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.

TreVeyon Henderson News
Friday, May 1, 8:05 AM
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson should benefit from the team's anticipated run-heavy approach in 2026. As it stands, the Patriots' receiving corps has taken a step backward this offseason, with Stefon Diggs essentially being replaced by Romeo Doubs. Without a flashy new weapon for Drake Maye to throw to, all signs point to the Patriots running the ball a lot in 2026. That falls in line with what we saw last year, when Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson combined for 310 carries. Both Henderson and Stevenson were top-25 backs in fantasy football, and we could see a similar result in 2026. Even though Henderson has second-round draft capital, the Patriots appear committed to getting Stevenson heavily involved. That's what a run-heavy approach bodes well for Henderson -- there will be more carries to go around, and Henderson will have an opportunity to put up RB2 numbers in fantasy football even if Stevenson is getting double-digit touches per game.
