Christian McCaffrey News
Friday, May 29, 10:44 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was an unquestionably dominant force in fantasy football in 2025, collecting 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns on 413 touches across 17 games. Even in a year in which he averaged just 3.9 yards per carry, McCaffrey provided ridiculous receiving production with 102 catches for 924 yards and seven scores on 124 targets. As long as McCaffrey stays healthy, he has a solid chance to finish as the overall RB1 once again in 2026. However, dynasty managers need to at least consider selling high on the superstar back. McCaffrey is entering his age-30 season in 2026. He also has an extensive track record of injury issues and is coming off a year in which he led the NFL in touches. The last time McCaffrey led the league in touches was 2023, and he followed that up by playing just four games in 2024. For dynasty managers who are not in immediate contention in their leagues, moving McCaffrey for a king's ransom could be the right call.

Saquon Barkley News
Tuesday, May 5, 7:19 AM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley's ranking in dynasty fantasy football leagues has started to decline now that he's 29 years old. We don't quite know how many seasons he has remaining in his career, but we do know that there's still enough left in the tank for another big year or two. As a result, Barkley represents an interesting trade target for dynasty managers looking to win now. Since he's getting older, his price tag is dropping in trade talks, but he still has the potential to be the RB1 or RB2 on a championship-winning fantasy roster. After all, he was the overall RB14 in PPR leagues last year, and he was the overall RB2 just two years ago. Barkley is an elite athlete himself, and he should also benefit from the Eagles' top-tier offensive line being healthy in 2026. All signs point to him bouncing back as a potential top-12 fantasy running back. As a result, dynasty managers currently in their championship window should consider sending out an offer for the Eagles' superstar ball-carrier.
