Velus Jones Jr. News
Saturday, September 26, 5:34 PM
Seattle Seahawks running back Velus Jones Jr. was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, Gregg Bell reports. Bell was elevated ahead of the season opener against the New England Patriots, but he didn't log a carry. Lead back Jadarian Price (chest) is cleared to play this weekend after dealing with a chest and shoulder injury. The elevation of Jones could mean a slight downtick in value for Price this weekend. The Seahawks also have Emanuel Wilson and George Holani healthy in the backfield, so it's unlikely that Jones even plays. This is probably just the Seahawks playing it safe in case Price suffers a setback during the game against the Washington Commanders this weekend.

Kene Nwangwu News
Saturday, March 14, 7:12 PM
The New York Jets re-signed running back/return man Kene Nwangwu to a one-year, $2 million deal on Saturday, a source told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Nwangwu will receive $1 million guaranteed and can earn up to $3 million with incentives. The 28-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2021 out of Iowa State by the Minnesota Vikings didn't see a single carry in only two games with the Jets in 2024. He had a slightly bigger role last year, seeing 13 rushing attempts for 49 yards. Nwangwu only has 40 carries for 137 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and no touchdowns in his five years in the NFL, so fantasy managers shouldn't really expect much of him in 2026 behind Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis. He hasn't been much of a factor on offense, but Nwangwu had 604 yards and a touchdown on 18 kickoff returns for Gang Green in 2025. The Jets will hope he can continue to excel on special teams as a returner.
