Rachaad White News
Sunday, August 9, 7:10 PM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White enters the 2026 season amid concerns about his situation. Over the past two seasons, White has averaged 54 scrimmage yards and scored 13 touchdowns in 27 games, posting 11 half-PPR fantasy points per game. After running behind one of the NFL's strongest run-blocking units, White now joins Washington, where the team will be without star left tackle Laremy Tunsil (triceps) for most of the season. His career average of 3.9 yards per carry, aided by the Buccaneers' solid offensive line, could drop substantially if the Commanders' offensive line struggles without Tunsil. He will also have to contend with second-year running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who has stood out in the passing game this camp and averaged 4.6 yards per carry in 2025. With offensive line concerns and a young back standing out, White has plenty of red flags heading into the 2026 season.

Ray Davis News
Friday, August 7, 7:24 PM
After a foot injury on Tuesday, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis (foot) returned to practice and is fine. Davis went down during an 11-on-11 drill with a lower-right-leg injury. He went to the medical tent, returned with tape on that foot/ankle, and had no serious injury. The former fourth-round pick struggled in 2025, totaling only 361 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in 17 games. As a direct handcuff to star running back James Cook, Davis has a tough time finding standalone value, with fellow backup Ty Johnson taking most of the receiving work in the offense. If Cook is injured, Davis would be a priority pickup; otherwise, he will likely be a non-factor in fantasy this season.
