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.

Kaelon Black News
Monday, August 3, 10:44 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black (adductor) did not practice Monday because of an adductor injury, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The team has not announced when the injury occurred or provided a timetable for his return. Black had been receiving added work behind Christian McCaffrey with Isaac Guerendo and Jordan James sidelined, including six touches during one early team-heavy practice. San Francisco selected the rookie 90th overall after he rushed for 1,039 yards and 10 touchdowns during his final season at Indiana. His absence adds to a thin backfield that recently brought in veteran Khalil Herbert for depth. Black had made a good early impression, but the injury interrupts an important stretch for a third-round pick trying to earn a place in the regular-season rotation. He remains a deeper dynasty name to monitor, though his fantasy outlook will stay uncertain until the 49ers provide a recovery timeline and he returns to practice.
