J.K. Dobbins News
Monday, May 4, 5:49 AM
When Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins re-signed with the team on a two-year deal in the second wave of free agency, it was viewed at worst as a small win for his dynasty value. Sharing the backfield with rookie RJ Harvey in 2025, Dobbins was the vastly more efficient back, out-gaining Harvey by 1.3 yards per carry and by almost a full yard before contact per attempt. Before a foot injury ended his season in Week 10, Dobbins was the RB16 in Half-PPR formats, and the expectation was that a similar performance could be repeatable in his second season with the team. However, with the Broncos spending fourth-round capital to select Jonah Coleman in the 2026 NFL Draft, Dobbins' upside is meaningfully affected. Coleman is a well-rounded runner who could make immediate contributions through the passing game and in short-yardage situations, and with plenty of overlapping skill sets, Denver's three backs are likely to cannibalize one another and create a frustrating situation for fantasy. While he's almost always been useful when healthy, a serious injury history and a suddenly crowded backfield mean the 27-year-old Dobbins is best kept away from at RotoBaller's dynasty RB39.

Jordan Mason News
Thursday, May 7, 6:02 AM
Following the trade that sent running back Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings ahead of the 2025 season, the fourth-year back was pegged as a popular breakout candidate, rising all the way to RB24 in consensus dynasty rankings. By most metrics, Mason's first year in Minnesota was a disappointment. Even with Aaron Jones Sr. missing significant time, Mason was held to only 758 rushing yards and six touchdowns while the entirety of the Vikings' offense was held back by listless quarterback play. The Vikings have found at least a short-term fix at quarterback, bringing in Kyler Murray on a one-year deal, and while Minnesota was labeled as one of the more running back-needy teams entering the 2026 NFL Draft, the team waited until the sixth round of a weak class to address the position, selecting Demond Claiborne out of Wake Forest. At 5'9" and 195 pounds, Claiborne poses little threat to Mason's between-the-tackles early-down work. With both Mason and Jones in the final year of their contracts, the importance of the 2026 season for Mason's long-term dynasty value can not be overstated. He enters the season as RotoBaller's RB50, but that ranking could climb if Minnesota's offense can shake off a forgettable 2025 campaign.
