Jaylen Warren News
Thursday, May 28, 12:08 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is down to 205 lbs. for OTAs and is "looking slimmer" per Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Warren was listed at 215 lbs. for the 2025 season. The 27-year-old set career-highs across the board last season for the Steelers, finishing the year with 1,291 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns on 251 touches across 16 games (15 starts). Entering 2026, Warren projects to split backfield reps with new Steelers running back Rico Dowdle, who was signed to a two-year contract in March. Dowdle profiles as more of a downhill, short-yardage back, so Warren's weight loss could be a sign that the team wants him to focus on shiftiness for an open-field, pass-catching role. Both Pittsburgh running backs profile as mid-tier RB3/flex options entering 2026.

De'Von Achane News
Wednesday, June 3, 10:53 AM
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been limited to individual drills during mandatory minicamp this week, according to Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Achane is being eased back into offseason workouts after he had a clean-up procedure on a shoulder injury that caused him to miss the regular-season finale last year. All signs point to the star RB being fully ready for training camp and the start of the 2026 regular season, though, so fantasy managers should have nothing to worry about. The Dolphins put their money where their mouth is this offseason, signing the 24-year-old former third-rounder to a four-year, $68 million extension last month. Achane had his first 1,000-yard rushing season with eight rushing touchdowns in 16 starts in 2025 in his third year in the NFL despite the Dolphins' offense struggling all year. More offensive struggles could be coming as Miami rebuilds, but Achane should have a high floor thanks to heavy volume in the Dolphins' backfield in 2026. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 7 fantasy RB in redraft formats.
