Nick Chubb News
Friday, May 29, 5:25 AM
Since tearing his ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a devastating 2023 knee injury, veteran running back Nick Chubb has been unable to recapture the form that had made him a fantasy RB1 every year from 2019 to 2022, and as teams around the league gather for organized practices, he remains unsigned. His 15 games with the Texans in 2025 were the most since the injury, but he managed only 506 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and spent most of the season behind 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks. Now north of 30, any deal Chubb signs will likely be as a depth piece in an existing committee, as his bell cow days are comfortably behind him. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB100, he is no longer a player who needs to be rostered, even if he signs with a team before training camp.

Jerome Ford News
Saturday, June 20, 11:37 AM
After a quiet final season in Cleveland that saw him run for only 73 yards in 13 games before ending the year on injured reserve, running back Jerome Ford signed a one-year, $1.4 million deal with the Washington Commanders and could now find himself fighting for a roster spot. While the Commanders' running back room is not bursting with talent, it has become a deep group with a wide variety of skill sets. Jacory Croskey-Merritt led the team with 873 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns as a rookie in 2025, and the team added pass-catching specialist Rachaad White in free agency before spending a 6th-round pick on Penn State's all-time leading rusher, Kaytron Allen. Ford has shown efficiency as a runner and is an underrated receiver; although he does not excel in any one area, his versatility could be key to earning a role on gamedays. Unfortunately, projecting no higher than the third or fourth running back on a team that will also see a fair share of rushing yards claimed by quarterback Jayden Daniels, the soon-to-be 27-year-old Ford has become a depreciating dynasty asset and a potential drop candidate.
