relevant option in fantasy football. All signs point to Cam Skattebo (ankle) reclaiming the lead-back role by Week 1, but Tracy's strong second half […]

With the 2026 NFL Draft in the rear-view mirror, it's time for an updated look at the top 300 fantasy football rankings for redraft leagues. This year's rookie class wasn't the most exciting on paper, but a few first-round studs should make significant impacts, and there are always a handful of Day 3 picks who enter the […]

Chase Brown's Stock Back on the Rise After Surviving Another Offseason

For the third time in his young career, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has to be listed among the dynasty offseason winners after the team added no competition through either free agency or the NFL Draft.

J.K. Dobbins a Depreciating Dynasty Asset

When Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins re-signed with the team on a two-year deal in the second wave of free agency, it was viewed at worst as a small win for his dynasty value.

Bijan Robinson Could Just Be Entering His Dynasty Prime

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has posted fantasy finishes of RB9, RB4, and RB3 through his first three seasons, and it's possible he's yet to reach his true ceiling.

Kaelon Black Well-Positioned for Dynasty Success Following NFL Draft

After recording 1,040 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 186 carries across 16 games for the University of Indiana in 2025, running back Kaelon Black was selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

After recording over 1,300 yards from scrimmage and 15 touchdowns across 265 touches as a senior at the University of Virginia in 2025, running back J'Mari Taylor did not hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Seth McGowan Likely to be RB3 to Begin his Rookie Season

The Indianapolis Colts added depth for their running back room by taking former Kentucky RB Seth McGowan in the seventh round (No. 237 overall) of this year's NFL draft. The 24-year-old comes with plenty of off-the-field questions and maturity issues, as he was dismissed from Oklahoma's program after he was arrested in 2021. The 5-foot-11, […]

Justice Hill's Role in Question After NFL Draft

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was an early offseason winner when the team declined to offer fourth-year speedster Keaton Mitchell a restricted free agent tender, allowing him to sign with the Chargers and removing Hill's biggest competition for passing down work from the roster. Unfortunately for Hill, the Ravens selected Clemson's Adam Randall in […]

Audric Estime Buried on Saints' Depth Chart

New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime was called into action late in the 2025 season, and he handled himself admirably, churning out top-13 fantasy finishes in Weeks 17 and 18, but after a busy Saints offseason, he's been pushed well down the depth chart toward fantasy irrelevancy. New Orleans signed Travis Etienne Jr. to […]

Jarquez Hunter Unlikely to See a Significant Usage Spike in Second Season

Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter did not take an offensive snap as a rookie, seeing the field in only five games, exclusively on special teams. The 2025 fourth-round pick was a popular sleeper pick to immediately usurp primary backup duties from Blake Corum following a similarly quiet rookie season from the 2024 third-rounder. […]

Kyren Williams and Blake Corum Could See a 50/50 Split in 2026

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has finished as the fantasy RB9 or better in each of the past three seasons, and for most of that run, managers could rely on a weekly volume floor that made him nearly bust-proof. By the end of the 2025 season, however, second-year back Blake Corum had taken […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs You Must Draft In 2026

Well, this is kind of awkward. The 2025 NFL Draft class was loaded to the brim with highly talented running backs. One prospect was seen as generational at his position, and there were a bunch of other running backs with excellent traits. That translated to quite a bit of on-the-field production. Were it not for […]

Can Javonte Williams Replicate 2025 Success in 2026?

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was one of the surprise success stories of the 2025 season, recording 1,338 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns on 287 touches across 16 games.

James Conner Buried on Cardinals' Depth Chart Heading into 2026

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) had his 2025 season cut short after suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 3.

Cam Skattebo's Role Survives the NFL Draft

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo doesn't face any additional competition following the NFL Draft. There had been some speculation that the Giants could be a landing spot for Jeremiyah Love or another top running back prospect, but that never came to fruition. It appears that New York remains satisfied with a backfield of […]

Run-Heavy Apparoach Set to Benefit TreVeyon Henderson?

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson should benefit from the team's anticipated run-heavy approach in 2026. As it stands, the Patriots' receiving corps has taken a step backward this offseason, with Stefon Diggs essentially being replaced by Romeo Doubs. Without a flashy new weapon for Drake Maye to throw to, all signs point to […]

Jaydon Blue Will Need to Show More in Year 2 to Stick on Dynasty Rosters

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue was a fifth-round pick in 2025, and after only one year in the league, he's already fighting for his roster life at the bottom of dynasty benches. Blue was a healthy scratch in 12 weeks as a rookie, and when he saw the field, he averaged only 3.4 yards […]

John Shipley of Sports Illustrated has Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. listed atop the team's RB depth chart ahead of training camp.

Chiefs "Super High" on Emmett Johnson

The Kansas City Chiefs were "super high" on former Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson before selecting him in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL draft, and vice president of player personnel Ryne Nutt said the team was surprised he was still available in the fifth round when they traded up to take him. Johnson […]

Jonah Coleman has Clear "Three-Down Potential" in Denver's Offense

Denver Broncos rookie fourth-round running back Jonah Coleman has clear "three-down potential" in the team's offense, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.
