Breece Hall News
Sunday, June 14, 6:00 PM
New York Jets running back Breece Hall was one of his team's lone bright spots in 2025, recording 1,415 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 279 touches across 16 games. Coming off three consecutive seasons with at least 1,350 scrimmage yards, Hall seemingly secured his place as a building block in the Jets offense by signing a three-year, $43.5 million contract extension in May. However, early reports out of Jets camp indicate that the team may be planning for a "three-headed monster" in their backfield between Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis. Dynasty managers may not want to panic just yet, as Hall's production track record and his contractual status may speak louder than early camp reports. Still, the Jets may be looking for ways to limit Hall's workload and keep him fresh throughout the entire season. It's too early for dynasty managers to be looking to sell high on Hall yet, but the Jets' backfield plans are worth monitoring throughout the remainder of the summer.

James Cook III News
Monday, July 6, 6:01 AM
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III tied for the league lead with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024, and while those calling for regression ahead of the 2025 season were technically right, Cook was able to pair his 12 touchdown runs with 1,621 yards on the ground and the first rushing crown of his career. Cook has finished as the RB8 and RB6 in the past two seasons, and with Buffalo's offense remaining largely intact for 2026, there is no reason to expect any significant falloff. The largest change comes at the top, where Joe Brady will take over as head coach, though his previous promotion to offensive coordinator coincided with Cook's breakout, and no team has scored more offensive touchdowns across his two full seasons as playcaller. While the offseason trade for veteran receiver DJ Moore could allow for perennial MVP-contender Josh Allen to again throw for more than 4,000 yards, something he has not done in either of Cook's RB1 seasons, a more balanced offense could also lead to more scoring opportunities on the ground. Despite Allen scoring rushing touchdowns at a historic rate in recent years, Cook has still been one of the league's most active backs from within the five-yard line over the past two seasons, and he is RotoBaller's RB5 for 2026.
