Josh Jacobs News
Friday, April 10, 5:12 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is 28 years old, and after an RB12 finish in 2025, he has fallen to RB19 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. Jacobs spent the final weeks of the season battling through a knee injury sustained in Week 11, and while he missed only two games in total, his play was clearly impacted, as he scored only three of his 14 total touchdowns from that point on. As Jacobs nears 30, health and durability will rightfully become a growing part of his profile, but prior to the injury, he was RB5 on the season. The Packers lost primary backup Emanuel Wilson to free agency, and outside of spending a top 100 pick at the position, they are unlikely to find anything more than replacement-level value in an underwhelming draft class. With Matt LaFleur showing a willingness to lean heavily on his lead back, Jacobs could represent a smart buy-low for dynasty contenders.

Jahmyr Gibbs News
Saturday, April 11, 9:12 PM
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had another spectacular season in 2025, totaling 1,223 rushing yards, 77 catches, 616 receiving yards, and 18 total touchdowns. He scored a career-high 366.9 fantasy points in PPR leagues, but despite this new personal-best mark, he actually dropped in the overall ranking from RB1 in 2024 to RB3 last year. Moving forward, Gibbs is a strong candidate to jump back up to the overall RB1 spot in 2026. The backfield dynamic looks a little different, which has the potential to help his cause. David Montgomery was traded to Houston, leaving behind 908 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns. Most -- but perhaps not all -- of that vacated volume will go to Isiah Pacheco, who signed with the Lions in free agency. Pacheco is averaging just 4.25 touchdowns per season throughout his career, though, so we wouldn't be surprised to see some of Montgomery's goal-line volume go to Gibbs. If the 24-year-old can stay healthy for a full 17-game season again, he'll certainly be in the mix to finish as the overall RB1 in 2026 and beyond. Fantasy managers are taking notice, as Gibbs ranks as the RB1 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings. That puts him ahead of Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who has been a top-three fantasy running back in back-to-back seasons.
