Jerick McKinnon News
Wednesday, January 10, 12:32 PM
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (hernia, pelvis) was on crutches on Tuesday in his first day back at the team's facility following sports-hernia surgery on Jan. 2, which was performed by Dr. Williams Meyers. In addition to a sports hernia, McKinnon fractured his pelvis. It all means that McKinnon is doubtful to return for the postseason, even if the Chiefs make another run to the Super Bowl this year. The 31-year-old is eligible for free agency in March but has expressed interest in returning to Kansas City. McKinnon missed the final three games of the regular season and finished 2023 with just 21 carries for 60 yards and one touchdown while adding 25 receptions for 192 yards and four touchdowns through the air in 12 games played. Clyde Edwards-Helaire will have a bigger role as the No. 2 in KC's backfield behind Isiah Pacheco now that McKinnon is out.

J.K. Dobbins News
Wednesday, June 10, 8:10 AM
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins got off to a strong start to the 2025 season, recording 809 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 164 touches before suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 10. Injuries remain a major issue for Dobbins, as he's missed 53 games since his rookie season in 2020. The 27-year-old may also be entering 2026 with less of a hold on the RB1 role in Denver due to the presence of 2025 second-rounder RJ Harvey and 2026 fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman. Still, Dobbins averaged 5.0 yards per carry before getting injured last season and has always been productive when healthy throughout his NFL career. Particularly for managers with win-now rosters, Dobbins' dynasty value may have fallen to the point where he is worth buying low on ahead of 2026.
