Isiah Pacheco News
Friday, May 8, 12:59 PM
Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco enters 2026 looking to revitalize his career after consecutive disastrous seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024 and 2025. A fractured fibula limited Pacheco to seven games in 2024, and he recorded just 563 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns across 13 games in 2025. The Lions signed Pacheco to a modest one-year, $1.8 million contract in free agency, and he figures to serve as the RB2 behind Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit. While Gibbs' presence obviously limits Pacheco's fantasy upside, former Lions back David Montgomery collected 716 rushing yards and eight touchdowns while playing behind Gibbs in 2025. Should Pacheco see similar usage to Montgomery, he could be a matchup-dependent flex option while carrying latent handcuff upside. His dynasty stock has obviously taken a hit over the past couple of seasons, but Pacheco may still be a decent buy-low target for dynasty managers.

Ollie Gordon II News
Sunday, April 26, 9:08 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II's roster spot isn't guaranteed ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Gordon entered this week's draft as the team's No. 3 running back behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. While the Dolphins didn't draft a running back, they did still bring in competition for Gordon by signing Texas A&M running back Le'Veon Moss as an undrafted free agent. Moss' best season at school came in 2024, when he rushed for 765 rushing yards, 141 receiving yards, and 10 rushing touchdowns. As the returner on this roster, Gordon has an early advantage over Moss for the third running back spot, but the true test will come during training camp and the preseason. Because the Dolphins have a new-look coaching staff and front office, Gordon may have to prove himself as much as Moss or any other player on the roster. The Oklahoma State product had a modest 231 scrimmage yards, but he added four touchdowns along the way. As it stands, Gordon is the RB69 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
