Kaelon Black News
Saturday, May 2, 11:43 AM
After recording 1,040 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 186 carries across 16 games for the University of Indiana in 2025, running back Kaelon Black was selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Black's path to immediate playing time is blocked off by all-world 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who has led the NFL in touches in two out of the last three seasons. However, McCaffrey has also played seven games or fewer in three out of his last five campaigns. Black likely enters his rookie season in a battle with Jordan James and Isaac Guerendo for the RB2 role in San Francisco. Both James and Guerendo offer some upside, but neither has proven worthy of a consistent role at the NFL level. If Black emerges as the 49ers' lead backup in training camp, his upside as a handcuff option would be through the roof. Additionally, with McCaffrey entering his age-30 season, Black could be a key part of San Francisco's future at the running back position. His dynasty stock is rising following the NFL Draft.

Adam Randall News
Tuesday, June 2, 1:06 PM
After recording 1,068 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns on 204 touches across 13 games as a senior at Clemson in 2025, running back Adam Randall was selected in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. Veteran back Derrick Henry projects to dominate carries in Baltimore in 2026, and Justice Hill has established himself in the third-down role for the Ravens in recent years. However, Henry is entering his age-32 campaign, and Hill will hit unrestricted free agency following the 2026 season. Randall also began his career at Clemson as a wide receiver, so he could work his way into the mix alongside Henry as a receiving option out of the backfield. Fantasy managers should expect a limited role for Randall in his rookie season. Still, the situation around Randall in Baltimore makes him an intriguing long-term running back option in dynasty formats.
