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.

Javonte Williams News
Friday, May 1, 12:52 PM
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was one of the surprise success stories of the 2025 season, recording 1,338 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns on 287 touches across 16 games. The Cowboys rewarded Williams this past offseason with a new three-year, $24 million contract. For the second straight year, Williams figures to play a workhorse role in the Dallas backfield. Behind Williams, the unproven trio of Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah currently projects as the next men up on the team's running back depth chart. While Williams' 2025 production seemingly came out of nowhere, it may simply have been a product of him finally getting back to full health after the devastating knee injury that he suffered in 2022. Williams' value in dynasty formats is on the rise as he enters his age-26 season.
