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.

Tony Pollard News
Tuesday, June 2, 12:21 PM
Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 275 touches. The 29-year-old has quietly been one of the more consistent rushers in the NFL in recent years, logging four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played and 1,000 rushing yards. However, the questionable offensive environment around Pollard in Tennessee has limited his upside, particularly in terms of scoring touchdowns. Across 33 career games with the Titans, Pollard has found pay dirt just 10 times. Entering 2026, Pollard once again projects to lead a backfield split with fellow Titans back Tyjae Spears. Spears has handled the majority of the team's receiving work when both backs are healthy, which is another constraint on Pollard's production ceiling. Still, Pollard has a projectable production floor, and the Titans' offense could be on its way up in quarterback Cameron Ward's second NFL season. In dynasty formats, Pollard has value as a high-floor, win-now flex option.
