Chuba Hubbard News
Sunday, June 14, 5:37 AM
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is no stranger to ambiguous backfields, but what he faces heading into the 2026 season may be the most unsettled room of his six-year career. Conflicting reports seem to emerge almost weekly about how Hubbard and unproven third-year back Jonathon Brooks will split work. Brooks was a second-round pick and the first running back off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft, while Hubbard was given a four-year, $33 million extension that same year after Brooks tore his right ACL for the second time in just over a year. With Brooks sitting out the entire 2025 season, Hubbard was slowed by his own nagging ailments and eventually overtaken in the starting role by Rico Dowdle, who has since signed a two-year deal with the Steelers. While Brooks has arguably the brighter future in Carolina, uncertainty about how things might look in 2026 has driven down the cost of both players, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB33, the 27-year-old Hubbard is an affordable trade target who could offer depth and a number of usable starts for contending managers.

J.K. Dobbins News
Monday, June 15, 6:10 PM
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins had a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars nearly done in free agency earlier this year before he re-signed with the Broncos on a two-year, $8 million fully guaranteed deal, a source told Luca Evans of The Denver Post. Before suffering a season-ending Lisfranc foot injury, Dobbins ranked fifth in the NFL in rushing yards (772) through 10 games in 2025 in his first year in Denver. When healthy, the 27-year-old has been one of the best RBs in per-touch effectiveness, but the former second-rounder by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 out of Ohio State has never played a full season in his five years in the NFL. The Broncos averaged 4.8 yards per carry with Dobbins healthy last year, and 3.8 yards per carry without him, so they clearly think he's important to their backfield. Second-year back RJ Harvey (shoulder) isn't an ideal between-the-tackles runner, which is why Denver added Jonah Coleman in the fourth round of this year's draft. Dobbins' upside is obvious, but durability issues give him a scary floor, especially in what could be a three-headed monster of a backfield in Denver in 2026. Right now, RotoBaller has Dobbins ranked as the No. 31 fantasy RB as he looks to battle for touches with Coleman and Harvey in his second year with the Broncos.
