Josh Jacobs News
Saturday, July 18, 11:09 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a consistently high-end fantasy contributor since joining the Packers in 2024, recording nearly 2,900 scrimmage yards and 30 touchdowns on 607 touches over the past two seasons. However, Jacobs' profile carries some uncertainty ahead of 2026, as he could be facing a league suspension after being arrested following a domestic disturbance in May. Even if Jacobs avoids missed time, he's entering his age-28 season and has already racked up a ton of mileage on his legs. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Jacobs has averaged over 300 touches per season. His efficiency fell off in 2025, as he averaged 4.0 yards per carry and 4.5 yards per touch after averaging 4.4 yards per carry and 5.0 yards per touch in 2024. At his current redraft ADP of RB17, Jacobs may be a player for fantasy managers to avoid in 2026.

Jaylen Warren News
Tuesday, July 14, 5:40 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren continues to produce despite his ADP over the last few seasons. Warren has exceeded expectations and doesn't seem to be getting the credit he deserves. This past season, Warren rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and scored six touchdowns on 211 carries. He also hauled in 40 receptions for 333 yards and an additional two scores through the air. That performance landed him the RB16 spot in half-PPR leagues. Given his success, Warren will likely continue to see a similar usage next season. The Steelers did bring in Rico Dowdle to help take the load off Warren on the ground. The 27-year-old should still be a popular target for Aaron Rodgers, so the addition of Dowdle shouldn't threaten Warren's overall value too much. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable sliding in Warren as their RB2.
