Alvin Kamara News
Tuesday, May 5, 8:00 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) doesn't appear to be planning to retire this offseason, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. "I'm excited to see what we can do together," Kamara said of new RB Travis Etienne Jr. Rumors surfaced earlier this offseason that Kamara was considering hanging up his cleats after a career-worst season in 2025 that ended early due to a knee injury. The 30-year-old veteran and five-time Pro Bowler played in only 11 games and finished with a career-low 471 rushing yards and only one touchdown while catching a career-low 33 passes for 186 yards on 39 targets. The Saints signed Etienne to a four-year, $52 million deal in free agency, signaling that Kamara's eight-year run as the organization's clear-cut RB1 is over. Etienne has a very similar three-down skill set and is nearly four years younger than Kamara, with a lot less wear on his tires. If Kamara remains with the Saints going into the 2026 regular season, his fantasy value is going to take a massive hit in a complementary role.

D'Andre Swift News
Monday, April 13, 6:23 PM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift enjoyed a productive 2025 season, amassing 1,087 rushing yards, 299 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. He ranked as the overall RB15 in PPR leagues, tying his previous career-best fantasy finish. The 27-year-old's breakout campaign coincided with the arrival of head coach Ben Johnson, whose leadership helped take the Bears' offense to the next level. While we remain encouraged by the state of Chicago's backfield under Johnson going forward, it could still be a good time to sell high on Swift in dynasty leagues. Swift is heading into a contract year, and the emergence of Kyle Monangai could lead to a shift in the backfield dynamic. Monangai had 947 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns last year, suggesting he may be the running back of the future in Chicago. We saw Monangai eat into Swift's workload as the season went on, and we wouldn't be shocked if the Rutgers product takes over as the primary ball-carrier in 2026. Swift will still have a role, but managers should consider selling high this offseason while he's still priced as a mid-range RB2. They might not have that same luxury next offseason.
