Jonathan Taylor News
Friday, June 12, 8:10 AM
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor put together a dominant year in 2025, recording 1,963 yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns on 369 touches. The 27-year-old averaged 4.9 yards per carry while also setting career-highs in targets (55), receptions (46), and receiving yards (378). Entering 2026, Taylor once again projects as the focal point of a Colts offense that will get quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) back from the Achilles injury that ended his 2025 season prematurely. However, fantasy managers may have a reason to be concerned about Taylor's ability to hold up after shouldering such a large workload last season. After recording 372 touches in 2021, Taylor proceeded to miss 16 games over a three-season span between 2022 and 2024. He also has a history of recurring ankle injuries, which could easily pop back up in 2026. While Taylor is still a high-level fantasy running back, dynasty managers may want to explore selling high on him for a monstrous package ahead of 2026.

RJ Harvey News
Wednesday, May 6, 7:47 AM
Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey remains the projected No. 1 option atop the depth chart, but it would be surprising to see him carve out an every-down role after the team re-signed J.K. Dobbins and drafted Jonah Coleman. It took a while for Harvey to occupy a significant role as a rookie last season, and he only started averaging 16+ touches per game once Dobbins went down with an injury. Now that Dobbins is healthy and back on the roster, he should chip into Harvey's workload. Meanwhile, we expect Coleman to steal some touches, too. It might not happen right away since he's a rookie with Day 3 draft capital, but there have been plenty of analysts who view Coleman as an eventual three-down back and potential late-round steal. The problem with adding Coleman to the mix is that it doesn't just impact Harvey's redraft value, but it hurts him in dynasty leagues, too. He has fallen to RB25 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings, and it's difficult to envision him climbing much higher than that as the Broncos appear committed to a shared backfield.
