  Packers | Christopher Brooks works with starters    Fri May 29, 04:21 PM

Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks took first-team reps during 11-on-11 drills at OTAs on Wednesday, May 27.

Footballguys view: Brooks' strength is his passing down skills, but with Emanuel Wilson gone to Seattle in free agency and MarShawn Lloyd once again "working off to the side", Brooks is the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, who was in the news because of domestic violence allegations earlier this week. We should know if the Packers expect Jacobs to miss time due to a suspension by whether they decide to improve their running back bench.

  49ers | Isaac Guerendo may miss most of camp    Fri May 29, 04:21 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral this offseason and is expected to be sidelined until around the end of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Footballguys view: Guerendo was already viewed as behind third round pick Kaelon Black and last year's fifth round pick Jordan James on the depth chart. It's possible that Guerendo ends up on the NFI or PUP list to start the season. This news almost insures that the 2024 fourth round pick will be a non-factor in the 49ers backfield this season.

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey to be eased in    Thu May 28, 08:39 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey did not practice Thursday, and the team plans to take a 'cautious' approach with McCaffrey throughout the offseason program and training camp.

Footballguys view: McCaffrey soon will turn 30. That raises questions about managing his workload moving forward. "I think the workload in our sport is really monitored in practice, not in games," he said. So for McCaffrey, workload management happens in the days between the games. After an Achilles injury followed by a knee injury limited McCaffrey to four games in 2024, he started every game in 2025 and finished with more than 400 touches. Even if it makes sense to lighten his load, the Niners have rarely done that in games. We don't expect them to start this season.

  49ers | Surgery for Isaac Guerendo    Thu May 28, 06:55 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) has undergone surgery to repair a torn pectoral.

Footballguys view: It was already expected to be a competitive battle for touches in the 49ers' running back room in 2026. Now, Guerendo faces another obstacle. "It's not a season-ender," Shanahan said. "But it's right around the end of training camp." With second-year man Jordan James and 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black competing for reps behind Christian McCaffrey, an absence isn't great news for Guerendo. We'll watch for more.

  Saints | Kendre Miller recovering    Thu May 28, 05:43 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered during the 2025 season and is unlikely to do much during offseason workouts, according to head coach Kellen Moore.

Footballguys view: Miller hasn't played more than eight games in a season throughout his three-year NFL career. The focus right now is simply on getting healthy, staying healthy, and staying on track to return to the field. Miller has certainly shown upside when available, showcasing a burst and physicality that made him an intriguing Day 2 draft pick. However, availability is the best ability, as some say, and that's been the biggest obstacle for him early in his career. The Saints landed former Jacksonville Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. on a four-year deal. He's expected to be the lead back this year.

  Packers | MarShawn Lloyd needs to earn role    Thu May 28, 04:47 PM

Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has looked good so far this offseason, but head coach Matt LaFleur said Lloyd will have to show consistency during offseason workouts and training camp in order to have a role in the offense.

Footballguys view: The Packers let running back Emanuel Wilson depart in free agency and did not replace him with a pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. That's viewed as a signal of the team's remaining confidence in 2024 Lloyd, who has been limited by injuries to just one appearance since his arrival. The Packers also have Chris Brooks, Pierre Strong Jr., and Damien Martinez behind Josh Jacobs, who is now dealing with off-field issues. One concern: Lloyd is not working fully at this point -- something all involved need to see when training camp opens.

  Saints | Alvin Kamara absent from OTAs    Thu May 28, 02:36 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara was not present at OTAs on Thursday, May 28.

Footballguys view: Kamara sitting out voluntary sessions isn't unusual. As noted by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football on Wednesday, Kamara has been working out with his own trainers in preparation for 2026, as he often does. But given that general manager Mickey Loomis said earlier this month that the team is "trying to see how [Kamara is] gonna fit on our roster," it's notable that Kamara isn't in attendance -- even if it's not out of the ordinary. The team signed former Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. this offseason. We'll continue to watch for more.

  Jaguars | No clear No. 1 back for Jaguars    Wed May 27, 02:27 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RBs Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr. and LeQuint Allen are expected to receive playing time this upcoming season, but head coach Liam Coen said the team does not have a No. 1 running back at this point and there will be a competition during training camp for playing time.

Footballguys view: Tuten was being drafted in the fifth round as RB23 immediately after the NFL Draft. He's RB25 now. Rodriguez is RB45, available in Round 11. For fantasy investors, that's the entire problem in three sentences. The fifth-round price assumes Tuten gets the lion's share -- the carries, the goal-line work, the passing-down snaps -- of the workload. We're not there yet. We'll be following up on this situation often in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

  Dolphins | De'Von Achane rehabbing    Wed May 27, 11:25 AM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) is doing rehab work with trainers at organized team activities. Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp.

Footballguys view: Achane missed the final game of the 2025 season because of the injury, and head coach Jeff Hafley said the team will be cautious as they head toward training camp. "You'll see him out there doing some drills and doing some running around," Hafley said. "You will not see him in full team drills." As Profootballtalk.com's Josh Alper noted, the Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health, so Achane should be moving full speed ahead soon enough.

  Packers | Josh Jacobs would carry $6 mill in dead cap    Wed May 27, 10:36 AM

  49ers | Christian McCaffrey to see lessened workload in 2026?    Wed May 27, 12:30 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey could have his touches managed a bit more in 2026 to keep him fresher, in the opinion of 49ersWebZone's David Bonilla on Tuesday, May 26.

Footballguys view: After an injury-plagued 2024 season, McCaffrey was NFL Comeback Player of the Year after a 2025 campaign that included 2,126 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns on a league-high 413 touches. Kyle Shanahan thinks it was too much. "Last year was the worst we had been at it," the coach said of managing McCaffrey's workload. In an effort to lessen that burden, the 49ers hope second-year man Jordan James and 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black can provide a change-of-paces options to lighten CMC's load. Still, expecting McCaffrey to get anything but the lion's share of the work here is a stretch.

  Buccaneers | Bucky Irving expected back in 'Summer or Fall'    Tue May 26, 01:32 PM

Bucs HC Todd Bowles says he expects RB Bucky Irving to be back later "in the summer or fall" as he recovers from shoulder surgery.

Footballguys view: While multiple reporters are indicating a summer return is more likely, the fact that Bowles mentioned this could carry into fall is an eyebrow raiser. After a 1,000-yard rookie season, Irving rushed for 588 yards with one touchdown and caught 30 passes for 277 yards with three TDs last season. There's still time before the season starts, but this is worth watching. Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker are the other primary backs on the roster.

  Raiders | Ashton Jeanty will rarely leave the field    Tue May 26, 11:54 AM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty will be a player that rarely leaves the field, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. 'We want to put a lot of pressure on Ashton,' Kubiak said. 'I don't know the play snap percentage, but you look at Christian McCaffrey, his play snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don't want to come off the field.'

Footballguys view: Even after Las Vegas drafted former Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. in the fourth round, creating the assumption he would cut into Jeanty's workload, Kubiak preached the opposite after the team's second OTA practice last Wednesday. He understands that if his offense is going to function properly, it will need more out of Jeanty after he led all rookies in rushing yards (975) and yards from scrimmage (1,321). With a better scheme in place, improvement on the offensive line, and a year of experience, Jeanty, who is being drafted as RB7, is in a position to break out.

  Jets | Breece Hall to be busy?    Mon May 25, 12:08 AM

New York Jets RB Breece Hall will be an important part of what the Jets do on offense, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich. 'Listen, it's certainly going to be no secret or surprise to say that we're going to want to run the football, and so we'll continue to emphasize that,' Reich said. 'These guys ran the ball pretty well last year, so we'll build on that.'

Footballguys view: While Hall has never finished better than 13th in rushing yards in a season, he hasn't been the issue. The limited touches working in an offense, throwing the ball in catch-up mode, were more responsible. But we've seen Hall used in the passing game. He was a true dual threat in 2023 (he was RB2 overall that season) and 2024, when he produced a combined 133 receptions. The Jets should get improved quarterback play. Geno Smith is an upgrade over Justin Fields, and additions to the receiving corps should create space for Hall in the run game.

  Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet not at workouts    Sat May 23, 01:19 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) has not been seen at the voluntary workouts this offseason.

Footballguys view: No surprise here. Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the Seahawks' divisional round win over the 49ers last postseason, and didn't have surgery to repair the injury until February. Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said Charbonnet is "not going to miss the whole year." We expect Charbonnet to be on PUP to begin the regular season. That means 2026 first-round pick Jadarian Price will have the opportunity to be the team's lead back in Week 1. We see Price as an RB2/3 with upside in that role, and he could keep that role for much of the regular season as Charbonnet continues to recover.

  Saints | Kendre Miller could have competition    Fri May 22, 02:26 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller is not guaranteed to be the No. 2 back if RB Alvin Kamara does not return to the team, according to Mike Triplett of New Orleans Football, and Triplett believes the Saints would 'go shopping' for a reliable backup if Kamara is not with the team.

Footballguys view: Miller has failed to endear himself to Kellen Moore and his coaching staff going into the last year of his rookie deal after the team drafted him in the third round back in 2023. Last year's sixth round pick Devin Neal and Broncos 2024 fourth round pick Audric Estime both looked competent after Kamara and Miller went down last year, and either of them could beat out Miller for a roster spot whether Kamara is with the team this year or not.

Free-agent RB Carlos Washington Jr. (Falcons) signed with the Miami Dolphins Thursday, May 21. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Jalin Conyers.

Footballguys view: Washington spent the last three years on the Falcons practice squad. He's a versatile back who has a chance to make the Dolphins as their fourth running back behind De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II after priority UDFA signing Le'Veon Moss retired shortly following Miami signing him when he went undrafted this year.

Free agent RB Salvon Ahmed (Colts) and DB Anthony Johnson Jr. (Giants) signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, May 21. In a corresponding move, they waived RB Deion Hankins.

Footballguys view: Ahmed suffered a serious ankle injury in camp last year, but was declared fully healthy and will vie for a roster spot behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in Chicago. Ahmed's initial burst was NFL quality in his cup of coffee with the Dolphins earlier in his career, so we shouldn't completely write him off.

  Browns | Quinshon Judkins taking part in drills    Wed May 20, 01:09 PM

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) is participating in individual drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 20.

Footballguys view: Judkins dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula against the Bills in Week 16 and missed the final two games of the season. According to multiple reports, Wednesday was a light practice, but Judkins was out there moving around well, and there was no noticeable sign of a brace or other support on the leg. Judkins had 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games last season. An upgraded offensive line and a new, offensive-minded head coach in Todd Monken could benefit Judkins this season. He's currently being drafted as RB22.

  Broncos | Jonah Coleman signs rookie deal    Wed May 20, 10:50 AM

Denver Broncos fourth-round pick RB Jonah Coleman signed his rookie four-year deal Wednesday, May 20. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

Footballguys view: While he starts his career in Denver behind veteran J.K. Dobbins and second-year man RJ Harvey, Coleman is a tough, physical runner with three-down capabilities due to his ability to catch passes and pass protect. He's an interesting prospect with an RB48 ADP that puts him in the same tier with Jacksonville's Chris Rodriguez Jr., the Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tennessee's Tyjae Spears, and Detroit's Isiah Pacheco.

  Bills | James Cook not at start of OTAs    Tue May 19, 03:14 PM

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook was not at the team's OTAs on Tuesday, May 19. This was a voluntary session for the team.

Footballguys view: There's no reporting -- or even speculation -- on the reason for today's absence. So there's no need to get too far in front of this. We'll watch for more and report back as needed. Cook, who got a contract extension last season, has rushed for 1,000 yards in three straight seasons, including a career-best 1,621 in 2025 for his first-ever rushing title. He also posted a 2024 campaign where he was one of only three players with 18 or more touchdowns, as his 16 rushing scores tied for the most in the league. We'll follow up as needed.

  Dolphins | De'Von Achane at OTAs    Tue May 19, 11:16 AM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane reported to organized team activities Tuesday, May 19.

Footballguys view: The Dolphins' new brass made a statement by rewarding Achane with a four-year, $64 million contract extension last week. Achane, who led the league with 5.7 yards per carry in 2025, has been around the building throughout the offseason, head coach Jeff Hafley said. "It's not like he just showed up after he signed his contract," Hafley said. "He's a great player, and I'm really glad we have him." Achane finished 2025 with 1,350 rushing yards with eight touchdowns, plus 67 receptions for 488 yards with four TDs. Expect to pay a first-round price to secure his services.

  Giants | Cam Skattebo proclaims he's 'ready to go for Week 1'    Tue May 19, 12:05 AM

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo said that he's 'feeling great' and that he's 'ready to go for Week 1' at New York Giants Town Hall on Monday, May 18.

Footballguys view: Skattebo's rookie campaign ended in Week 8 last year with a gruesome-looking dislocated ankle injury. He told reporters at the end of last season that he was making progress and even hoped to do some light work in the offseason. That won't be the case, at least not in terms of doing team drills. Even though he feels great, Skattebo is still "a little ways off" from a return to the field. Training camp is still two months away, and the 2026 season is even further out, so we'll continue to monitor.

  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
