A lot was expected of running back Ashton Jeanty in his first year in the NFL in 2025 after the Las Vegas Raiders took the Boise State product with the sixth overall pick in last year's draft. Jeanty didn't quite live up to those expectations in Year 1, but fantasy managers should still view him as a top-five dynasty RB with an upgraded offensive line and under new head coach Klint Kubiak in 2026 and beyond. The 22-year-old rushed for 975 yards and five touchdowns on 266 carries over 17 starts, adding 55 receptions on 73 targets for 346 yards and an additional five touchdowns as a pass-catcher in 2025. Even though he technically didn't live up to his rookie projections as the Raiders' lead back, he still finished as a top-15 fantasy back in half-PPR scoring. Kubiak is expected to lean heavily on Jeanty and the ground game in his first year in Sin City, giving the second-year back plenty of breakout potential as an elite RB1. RotoBaller has Jeanty ranked as the No. 3 dynasty RB at this point in the offseason, behind only the Falcons' Bijan Robinson and the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara appears to be on his way out in New Orleans after the free-agent signing of do-it-all back Travis Etienne Jr. If Kamara is cut or retires this offseason, Devin Neal would be in line for RB2 duties and an expanded role in 2026 in his second year in the NFL. After being taken in the sixth round (184th overall) out of Kansas last year, the 22-year-old appeared in only 10 games (three starts) due to a hamstring injury and finished with 57 rushing attempts for 206 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding 17 receptions for 104 yards through the air. The 5-foot-11, 213-pounder doesn't have a ton of speed or athleticism, but what he lacks in those areas, he makes up for in size and power. Neal was used in a goal-line role down the stretch last year with Kamara sidelined with a knee injury, and he could be a nice complement to Etienne in his sophomore season. His fantasy ceiling isn't incredibly high, but Neal could develop into a valuable between-the-tackles grinder for the Saints in years to come. He's currently ranked as the No. 70 dynasty RB at RotoBaller.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has been an oft-injured disappointment through his first two seasons in the NFL after the Niners took him 31st overall in the 2024 draft. He's played in a total of 20 regular-season games (13 starts), catching 67 of his 99 targets for 928 yards and three touchdowns. Pearsall played in just nine games in 2025, finishing the regular season with 36 receptions for 528 yards and no touchdowns on 53 targets. The 25-year-old is still clearly in the team's long-term plans, but his already lengthy injury history hasn't endeared him to fantasy managers in dynasty leagues through his first two seasons in the league. The 49ers lost let Jauan Jennings walk in free agency and are expected to cut former first-rounder Brandon Aiyuk (knee), but they also added Mike Evans and Christian Kirk in free agency and drafted rookie De'Zhaun Stribling in the second round last month. Pearsall looked to be coming through for fantasy managers with a potential Year 2 breakout last year, recording 281 receiving yards in his first three games before the injury bug hit again. The good news is that Pearsall should be fully healthy this summer. Currently, he's RotoBaller's No. 47-ranked dynasty WR. He's a risk/reward buy-low candidate, but the team's offseason moves at the position prove that even the 49ers are unsure if Pearsall can be relied on.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (shin, groin) showed plenty of big-play ability and had a nose for the end zone in his first year in the NFL in 2025, catching 13 of his 22 targets for 161 yards and five touchdowns, but the 23-year-old played in only eight games (three starts) due to shin and groin injuries. The former fifth-round pick (166th overall) out of Colorado State still isn't 100% healthy during spring workouts as he heads into his sophomore campaign, although he's expected to be ready for training camp at the end of July. Horton possesses good speed (4.41-second 40-yard dash) and above-average route-running skills, but with Rashid Shaheed sticking around as the Seahawks look to defend their Super Bowl championship in 2026, Horton is unlikely to see much volume in an offense that lost coordinator Klint Kubiak. Although veteran Cooper Kupp's prime is well behind him, both he and Jake Bobo will remain involved in some capacity as well. Horton could be a decent buy-low dynasty candidate, but his injury-riddled rookie campaign has his long-term stock on the decline. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 81 fantasy WR.
