James Conner News
Friday, March 13, 5:37 AM
Two-time Pro-Bowl running back James Conner and the Arizona Cardinals agreed to a restructured contract that would keep him in the desert for the 2026 season. One day later, the team agreed to a two-year deal with Tyler Allgeier, adding depth to a running back room that already featured 2024 third-round pick Trey Benson. None of the three backs has a guaranteed salary above $2.1 million in 2026, and with a new coaching staff, this committee situation profiles as one of the murkiest in the league. Allgeier has the most experience in the type of wide-zone scheme expected to be implemented by offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, while Benson offers the most explosiveness, and Conner still boasts the best hands and receiving ability. With the Cardinals coming off a 3-14 season and expected to return Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback, this backfield may not find itself in a position to deliver much overall value, regardless of the division of labor.

RJ Harvey News
Tuesday, March 10, 5:50 AM
Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey finished his 2025 rookie campaign as the lead back in the Mile High City, following a Week 10 foot injury that ended J.K. Dobbins' first season with the team. Expected to pursue the position aggressively when the legal tampering window opened on Monday, the Broncos agreed to a new two-year deal with Dobbins, worth up to $20 million with $8 million guaranteed. After handing out one of the larger running back deals of the day, it would appear that Harvey will find himself in a similar position to the one in which he opened his rookie season as the clear 1B in a timeshare with Dobbins. Harvey was able to salvage his fantasy season, with a traditionally unsustainable 12 touchdowns, but he lacked notable explosiveness, and his 128-touch pace through the year's first ten weeks was well below what fantasy managers had hoped for following his lofty second-round NFL Draft capital and rumblings of his usage in Sean Payton's Joker role.
