Devin Neal News
Tuesday, June 23, 8:41 AM
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal recorded 310 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 74 touches across 10 games (three starts) as a rookie. Neal spent some time as the Saints' back down the stretch of the season, thanks to injuries to the running backs who opened the season ahead of him on the depth chart. However, Neal's role in New Orleans is back in question entering 2026 following the team's offseason signing of running back Travis Etienne Jr. Saints veteran back Alvin Kamara also currently remains with the team, which likely leaves Neal battling for the team's RB3 role with Kendre Miller (knee). Given the crowded running back room in New Orleans and his limited upside as a former sixth-rounder, dynasty managers may want to consider moving on from Neal ahead of 2026.

Jaydon Blue News
Thursday, June 25, 10:56 AM
Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue was a non-factor in his first year in the NFL in 2025 after the Cowboys took him in the fifth round out of the University of Texas, only carrying the ball 38 times for 129 yards and one touchdown while catching one pass for a gain of five yards in five games. Malik Davis became the primary backup to workhorse Javonte Williams, and he finished as the team's second-leading rusher (250 yards). Blue was never the lead RB in college with the Longhorns, but he was a key member of their backfield. It was a disappointing first year in the NFL for the 22-year-old, but head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the difference in Blue during the offseason program has been "night and day." Williams is the Cowboys' unquestioned lead back after inking a new three-year, $24 million deal after posting a career-high 1,201 rushing yards in 2025. Blue will have a chance to compete with Davis and Phil Mafah for an increased role in his sophomore season in 2026. There's some sleeper potential here for the second-year RB, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 75 fantasy RB.
