Fantasy Football Offseason Rookie Prospect Risers and Fallers (2026)

The 2026 NFL Draft is quickly approaching. We are just a few days away from finding out where some of the top prospects will be selected in the NFL Draft. Fernando Mendoza is expected to go No. 1 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders, but no one knows where other top incoming rookies like Jeremiyah […]

NFL Draft History: The Top 10 No. 1 Overall Picks

Possessing the first pick in the NFL Draft is both a fantastic and unfortunate place to be. Generally speaking, having the No. 1 overall pick means that the team was awful the season before. However, the No. 1 pick provides a lot of options. Trade the pick for a haul, or potentially draft the next […]

Buy Window is Still Open for Jonathon Brooks

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) missed the entirety of the 2025 season after tearing his ACL for the second time on the ninth carry of his NFL career. Brooks went down in Week 14 of his 2024 rookie season after missing ten games during a lengthy recovery from his first ACL tear, sustained […]

Quinshon Judkins Brings High Floor but Low Ceiling into Second Season

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins finished his first season as RB23 by points per game, the fourth-highest total in a loaded rookie class. A dislocated ankle and fractured fibula ended his season in Week 16, but by all accounts, his recovery has gone well, and he should be available for the start of training […]

Braelon Allen Still Offers Dynasty Upside Despite Lost Season in 2025

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) was limited to just four games played in 2025 after suffering a season-ending torn MCL in Week 4. The 22-year-old had been expected to play a significant role as a complementary piece to fellow Jets back Breece Hall, but instead was limited to just 93 scrimmage yards […]

Is Rachaad White an Offseason Trade Target in Dynasty Leagues?

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White is trending up in dynasty leagues after his recent change of scenery. Following four seasons in Tampa Bay, White left for the Commanders in free agency. It was an understandable move, as White went from tallying 1,500+ yards in 2023 (RB4 in PPR leagues) to operating as the Bucs' […]

Trey Benson Stuck in a Crowded Backfield

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) doesn't have a direct path to fantasy relevance in dynasty leagues. Benson was once viewed as the running back of the future in Arizona after the Cardinals selected him with a third-round pick. However, James Conner was healthy and productive in 2024, leaving Benson in a backup role […]

Jacory Croskey-Merritt's Year 2 Value Tied to Pick No. 7 in the NFL Draft

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt was one of the most fun stories heading into the 2025 season, and through the first month of his rookie campaign, the man known simply as "Bill" looked to be making good on all the preseason hype. Playing behind an above-average offensive line, Croskey-Merritt was able to churn out […]

Sean Tucker's Dynasty Value Still Comes Primarily as an Injury Replacement

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker had some usable fantasy moments and one week-winning performance in 2025, operating primarily as the third option in a top-loaded rotation. While some of the names have changed for 2026, Tucker's situation appears to be quite similar, with any fantasy relevance still tied to an injury ahead of […]

Every NFL Team's Biggest Need Ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft

The 2026 NFL Draft is just days away, which means it's time to identify every NFL team's biggest need. While not all of these needs may be addressed in the draft, this is a great opportunity to improve the roster. Last year, we saw several teams massively improve their roster, like the Giants finding their […]

First Round of NFL Draft Could Feature Plenty of Trades

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach expects plenty of fireworks in the first round of this year's NFL draft, which begins next Thursday night, according to Nate Taylor of ESPN. "It should be an entertaining night," Veach said Thursday. "There'll probably be a lot of trades." Most analysts think that Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza […]

Jeremiyah Love Considered the Top Overall Talent in 2026 NFL Draft?

Multiple people around the NFL that ESPN's Jordan Raanan has spoken to in the past few days said that Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love was their "top-graded player." The question now is where NFL teams place Love on their draft board given the position he plays and their individual needs. Running backs haven't typically […]

Aaron Jones Sr.'s Role in Minnesota Could Continue to Decrease in 2026

After topping 1,500 scrimmage yards in 2024, Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. struggled through a down year in 2025. The 31-year-old missed five games due to injury and finished the year with just 747 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 160 touches. While Jones Sr. was still Minnesota's nominal starter in the games […]

Is Isiah Pacheco a Worthy Buy-Low Target for Dynasty Managers?

Veteran running back Isiah Pacheco had a disastrous year in his final season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. Across 13 games, the 27-year-old recorded 563 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 137 touches. Pacheco signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions in free agency, where he will serve as the RB2 behind […]

Will Rico Dowdle Emerge as the Clear RB1 in Pittsburgh?

Veteran running back Rico Dowdle had a standout year with the Carolina Panthers in 2025, racking up 1,373 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 275 touches across 17 games. The 27-year-old parlayed his strong season into a two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he will likely share lead running back duties with Steelers back […]

Najee Harris a Name to Remember After the NFL Draft

With less than a week until the 2026 NFL Draft, veteran running back Najee Harris (Achilles) remains unsigned, and that is unlikely to change before teams have the chance to sort through the younger, healthier options of what is largely considered an underwhelming rookie class of runners. Following four serviceable seasons with the Steelers, Harris […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Entering a Second Dynasty Peak

Before agreeing to a four-year, $48 million deal with the New Orleans Saints in the opening hours of free agency, running back Travis Etienne Jr. had finished as the RB17 or better in three of his four seasons with the Jaguars, and twice inside the top 10. While it was his elite efficiency that got […]

Tyler Allgeier's Familiarity with System Could Give Him an Early Edge

Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier appears to have been hand-selected for Arizona's new offensive system. First-time head coach Mike LaFleur landed in the desert with a plan and wasted no time in naming Nathaniel Hackett as his offensive coordinator. The two will presumably marry Hackett's classic West Coast scheme to philosophies from the McVay-Shanahan system, […]

Kenneth Gainwell Should Carve Out Meaningful Role with Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenneth Gainwell was one of the league's biggest surprises in 2025, with his career-high 73 receptions trailing only Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs at the position. After keeping such elite company, he leveraged his receiving success into a two-year, $14 million deal with the Buccaneers, where he joins […]

Nicholas Singleton Cleared to Resume Running

Penn State running back Nicholas Singleton (foot), who broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the Senior Bowl in January, has been medically cleared and has resumed running, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that he's healthy, Singleton is projected to be a mid-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft next weekend. […]

Cardinals a Real Threat to Select Jeremiyah Love at No. 3 Overall

SNY's Connor Hughes writes that there's "significant buzz in league circles" that the Arizona Cardinals will take Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick. The Tennessee Titans and New York Giants sit at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively, and they could be in play for Love, too, if he slips […]

De'Von Achane Spotted at Dolphins Training Facilities

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was not present for the start of the team's voluntary offseason workout program last week, but he was seen at the training facility on Thursday, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Kimani Vidal's Playing Time in Los Angeles an Open Question Heading into 2026

After starting the 2025 season on the practice squad, Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal was not expected to play a significant role in his team's offense. However, early-season injuries to Chargers backs Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris led to Vidal spending a sizable chunk of the year as his team's lead rusher. Across […]

Juwan Johnson Looking to Build on Breakout 2025 Campaign

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had the most productive season of his career in 2025, recording 77 receptions for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. The 29-year-old's 102 targets were good for second on the team behind only star wide receiver Chris Olave. While New Orleans signed veteran […]

Chuba Hubbard Set to Re-Emerge as a Top-24 Running Back?

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard opened the 2025 season as his team's RB1. However, an early-season calf injury forced Hubbard to the sidelines and opened the door for Rico Dowdle to emerge as Carolina's new feature back. While Hubbard worked his way back into a more even playing time split down the stretch of […]

De'Von Achane "Not Available for Trade"

Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said that running back De'Von Achane is "not available for trade" and that contract talks with the Pro Bowler are progressing this offseason, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. The Dolphins released receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa while also trading away receiver Jaylen Waddle, so many […]

2026 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Mock Draft: 12-Team, Superflex/Two-QB

At first it was harmless, right? Maybe it started with a YouTube highlight or two. Just getting familiar. Due diligence, you told yourself.
