Nick Chubb News
Monday, June 22, 5:37 AM
In the conversation of the best pure runner in the league as recently as three years ago, four-time Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb has been unable to return to form since the devastating knee injury that ended his 2023 season, and the 30-year-old former second-round pick remains unsigned ahead of 2026 training camps. In his first full season back since the injury, Chubb played 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2025, but lacking the contact balance that made him one of the game's true elites through his first five seasons with the Browns, he ran for only 506 yards on 122 carries. Prior to the injury, Chubb had averaged 5.3 yards per carry in his brilliant career, but that number has fallen to 3.7 in his 23 games since. While a running back injury somewhere across the league could keep the door open for him to return for a ninth professional season, Chubb has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty RB99, and his days of fantasy relevance appear to be squarely behind him.

Rachaad White News
Sunday, July 26, 10:21 AM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White still has a place on win-now dynasty rosters, even if this backfield never gives him a traditional lead role. White finished 2025 with 572 yards and four touchdowns on 132 carries, then added 40 catches for 218 yards. The receiving work has always been the draw. He has 205 receptions through four NFL seasons, and Dan Quinn specifically pointed to what White added in the passing game during the offseason program. Washington has not named a starter, though Quinn expects several backs to handle important parts of the job. Jacory Croskey-Merritt led the team with 805 rushing yards and eight touchdowns last season, while Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols, and rookie Kaytron Allen leave plenty to sort out in camp. White may not get enough carries to become a weekly starter, but he does not need that kind of workload to help in PPR leagues. RotoBaller ranks him RB37 in dynasty. At 27 and on a one-year contract, he offers little reason for rebuilding teams to wait. Contenders can use the catches now and live with the uncertainty.
