Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt made the most of 175 rookie carries, turning them into 805 yards and eight touchdowns while starting seven games. He also caught only nine passes. That gap matters more now that Washington has Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen, Jeremy McNichols, and Jerome Ford in the room. The Commanders believe he […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is already the most expensive player at his position in dynasty, and the case for paying that price remains easy to make. He led the NFL with 2,298 scrimmage yards last season, pairing 1,478 rushing yards with 79 catches for another 820. That receiving workload can rescue a fantasy […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee), who was held out of the offseason program, participated in drills during the team's training camp practice on Thursday, per Cardinals Wire's Jess Root. It's unclear what exactly Benson did, but coming off a season-ending knee injury in 2025, the Cardinals are expected to ease both Benson and […]

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle, foot), who was held out of the offseason program, participated in drills in Thursday's training camp practice, according to Jess Root of Cardinals Wire. Conner will most likely be eased back in this summer after he played in only three games due to the injury in 2025, but […]

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II recorded 231 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 77 touches across 17 games. Gordon II began the year as Miami's RB2 behind superstar back De'Von Achane. However, he lost touches over the course of the year to fellow Dolphins […]

The Denver Broncos selected running back Jonah Coleman out of Washington in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft, and he is slated to be the team's RB3, behind J.K. Dobbins (foot), whom they just re-signed to a two-year contract, and behind RJ Harvey, whom they spent second-round draft capital on in 2025. Coleman […]

The 2025 rookie class of running backs generated considerable excitement throughout the fantasy community surrounding their entrance into the NFL. Enthusiasm surged due to the exceptional depth within this talented class, as a group of these newcomers appeared destined to deliver sustained value to managers who selected them during the 2025 draft season. One year later, […]

The 2026 NFL season is fast approaching. Fantasy football draft prep is heating up, meaning it's time to dive into my league-losing picks for the upcoming year. Last season, I listed Nico Collins, Brock Bowers, Breece Hall, Jameson Williams, and Courtland Sutton as landmines to avoid. While not all of those players were "league-losing picks," […]

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 […]

It's so heartbreaking when you draft a fantasy football player highly, convinced that they will produce like their usual selves, and then they go on to have an extremely disappointing season. But there's always the potential for a glorious rebound. Naturally, whenever a player is coming off a down year, their fantasy value goes down, […]

The 2026 season is quickly approaching as fantasy managers gear up for their upcoming drafts. The landscape around the NFL has shifted, with several new faces on new teams or players who are simply undervalued by the consensus. In Superflex formats, these values are easier to find, with quarterbacks ranking far higher than in other […]

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; […]

Some carrots are just bent. Not bad, just bent. And yet, for generations, these bent carrots sat on produce shelves unwanted and unloved. Then, studies began to show that consumers were more willing to purchase even the wonkiest of fruits and vegetables after simply being told that they are just as nutritious as their prettier […]

Let us welcome you to our Underdog Fantasy Football Rankings for 2026 Best Ball leagues on Underdog Fantasy. These will differ from other ranks, as the Underdog Fantasy platform's NFL best ball leagues have four positions: Quarterback (QB), Running Back (RB), Wide Receiver (WR), and Tight End (TE).

With the NFL calendar turning its page from the 2025 season onto the 2026 season and with the NFL Draft and free agency now in the rearview mirror, it’s time to focus on the most recent fluctuations in the dynasty market, particularly that of the running back position. While many fantasy assets, especially those of […]

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) will be a full-go for the start of training camp, sources told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. It's more positive news for the second-year RB after he took part in some team drills during offseason workouts following his season-ending dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula in Week 16 […]

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) is a tough player to value in dynasty because the production is still there whenever he is. He averaged 5.0 yards per carry last season, piling up 772 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games before a torn ligament in his foot required surgery. Dobbins missed the final […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. does not need a huge rushing role to become useful, but there is not enough here yet to call him a redraft sleeper. He played 259 offensive snaps as a rookie, 44 more than Bhayshul Tuten, even though Allen handled only 33 touches. Jacksonville trusted him in pass […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. is built for a contender, even if his first season back in Louisiana comes with a messy workload. Etienne played all 17 games in 2025 and rushed 260 times for 1,107 yards and seven touchdowns. He also caught 36 passes for 292 yards and six more scores, […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall finally cleared 1,000 rushing yards in 2025, yet five total touchdowns kept the season from feeling as strong as it was. Hall started 16 games and finished with 243 carries for 1,065 yards, plus 36 catches for 350 yards. That gave him 1,415 yards from scrimmage and pushed […]

ESPN's Brady Henderson writes that the Seattle Seahawks are "high on" running back George Holani and, by all appearances, "plan to give him a good chunk of work" alongside rookie Jadarian Price and Emanuel Wilson. Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III is now in Kansas City, so as the Seahawks wait for Zach Charbonnet (knee) […]

Tight end premium leagues reward extra points for receptions (and sometimes receiving yards) for TEs, evening the playing field a bit for the shallow position when compared to RBs and TEs. Big-name target hogs like Trey McBride and Brock Bowers are some of the most valuable players overall in these leagues, but middling tight ends […]

Superflex leagues have continued to gain steam in recent seasons, as the format puts a premium on the quarterback spot, which feels more like "real" NFL football. If you're beginning your 2QB draft prep, you have come to the right place. Below, see our full top 300 superflex fantasy football draft rankings for 2026. All starting quarterbacks, […]

Across 16 games (five starts) in 2025, Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason recorded 809 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 173 touches. The 27-year-old's fantasy upside in PPR scoring formats is limited by his lack of pass-game involvement, as he's recorded just 28 catches across 61 career NFL games. Mason is also likely to […]

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks is seeing action with the first-team offense during the team's first day of training camp practices on Thursday, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. A second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Brooks played in just three games as a rookie before suffering a knee injury that […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby is heading into his first full year as the top backup in Philly to star Saquon Barkley after the Eagles acquired him from the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025 after just one game. In 16 regular-season games in Philly last year, Bigsby had 58 rushing attempts for 344 yards (5.9 […]
