J.K. Dobbins News
Wednesday, April 8, 3:41 PM
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that re-signing running back J.K. Dobbins "was a priority ahead of all others," according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. It was very intriguing to hear Payton go out of his way and identify Dobbins specifically. This could be a sign that he'll continue to have a large workload in 2026, even with RJ Harvey trending up ahead of his second season in the NFL. In his first season with Denver last year, Dobbins played in 10 games, tallying 772 rushing yards and four touchdowns. He ranked as the overall RB18 in half-PPR leagues before being shut down ahead of Week 11 due to a foot injury. The Broncos recently confirmed that Dobbins has fully recovered from the ailment and could have even played in the Super Bowl if Denver had qualified. Fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility of Dobbins and Harvey splitting touches next season. A shared backfield is never ideal for fantasy football, but we could still see both backs maintain fantasy relevance, given the productivity and anticipated success of Denver's offense.

Rhamondre Stevenson News
Sunday, April 19, 7:52 AM
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's perception in dynasty fantasy football leagues has declined, creating an opportunity for managers to buy low on a weekly RB3/flex option. Stevenson saw his role change during the second half of the 2025 season as rookie TreVeyon Henderson broke out. Still, the Patriots went run-heavy for most of the year, so Stevenson maintained a fantasy-relevant role alongside the rookie. In fact, over his final five games of the season, he averaged 63.8 rushing yards, 34.2 receiving yards, 1.2 touchdowns, and 20.0 fantasy points in full-PPR leagues per game. We expect Henderson to be the primary ball-carrier in 2026, but Stevenson should remain a heavily involved part of the offense, enough to justify deploying him as an RB3/flex every week. That's where there's value for fantasy managers; Stevenson has top-36 appeal every week, but he has fallen to RB46 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. At 28 years old, Stevenson still has plenty of good football ahead of him. He's an appealing dynasty trade target this offseason.
