Josh Jacobs News
Friday, June 26, 6:01 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been one of fantasy's most consistent contributors when healthy, but allowing for the uncertainty stemming from his pending legal situation, he projects as one of the biggest boom-or-bust picks in 2026 drafts. Jacobs was the RB5 in 2024 and remained a top 12 fantasy back last season despite missing two games and playing through injury over the back half of the year. He has scored 30 total touchdowns in his 32 games with the Packers, and behind an offensive line that should see improvement in the run game, a healthy Jacobs is a near-lock to outperform his current ranking of RotoBaller's RB17. Green Bay has made no corresponding moves at running back since news first broke of his domestic violence allegations, and while charges have yet to be filed against him, the risk of suspension will follow Jacobs into the year, likely keeping him out of the first two rounds of 2026 drafts and threatening to derail his season altogether.

Tyler Allgeier News
Friday, June 5, 12:21 PM
After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons, running back Tyler Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals this past March. At the time of signing, Allgeier looked like the RB1 in Arizona. However, the Cardinals used the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on highly-touted running back prospect Jeremiyah Love. It's an ironic twist of fate for Allgeier, who spent most of his time in Atlanta in a complementary role to Falcons running back Bijan Robinson. Still, Allgeier found ways to be productive in Atlanta, collecting 1,851 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 466 carries while playing with Robinson over the past three seasons. If Love needs some time to develop at the NFL level, Allgeier is more than capable of stepping in. Even if Love hits the ground running, Allgeier profiles as one of the best handcuff running back options for dynasty managers. In dynasty leagues, Allgeier may still be worth buying low on heading into 2026.
