James Conner News
Friday, May 1, 12:10 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) had his 2025 season cut short after suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 3. Conner was present for the start of Arizona's voluntary offseason program in early April, which could be a good sign that he's on track to be ready for the start of the 2026 season. However, Conner now projects as the RB3 in Arizona at best after the Cardinals signed former Atlanta Falcons back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and used the third overall pick in the 2026 draft on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Conner was a productive player as recently as 2024, when he recorded over 1,500 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 283 touches across 16 games. Still, with Conner entering his age-31 season and coming off foot surgery, Arizona clearly prioritized upgrading at the position with its offseason moves. Barring a change of scenery before the start of the season, Conner's dynasty value is plummeting.

Josh Jacobs News
Wednesday, May 27, 12:32 PM
A statement released by the lawyers of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs confirms that Jacobs has been released from custody and that "no criminal charges have been filed against him." Jacobs was arrested and booked into the Brown County Jail on Tuesday night on counts of battery, criminal damage of property, disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. While Jacobs has been released from jail, this appears to be an ongoing situation that fantasy managers will need to monitor closely in the coming weeks and months. The 28-year-old has been the Packers' workhorse back over the last two seasons, collecting nearly 2,900 yards from scrimmage and 30 touchdowns across 32 games. If Jacobs were to face some sort of discipline from the NFL and miss time, Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd profile as the current favorites to lead the Green Bay backfield.
