Jordan Mason News
Wednesday, March 4, 1:00 PM
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason could be in line for a bigger backfield role with the Vikings next season, with fellow RB Aaron Jones Sr. set to be either released or traded this offseason. If Jones is off the roster going into the 2026 season, Mason would rise to the top of the RB depth chart, barring offseason additions through free agency or the draft. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech had a career-low 4.8 yards per carry, but he was still very productive as a complementary back to Jones, carrying the ball a career-high 159 times for 758 rushing yards and a career-high six touchdowns in 16 games. Mason also had a career-high 14 catches for 51 yards through the air. We won't have the full picture on Mason's 2026 fantasy football value until after the NFL draft, but right now, his arrow is pointing up.

Kendre Miller News
Friday, February 20, 7:10 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (knee) had his 2025 season cut short after he suffered a torn ACL in Week 7. Before getting injured, the 23-year-old had recorded 223 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 52 touches across seven games played. A third-round pick by New Orleans in 2023, Miller appeared in just 14 games and recorded 454 total yards from scrimmage in his first two years in the NFL. His 2025 injury was an unfortunate setback, as Miller had just begun to carve out a real role in the Saints' backfield alongside veteran New Orleans back Alvin Kamara. Given the timing of Miller's injury, he should have a chance to be ready for the start of the 2026 season. However, he will have to fight for touches with Kamara and 2025 sixth-round rusher Devin Neal, as well as anyone else New Orleans brings in over the offseason. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats may want to downgrade Miller's value heading into 2026.
