Michael Burton News
Wednesday, March 26, 2:35 PM
The Denver Broncos are re-signing fullback Michael Burton for the 2025 campaign, according to team reporter Zac Stevens. Burton was originally a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 2015 out of Rutgers and has spent time with the Lions, Bears, Saints, Redskins, Chiefs, and Broncos. He reunited with Sean Payton in Denver in 2023 and is back for his third season with the organization. The 33-year-old is primarily utilized as a pure blocker, but he has compiled 42 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns in 147 career games. He's hauled in 31 receptions for 196 yards and two scores as a receiver. In 2025, he could be blocking for a highly-drafted rookie running back like North Carolina's Omarion Hampton or Ohio State's TreVeyon Henderson.

Jarquez Hunter News
Sunday, June 7, 12:00 PM
A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter appeared in just five games and did not record a single carry during his rookie season. With Rams running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum both appearing in all 17 games for Los Angeles, Hunter never had an opportunity to prove himself. Entering 2026, Williams and Corum remain atop the Rams running back depth chart and are coming off a season in which they combined to record over 2,300 yards from scrimmage and 19 touchdowns. Hunter may not even be guaranteed to win the RB3 role in Los Angeles, as veteran back Ronnie Rivers is also on the team's roster entering training camp. Hunter recorded 1,356 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season at Auburn, so he could have some untapped upside. However, his path to playing time in Los Angeles is hard to see. Dynasty managers may want to consider moving on from Hunter ahead of 2026.
