Ashton Jeanty News
Monday, August 3, 6:03 AM
As a rookie in 2025, Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty ran for 975 yards while adding 55 receptions and 346 yards through the air, but he understands that the bar will be raised even higher in year two. Jeanty recently told reporters, "It's always tough being in the first year trying to figure out so much stuff... But this year, there's a lot of expectations for me, and I think I've got to make a big jump." The sixth overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, Jeanty spent his rookie season operating behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league, gaining only 1.6 yards per attempt before contact, but improvements across the line and a new coaching staff should see him better positioned to make more plays in space. Jeanty is RotoBaller's RB7, but if the Raiders can find themselves in enough positive game scripts, he has a legitimate chance to crack the top five of the position.

Quinshon Judkins News
Friday, July 31, 9:42 AM
Cleveland Browns running backs coach Duce Staley said that RB Quinshon Judkins has "worked his ass off" to come back from his dislocated ankle and fractured fibula in Week 16 of his rookie campaign in 2025, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "The sky is the limit ... I think that Q can play all three downs," Staley added. The 22-year-old former second-rounder from Ohio State is an emerging young RB, and although his fantasy ceiling could be limited by Cleveland's offense (especially their QB situation), Judkins is becoming a more attractive RB2 candidate for fantasy managers for what could be lots of volume. In 14 starts in his first NFL season in 2025, Judkins averaged only 3.6 yards per carry to finish with 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 230 carries. He added 26 receptions for 171 yards on 36 targets in the passing game. Judkins' fantasy ceiling could be limited with Dylan Sampson serving as the Browns' top pass-catching back, but it's clear Judkins' arrow is pointing up. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 22 RB for 2026.
