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.

Devin Neal News
Tuesday, March 31, 6:13 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (hamstring) entered this offseason as one of the most appealing risers in dynasty fantasy football leagues. However, the Saints' unexpected decision to sign Travis Etienne Jr. shook up their backfield, and now, it looks like Neal could be ticketed for the third-string role. In addition to the Etienne signing, it was recently reported that the Saints don't plan to trade Alvin Kamara. He previously expressed his desire to remain in New Orleans for the rest of his career, even threatening retirement if he were traded. Therefore, it looks like both Etienne and Kamara will be ahead of Neal, who had 163 rushing yards, 10 catches, 83 receiving yards, and two touchdowns from Week 12-15 as a rookie last season. There's clearly talent and production there, but his lack of a track record in the NFL will leave him third in the pecking order behind the two veterans. Backfield injuries could open the door for Neal to be a decent handcuff, but otherwise, he has a very difficult path to fantasy relevance.
