Is Jonathan Taylor Being Undervalued in Dynasty?

Saturday, March 14, 9:51 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finished 2025 as the RB2 despite a late-season injury to quarterback Daniel Jones that allowed defenses to stack the box against him for the final month of the season. He is currently valued around RB7 and coming off the board near the 3/4 turn in dynasty startups. Still only 27 years old and on pace for nearly 2,200 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns prior to the Jones injury, Taylor is in play for the overall RB1 in 2026, making him an obvious buy for contenders or drafters starting with a win-now approach. Recent reports have indicated that Jones could be ready for the start of the season, and aside from the loss of Michael Pittman Jr., who was shipped to Pittsburgh for a late-round pick swap, the Colts offense will look quite similar to the unit that began 2025 on a historic tear en route to a 7-1 start.

Chase Brown News

Is Chase Brown Emerging as a High-end Dynasty Asset?

Tuesday, February 24, 10:56 AM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown still has one year left on his rookie contract and is hopeful to sign an extension that his representation has been working on since at least late January. Brown stands unchallenged atop the Bengals' running back depth chart, playing in all 17 games in the 2025 season with an average rush share of 70%. While his rushing touches are important, Brown sets himself apart from his peers and is a valuable dynasty asset because of his involvement in Cincinnati's passing game. With quarterback Joe Burrow at the helm from Weeks 13-17, Brown hauled in 25 of his 26 targets and scored three touchdowns through the air. Brown is a young, proven back and, despite some low-scoring weeks early in the 2025 season, earned fantasy managers over 15 PPR points in every game from Weeks 8 through 18. His consistency and potential for RB1 weeks make him a valuable dynasty piece to target in trades or during start-up drafts.
