Jaleel McLaughlin News
Friday, March 13, 11:15 AM
The Denver Broncos agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday to re-sign running back Jaleel McLaughlin, a source told Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. In addition to McLaughlin, the Broncos already brought back J.K. Dobbins (foot), so they'll have a very similar backfield going into the 2026 campaign, depending on what they do in April's NFL draft. The 25-year-old had a career-low 37 carries last year for 187 yards and one touchdown in eight regular-season games, even with Dobbins suffering a season-ending foot injury halfway through the year. The Broncos also have last year's second-rounder, RJ Harvey, who could have an even bigger role next to Dobbins next season. Unless injuries strike one of Dobbins or Harvey in 2026, McLaughlin probably isn't going to see the field all that often and could be a healthy scratch on game days more often than not. His dynasty/keeper stock is quickly plummeting.

Braelon Allen News
Sunday, March 29, 8:31 AM
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) suffered through a lost season due to injury in 2025 after he went down with a season-ending MCL sprain in Week 4. Leading into 2025, Allen was one of the buzzier running back names in fantasy circles due to reports that the Jets were planning for a more even workload split between him and fellow back Breece Hall. That obviously never came to fruition, and Hall wound up logging over 1,400 yards from scrimmage across 16 games. However, the Jets placed the franchise tag on Hall earlier this offseason, and the two sides have yet to come to a long-term extension agreement. If he can get back to full health, Allen could still feature heavily in New York's future plans at the running back position. For dynasty managers, now might be the best time to buy low on Allen.
