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.

Woody Marks News
Thursday, July 23, 7:33 AM
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks led the team in rushing in 2025 in his rookie season after being taken in the fourth round (116th overall) out of USC, carrying the ball 196 times for 703 yards and two touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (eight starts). The 25-year-old added 24 receptions for 208 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets as a pass-catcher. Fantasy managers may be down on him going into his second NFL season due to the Texans' offseason addition of David Montgomery, which could present a buying opportunity in both redraft and dynasty/keeper leagues this year. Running backs coach Danny Barrett said he still thinks the Georgia native will take on a sizable role in the team's backfield this year despite Monty's presence. Marks lacks the explosiveness as a pure runner -- he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry as a rookie -- and although he disappointed somewhat as a receiver in 2025, that's where most of his value will most likely lie in 2026. He profiles as a nice late-round target for RB depth in PPR leagues, and he'll be a solid handcuff to Montgomery as well.
