New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is still the RB2 in New York heading into the 2026 season, but the 22-year-old's dynasty stock took a hit on Friday when it was announced that the Jets signed Breece Hall to a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension that makes him the third-highest-paid RB in the league. Allen suffered an MCL injury in 2025 in his second season in the NFL that limited him to four games played. He finished with just 18 carries for 76 yards and one touchdown while catching two passes for 17 yards after he rushed for 334 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (two starts) in his rookie season in 2024. The former fourth-rounder (134th overall) in 2024 out of the University of Wisconsin could still have plenty of fantasy value if Hall were to go down with an injury, but now that Hall is under contract with the Jets for another three seasons beyond 2026, his upside in dynasty leagues will be tempered.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's passing numbers took a slight dip in 2025, but he still finished as the QB1 in fantasy scoring for the fourth time in the last six seasons, thanks to his rushing prowess. Allen is the only QB with 500-plus rushing yards in each of the last five years. He's on another level in the rushing department, which gives him an incredibly high floor. He threw for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while adding 112 rushing attempts for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. The 29-year-old might not have had the passing numbers that many were hoping for, but he did have a career-high best 69.3% completion percentage in an offense that lacked the deep threat through the air. Allen isn't going to be the most prolific passer in the league, but it certainly helps that he has a new weapon in 2026 in receiver DJ Moore, whom the Bills acquired this offseason from the Chicago Bears.

Quarterback Kyler Murray's dynasty stock reached an all-time low last year when he didn't play beyond Week 5 with the Arizona Cardinals due to a foot sprain. It was the beginning of the end of his time in Arizona after the Cardinals took him with the first overall pick in 2019 out of Oklahoma. Despite playing in a career-low five games and finishing as the QB38 last year, the 28-year-old's dynasty stock is surging back upwards after he was released and signed a one-year, $36.8 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings. He will take over as the starter in Minnesota over J.J. McCarthy, and although Murray hasn't played a full season in four of the last five years due to injuries, he's a rising dynasty target because of his landing spot. Murray will have arguably one of the best receiving corps to work with in Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings, not to mention tight end T.J. Hockenson. Murray should be asked to push the ball more down the field, and his high-end rushing upside will give him QB1 upside if he can stay on the field. He's in the best situation of his career. There is risk, but Murray has suddenly climbed up to the QB20 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings going into 2026.

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White is being valued as a low-end RB4 in consensus dynasty rankings despite arguably landing in his best situation since finishing as the RB7 in 2023. For the past two seasons in Tampa, White has split the backfield with another capable pass-catcher in Bucky Irving, but upon signing a one-year deal with the Commanders, the dedicated receiving role looks to be entirely his. None of the other backs currently on the roster topped 26 receptions in 2025, and on his way to becoming Penn State's all-time leading rusher, sixth-round pick Kaytron Allen never recorded more than 18 catches in a season. White's 40 receptions in 2025 marked a career low after averaging 55 catches across his first three seasons. He is RotoBaller's dynasty RB35, despite exceeding that finish in each of the last three years, making him a low-cost trade target who should provide a safe weekly floor through target volume alone, while still having a chance to carve out a larger role in a below-average running back room.
