Travis Etienne Jr. News
Monday, June 15, 5:13 AM
After five years and four seasons with the Jaguars, running back Travis Etienne Jr. signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the New Orleans Saints, and just a year after entering the 2025 season in a somewhat ambiguous backfield, there is little doubt about his every-down role in Kellen Moore's up-tempo offense. In year one under Moore, with a rookie quarterback at the helm for much of the season, the Saints had the fastest pace of play in the NFL. As the operation continues to develop, there's a reasonable expectation for an uptick of no-huddle usage and more offensive plays per game, with Etienne specifically targeted in free agency for his three-down ability. With Alvin Kamara still on the roster, the depth behind Etienne is strong, but with both the Cowboys and Eagles, Moore has a history of running his offenses through a bell cow back. At 27 years old, Etienne figures to be that guy for the foreseeable future, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB19, he's a player worth pursuing as the finishing piece of a contending roster.

J.K. Dobbins News
Monday, June 15, 6:10 PM
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins had a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars nearly done in free agency earlier this year before he re-signed with the Broncos on a two-year, $8 million fully guaranteed deal, a source told Luca Evans of The Denver Post. Before suffering a season-ending Lisfranc foot injury, Dobbins ranked fifth in the NFL in rushing yards (772) through 10 games in 2025 in his first year in Denver. When healthy, the 27-year-old has been one of the best RBs in per-touch effectiveness, but the former second-rounder by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 out of Ohio State has never played a full season in his five years in the NFL. The Broncos averaged 4.8 yards per carry with Dobbins healthy last year, and 3.8 yards per carry without him, so they clearly think he's important to their backfield. Second-year back RJ Harvey (shoulder) isn't an ideal between-the-tackles runner, which is why Denver added Jonah Coleman in the fourth round of this year's draft. Dobbins' upside is obvious, but durability issues give him a scary floor, especially in what could be a three-headed monster of a backfield in Denver in 2026. Right now, RotoBaller has Dobbins ranked as the No. 31 fantasy RB as he looks to battle for touches with Coleman and Harvey in his second year with the Broncos.
