Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak hinted that second-year running back Ashton Jeanty could have a much bigger role in his offense in his second year in the league, according to Paul Gutierrez of Raiders.com. "It's important to have a quality second back, but the best player has got to play, and we've got to get them on the field as much as we can. I don't know the play-snap percentage, but you look at [49ers running back] Christian McCaffrey, his play-snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don't want to come off the field," Kubiak said. After he was the sixth overall pick last year out of Boise State, Jeanty's 3.7 yards-per-carry average was a disappointment in his first year in the NFL, even though he led all rookies with 975 rushing yards, 1,321 scrimmage yards, five rushing touchdowns, and five receiving TDs. He was the fifth player in league history with that many scores on the ground and through the air in his rookie campaign. The Raiders want rookie fourth-rounder Mike Washington Jr. to push Jeanty as much as possible, but Jeanty should be as close to a workhorse as it gets. Jeanty finished as the RB13 in half-PPR scoring in 2025 and is currently ranked as the No. 8 redraft RB for the upcoming 2026 season.

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is in the slog of (his rehab, the grind of it," according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. The goal is for Nabers to be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season and to get on the field at some point during training camp this summer. "If he's out there, great," Harbaugh said. Nabers' rehab is taking longer because he tore both his ACL and meniscus early last season, but there's still a chance the talented pass-catcher will be ready for a Week 1 showdown on Sunday Night Football against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. It was recently reported that Nabers also had a clean-up procedure on his surgically-repaired knee to remove scar tissue, adding to the uncertainty about whether Nabers will actually be ready for Week 1 this fall. His status for the start of training camp will be a closely followed storyline, and it's clear from Harbaugh's comments that the Giants are unsure of how active he'll be at the start of camp in late July. The former first-rounder out of LSU has elite WR1 potential in fantasy when he's fully healthy, but the uncertainty around his recovery from a serious knee injury may cause him to fall into the lower WR1 tier.

The Miami Dolphins signed running back Carlos Washington Jr. this week after RB De'Von Achane (undisclosed) missed at least one OTA practice session with an unknown injury, according to C. Isaiah Smalls II of The Miami Herald. It's unclear how serious Achane's injury is at this time, but with over a month until training camp begins in late July, the Dolphins could just be exercising extreme caution with their best offensive player. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Achane's status during the offseason program. The 24-year-old was rewarded with a four-year, $68 million contract extension earlier this month after breaking out with 1,350 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 238 carries in 16 starts in 2025 in his third season in the NFL. Achane also added 67 catches for 488 yards and four touchdowns as a pass-catcher and led the NFL with 5.7 yards per carry. Efficiency in the Dolphins' rebuilding offense could remain an issue for Achane's fantasy football ceiling, but he should continue to make up for it with sheer volume. Consider him a top-10 fantasy RB going into his fourth NFL campaign, as long as he's healthy.

So far in Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's young NFL career, his best showing came in his first year in the league in 2023, when he caught 73 of 91 targets for 673 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (11 starts). Since then, the 26-year-old's numbers have been down thanks to knee and hamstring injuries. The former 25th overall pick out of Utah in 2023 started in only four games in 2025 and played a career-low 38% of his available offensive snaps. Despite not electing to have offseason knee surgery, Kincaid said "it's probably the best I've felt in my career at this point in the year," according to Tim Graham of The Athletic. In just 12 games played during the regular season last year, Kincaid had a career-high five touchdowns and added two more in two postseason contests. He dropped just one pass all year. So far this offseason, Kincaid has come back stronger and healthier, and he has an opportunity to cement himself as one of the top TEs in the league if he can play a full season. Because of his limited role and injury issues the last two seasons, Kincaid should be a low-end TE1 target in fantasy drafts with upside for more.
