Former Pro Bowler Nick Chubb No Longer a Player Worth Holding in Dynasty Leagues

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.

Kimani Vidal's Dynasty Value in Question Due to Uncertain Playing Time Outlook in Los Angeles

Thursday, May 7, 11:28 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal played a surprisingly important role in his team's offense in 2026, finishing the year with 779 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 171 touches across 13 games. The Chargers were forced to turn to Vidal early in the year due to injuries to running backs Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton. While Vidal is back with Los Angeles for 2026, his playing time is an open question. Hampton should be fully healthy for the start of the year and profiles as a three-down back. The Chargers also signed former Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell to a two-year deal in free agency, which could signify that Mitchell has the upper hand on Vidal for the team's RB2 role. Despite the productive year in 2025, Vidal's dynasty value is trending in the wrong direction entering 2026.
