Jaylen Warren News
Tuesday, July 14, 5:40 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren continues to produce despite his ADP over the last few seasons. Warren has exceeded expectations and doesn't seem to be getting the credit he deserves. This past season, Warren rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and scored six touchdowns on 211 carries. He also hauled in 40 receptions for 333 yards and an additional two scores through the air. That performance landed him the RB16 spot in half-PPR leagues. Given his success, Warren will likely continue to see a similar usage next season. The Steelers did bring in Rico Dowdle to help take the load off Warren on the ground. The 27-year-old should still be a popular target for Aaron Rodgers, so the addition of Dowdle shouldn't threaten Warren's overall value too much. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable sliding in Warren as their RB2.

Puka Nacua News
Tuesday, June 23, 8:08 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has run into some off-field troubles in recent months, checking into a rehab facility in April while simultaneously fighting a civil lawsuit in which a woman alleged gender violence, assault, and battery. However, Nacua is not expected to face discipline from the NFL that would result in missed games in 2026. As long as he's on the field, there's zero question about the 25-year-old's ability to produce at a high level. Across 16 games in 2025, Nacua recorded 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns on 166 targets. 44 games into his NFL career, Nacua is the league's all-time leader in receiving yards per game (95.3). While his off-field questions add some risk to his long-term dynasty outlook, Nacua has number one overall wide receiver upside. He should be viewed as an elite dynasty asset entering 2026.
