Isiah Pacheco News

Will a Change of Scenery Re-Ignite Isiah Pacheco's Dynasty Value?

Friday, May 29, 7:29 AM

Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco finds himself in a new place for the 2026 season, and it could be exactly what he needs to get back on track as a fantasy-relevant running back in dynasty leagues. Pacheco spent his first four seasons with the Chiefs, finishing higher than RB37 just once. He was the RB15 in 2023, but injuries cost him 14 games over the last two years, and he wasn't particularly effective when healthy, either. The Chiefs used him as more of a primary running back, getting him involved on rushing and passing downs, while the Lions may use him as more of a short-yardage option to move the chains or get into the end zone. That could mean fewer touches and yards per carry, but more touchdowns and more of a clear-cut role. The new landing spot could vault Pacheco back into the top 36 fantasy running backs, making him a low-end RB3/flex on a weekly basis. As it stands, he is the RB55 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Ollie Gordon II News

Is Ollie Gordon II Still Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?

Wednesday, June 3, 12:28 PM

A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II recorded 231 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 77 touches across 17 games as a rookie. After starting the year as the RB2 in Miami behind De'Von Achane, Gordon II gradually lost playing time to Dolphins back Jaylen Wright over the course of the season. While the Dolphins did not make any notable additions to their backfield over the offseason, Gordon II appears likely to enter 2026 third on the team's running back depth chart. Additionally, Miami signed Achane to a four-year, $68 million extension in May, locking him in as a focal point of its offense for the remainder of the decade. Gordon II could still carry some appeal as a handcuff option, but his dynasty stock is falling thanks to the crowded backfield picture in Miami.
