Texans | Woody Marks excited about competition Mon May 18, 01:02 AM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks said he is 'very excited' about the addition of RB David Montgomery to the running backs' room, and he is already forming a dynamic partnership with him. 'Just looking back at the clips with him and (Detroit Lions RB) Jahmyr Gibbs, it looked like they was having so much fun out there,' Marks said. 'When the running back room doing good and everybody blocking, it's a party in the running back room. So, we're looking to have that same joy him and (Gibbs) had bringing it down here in Houston.
| Footballguys view: In Marks' rookie season, he led the Texans with 703 rushing yards on 196 attempts (3.6 yards per carry), two touchdowns, including 24 receptions for three receiving TDs. It was quite an impressive campaign for the 2025 fourth-round pick out of USC, as he led Houston's RB room filled with veterans like Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, and Dare Ogunbowale. This year, ADP indicates that Montgomery is of more interest to fantasy investors. The former Lion is RB25. Marks is going as WR43. |

Buccaneers | Sean Tucker will have to bid his time Mon May 18, 12:33 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker appears to be in line to be the No. 3 back behind RBs Bucky Irving (shoulder) and newcomer Kenneth Gainwell. 'Right now, Bucky is on track to be ready to go. I think the combination of Kenny and Bucky are very similar as far as the skill set. Weight, size, all that,' running backs coach Skip Peete said. 'They're both capable of running the ball and running routes, catching and all that. They're not very large people, but they're willing pass protectors. Sean has continued to improve. He flashes sometimes, and he does a good job, and I think he will continue to get better.'
| Footballguys view: Tucker has shown the ability to produce in short-yardage situations. He scored five of his seven touchdowns from within six yards of the goal line last year. Listed at 195 pounds, Irving, who is coming off shoulder surgery, isn't a prototypical lead tailback in terms of size. After he missed seven games in the previous campaign, Gainwell and Tucker could turn the backfield into a committee under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, who drew criticism for his inconsistent usage of star running back Bijan Robinson in Atlanta. It's a backfield to monitor in coming weeks. |

Patriots | Myles Montgomery was highly sought after Mon May 18, 12:32 AM
New England Patriots RB Myles Montgomery, an undrafted rookie from UCF, received a guaranteed contract of $272,500, the richest of 12 UDFAs the teams signed. That's a reflection of the competition from other teams to ink Montgomery. He is expected to challenge for the No. 3 RB job with Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison and Jam Miller.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Mike Reiss, those close to the 23-year-old Montgomery say the Patriots appealed to him because of the opportunity to compete, and also the approach and success of the coaching staff. Of course, Montgomery faces a tough battle to work his way into the mix. |

Undrafted free-agent RB Miles Davis (Utah State) will work out for the Carolina Panthers, according to a source.
Link to story Buccaneers | Bucky Irving to be limited in OTAs Sun May 17, 10:15 AM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) will be a limited participant in organized team activities and should be completely healthy by the beginning of training camp.
| Footballguys view: In the meantime, free agent pickup Kenneth Gainwell and RB3 extraordinaire Sean Tucker will get a head start in new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's offense. Irving is still the most valuable fantasy running back on the Bucs, but after Robinson called the backs interchangeable, the ADP spread between him and Gainwell shouldn't be five rounds. |
Raiders | Mike Washington could see early role Sat May 16, 04:06 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. should have a chance to earn a solid role as a change-of-pace back for the Raiders during his rookie season, in the opinion of Raiders.com's Levi Edwards.
| Footballguys view: Washington has a great size/speed combination. He's a powerful back who can punish defenders or run by them. Washington needs to be better in pass protection and ball security if he's going to play as a change-of-pace option behind Ashton Jeanty. |
Ravens | Justice Hill has good chance to be No. 2 RB Sat May 16, 02:18 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Justice Hill will likely be the No. 2 running back for the Ravens in 2026 if he can show that he is healthy, in the opinion of BaltimoreRavens.com's Clifton Brown.
| Footballguys view: Hill is a seasoned veteran who can be relied on as a three-down player. He won't get on the field much unless Derrick Henry is banged up or needs a breather. That means his fantasy value would be low unless the opportunity changes - and then Hill could at least be an RB3/flex option with a larger role. Rasheen Ali and rookie Adam Randall will push Hill for the no.2 job. |

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson expected to increase production in 2026 Sat May 16, 01:15 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to increase his production in 2026, in the opinion of Matt Legros of Patriots Wire on Saturday, May 16.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson will continue to work in tandem with TreVeyon Henderson, just like he did last season. In 2025, Stevenson finished the year as the no.22 fantasy back in standard-scoring leagues. Expect him to finish in a similar spot despite the speculation that he could see an increase in production. |

Texans | Woody Marks working on routes Sat May 16, 01:09 PM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks said offensive coordinator Nick Caley has had him working on his route running this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Marks has big-play ability anytime he touches the ball. It would make sense for the Texans to have him work on his receiving ability. David Montgomery was added to work with Marks in an RBBC. With Montgomery likely the lead back, and Marks playing more of a receiving-back role, we could see Marks settling in as a deep flex play for Fantasy GMs. |
Raiders | Las Vegas using different personnel to help Ashton Jeanty Fri May 15, 02:57 PM
Las Vegas Raiders head coach should be expected to use more 12 and 13 personnel plays to help out RB Ashton Jeanty in 2026, according to ESPN's Ben Solak.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders best pass catcher is a tight end - Brock Bowers - and they also have 2023 second round pick Michael Mayer and experienced journeyman Ian Thomas. Jack Bech is a good blocker at wide receiver and he could be used all over the formation as both a blocker and receiver. We should trust Klint Kubiak to set Jeanty up for success, making him worth a late first or early second round pick even though the Raiders offense let him and his fantasy teams down last year. |
Cowboys | Malik Davis favored to be RB2 Fri May 15, 01:11 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis is believed to be the favorite to land the team's RB2 role, according to Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris.
| Footballguys view: This is an important backup running back battle to watch. The Cowboys were among the league leaders in running back scores, with 16, and their offensive line had some bad injury luck. Their defense should also be improved, so this might be a plug and play situation if Javonte Williams misses time. 2025 fifth round pick Jaydon Blue and seventh round pick Phil Mafah are also contenders to be the top backup to Williams. |

Broncos | Deuce Vaughn waived by Denver Tue May 12, 04:47 PM
Denver Broncos RB Deuce Vaughn was waived on Tuesday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: Vaughn entered the league with the Dallas Cowboys as a sixth-round pick out of Kansas State in the 2023 NFL draft. He totaled 168 yards from scrimmage on 50 touches in 14 career games in Dallas before landing on Denver's practice squad last summer. He did not appear in any games last season. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Bucky Irving will be limited in OTAs Tue May 12, 03:16 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) will be limited at the start of OTAs.
| Footballguys view: Irving is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. According to local reports, the hope is that he'll be fully cleared by training camp. While he has been participating in rehab, team officials are taking a cautious approach to his return to full practice. We'll be watching for more on Irving in coming weeks. In the meantime, free-agent addition Kenneth Gainwell will get more work as the team installs new coordinator Zac Robinson's scheme. |
Buccaneers | Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell seen in a similar way Tue May 12, 01:15 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson told the media that RB Bucky Irving and RB Kenneth Gainwell, 'can kind of match each other in certain ways with what they can do in the pass game.'
| Footballguys view: Gainwell, who was signed to replace the departed Rachaad White, rushed for 537 yards and five touchdowns on 4.7 yards per carry, and caught 73 passes for 486 yards and three touchdowns for the Steelers last year. He eclipsed 1,000 scrimmage yards on the season and was voted by his teammates as Steelers team MVP. With Irving coming off shoulder surgery performed earlier this year, Gainwell will get a chance to get a head start in the team's new offense. We expect a timeshare with Irving leading the way, but Gainwell's progress should be monitored. |

Jaguars | Ameer Abdullah signs with Jaguars Mon May 11, 11:15 AM
Free-agent RB Ameer Abdullah (Colts) signed an undisclosed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday, May 11. RB Ja'Quinden Jackson was waived.
| Footballguys view: Abdullah, who turns 33 in June, spent last season with the Colts, mainly playing special teams. However, he did have 60 yards rushing with one touchdown, along with 16 catches for 99 yards. He spent the previous three seasons with the Raiders, posting 311 rushing yards with two TDs plus 40 catches for 261 yards with three touchdowns in 2024. Expect far more special teams work than offensive production if he makes this roster. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman could vie for RB3 job Mon May 11, 12:05 AM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman might be in line for the No. 3 job behind RBs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. He was selected with the team's second pick, and he is tough, and Coleman can catch passes and pass protect, which should endear him to head coach Sean Payton.
| Footballguys view: With Dobbins injured and unavailable down the stretch last year, Harvey was inefficient as the primary back. As a result, the Broncos entered the offseason looking to bolster the ground attack. That's precisely why they used their second pick on Coleman. Coleman is a tough, physical running back with three-down capabilities due to his ability to catch passes and pass protect. According to SI.com's Justin Melo, Sean Payton will immediately fall in love with his commitment and rugged approach. |
Commanders | Kaytron Allen under contract Sun May 10, 06:36 PM
Washington Commanders sixth-round draft choice RB Kaytron Allen signed a four-year contract with the Commanders Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Allen is already making noise in rookie minicamp and should have the edge to be the short yardage back and game finisher to begin the season, with a chance to lead the team in carries with the new under center running game that he is well-suited for. Allen is an excellent assignment sound runner, but he doesn't have an impressive burst or quickness. |
Ravens | GM explains decision on Keaton Mitchell Sun May 10, 04:20 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell was not tendered by the Baltimore Ravens because of his salary figure, as well as his lack of flexibility. 'He was gonna make over $3 million this year based on the system, which was a restricted free agency system, the tender,' general manager Eric DeCosta said. 'Again, not a real special teams guy. A talented space runner. He's not necessarily the most dynamic pass-catching back, so then it becomes, well, would you rather have (Derrick Henry) on the field or Keaton?'

Seahawks | Kenny McIntosh could toss hat into ring Sun May 10, 02:30 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh (knee) is a speedy back who has battled knee injuries in the early part of his career, including a torn ACL suffered in training camp last summer. 'He's coming along,' head coach Mike Macdonald said last month. 'It's tough to put a timetable to it. He's training his tail off. I think it's one of those deals where, 'Hey, let's just keep hitting those benchmarks until we can evaluate what it's going to look like in the fall.''

Seahawks | No timeline for Zach Charbonnet's return Sun May 10, 02:23 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee suffered during the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He is expected to return at some point this season, but head coach Mike Macdonald doesn't know exactly when Charbonnet will be back. 'I can't give you a timeline right now, but I can tell you he's killing it as we knew he would,' coach Mike Macdonald said during the draft. 'With these long-term injuries -- I say it all the time, you've just got to stack these things. You have to be able to get to the next thing and go rip it, and that's what he's doing. I'm excited for Zach.'
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks can afford to be conservative with Charbonnet's return after taking Jadarian Price at the end of the first round of the draft. He isn't worth taking in typical leagues because his ceiling even when he returns isn't very high. |
Zach Charbonnet player page
Seahawks | Emanuel Wilson could have early role Sun May 10, 01:43 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson is a bigger back at 5-foot-10 and 226 pounds, who gives the team a power runner while RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is on the shelf recovering from ACL surgery in February. Despite the absence of Charbonnet, likely until later in the regular season, Wilson still has to contend with top healthy holdover RB George Holani and rookie draft pick RB Jadarian Price for the top spot on the depth chart.
| Footballguys view: If Price isn't ready for prime time - he was a back up in college because he played with Jeremiyah Love - then Wilson will be the primary early down and goal line back for the Seahawks. He's worth a late round pick in best ball leagues and an end of the bench spot in deep dynasty leagues. |
Seahawks | George Holani to see third-down work? Sun May 10, 01:34 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani is the lone healthy holdover in the backfield, and his work catching the ball and working in pass protection makes him a strong candidate for third-down work, even when RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is ready to return. Holani is battling free-agent addition RB Emanuel Wilson and draft pick RB Jadarian Price for a more meaningful role until Charbonnet can get back.
| Footballguys view: Holani doesn't have standalone value in fantasy leagues, but he could lower Jadarian Price's ceiling if he proves to be a capable third down back. If injuries thin the backfield, he could have spot start fantasy value during the season. |
Seahawks | Jadarian Price has plenty of competition Sun May 10, 01:29 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is viewed as a replacement for RB Kenneth Walker III (Chiefs), but he isn't the clear-cut RB1 with RBs Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in the mix, and RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) expected back at some point. The team isn't asking Price to go from RB2 in college to a high-volume starter in the NFL. He averaged roughly 18.5 snaps and nearly nine touches per game over the past two seasons at Notre Dame, and he also returned kickoffs, so he could be used in that role, even with the presence of WR Rashid Shaheed.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks aren't going away from a committee backfield, but that doesn't mean that Price isn't worth a top five selection in dynasty rookie drafts. If he gets goal line work and leads the team in carries, that should be more than enough to be a fantasy RB2, with room to grow in the future because Zach Charbonnet is a free agent in 2027. |

Vikings | Demond Claiborne under contract Sat May 9, 02:27 PM
Minnesota Vikings sixth-round draft choice RB Demond Claiborne signed a four-year contract with the Vikings Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Claiborne is a compact, shifty back with speed who is comparable to Devonta Freeman. The Vikings top two backs will be free agents next year, and Aaron Jones has missed at least five games in two of the last three seasons. Expect Claiborne to get a chance to show what he can do at some point this season, which could secure him a role in the Vikings backfield going forward. |
Dolphins | Four undrafted players officially signed Sat May 9, 02:05 PM
Updating previous reports, undrafted free-agent QB Mark Gronowski (Iowa), RB Anthony Hankerson (Oregon State), WR Donaven McCulley (Michigan) and RB Le'Veon Moss (Texas A&M) officially signed with the Miami Dolphins Friday, May 8. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Moss is a power back and the only true pile pusher on the Dolphins roster. We'll see if he can overtake 2025 sixth round pick Ollie Gordon, who didn't make much of an impact when he got on the field as a rookie. |
Texans | Houston officially adds five UDFAs Sat May 9, 01:48 PM

| Footballguys view: Haynes is a fire hydrant with quickness and speed who could unseat 2025 sixth round pick Tahj Brooks as the third string back. Brooks failed to impress last year, so his roster spot is vulnerable. |

San Francisco 49ers third-round draft choice RB Kaelon Black signed a four-year contract with the 49ers Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Kyle Shanahan can never have enough running backs, apparently. Black is a try hard runner who is not the most athletically gifted, but will be a dependable assignment-sound back. We'll be monitoring 49ers news to learn whether Black, 2025 fifth round pick Jordan James, or 2024 fourth round pick Isaac Guerendo is the first in line for touches if Christian McCaffrey misses time. |
Patriots | Jam Miller signs rookie contract Sat May 9, 01:10 PM
