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.

LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Thursday, July 9, 11:02 AM
A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. recorded 148 scrimmage yards on 33 touches across 17 games as a rookie. Even in a backfield that also featured running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten, Allen Jr. carved out a semi-regular role as a passing-downs back. Entering 2026, Jacksonville's backfield no longer features Etienne Jr., who departed the team in free agency. Allen Jr. may still be blocked from fantasy-relevant playing time, as Tuten is expected to assume the Jaguars RB1 role and Jacksonville also brought in former Washington Commanders back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot). Still, Allen Jr. may have a chance to expand his role in the Jaguars offense, especially as a receiver out of the backfield. In his final collegiate season at Syracuse in 2024, Allen Jr. recorded 64 catches for 521 yards and four touchdowns across 13 games. In deeper dynasty leagues, Allen Jr. could be a worthy buy-low/stash candidate.
