Travis Homer Signs With Steelers as RB Depth

Monday, March 23, 8:43 AM

Former Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer signed an undisclosed deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. In the last three seasons in Chicago, Homer only had seven rushing attempts for 21 yards while catching three of his four targets for 11 yards in the passing game in 36 games (zero starts). The 27-year-old will strictly serve as RB depth in Pittsburgh and can continue to be ignored in both single-year and dynasty/keeper leagues in 2026. Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, and Kaleb Johnson will be ahead of him on the RB depth chart this fall. The 5-foot-10, 211-pounder will most likely factor in more on special teams for the Steelers in a kick-return role. Homer was drafted in the sixth round in 2019 out of the University of Miami by the Seahawks. He has a healthy 5.3 yard-per-carry average in his seven NFL seasons, but he's had just 90 carries for 474 yards and one touchdown on the ground.

Max Bredeson News

Vikings Draft Michigan Fullback Max Bredeson 159th Overall

Saturday, April 25, 10:54 AM

The Minnesota Vikings have selected Michigan fullback/tight end prospect Max Bredeson with the 159th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Bredeson will mostly operate as a blocker and special teams contributor for the Vikings. He had zero carries and 12 receptions across five seasons at school, but PFF gave him an 85.2 grade in run blocking and a 78.1 grade in pass blocking last year. He'll be tasked with creating opportunities for players like Kyler Murray, Aaron Jones, and Jordan Mason, but he won't accrue much fantasy value himself. Bredeson can be avoided in all fantasy drafts.
