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.

Travis Etienne Jr. News
Friday, April 17, 5:37 AM
Before agreeing to a four-year, $48 million deal with the New Orleans Saints in the opening hours of free agency, running back Travis Etienne Jr. had finished as the RB17 or better in three of his four seasons with the Jaguars, and twice inside the top-10. While it was his elite efficiency that got him there in 2022, averaging over five yards per carry, his 2023 campaign was buoyed by increased goal line usage and his resulting 11 rushing touchdowns. After a down year in 2024, he put together perhaps his most complete season in 2025, finishing the year with 1,399 yards from scrimmage and 13 total touchdowns. Now part of a Saints offense that showed much to be excited about down the stretch, Etienne is expected to see the lion's share of the work out of a backfield that heads into the draft with a soon-to-be-31-year-old Alvin Kamara, the oft-injured Kendre Miller, and 2025 sixth-round pick Devin Neal. After hitting a top-three dynasty value in his first year as a starter, the 27-year-old Etienne is now RotoBaller's RB18, presenting rebuilding managers with a rare second sell-high window after he had fallen as low as RB40 on KeepTradeCut.
