LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Wednesday, April 1, 8:11 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. is trending up ahead of the 2026 season. Allen remains No. 3 on the depth chart after the Jaguars watched Travis Etienne Jr. depart in free agency, but replaced him with Chris Rodriguez Jr. There's a clear path to meaningful playing time for Allen, who may get on the field even more as Jacksonville's passing-down specialist. Allen was spectacular in pass protection last year, blocking some of the league's most talented pass rushers when he got on the field. He only touched the ball 33 times as a rookie, but he still got on the field for at least 25% of the snaps in more than one-third of the Jaguars' games. It's too early to project his workload for 2026, but we do expect his snap count to increase by a noticeable amount. Depending on just how involved Allen gets, he could even sneak onto the fantasy radar as a low-end RB3/flex in deeper PPR leagues.

Nathan Carter News
Monday, March 16, 7:10 PM
Atlanta Falcons running back Nathan Carter went undrafted last year out of Michigan State and only saw nine carries for 60 yards in seven games played in 2025 in his first year in the NFL. Seven of his nine carries on the year came in the team's Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old was buried on the RB depth chart behind both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Carter should have a much bigger role in 2026, though, after Allgeier left in free agency. The Falcons could still add to the position via the NFL draft in April, but as things currently stand, Carter appears to be the handcuff option for fantasy managers who take Robinson at No. 1 overall in fantasy football drafts this fall. The only other running back on the Falcons' current roster is Carlos Washington Jr., who hasn't played a single snap on offense in his two years in the NFL.
