Ty Chandler News
Tuesday, March 17, 12:29 PM
The New Orleans Saints announced on Tuesday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back Ty Chandler, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Saints added Travis Etienne Jr. to their backfield in free agency and could move on from veteran Alvin Kamara as a result. In the Big Easy, the 27-year-old Chandler will most likely be competing for backup duties with Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, and Audric Estime going into the 2026 season. The former fifth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 out of North Carolina was limited to only three games in 2025 due to injury, carrying the ball 17 times for 47 yards and catching three passes for 11 yards. Chandler's best season came in Year 2 in 2023, when he had 102 rushing attempts for 461 yards and three touchdowns, adding 21 receptions for another 159 yards in 17 games (four starts). With a likely limited role on offense with the Saints, Chandler is, at best, a dynasty/keeper stash for RB depth.

Lan Larison News
Friday, July 17, 6:08 PM
New England Patriots running back Lan Larison is expected to compete with Terrell Jennings for the RB3 role in training camp this summer behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson, according to The Boston Globe's Christopher Price. Larison, 24, went undrafted last year out of UC Davis before latching on with the Patriots. He was unable to get on the field at all in 2025 due to a broken foot that he suffered in the preseason, spending the entire campaign on Injured Reserve. Now healthy, Larison will attempt to win a depth role in New England's backfield while also competing for playing time with rookie Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery. The 5-foot-11, 209-pounder has a real shot to win the RB3 job going into the start of the 2026 regular season in early September, but he can be ignored for now in single-year fantasy football leagues.
