49ers | Kaelon Black leaves practice Sun Aug 2, 04:17 PM
San Francisco 49ers BR Kaelon Black (undisclosed) did not finish practice Saturday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: Jordan James is out for a few weeks with a broken rib and Isaac Guerendo is on the PUP while he recovers from a torn pec he suffered lifting weights about three months ago. The return of Deebo Samuel helps the backfield depth to an extent, but we could see the 49ers sign a running back if this is an issue that will cause Black to miss practice time. They hosted Khalil Herbert, Raheem Blackshear, and Owen Wright for a workout earlier this week. We will be monitoring this situation closely given the importance of Christian McCaffrey's backup in fantasy leagues. |

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. |
Vikings | Demond Claiborne limited Saturday Sun Aug 2, 01:48 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Demond Claiborne (undisclosed) did not participate in team drills during practice Saturday, Aug. 1.

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. |

Patriots | Four NE players limited in practice Saturday Sat Aug 1, 11:13 AM
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. |

Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier operating as starter Fri Jul 31, 05:28 PM
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. |

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. |

Link to story 49ers | Jordan James suffers rib fracture Wed Jul 29, 02:35 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James suffered a rib fracture in practice on Monday, July 29. There is no timeline for his return.
| Footballguys view: Even without a specific timetable, it's safe to assume James will miss some time. He was competing with rookie Kaelon Black for San Francisco's RB2 job behind Christian McCaffrey. While recent reports suggested James had the lead in the competition, NBCSports.com's Jennifer Lee Chan told us earlier this month that she expects Black to make a push in August. At the very least, James' injury opens the door to more opportunities for the rookie to prove himself. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet a "potential close call" for Week 1 Tue Jul 28, 04:10 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has no set timetable for a return, but the Seahawks are 'going to be smart with him', in the opinion of Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer on Tuesday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: Breer went on to suggest that Charbonnet's readiness for Week 1 looms as "a potential close call" -- and the Seahawks are going to be smart with him, in the hopes that they get his best when it matters most. As such, first-round pick Jadarian Price is a pivotal figure. Even with all the talk about Charbonnet being ahead of schedule, his surgery didn't take place until February. The usual nine-month turnaround indicates a November return. We'll continue watching for more, but the Week 1 talk seems overly optimistic. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane ready to go Tue Jul 28, 10:54 AM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been fully cleared for training camp, according to head coach Jeff Hafley. Achane is expected to be a full participant in practice.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season, and the expectation was that he would be ready for training camp. 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. Achane has been a high-end producer since his rookie season, but with the Dolphins starting a rebuild, 2026 will be the biggest challenge of his career. The uncertainty due to the changing circumstances has Achane falling into Round 2. |
Seahawks | Jadarian Price making the most of opportunities Tue Jul 28, 12:42 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price is reportedly making the most of the opportunity before him and has impressed in the early days of training camp, in the opinion of The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta on Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: According to Condotta, what has stood out the most is Price's pass-catching and apparent knack for understanding pass protection. Those were two things he wasn't asked to do a lot at Notre Dame. Those were cited as concerns by many analysts when the Seahawks selected him 32nd overall. Head coach Mike Macdonald suggested that Price has a chance to become an immediate starter with Ken Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet still sidelined while recovering from an ACL injury suffered in January. Contributing to the passing game would open the door to that. |
Seahawks | Seattle plans to waive Kenny McIntosh Tue Jul 28, 12:32 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh will be waived by the Seahawks, according to a source on Monday, July 27.

Packers | Chris Brooks starts camp on NFI list Tue Jul 28, 12:31 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Chris Brooks (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, July 27.
| Footballguys view: The NFI list is for players who are injured away from team activities. Brooks was likely injured at some point outside the team's offseason workout program, reported among the team's injured players on Monday and failed his physical. Unless he can come off the NFI list before Wednesday morning, Brooks will miss the team's first training camp practice. Brooks signed a two-year deal to return to the Packers this offseason. A versatile running back who can catch and block, Brooks is likely to be a top backup behind Josh Jacobs in 2026. |

Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier, Jeremiyah Love share first-team reps Mon Jul 27, 02:15 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love and RB Tyler Allgeier shared snaps with the first-team offense during practice Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier got the first rep, and the two alternated after that. While Love getting first-team snaps isn't a surprise, it's interesting to see the day after OC Nathaniel Hackett answered a question about Love by saying, "I mean, he's definitely a rookie." James Conner and Trey Benson are also practicing, so these first-team reps matter. We'll continue to monitor. |

Raiders | Miles Sanders works out in Vegas Mon Jul 27, 01:06 PM
Free-agent RB Miles Sanders (Cowboys) worked out for the Las Vegas Raiders Monday, July 27, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Sanders missed most of last season with a knee injury, but he's trying to get back on the field this year. Sanders played four games for the Cowboys last year before being shut down. He had 20 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown, along with eight catches for 30 yards. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Sanders, who also played for the Panthers and Eagles, has been fully cleared after having surgery to address his injured knee. The Raiders have Ashton Jeanty at the top of a running back group that also includes 2026 fourth-rounder Mike Washington and Dylan Laube. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price being fast played in passing game Mon Jul 27, 09:36 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price has been used a lot in the passing game in the first few days of training camp. They've put him on the first-team, second-team and third-team offenses in 11-on-11 drills.
| Footballguys view: Price is in line for a major opportunity to replace Ken Walker III. GM John Schneider drafted Price, hoping that possibility would eventually come to fruition. How quickly the vision becomes reality depends on Price's early effectiveness. As USA Today notes, Walker ranked fourth on the Seahawks in receptions last season. There's a clear need to replace his production in the passing game. That new OC Brian Fleury is giving Price, who totaled just 15 receptions in three seasons at Notre Dame, the reps necessary to get up to speed is a good sign. We'll be watching for more. |
49ers | Jordan James eyeing backup role Mon Jul 27, 12:36 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Jordan James appears to be 'next up' behind RB Christian McCaffrey, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Rookie Kaelon Black and Patrick Taylor Jr. are also in the mix. And while NBCSports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan told us last week that she expects Black to move ahead of James this summer, Wagoner's reporting makes it clear that hasn't happened yet. But again, early, and we'll see how that continues to play out. |
Rams | Blake Corum will be 'big factor' in offense this season Sun Jul 26, 01:41 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum will be a 'big factor' this season for the Rams offense, according to HC Sean McVay on Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: There has been buzz that Corum will split early down work more evenly with Kyren Williams this offseason. He could have more standalone value, especially with the Rams more heavily favored against inferior competition after they acquired Myles Garrett, but Williams is still going to get more passing down work and be the more valuable fantasy running back. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo not cleared yet Sat Jul 25, 02:28 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: Guerendo tore his pec lifting weights earlier this spring, and the plan was for him to be ready somewhere near the end of training camp. On the PUP list, Guerendo can be activated at any time during camp/preseason. When healthy, Guerendo is competing for a backup spot behind starting RB Christian McCaffrey with guys like Jordan James and Kaelon Black. |
Panthers | Jonathon Brooks showing burst Sat Jul 25, 01:20 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) 'looks fast' during practice, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'He looks like the guy that I remember, and I'm really excited for that,' Canales said.
| Footballguys view: Brooks has been getting first-team reps in training camp, and there have been no limitations on him as he comes back from another knee injury. Most of his pro career has been missed due to ACL injuries, but expect a healthy Brooks to push for the eventual starting job in Carolina. At the beginning of the season, we expect Brooks and Chuba Hubbard to work in a RBBC. Brooks has a current ADP of RB38 (8.12) in 12-team PPR leagues. Injury risk is already cooked into his draft position, and clearly the upside is there for Brooks to do more. |
Cardinals | James Conner practices Fri Jul 24, 05:29 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) practiced Thursday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: It is important that Conner practices so that he can retain trade value for the Cardinals, who have four viable running backs, and potential fantasy value as a target for any team that needs a veteran running back to bolster their depth chart or replace a starter who goes down with a practice or preseason injury. |

Link to story Panthers | Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' Thu Jul 23, 03:10 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks will have 'no limitations' returning to practice.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Panthers here. Brooks is set to be in an RBBC with Chubba Hubbard, and reports from the spring indicate Brooks has looked incredible. He's going off the board near the turn at the end of the 8th round (RB39), and Brooks certainly provides upside to do more if he can stay healthy. |
Jaguars | Liam Coen expecting 'a big year' from Bhayshul Tuten Thu Jul 23, 01:21 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is expected to have 'a big year' from his head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: Tuten steps into the lead role for the Jaguars with Travis Etienne gone. He's got a ton of speed and can eat up yards in a hurry. Tuten should win the starting job, but Chris Rodriguez will split time with him. We like Tuten as an RB3 with upside for Fantasy GMs. He has a current ADP around the turn near the end of the sixth round of standard formats. |
NFL | Joe Mixon done? Thu Jul 23, 09:55 AM
Free-agent RB Joe Mixon (Texans) has told former teammates his career is likely over due to his foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Mixon missed all of 2025 with this foot injury. He had surgery last year, and reports indicate the injury required another surgery. Mixon is on the mend, but he might never be able to be cleared to play again. He might be cleared to play later this season, but it seems like a long shot to see him ever suit up in the NFL again. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet placed on PUP list Wed Jul 22, 01:27 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was placed on the PUP list on Wednesday, July 22, ahead of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet can be activated from the list at any point in camp, but the timing of the injury means that it will likely be some time before the team will be moving him to the active roster. Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. First-round pick Jadarian Price, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones, and Jacardia Wright are the healthy options at running back in Seattle. |
