Devin Neal News
Saturday, August 8, 7:55 PM
LouisianaSports.net's Ross Jackson reported that New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (hamstring) was not seen at practice today. Neal is still recovering from a hamstring injury that he sustained during practice on Thursday. The 23-year-old is hoping to return to the field in time to play in the Saints' preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Neal will need to have a strong preseason to earn an offensive role in the Saints' backfield. The team signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $52 million contract in free agency, and recently signed Alvin Kamara to a restructured one-year contract to keep him with the team. Neal will have to see an injury to one of the backs ahead of him on the depth chart to be fantasy relevant in 2026.

Kaytron Allen News
Sunday, August 9, 6:25 AM
With the Washington Commanders into their second week of training camp and practices reaching a heightened level of physicality, rookie running back Kaytron Allen has received regular call-outs from the local beat. Recently described as a bowling ball, the 219-pound Allen has shown an early ability to fight for extra yards, and while Commanders senior writer Zach Selby believes he could end up as the team's short-yardage option, on Saturday it was his underrated burst that stood out as he found a crease during team drills and housed a long touchdown run. While uncommon for sixth-round rookies to make an immediate impact, Allen has routinely found ways to flash, and if he can claim the bulk of the team's goal-line work, he could prove to have surprising fantasy value in year one.
