Breece Hall News
Thursday, July 23, 11:12 AM
New York Jets running back Breece Hall finally cleared 1,000 rushing yards in 2025, yet five total touchdowns kept the season from feeling as strong as it was. Hall started 16 games and finished with 243 carries for 1,065 yards, plus 36 catches for 350 yards. That gave him 1,415 yards from scrimmage and pushed his four-year career total to 5,040. The Jets followed by signing the 25-year-old to a three-year extension, removing the contract question that hung over his dynasty value. Braelon Allen is healthy again, and Isaiah Davis played well when given touches last season. Aaron Glenn has called the group a three-headed backfield, so Hall may not dominate every week. His receiving work also bears watching after his targets fell from 95 in 2023 to 48 last year. Hall still sits at the front of the room, though, and New York has made a serious commitment to keeping him there. RotoBaller ranks him 44th overall and RB14 in dynasty. Contenders can pursue the immediate workload, while rebuilders do not need to move a 25-year-old back with long-term security and a proven receiving profile.

Kaleb Johnson News
Friday, July 31, 7:11 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson earned a third-down rep with the first-team offense on Friday, as pointed out by Steelers beat writer Nick Farabaugh. Friday's session was a low-intensity walk-through, so Johnson's work with the starting offense carries less signal than it might in a full-padded practice, but his dynasty managers will surely welcome any signs of momentum gained. Johnson was a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft but disappointed as a rookie with only 69 rushing yards on 28 carries. He now looks for a clean slate with a brand new coaching staff, and while he remains firmly behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle on the depth chart, his presence in a situational third-down role should be viewed with encouragement in a Steelers offense likely to continue featuring its backs in the passing game. Johnson is outside RotoBaller's top 300 players for 2026 and has fallen to RB57 in the latest dynasty rankings.
