Summary

Rich Dotson and Garret Price sound the alarm on running back scarcity in dynasty leagues. With a weak 2026 rookie class, the hosts urge managers to act now before free agency reshapes the landscape. The message is clear: if you need running back help, the time to trade is before values spike. Breece Hall leads the free agent class as the top prize for contending teams. The hosts highlight Kansas City, Houston, and Washington as ideal landing spots. Kenneth Walker and Travis Etienne round out the top tier, while J.K. Dobbins and Javonte Williams offer intriguing mid-tier value. Rich and Garret break down potential cap casualties including Tony Pollard, Joe Mixon, and James Conner, while highlighting Jonathon Brooks as a sneaky buy low candidate in Carolina. 📊 Rookie Big Boards 📝 Rookie Mock Drafts 📈 Dynasty Rankings 📱 Dynasty Nerds App 🧱 IDP Hub Start Using the Film Room Today!
