Connor Heyward News
Thursday, March 12, 3:26 PM
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed fullback Connor Heyward to a two-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The contract includes $2 million fully guaranteed. Heyward hit free agency earlier this week upon the expiration of his four-year rookie deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's scored a touchdown in three of his four pro seasons, and he posted a respectable 449 scrimmage yards during his time in the black and gold. Of course, handling the football is just a minor component of his role as a fullback. He's far more involved as a blocker, creating opportunities for the quarterback or running backs. He'll now take his talents to Las Vegas, where he'll be tasked with blocking for a young offense that features Ashton Jeanty and will also likely include projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Sunday, May 31, 8:14 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr.'s immediate strength as a pass blocker led to a higher snap count in 2025 than fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten. While that opportunity translated to only 10 receptions on 11 targets, there is a reasonable expectation that Allen's involvement in the passing game could take the next step forward with the team's top receiving back from 2025, Travis Etienne Jr., departing in free agency. While Tuten has risen to RB23 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, Allen remains an afterthought down at RB90. The Jaguars did sign 12th-year veteran Ameer Abdullah to an under-the-radar one-year deal, but with his 16 receptions in 2025 representing the highest total from any running back currently on the roster, Jacksonville's pass-catching role is very much up for grabs. While any true fantasy relevance would be a major projection for the 2025 seventh-rounder, Allen's low cost to acquire makes him an intriguing trade target or dart-throw selection in the later rounds of dynasty startups.
