Tyler Allgeier News
Wednesday, July 29, 10:54 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier was the first back to receive first-team reps in training camp practice on Wednesday, according to team reporter Darren Urban. Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million contract in free agency before the team drafted Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 26-year-old has had a productive start to his career despite sharing the backfield with former teammate Bijan Robinson. With a crowded but talented backfield, the Cardinals could deploy a running back-by-committee early this season. The team has made a point to ease Love into the offense, which could benefit Allgeier's fantasy value to start the season. However, there could be too many mouths to feed when James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) return to full health. Fantasy managers will need to track the Cardinals' backfield during training camp before choosing a running back to invest in for 2026.

Jaydon Blue News
Wednesday, July 29, 2:16 PM
Dallas Cowboys second-year running back Jaydon Blue has flashed early in training camp this summer and had one of the highlights of the first day of practice on Wednesday, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "My speed is what I'm best at. Once I get in the open field and it's one-on-one, I don't think anyone in this league can stand a chance," Blue said. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said back in June that the 22-year-old Blue has been "night and day" in terms of his performance this year compared to last year. Javonte Williams is Dallas' clear RB1 after a career year in his first year with the Cowboys in 2025, but the RB2 job is up for grabs, and based on Blue's strong work so far, he may very well be the favorite. The former fifth-rounder from the University of Texas could never get his legs under him in a trying rookie campaign, as he had only 38 rushing attempts for 129 yards and a touchdown while adding one catch for five yards in five games played. Blue is battling with Malik Davis and Phil Mafah for the RB2 role this summer, with his elite speed giving him a leg up. The time is now for Blue to make his move.
