DeeJay Dallas Returns to Practice Squad, Holds No Fantasy Value

Tuesday, November 3, 6:09 AM

Minnesota Vikings 28-year-old running back DeeJay Dallas had one carry in Week 8 and played 32 percent of the team's snaps, but has yet to deliver any meaningful performance in the 2026 season. While he had the chance to back up Aaron Jones Sr. when Jordan Mason was on Injured Reserve, he still didn't earn any meaningful opportunities, and now that Mason has returned, Dallas has been reverted to the practice squad and should be dropped in all formats. Dallas has never had much fantasy relevance in six year career, never tallying more than 23 carries in any season. Fantasy managers looking to stash a handcuff running back should look elsewhere.

Corey Kiner News

Corey Kiner is Worth a Late Waiver Wire Add if Available

Saturday, November 14, 6:17 AM

New England Patriots running back Corey Kiner has an opportunity to play an elevated role in a Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions in Germany. Fellow running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness) has already been ruled out, while Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is questionable for Week 10. There is a chance that Stevenson plays, but if he doesn't, Kiner is expected to lead the backfield. Even if Stevenson is available, Kiner will play a role as the No. 2 running back and earn some touches. Kiner played just 11 offensive snaps in a 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, but was efficient with eight rushes for 55 yards (6.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown. The touchdown was the first of Kiner's career. Through nine appearances in 2026, Kiner has recorded 50 rushes for 244 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and the aforementioned score, while adding two receptions for 16 yards. The Lions allow just 94.1 rushing yards per game, but Kiner will see high volume if Stevenson misses the game. Kiner is currently available in 36% of Yahoo leagues, so he is worth looking into to see if he can be added in your leagues. According to Yahoo, Kiner's start percentage increased 43% from Week 9 to Week 10.
