Jerome Ford News
Tuesday, May 26, 1:00 PM
After spending the first four years of his career with the Cleveland Browns, veteran running back Jerome Ford signed a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders for the 2026 season. Ford is coming off a down year in Cleveland, as he collected just 176 yards from scrimmage on 50 touches across 13 games played. The Commanders' backfield is unsettled at the top entering 2026, and could offer Ford a chance to reclaim significant playing time. However, Washington has several capable backs between Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Jeremy McNichols, and 2026 sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen. Given the crowded depth chart around him, Ford could completely fall out of the mix for backfield touches early on in 2026. In dynasty formats, fantasy managers should consider moving on from Ford as he enters his age-27 season.

Trey Benson News
Sunday, May 31, 9:00 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson remains largely unproven since the team spent a third-round pick on him in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with the investments made at the position in the 2026 offseason, that seems unlikely to change as he heads into his third professional season. The Cardinals spent $8 million in guaranteed money to land Tyler Allgeier in free agency before using the third overall pick on top prospect Jeremiyah Love. With James Conner also back in the fold after, like Benson, missing most of the 2025 season, Arizona features one of the most loaded running back rooms in the league. With the depth ahead of him muddying Benson's chances of even finding value as an insurance back, dynasty managers could be tempted to move on from the underperforming Day 2 pick, but at RotoBaller's dynasty RB59, he remains a hold as there's still a chance he could land in a more optimal situation if the Cardinals opt to move him or any of their other backs before the season starts.
