Isiah Pacheco News
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.

Tank Bigsby News
Sunday, May 3, 11:50 AM
After opening 2025 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, running back Tank Bigsby was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles after Week 1. The 24-year-old saw limited playing time in Philadelphia while playing a backup role to star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Across 16 games with Philly, Bigsby recorded 58 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns. As long as Barkley stays healthy, Bigsby's path to fantasy-relevant production is blocked. However, Barkley is entering his age-29 season and has recorded consecutive 350-plus touch campaigns, including playoff action. Bigsby has been a highly efficient rusher when given the opportunity to this point in his NFL career, averaging 4.9 yards per carry over the past two seasons. Should Barkley go down at any point in 2026, Bigsby could immediately vault into the top-24 conversation at the running back position. In dynasty formats, Bigsby remains a high-end handcuff option heading into 2026.
