Zavier Scott News
Tuesday, December 30, 9:09 PM
Across 15 games this season, Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott has recorded just 195 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 42 touches. The 26-year-old did not record a single touch in Minnesota's Week 17 win over the Detroit Lions. However, the Vikings are dealing with injuries to both of their top two running backs, Jordan Mason (ankle) and Aaron Jones Sr. (leg). While both Minnesota veterans have a chance to play in the team's Week 18 finale against the Green Bay Packers, the team is out of playoff contention and does not have much reason to push players onto the field. Scott has shown he can produce as a receiving back when given the chance, recording six catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on eight targets with Jones Sr. inactive in Week 4. In deep fantasy leagues, Scott may be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into Week 18.

Jarquez Hunter News
Sunday, June 7, 12:00 PM
A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter appeared in just five games and did not record a single carry during his rookie season. With Rams running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum both appearing in all 17 games for Los Angeles, Hunter never had an opportunity to prove himself. Entering 2026, Williams and Corum remain atop the Rams running back depth chart and are coming off a season in which they combined to record over 2,300 yards from scrimmage and 19 touchdowns. Hunter may not even be guaranteed to win the RB3 role in Los Angeles, as veteran back Ronnie Rivers is also on the team's roster entering training camp. Hunter recorded 1,356 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season at Auburn, so he could have some untapped upside. However, his path to playing time in Los Angeles is hard to see. Dynasty managers may want to consider moving on from Hunter ahead of 2026.
