Will Kyren Williams Continue to Cede Touches in 2026?

Tuesday, February 10, 9:56 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has finished as an RB1 in each of the past three seasons, often overcoming lower efficiency outings with sheer volume and touchdowns. In 2025, he saw his per-game touches dip to a three-year low, as second-year back Blake Corum handled a career high 145 carries, forming a true backfield committee down the stretch of the regular season and in two out of three playoff games. Both players looked to have fresh legs on a run that went as deep as the NFC championship game, and it would come as no surprise to see carries divvied up similarly in 2026. With Los Angeles' top-ranked offense expected to return the bulk of its starters, Williams will still be viewed as an RB1 in 2026 redraft leagues and likely just outside of that in dynasty startups, making the 25-year-old a potential early-season sell candidate.

Quinshon Judkins Out of Walking Boot, Will be Ready for Training Camp

Tuesday, February 24, 12:47 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) is out of his walking boot and will be "good to go" for training camp this summer, general manager Andrew Berry told Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Judkins will be fully healthy entering his second season in the NFL after having surgery to fix the dislocated right ankle that he suffered in late December. The 22-year-old second-rounder out of Ohio State ran the ball 230 times for 827 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns in 14 starts in his first NFL season in 2025, adding 26 receptions on 36 targets for 171 yards through the air. He took over as the team's lead back pretty early on and should be the RB1 for the Browns in 2026, giving him RB2 value in fantasy drafts this fall. The Browns are expected to devote plenty of resources to improving their offensive line this offseason, which should benefit Judkins as he enters Year 2.
