Josh Jacobs News
Monday, May 4, 10:17 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs put together another highly productive season in 2025, recording 1,211 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns across 15 games. Since joining the Packers in the 2024 offseason, Jacobs has collected over 2,800 scrimmage yards and has hit pay dirt 30 times. Entering 2026, Jacobs projects to dominate backfield touches in Green Bay for a third consecutive season and should see plenty of red zone opportunities while playing for a potent Packers' offense. Still, dynasty managers may want to consider selling high on Jacobs. He dealt with calf, knee, and ankle issues in 2025, and his average yards per carry dropped to 4.0, down from 4.4 in his first season with Green Bay. Jacobs is also entering his age-28 season and has functioned as a true workhorse running back for most of his NFL career, averaging over 300 touches per season since entering the league in 2019. Jacobs projects as a borderline top-12 running back for 2026, but his dynasty value could be slowly declining with age.

Isaac Guerendo News
Tuesday, May 5, 9:37 AM
The Athletic's Vic Tafur writes that San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo, who was a fourth-round pick in 2024, "seems like he is buried" and will be "looking for a new team." The 49ers say that they will be looking to give Christian McCaffrey fewer touches in 2026, which is why they drafted rookie Kaelon Black in the third round. The Niners also have Jordan James, Patrick Taylor Jr., and Sincere McCormick in their RB room, leaving little playing time left for Guerendo. Black is expected to compete with James for the No. 2 role, so the 25-year-old Guerendo figures to be the RB4 in San Fran right now, at best. Guerendo carried the ball 84 times for 420 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four touchdowns while adding 15 receptions for 152 yards through the air in 16 regular-season games (three starts), but he didn't see a single carry in 14 regular-season contests in Year 2 in 2025. He appears to be the odd-man out, making him a cut candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues going into the 2026 campaign.
