George Holani News
Saturday, August 1, 11:05 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani is getting passing-down work with the first-team offense while Zach Charbonnet remains on the PUP list. Seattle Times Sports reported that Holani and rookie Jadarian Price have split most of the snaps with the starters, with Holani expected to handle third downs and two-minute situations while Price leans toward the early-down role. That gives Holani a defined lane in Seattle's backfield, though Charbonnet's eventual return could change the rotation. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound back had 22 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown in 11 regular-season games last year, then caught four passes for 34 yards after returning from injured reserve during Seattle's playoff run. That postseason usage offers some evidence that the Seahawks trust him in passing situations. Holani is not yet a clear redraft target, but his first-team work makes him worth monitoring in deeper PPR leagues while Charbonnet remains sidelined.

Jaylen Wright News
Wednesday, August 5, 11:18 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has moved into a clearer spot than he occupied a year ago. The team's current depth chart lists him behind De'Von Achane and ahead of Ollie Gordon II, and Wright gave Miami its best look at what he can do with volume when he ran 24 times for 107 yards and a touchdown against the Jets in Week 14. That is the appeal. The weekly role is still hard to find. Achane totaled 1,838 yards from scrimmage last season and is signed through 2030, while Gordon handled 18 red-zone carries and scored four times as a rookie. Wright also caught only five passes in 10 games, so there is not much of a receiving floor. He remains the more interesting backup because he is 23, averaged 4.1 yards per carry last season, and sits second on the depth chart. His current ADP of 211th overall and RB69 makes the gamble painless. Wright is worth a final pick as Achane insurance, especially for managers who draft Miami's starter. Without an injury ahead of him, though, he is unlikely to offer enough touches to become a weekly redraft option.
