Jonathan Taylor News
Sunday, March 22, 7:47 PM
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor "still headlines" the team's running backs room, according to The Athletic's James Boyd, and there "hasn't been much chatter" about Taylor's workload as he heads into the final year of his contract in 2026. The 27-year-old was the RB2 in half-PPR fantasy points in 2025, behind only Christian McCaffrey, and he's coming off the fourth 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. He was also named to his third Pro Bowl in his sixth season in the league. The former second-rounder (41st overall) in 2020 out of Wisconsin played in every game in 2025 for the first time since his second year in the NFL, and he tied his career-high with 18 rushing touchdowns. Taylor was a beast for fantasy managers and appears on track to receive similar volume in 2026 as a high-end RB1 target in fantasy drafts. His 323 carries led the league, and it was the second-most rushing attempts he's had in his six-year career.

Chase Brown News
Friday, March 20, 9:11 AM
After a slow start to the 2025 season, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown heated up in the second half and posted another year of quality production. Across 17 games, the 25-year-old recorded 1,456 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns on 301 touches. Like the rest of the Bengals' offense, some of Brown's success is tied to the health of Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow. After Burrow's Week 13 return from the toe injury that cost him nine games, Brown hauled in 25 receptions on 26 targets, including three touchdown grabs. Heading into 2026, Brown appears poised to dominate backfield touches in Cincinnati again, and Burrow should be entering the year fully healthy. Brown's combination of age, role in an elite offense, and ability to rack up fantasy points as both a rusher and receiver makes him a high-end running back option in dynasty formats.
