Latest RB Updates

  • The Dolphins continue to maintain that De’Von Achane (calf) will be ready to play in Week 1. While that’s likely to occur, it’s at least fair to question whether he’ll be 100% healthy for that game. With Jaylen Wright expected to miss the start of the season after undergoing leg surgery recently, Ollie Gordon II becomes an intriguing name in the late rounds. Gordon was impressive in the preseason and offers a bigger body to pair with Achane, which could result in some goal-line carries for the rookie. There’s also a chance that Achane doesn’t suit up for the opener, vaulting Gordon into the starting lineup.

  • All the signs have been pointing towards Joe Mixon missing time at the start of the season with his foot injury, which is why he’s continuously dropped down my rankings over the last month or so. Now, it’s official: Mixon will be sidelined for at least the first four games. I already had him ranked in an area that would have saved you from drafting him, but I’ve moved him even lower with this news. The problem is, there isn’t a clear-cut back to assume all the work in Houston. Nick Chubb is well past his prime and would likely be an early-down and goal-line back only. Dameon Pierce will need to leapfrog Chubb on the depth chart and, even then, he’s also limited as a receiving option. Meanwhile, Woody Marks is more of a passing-down back, who may split work with veteran Dare Ogunbowale early on. It’s even possible the team could bring someone else after cuts or through a trade. When you also consider the uncertainty around the Texans’ offensive line, this is a backfield I’d prefer not to rely on for fantasy — outside of desperation starts.

Liverpool’s deal for Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer amounted to a total package with an initial fee of £100 million and additional £16 million in potential add-ons. Isak will undergo a medical on Monday to complete the deal ahead of the Sept. 1 transfer deadline date.It continues to be a summer splurge for Liverpool, who won the Premier League last season.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling reveals why he chose to sign with 49ers over reuniting with Aaron Rodgers on Steelers

Marquez Valdes-Scantling has confirmed prior reports that he could have signed with either the Steelers or the 49ers after he didn't make the Seahawks' initial 53-man roster. The 30-year-old wideout ultimately chose to join the 49ers' practice squad instead of going to Pittsburgh, where he would have reunited with his former Packers teammate, Aaron Rodgers. Valdes-Scantling said his decision to go to San Francisco wasn't personal. It was just business. "Obviously, I have a good relationship with Aaron Rodgers over there, and he wanted me back over there," Valdes-Scantling said. "So, it was a toss-up, 50/50. I had to weigh my options and see which one I wanted to do, which was going to be better for my career at this point, and I was excited about it."Specifically, the 49ers' offensive system and current situation at receiver outweighed the opportunity to reunite […]

WATCH: Miami’s CJ Daniels makes insane one-handed catch to turn potential Carson Beck interception into score

ESPN We have an early contender for college football's best catch of the 2025 season. The jaw-dropping grab was courtesy of Miami Hurricanes wideout CJ Daniels, whose one-handed, 20-yard touchdown reception gave Miami a 14-7 halftime lead over Notre Dame. The score was tied before Daniels made an incredible play on a pass that could have been picked off by Notre Dame safety Adon Shuler. But instead of a big play for the Irish, it was a momentum-changing touchdown for Daniels, a well-traveled senior who spent his first four seasons in college at Liberty before playing for LSU last fall. The score also featured a gusty throw from Miami quarterback Carson Beck, who was under heavy duress before heaving his pass toward the end zone. Beck, who spent his first four seasons at Georgia, opened his Miami career with a pair of […]

Kalen DeBoer buyout: What it would cost Alabama to move on from embattled coach after Florida State loss

Getty Images Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer has one of college football's largest buyouts this season at approximately $63 million following a multi-year contract he signed in January 2024 to succeed Nick Saban with the Crimson Tide.No. 8 Bama's 31-17 loss to Florida State on Saturday was DeBoer's third in his last four games with the Crimson Tide and his fifth overall only 14 games into his tenure. DeBoer was hired as Saban's successor after a 25-3 run at Washington, highlighted by a Pac-12 title and berth in the national championship game two seasons ago against Michigan. Kalen DeBoer not up to standard of following Nick Saban: 'You have to be a different breed to survive' John Talty If DeBoer is fired "without cause," he would earn 90% of his remaining deal in monthly installments through the end of his contract term. He's […]
