Alvin Kamara News
Tuesday, August 11, 6:12 PM
New Orleans Saints running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Alvin Kamara have been listed as co-starters on the team's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Fantasy managers shouldn't invest too much stock in unofficial depth charts with the regular season more than a month away, but it's still noteworthy that the Saints aren't declaring a clear-cut No. 1 running back yet. Etienne figures to be the lead ball-carrier after signing a $48 million contract during the offseason, but Kamara is still hanging around ahead of his age-31 season. Last year in Jacksonville, Etienne had 1,399 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns, ranking as the RB10 in PPR leagues. Meanwhile, injuries limited Kamara to just 11 games, and he turned in the worst season of his career with just 657 scrimmage yards, one touchdown, and a pair of fumbles. He was the overall RB46, marking the first time in his career he finished a season lower than RB46. With all that in mind, we would expect Etienne to claim sole possession of the No. 1 spot on the depth chart by the end of the preseason. As it stands, he ranks as the overall RB17 in RotoBaller's latest half-PPR draft rankings for the 2026 fantasy football season.

Jerry Jeudy News
Wednesday, August 5, 5:41 AM
The Cleveland Browns spent two top 40 picks on the wide receiver position in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with both rookies standing out in their first training camp, The Athletic's Zac Jackson believes veteran Jerry Jeudy's time as the de facto number one receiver could be drawing to a close. Jackson specifically points to the emergence of second-rounder Denzel Boston as an inciting factor in a potential depth chart shakeup. The Browns spent a first-round pick on KC Concepcion, who has worked primarily out of the slot through the early stages of training camp but has the versatility to share the field with Boston in two-receiver sets. Jeudy led the team with 105 targets in 2025, but connecting on fewer than half of those looks, he ended the year with only 602 yards and two scores on his way to a WR53 finish. With little change at the quarterback position but increased competition in his own room, Jeudy is not a player who needs to be targeted in 2026, falling to WR66 in RotoBaller's latest rankings.
