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.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. News
Monday, May 4, 7:48 AM
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. may fall back into the No. 2 role on the depth chart this season, but that won't necessarily prevent him from remaining a relevant option in fantasy football. All signs point to Cam Skattebo (ankle) reclaiming the lead-back role by Week 1, but Tracy's strong second half of the 2025 season should be enough to earn him a healthy share of touches behind Skattebo in 2026. That's especially true as we see more NFL teams shift to a shared backfield dynamic with two impactful ball-carries. Tracy was the overall RB12 in half-PPR leagues from Week 11-18 last year, so even if he handles ~40% of the snaps and volume in New York, he should still offer value as a weekly RB3/flex option. Plus, with Skattebo coming off an injury, rostering his handcuff is certainly not a bad idea. This Giants offense is trending up with Jaxson Dart leading the way, and Tracy stands to benefit as a result.
