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.

Kyle Monangai News
Sunday, April 26, 12:51 PM
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai finished his rookie season as the fantasy RB30, and his situation appears stable heading into Year 2. The 2025 seventh-round pick got off to a predictably slow start and spent most of the season in a change-of-pace role behind D'Andre Swift, but he flashed moments of fantasy dominance that could show up with more regularity in his second season. From Weeks 7 through 13, which included a Week 9 contest missed by Swift and in which Monangai ran for 176 yards, the rookie was the RB11, scoring five touchdowns over that stretch. The Bears made no changes to the position through either free agency or the draft, suggesting a comfort level with how things went last season. Monangai's ceiling will be limited as long as Swift is in the lineup, but he has already provided glimpses of what he can do with a full workload, and he saw more usage in the passing game down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs. If that trend continues, RotoBaller's dynasty RB28 could add standalone value beyond what he offers as an insurance back.
