Emanuel Wilson a Low-Risk Trade Target in Dynasty Leagues?

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson represents an intriguing buy-low candidate in offseason dynasty fantasy football trades.

George Holani's Time as Seahawks RB1 Looks to Be Short-Lived

Seahawks running back George Holani has handled 25 career carries since joining Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2024, and yet he was a popular dynasty waiver add in the early offseason.

Kendre Miller a Dynasty Cut Candidate

A rash of injuries has limited New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller to only 21 games through his first three years in the league, and when he has found the field, he's done little to prove he can be anything more than a committee back. The 2023 third round pick has averaged less than […]

Brashard Smith Still Third on the Depth Chart?

Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith remains in the No. 3 spot on the depth chart as the 2026 offseason moves along.

Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finished 2025 with 70 carries, trailing only De'Von Achane in Miami's running back room despite missing seven games.

Tyjae Spears' Dynasty Value Linked to NFL Draft

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has missed nine games over the past two seasons and seen his carries and rushing yards drop year over year.

Is Demond Claiborne Worth a Late-Round Flier in Rookie Drafts?

Wake Forest running back Demond Claiborne weighed in at 188 pounds at the NFL Combine, putting him in the 3rd percentile among Combine-invited running backs historically. The saving grace is that he ran a 4.37-second 40-yard dash; however, that game-breaking speed did not always show up on his collegiate tape. Claiborne's 6.1% rate of runs […]

Roman Hemby Likely Little More Than a Fantasy Dart Throw

Indiana running back Roman Hemby spent four years at Maryland before transferring to Indiana, where he put up his best statistical season on the way to a National Championship.

Isaiah Davis Faces Improbable Path to Fantasy Relevance

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis could have trouble becoming relevant in fantasy football going forward.
