Cardinals | Arizona trades Corey Kiner Sat Aug 29, 01:25 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Corey Kiner was traded to the New England Patriots Saturday, Aug. 29, in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round draft choice.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals' backfield is packed when everyone is healthy, so getting something for Kiner makes sense. They have Jeremiyah Love as their top back (when healthy) with veterans Tyler Allgeier and James Conner behind him. Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said it's "too early to tell" if Conner (ankle) will be able to play in Week 1. Love is dealing with an ankle injury too, so Allgeier may be in line for a larger-than-expected role to begin the regular season. |
Patriots | Corey Kiner joining New England Sat Aug 29, 01:22 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Corey Kiner was acquired by the New England Patriots Saturday, Aug. 29, in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round draft choice.
| Footballguys view: Kiner joins the Patriots as the no.3 back behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. Undrafted out of Cincinnati in 2025, Kiner is a compact runner who thrives between the tackles because of his contact balance. He may not be a three-down player (receiving ability and pass protection are a work in progress), but in super deep dynasty leagues, we'll continue to monitor his pro career. |
Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. has stinger Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
Updating previous reports, New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (neck, shoulder) sustained a stinger during the preseason game against the New York Jets Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Tracy was evaluated and then cleared for a concussion. Before exiting, Tracy had 37 yards and a touchdown on four carries. Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris and Devin Singletary along with Tracy make up the Giants' backfield, so Tracy would have to see injuries strike above him on the depth chart to have a fantasy relevant role. |
Panthers | Trevor Etienne battling ankle injury Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Trevor Etienne (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the preseason game against the Houston Texans Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: We'll see how long this ankle injury will bother Etienne, a player who has gotten some starter's snaps earlier this month in training camp. He's third on the depth chart behind Jonathon Brooks and Chuba Hubbard, but Eteinne has the skill set to be a three-down back. |

49ers | Kaelon Black rushes for 28 yards Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black rushed four times for 28 yards during the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Black has done everything he could when he was healthy this summer to prove that he is a capable backup to Christian McCaffrey. He's the back to target late if you want to hedge McCaffrey's recent injury history. |
Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. keeps rolling Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. rushed eight times for 49 yards during the preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The possibility of Washington forcing a running back by committee in Las Vegas is upon us even though Ashton Jeanty could play in Week 1. Washington is a good bench stash to see what happens as he has earned his playing time with outstanding play in the preseason that showed off patience, vision, and footwork to go with his size and speed. |
Chiefs | Kenneth Walker III impressing as receiver Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III has impressed head coach Andy Reid with his route-running ability and his ability to separate from linebackers in man-to-man coverage.
| Footballguys view: Walker did have an injury scare when he had swelling related to his cleat, but he is still a high ceiling second round pick with the possibility of being the rare power back who is also featured in the passing game. He just needs to stay healthy, which was a problem most years when he was in Seattle. |
Jaguars | LeQuint Allen expected to avoid IR Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) is sidelined because of a soft tissue injury, but there is no indication that he will need to start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: Whatever added upside there will be for Bhayshul Tuten or Chris Rodriguez (it's not clear if either or both would help replace Allen early in the season) will be short-lived. |
Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson on track for opener Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is expected to be ready for Week 1 despite suffering an ankle injury earlier this week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Rhamondre Stevenson should be going well ahead of Henderson, who hasn't moved up from the place he ended the season at on the depth chart. This injury scare isn't a big reason why, but it is a reminder. |
Raiders | Mike Washington should have solid role Fri Aug 28, 04:15 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. is expected to be used quite a bit on offense this season after showing he can handle an extended workload during the preseason, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden.
Link to story Raiders | Ashton Jeanty is 'still on the mend' Fri Aug 28, 01:52 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is 'still on the mend,' according to head coach Klint Kubiak.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty could be back for Week 1, but he is not a sure thing. His ADP needs to drop well into the second round to consider him now that the injury seal is broken and backup Mike Washington Jr. looks like he's good enough to force his way into a larger share of the workload than expected. |
Broncos | Jonah Coleman could get 'plenty of work' Fri Aug 28, 01:08 PM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could see 'plenty of work' in 2026, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold.
| Footballguys view: Coleman should be a priority running back bench pick. He has JK Dobbins injury upside, and he has done enough to get into the running back rotation from day one. His emergence is making Dobbins and Harvey easier to skip going ahead of the rookie. |
Giants | Najee Harris expected to play in preseason finale Fri Aug 28, 01:04 PM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris is expected to play in the team's final preseason game on Friday, Aug. 28. He has not played since tearing his Achilles in Week 3 of the 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: Harris needs to prove that he is game shape, so this isn't necessarily a sign that he is on the margins of the depth chart. On the other hand, if he looks good, Harris could force a committee with Cam Skattebo right away, given his experience and durability. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs not being released Fri Aug 28, 12:08 AM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs will not be released by the team following two misdemeanor charges being filed against him on Thursday, Aug. 27, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky.
| Footballguys view: This is at least the absence of the worst news for Jacobs fantasy stock, but it's not reassuring. He is practicing after missing time this summer because of a groin injury. MarShawn Lloyd has stayed healthy and looked like more than a backup and the offensive line is a work in progress, so Jacobs is still a questionable pick in the fourth round. |

Saints | Devin Neal could be IR candidate Thu Aug 27, 04:49 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) could start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list after recently suffering a hamstring injury, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
| Footballguys view: Neal is a talented reserve back, but injuries have prevented him from playing up to his potential. He needs to get healthy, stay healthy, and show why the team has him as a developmental back behind guys like Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo may stay on PUP list Thu Aug 27, 04:34 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) is a candidate to start the regular season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner.
| Footballguys view: It makes sense for a player who has missed all of training camp with a pectoral injury. The PUP list would require Guerendo to miss the first four weeks of the regular season. After that, the team could open up a practice window for him to see if he can be activated or put on season-ending Injured Reserve. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet could avoid PUP list Thu Aug 27, 04:30 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) may be able to avoid the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list if the team believes he will be able to play in a game before Week 5, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Brady Henderson.
| Footballguys view: Any player on the PUP list must miss the first four weeks of the regular season. It sounds like Charbonnet might be ready to get on the field before then. Now, whether or not he's 100 percent healthy at the time is a different story. The Seahawks open the season with Jadarian Price and George Holani as their top backs. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs formally charged Thu Aug 27, 03:35 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs has been formally charged with two misdemeanors related to his May arrest. The NFL has been monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review, according to Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: The NFL could end up suspending Jacobs once their investigation is concluded. That means Fantasy GMs need to consider Marshawn Lloyd late in drafts. Jacobs has a current ADP of RB16 (5.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. Lloyd is a talented back who has flashed during training camp and the preseason. If he stays healthy (a problem so far in Lloyd's pro career), he could be the lead back for the Packers if/when Jacobs has to miss time. |

Jaguars | Work to do for Bhayshul Tuten? Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten needs to pay faster and trust his reads, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'We've just got to continue to work on his tracks, reading his keys, and just go play,' Coen said. 'Not overthinking where the ball maybe should go or could go, and just stick your foot in the ground and get north because when he does that, and he gets his shoulders square and downhill, it can be impressive.'
| Footballguys view: Coen has previously said the team would use an RBBC approach this season with Tuten and RB Chris Rodriguez. Tuten is going off the board at RB28 (6.05) and Rodriguez at RB46 (13.09) in 12-team PPR formats. A second-year back, Tuten has incredible upside as a ball-carrier because of his home-run speed. It sounds like Coen believes the young back has some important things to work on in order to get the most out of his potential. |
