Aaron Jones Sr. News
Saturday, March 28, 9:06 AM
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. could find himself in a familiar role next season. The Vikings re-signed Jones to share the backfield with Jordan Mason, creating a similar dynamic to last year. The 31-year-old was a low-end RB2 when healthy, but he missed five full games due to injury and exited others early. As a result, he finished the regular season with a modest 548 rushing yards, 199 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns. The Vikings have gradually gotten Mason more involved, while Jones' age and injuries have resulted in him handling fewer touches. He's still going to get rushing yards, receiving yards, and touchdowns -- just not nearly as much as during the peak of his career. The good news for Jones is that his return indicates it should just be him and Mason in the backfield, and the Vikings won't make any splashes at the running back position in free agency or the draft. Still, Jones' days as an every-down back and fantasy RB1 are over. He's falling to the RB3/flex tier for 2026.

RJ Harvey News
Tuesday, March 24, 10:47 AM
Most fantasy managers were not thrilled about Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey's fantasy value going into 2026 when the Broncos re-signed J.K. Dobbins. But Harvey will continue to factor into Denver's offense, and the coaching staff thinks he's "ready for a Year 2 jump," according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. Harvey wasn't exactly efficient on a per-carry basis in his rookie campaign, averaging 3.7 yards per carry on 146 rushing attempts in 17 regular-season games. He ranked 29th out of 32 RBs with at least 75 attempts with a 3.4 yard-per-carry average after Dobbins went down with a season-ending foot injury. Despite his limitations, Harvey had 540 rushing yards, 47 catches, 356 receiving yards, and 12 total touchdowns (seven rushing). While Dobbins' return limits the 25-year-old's fantasy upside, Harvey still has a pretty bright future in terms of his dynasty/keeper outlook. Dobbins has been incredibly injury-prone in his career, too, so it might not be long before Harvey is again Denver's RB1.
