Devin Neal News
Friday, March 13, 5:13 AM
Saints running back Devin Neal was a popular late-season waiver pickup in 2025 when injuries pushed him into a starting role from Weeks 13 through 15, but with New Orleans' signing of Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year deal, he has to be viewed as one of fantasy's biggest fallers in the opening week of free agency. Neal handled 15 opportunities per game during his brief starting stint, scoring twice in those three games before a hamstring injury landed him on injured reserve to end the year. Now he profiles as a clear backup to Etienne, and with most of the obvious running back-needy teams already bolstering the position through free agency, there is no guarantee the Saints find a trade partner for veteran Alvin Kamara, potentially pushing Neal further down the depth chart.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Friday, March 27, 11:58 AM
A fourth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL draft, running back Bhayshul Tuten racked up 386 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 93 touches across 15 games as a rookie. The 23-year-old flashed high upside at different points throughout the year, but his path to consistent production was blocked off by the presence of former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. Etienne Jr. departed Jacksonville for the New Orleans Saints in free agency, seemingly opening the door for Tuten to emerge as the team's clear RB1. However, the Jaguars signed former Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in free agency, and a recent report suggests that the team plans to hold an open competition for the lead-back role in training camp. Still, Tuten is in a much better position for a breakout season than he was entering 2025. If he can outperform Rodriguez Jr. in the preseason, Tuten has the talent to emerge as a top-24 fantasy running back in 2026 and beyond. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the 21st-best running back for dynasty formats.
