Kyren Williams News
Tuesday, June 9, 6:53 AM
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has finished as the RB9 or better in each of the past three seasons, even cracking the top six in a 2023 season in which a high ankle sprain limited him to only 12 games. With 2024 third-round pick Blake Corum becoming a popular breakout candidate following his strong finish to the 2025 season, Williams has seen his dynasty value slip, making him an under-the-radar trade target who is still very much in play for another RB1 finish. While Corum did see his usage spike over the final stretch of the season, he never came close to supplanting Williams as the primary ball carrier and was used sparingly in the passing game. Williams still finished the season with more than 300 opportunities and almost doubled Corum in both red zone and goal line carries. With the Rams profiling as an early Super Bowl favorite, both backs should see the field often and in favorable situations. Only turning 26 before the start of the season and under contract for the next three years, Williams should continue to provide both short and long-term value and could prove to be a bargain as RotoBaller's dynasty RB16.

Ashton Jeanty News
Wednesday, June 3, 10:42 AM
Levi Edwards of the Las Vegas Raiders' official site writes that the Raiders have put an emphasis during offseason workouts to make sure running back Ashton Jeanty "thrives and continues to grow in his role as the lead back." The Raiders selected Jeanty with the sixth overall pick last year out of Boise State, and the 22-year-old impressed in his first year in the NFL, leading all rookie RBs in rushing yards (975). Nearly 60% of his yardage came after contact, though. "If I don't have to, I don't want to come off the field," Jeanty said. The second-year back is "doing all the right things" to ensure that he's a three-down workhorse in 2026, according to RBs coach Omar Young. New head coach Klint Kubiak has never had a true workhorse back leading his offenses, but that could change now that he has Jeanty at his disposal. With a new coaching staff in town and quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza under center, Jeanty's fantasy stock is on the rise heading into his second NFL campaign. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 8 fantasy RB for the 2026 season.
