Christian McCaffrey News
Monday, March 16, 4:20 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is a typical sell-high candidate in dynasty fantasy football leagues this offseason. Dynasty strategy strongly encourages managers to sell high on injury-prone skill players in their thirties coming off a top finish. However, moving McCaffrey at this point is far easier said than done, mostly because he's not comparable to any other running back in the NFL. Sure, he'll be 30 by the time the 2026 regular season gets underway, and yes, he missed 13 games in 2024. However, he was healthy for all 17 in 2025, he eclipsed 2,100 yards, and he finished as the clear-cut RB1 in fantasy scoring. Managers are encouraged to explore trade offers for McCaffrey, but they shouldn't sell high just for the sake of getting some compensation before it's too late in his career. Trading McCaffrey should still fetch a very significant, full-price package in dynasty leagues, because the 49ers' running back has overall RB1 upside again in 2026, and he should remain a top-10 option for at least a couple more years. Plus, the 49ers have shown no willingness to reduce his workload. They barely used backup Brian Robinson Jr. last season, and they have not yet brought in a replacement for Robinson in free agency.

Tarik Cohen News
Thursday, August 1, 1:10 PM
New York Jets running back and kick returner Tarik Cohen has announced his retirement. Despite having a promising training camp and expressing optimism about his return, Cohen has decided to step away from the game. Known for his standout performance as an All-Pro returner with the Bears in 2018, Cohen's career was significantly impacted by injuries. His last NFL game was in 2020 after he suffered a severe leg injury and torn knee ligaments. Cohen also endured an Achilles' tear in the spring of 2022. Though he hoped the new kickoff rules would help him secure a spot on the 53-man roster, something changed his decision. Drafted by the Bears in the fourth round in 2017 from North Carolina A&T, Cohen finished his career with 2,676 scrimmage yards, 14 touchdowns, 985 punt return yards (including one touchdown), and 628 kickoff return yards. He spent most of his NFL career with the Bears, with a brief stint on the Carolina Panthers practice squad last season.
