Jordan James News
Wednesday, July 29, 10:36 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James (rib) suffered a fractured rib in Monday's training camp practice and is set to miss some time, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Injuries are striking the 49ers hard early in training camp, and James is the latest victim. The 22-year-old came into camp as the favorite for backup duties behind the oft-injured Christian McCaffrey, and while he should still be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, his injury could open the door for third-round rookie Kaelon Black to slide into a more prominent change-of-pace role early on behind CMC. The former fifth-rounder last year from the University of Oregon appeared in three regular-season games as a rookie, but he didn't factor in at all on offense. James' early training camp injury makes him a less appealing handcuff option in deeper fantasy leagues to begin the 2026 campaign, but the jury is still out on who will win the RB2 job going into Week 1.

Adam Randall News
Wednesday, July 22, 10:00 AM
After starting his career at Clemson as a wide receiver, Baltimore Ravens rookie Adam Randall transitioned to running back in his final collegiate season. Randall was highly productive across 13 games for the Tigers in 2025, recording 1,068 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 204 touches. The 22-year-old may not have a path to fantasy-relevant playing time in 2026, as he enters the year behind Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rasheen Ali on the Ravens' running back depth chart. However, Henry is 32 years old, Hill will be a free agent after 2026, and Ali has yet to establish himself as a significant piece of the Baltimore offense. At worst, Randall appears to have a clear path to replacing Hill as the third-down complement to Henry in Baltimore in 2027. Particularly for dynasty managers in the midst of a rebuild, Randall profiles as a player to target for his long-term upside.
