De'Von Achane News
Wednesday, July 29, 10:27 AM
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane said his goal in 2026 is to win the rushing-yards title after finishing fifth last year, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Achane said the biggest difference in new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik's scheme is that the team plans to run the ball more. "I definitely like that," Achane said. The 24-year-old is a full-go for the start of training camp after being limited in the offseason program with a minor shoulder injury. Miami rewarded Achane with a four-year, $64 million contract extension in the offseason, and he's fully expected to be the focal point of Slowik's offense after he ran for a career-high 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns on 238 carries, adding 67 receptions for 488 yards and four more TDs as a receiver in 16 starts in his third year in the NFL. Achane's volume as Miami's only real explosive offensive threat will keep him in the RB1 conversation, but it's going to be difficult for him to win the rushing title, let alone match his RB6 finish in half-PPR scoring in 2025 in an offense that could struggle to move the ball consistently. RotoBaller has Achane ranked as the No. 12 fantasy RB for 2026.

Isaac Guerendo News
Sunday, July 26, 10:18 AM
The San Francisco 49ers placed running back Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp on Saturday, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Guerendo is not ready to practice with the team after suffering a torn pectoral muscle while lifting weights in the offseason. The 26-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2024 from the University of Louisville had 84 carries for 420 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four rushing touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) as a rookie, but he didn't have a single rushing attempt or a target in the 14 games he appeared in during last regular season, quickly falling out of favor in San Fran's backfield. Entering his third year in the NFL, Guerendo is looking like the team's RB4, at best, behind Christian McCaffrey, Jordan James, and rookie Kaelon Black. Guerendo's elite speed sets him apart, but already falling behind in camp is another bad sign for his already plummeting fantasy value. It's hard to recommend holding him in dynasty/keeper leagues at this point.
