Jahmyr Gibbs News
Thursday, June 4, 10:24 AM
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that the expectation is that running back Jahmyr Gibbs will be the team's "bellcow" in 2026, according to Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. "We're gonna hang our hat on him," Campbell said. It's not unexpected, especially after the team traded David Montgomery to the Houston Texans early in the offseason. The 24-year-old Gibbs, who was the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of the University of Alabama, has been one of the best all-around RBs since he set foot in the NFL, being named a Pro Bowler in each of his first three seasons. The Georgia native has a whopping 3,580 rushing yards and 39 rushing touchdowns, to go along with 181 catches (228 targets) for 1,449 receiving yards and 10 receiving TDs in 49 regular-season games for Detroit. Gibbs hasn't dipped under 5.0 yards per carry in any of his three seasons, and is an elite three-down fantasy RB. With even more usage coming in 2026, fantasy managers sitting in the No. 2 draft spot this year will be ecstatic if he doesn't come off the board at No. 1 overall.

De'Von Achane News
Wednesday, June 3, 10:53 AM
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been limited to individual drills during mandatory minicamp this week, according to Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Achane is being eased back into offseason workouts after he had a clean-up procedure on a shoulder injury that caused him to miss the regular-season finale last year. All signs point to the star RB being fully ready for training camp and the start of the 2026 regular season, though, so fantasy managers should have nothing to worry about. The Dolphins put their money where their mouth is this offseason, signing the 24-year-old former third-rounder to a four-year, $68 million extension last month. Achane had his first 1,000-yard rushing season with eight rushing touchdowns in 16 starts in 2025 in his third year in the NFL despite the Dolphins' offense struggling all year. More offensive struggles could be coming as Miami rebuilds, but Achane should have a high floor thanks to heavy volume in the Dolphins' backfield in 2026. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 7 fantasy RB in redraft formats.
