Miles Sanders News
Monday, July 27, 9:43 AM
Former Pro Bowl running back Miles Sanders (knee) worked out for the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Sanders is currently a free agent but is fully cleared from a knee injury that required surgery and cut his season short last year with the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old former second-rounder in 2019 by the Philadelphia Eagles out of Penn State only appeared in four games in Dallas in 2025 and had 20 carries for 117 yards and one touchdown, adding eight receptions for 30 yards as a receiver. If Sanders were to sign with the Raiders, he'd be competing for a depth role in their backfield behind starter Ashton Jeanty with rookie Mike Washington Jr. and Dylan Laube. Sanders was a first-time Pro Bowler in his final year with the Eagles in 2022 and reached the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, but he has fallen off drastically since then with 754 yards, four touchdowns, and 3.7 yards per carry in three seasons since with the Cowboys and Carolina Panthers. In his last year in Carolina, Sanders rushed the ball just 55 times for 205 yards (3.7 yards per tote) and two rushing touchdowns.

Josh Jacobs News
Wednesday, October 7, 8:36 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property in a case stemming from a May domestic-violence incident, and although his time on the exempt list could equal time served in any potential suspension from the NFL, the 28-year-old's stash value in fantasy football leagues continues to fall with each passing day he is not with the team. Green Bay's running game has struggled mightily in Jacobs' absence through the first four weeks of the 2026 season, as they rank dead last in the NFL with just 58.0 rushing yards per game. They have gone with a committee approach involving MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, and Chris Brooks (ankle), but nobody has really stood out so far. Jacobs, who has four 1,000-yard rushing seasons in his seven years in the league, cannot be outright dropped in most fantasy leagues, but managers are surely losing patience as he wastes a bench spot. Right now, he is rostered in 74% of Yahoo leagues, and he is fully expected to return to lead-back duties in Green Bay whenever he is allowed to rejoin the team.
