Jets | Isaiah Davis to miss a few weeks Thu Aug 6, 04:40 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis (knee) will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of a knee injury, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Davis is the #3 back behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. Some thought Davis could push Allen for the #2 job, but the possibility of that has probably vanished with this injury. If the Jets think this injury will affect Davis into the season, return man Kene Nwangwu would become the #3 running back. Linebacker turned running back UDFA Chip Trayanum could get his foot in the door to make the team or at least the practice squad with Davis sidelined. |
Lions | Sione Vaki to miss time Thu Aug 6, 04:04 PM
Detroit Lions RB Sione Vaki (nose) will miss time after suffering a broken nose during practice Monday, Aug. 3, according to head coach Dan Campbell. 'We think he'll be OK,' Campbell said. 'He's just gonna need a minute here. It's just one of those freak things.'
| Footballguys view: Vaki hasn't been able to stay on the field enough to push Isiah Pacheco for snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs yet. This injury shouldn't affect Vaki for long, but it still solidifies Pacheco's status as the #2 running back after some speculated that Vaki could threaten his hold on the job. |

Raiders | Dare Ogunbowale signs with Las Vegas Thu Aug 6, 02:33 PM
Free agent RB Dare Ogunbowale (Texans) signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 6. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Ogunbowale is accomplished passing down back and he can also contribute on special teams. This complicates the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty, but fourth round size/speed back Mike Washington Jr. is still the favorite to get early down work if Jeanty goes down. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs misses practice Thu Aug 6, 02:26 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. The injury isn't considered to be long-term.
| Footballguys view: It's not a serious injury, but 2024 third round pick MarShawn Lloyd has had an impressive camp - and more importantly stayed healthy so far after two injury-riddled seasons in the NFL. Jacobs could have more company in the backfield than he has in the past, and it's fair to wonder if he is wearing down after logging at least 260 touches in each of the first seven years of his career. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor extended Thu Aug 6, 09:09 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor agreed to a two-year, $44 million extension Thursday, Aug. 6. The deal includes $39 million guaranteed and is worth a maximum of $47 million.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is essential to the team's success, and this is a strong sign that the team agrees. He's a first round pick in fantasy leagues, but James Cook is breathing down his neck to be the next running back off of the board after Christian McCaffrey. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will not play in Hall of Fame game Tue Aug 4, 02:49 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will not play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, Aug. 6. Brooks has not played for the Panthers since December of 2024.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers selected Brooks in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. But a pair of ACL tears, one while at the University of Texas and the other during his rookie season in Carolina, has limited him to just three games since. Brooks, however, has received rave reviews throughout what's been his first full NFL offseason -- and seems encouraged by his progress. Fantasy investors are encouraged, too. Brooks' ADP has risen to RB37, which is up considerably over the last month. |
Falcons | Bijan Robinson extended Tue Aug 4, 09:25 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson received a three-year extension Tuesday, Aug. 4, worth up to $75 million that will make him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $51 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Robinson had been holding in since the first day of training camp last Wednesday. Now under contract with the Falcons through 2030, Robinson should return Tuesday afternoon. He led the NFL in scrimmage yards last season (2,298) and was fourth in rushing yards (1,478). His 93-yard rushing touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams was the longest in the NFL last season. Robinson is currently being drafted as RB2. But with the current RB1, Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs, still holding in, it'll be interesting to see if investors gain a bit more confidence in Robinson in the short term. |

Seahawks | George Holani working ahead of Emanuel Wilson Tue Aug 4, 02:23 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani is currently looking like one of the top two options at running back alongside rookie RB Jadarian Price, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson, who writes that RB Emanuel Wilson would be mixed in as a 'powerful complement.'
| Footballguys view: It's not known when Zach Charbonnet will be ready to play or how the work will be split up once last year's co-starter returns after having ACL surgery in February. In the meantime, Holani, Price, and Wilson are all competing for their share of what's likely to be a three-player backfield committee. We'll be watching this backfield closely all month as we try to gain insight into their anticipated roles. Price is currently being drafted as RB26 while Holani is an afterthought at RB66. If Holani's current role persists, that price is a discount. |
Vikings | Jordan Mason in great shape Mon Aug 3, 05:55 PM
Jordan Mason showed up to training camp lighter and in great shape, according to offensive coordinator Wesley Phillips and head coach Kevin O'Connell. 'You guys can probably even tell just the way he looks,' O'Connell said. 'He's in unbelievable shape right now.'
| Footballguys view: If you're going to take a Vikings running back, Mason is probably the best pick, but the fact that all are going in the 10th round or later reflects the uncertainty of the split with veteran Aaron Jones, who was brought back on a reduced salary, and sixth round pick Demond Claiborne, who should figure in some as a change of pace to Mason and passing down option along with Jones. If the quarterback play is better than expected and the offensive line stays healthy (unlike last year), Mason could be a modest hit as a touchdown/game script driven RB2/Flex play. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai returns to practice, dealing with soft tissue injury Mon Aug 3, 09:12 AM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (leg) is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson. 'We're taking it day-by-day,' Johnson said. 'It should be on the shorter side.'
| Footballguys view: He returned to practice today, so Johnson's relative lack of concern appears to be appropriate. As long as Monangai doesn't have a recurrence of the injury, this shouldn't change his fantasy outlook. The lack of information did alarm the fantasy community, but now that the absence has been addressed, we can go back to DEFCON 5 on the Monangai injury alert. |

49ers | Kaelon Black leaves practice Sun Aug 2, 04:17 PM

The return of Deebo Samuel helps the backfield depth to an extent, but the 49ers felt the need to sign a running back today - Khalil Herbert, who was once flirting with fantasy relevance during his time with the Bears. |

Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier listed as starter for now Sun Aug 2, 02:17 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier is listed as the starting running back on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here as the Cardinals signed Allgeier to a two year, $12.25 million deal this offseason. Allgeier was a thorn in the side of Bijan Robinson fantasy teams during Robinson's rookie year after the Falcons took him in the top ten, and he is set to do that again to Jeremiyah Love, although Love is going a full round or more after Robinson - who had a late first round ADP - did in fantasy drafts when he was a rookie. If Love is going to hit this year, it's going to have to be with his passing game and big play contributions, because Allgeier isn't going away, and short yardage running is one of his strengths. |

Bills | RBs more involved in passing game Sun Aug 2, 01:34 PM
Buffalo Bills RBs James Cook, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis have been noticeably more involved in the passing game during the early part of training camp, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Alaina Getzenberg.
| Footballguys view: We have heard a steady drumbeat about James Cook being more involved as a receiver this year after the team hired Pete Carmichael as offensive coordinator. Carmichael was one of the architects of Alvin Kamara's big seasons as a receiving running back in New Orleans. Cook has proven that he can put up RB1 numbers on the strength of his touchdown upside in 2024, and his rushing title winning productivity as a runner last year. We still haven't seen what he can with more work in the passing game, and Cook was drafted by the Bills in the 2022 second round in part because of his receiving skills. It's reasonable to take him in the second half of the first round, and maybe even ahead of Jonathan Taylor. |

Jaguars | Chris Rodriguez more involved in practice Sun Aug 2, 01:15 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) received a few snaps during team drills Sunday, Aug. 2, for the first time since the start of training camp. He is being eased back into practice since he had offseason foot surgery.
| Footballguys view: Bhayshul Tuten has done everything he can to show the Jaguars that he can be a true lead back while Rodriguez has been on the mend from offseason foot surgery. Tuten's ADP should be going up and Rodriguez's down knowing that Rodriguez won't have much of a chance to answer Tuten's performance this summer. The good news for Rodriguez is that head coach Liam Coen has basically said that he knows what Rodriguez can do from their time together at the University of Kentucky. There's room for both backs to be hits at ADP if the Jaguars running game gets on track this year. |

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson, CBs Christian Gonzalez and Marcus Jones and OG Alijah Vera-Tucker were limited in practice and did not participate in team drills Saturday, Aug. 1, in order for them to stay healthy, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like the team is going use load management this summer for some of their starters who aren't exactly old timers, but do have some mileage on their bodies as entrenched starters. This is a good sign that Stevenson is in no danger of losing his starting job to TreVeyon Henderson. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier has been 'has been getting the majority of the carries' with the starters through the first eight days of training camp, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals have been expected to do this even though they spent the #3 overall pick on Jeremiyah Love. It's going to be tough for Love to pay off at ADP unless he is the team's leading passcatcher, which would be a problem for Trey McBride among others. |

Link to story Browns | Quinshon Judkins could be a three down back Fri Jul 31, 02:04 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins could play 'all three downs' in 2026, according to running back coach Duce Staley.
| Footballguys view: Staley has been challenging Judkins to get to a new level this year, and it sounds like Judkins is responding. When the Browns traded Myles Garrett, the chances of Judkins getting some positive game scripts for the running game went down, but if he is on the field in passing situations, he could still be a hit at a modest price of a pick around #50. |
Cowboys | Jaydon Blue sought as receiver Fri Jul 31, 11:49 AM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is wanted to be more involved in the passing game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer. 'I think what we feel like we have in Jaydon when you're playing defenses that are trying to change the math and cheat to really elite receivers, which we have, there's usually a favorable matchup in that regard,' Schottenheimer said.
| Footballguys view: Blue has carried over his excellent spring and should be able to parlay that into a dedicated offensive role as a true change of pace to Javonte Williams and dangerous speed threat in space. He would share work with Phil Mafah or Malik Davis on early downs if Williams goes down, but if he pops in his limited work, he would be the more valuable back to roster if Williams goes down. Blue is moving into the draftable in the late round range of typical drafts. |
