Jonathan Taylor News
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.

Omarion Hampton News
Saturday, March 14, 12:49 PM
Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton continues to trend upward ahead of the 2026 season. Hampton is coming off an impressive rookie campaign and should now benefit from playing in a system led by offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Under McDaniel's leadership last year, the Dolphins had the fourth-most rushing yards per carry, so we would expect Los Angeles to adopt a run-heavy system with similar success in 2026. Hampton had 380 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns through his first four games, but a midseason injury interrupted his progress and led to subpar results at the end of the year. Now that he's heading into his second season and is healthy, Hampton should take that next step forward and produce as a potential top-12 fantasy running back. He'll also benefit from having more protection in front of him, as the Chargers' league-worst offensive line added projected starters Tyler Biadasz and Cole Strange this offseason.
