Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams had an excellent season in 2025, recording 1,533 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 295 touches across 17 games. The 25-year-old has now logged three consecutive seasons with at least 1,350 scrimmage yards and 13 scores, and he hasn't finished lower than RB11 by per-game PPR scoring since […]

After being selected 22nd overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton finished his rookie season with 737 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 156 touches across nine games. The 23-year-old's season was derailed by the left ankle fracture he suffered in Week 5, as it caused him to miss […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had a resurgent season in 2025, recording 1,338 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns on 287 touches across 16 games. The Cowboys rewarded him with a new three-year contract in free agency, and Williams enters 2026 as the clear RB1 in Dallas. Williams' 2025 production came as a bit […]

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt recorded 805 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 175 carries across 17 games. Particularly given where he was drafted, Croskey-Merritt flashed impressive upside and averaged an efficient 4.6 yards per carry. However, Croskey-Merritt struggled in pass production and as a receiver […]

The last thing a fantasy football general manager wants is a running back who racks up yards between the 20-yard lines but hands the scoring opportunities inside the red zone off to a tailback teammate who eventually scores all the touchdowns. Rushing yards are a huge help, especially in leagues that give you bonuses when […]

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 […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson already showed he can dominate fantasy without taking every backfield carry. Tyler Allgeier logged 143 attempts and scored eight rushing touchdowns last year, yet Robinson still led the NFL with 2,298 yards from scrimmage. His receiving line did a lot of the damage: 79 catches, 820 yards, and four […]

What was once a dying breed in fantasy football is having a rebirth after 10 different running backs finished the 2025 season with 300 or more touches, with Christian McCaffrey leading the way with 413 touches in the regular season, the most since 2014 when DeMarco Murray had 449 touches with the Dallas Cowboys. The […]

Every year, some veterans excel and shock fantasy football managers. Some veterans are expected to thrive, but disappoint those same managers. Let us look at some of these candidates for the 2026 fantasy football season as we head into our drafts. We will look at four players who should be considered targets, and four more […]

The wide receiver spot is the deepest in PPR setups, but nailing your early-round running back picks and finding a high-upside quarterback will be key for […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers -- it's time for another edition of our updated fantasy football rookie rankings for single-QB leagues. This year's class is especially top-loaded, but there will inevitably be a handful of later-round players who emerge on the fantasy football radar in Year 1 and beyond. We're here to help you make the right picks […]

Multiple factors should determine the viability of incorporating a Zero RB approach as you consider strategies to address the position in upcoming drafts. This underscores the importance of creating a flexible plan that helps you adjust to developments that emerge during the draft process. That could include targeting players from other positions if managers in […]

It is almost time for fantasy football drafts to start. This means it is time to find out which rookies are worth taking and which ones should be left in the queue. July 6 starts the Scott Fish Bowl. It's the official start of the fantasy football season. There are 22 rounds, and many players […]

Fantasy football is easy when you draft the right players, right? Of course, especially in the first few rounds of your drafts. These 3-4 players lay the foundation for your team's success. However, not all players in those first few rounds are "good" picks. As I always say, it's not that these players are bad; […]

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that the team finally confronted the wear and tear on their most explosive player, running back Jonathan Taylor, after he had a league-high 323 rushing attempts in 2025, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Taylor came out of last year mostly healthy, but their usage of their star […]

As we move closer to the middle and end of July, 2026 fantasy football drafts will be picking up steam. It's almost that time, and we're here to give you the latest look at the top 300 pecking order with our updated fantasy football half-PPR rankings. Wide receivers and tight ends hold a little bit less value […]

PPR and Half-PPR scoring continue to grow in fantasy football, but if you're still playing in non-PPR/standard leagues, we're here to help! We cover it all at RotoBaller, so check out these updated non-PPR fantasy football rankings for the top 300 players below. By no surprise, the running backs position in king is these leagues. Our post-NFL […]

Carolina Panthers running back Trevor Etienne is still only 22, but there is not much reason to buy the dip after a quiet rookie season. The 5-foot-8, 198-pound fourth-round pick played all 17 games in 2025 and saw just 23 offensive touches, rushing 20 times for 94 yards and catching three passes for 13 yards. […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. does not need a weekly role to justify his price near the end of drafts. The Raiders traded up to take him 122nd overall after he piled up 1,296 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 195 touches at Arkansas, including 28 receptions. He is now listed at […]

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson has carved out a real role in the offense, but it has not translated into much dependable fantasy value. He played all 17 games last season and finished with 50 carries for 200 yards and three touchdowns, adding 24 catches for 263 yards and two more scores on 33 […]

Sean Payton isn't known for feeding one running back, and that trend has continued ever since he took the reins in Denver. In 2023, Javonte Williams shared carries with Jaleel McLaughlin and Samaje Perine, and the same thing happened in 2024, with Audric Estime taking Perine's place. However, things initially looked to have changed in […]

If you play in a dynasty fantasy football league, you know there is no offseason, and you can't get complacent. Knowing when to buy and sell players is one of the most important aspects for staying competitive year in and year out. If you haven't made many moves this offseason, it's time to get started, […]

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will be the team's clear lead back again in 2026, but Mike Masala of Dolphins Wire writes that the battle between Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role will be "one of the more underrated competitions happening" at training camp this summer. Gordon is extremely physical […]

Across 15 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine recorded 469 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 101 touches. As he enters his age-31 season, Perine has established himself as a reliable third-down back who can also handle RB2 duties as a rusher. Entering 2026, Perine profiles as the clear backup in Cincinnati […]

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey (shoulder) still has enough upside to draft, but managers should not treat him like a clean Year 2 breakout. Harvey scored 12 total touchdowns as a rookie, catching 47 passes for 356 yards while adding 540 rushing yards and seven scores on the ground. Denver has praised his route-running […]

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is easier to trust as a 2026 redraft pick than as a long-term dynasty hold. Dobbins looked good when available last season, rushing for 772 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games while averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Denver then brought him back on a two-year deal, so […]

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. recorded 148 scrimmage yards on 33 touches across 17 games as a rookie. Even in a backfield that also featured running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten, Allen Jr. carved out a semi-regular role as a passing-downs back. Entering […]

A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has failed to establish himself through the first two seasons of his career. Thanks to myriad injury issues, Lloyd has appeared in just one NFL game and collected just six carries so far as a pro. Still, the 25-year-old enters […]

After not even receiving an invite to the NFL Combine, the San Francisco 49ers selected running back Kaelon Black in the third round of the 2026 Draft, making him the third running back off the board, after only first-rounders Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price. While head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch have […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. still has plenty of short-term dynasty value, but he fits contenders better than rebuilding teams. Etienne is entering his age-27 season after giving Jacksonville 1,107 rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns, 36 catches, 292 receiving yards, and six receiving scores in 17 games last year. New Orleans then […]
