Najee Harris News
Friday, May 8, 12:11 PM
Veteran running back Najee Harris (Achilles) appeared in just three games with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025 before suffering a torn Achilles tendon that ended his season. As he works his way back from the injury, Harris currently remains unsigned for the 2026 campaign. The 28-year-old was expected to play a complementary role in Los Angeles alongside Chargers running back Omarion Hampton, and it's unlikely that he'll land a starting gig coming off a serious injury. Harris was a productive back as recently as 2024, when he logged 1,326 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 299 touches across 17 games with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now that the 2026 NFL Draft is over, it would not be surprising to see Harris sign with a team in need of a steady veteran presence in the backfield. However, big-play upside and explosiveness have never been a strength of Harris' game. With his touch volume likely going down in 2026 and beyond, Harris' fantasy production ceiling is limited. Coming off his injury, Harris' dynasty stock is fading rapidly.

Rhamondre Stevenson News
Sunday, April 19, 7:52 AM
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson's perception in dynasty fantasy football leagues has declined, creating an opportunity for managers to buy low on a weekly RB3/flex option. Stevenson saw his role change during the second half of the 2025 season as rookie TreVeyon Henderson broke out. Still, the Patriots went run-heavy for most of the year, so Stevenson maintained a fantasy-relevant role alongside the rookie. In fact, over his final five games of the season, he averaged 63.8 rushing yards, 34.2 receiving yards, 1.2 touchdowns, and 20.0 fantasy points in full-PPR leagues per game. We expect Henderson to be the primary ball-carrier in 2026, but Stevenson should remain a heavily involved part of the offense, enough to justify deploying him as an RB3/flex every week. That's where there's value for fantasy managers; Stevenson has top-36 appeal every week, but he has fallen to RB46 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. At 28 years old, Stevenson still has plenty of good football ahead of him. He's an appealing dynasty trade target this offseason.
