Fantasy Football: Jaguars, Seahawks backfield battles, Jonathon Brooks' role among biggest RB questions for NFL training camps - Yahoo Sports

What the report says

Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Justin Boone previewed several running back competitions as NFL training camps opened the week of July 23, 2026, framing them as key questions for fantasy football drafts. The article focused on uncertain depth charts in Jacksonville, Seattle, Pittsburgh and Washington, with the broader series also flagging Jonathon Brooks’ role among the running back topics to monitor.

In Jacksonville, Boone identified Bhayshul Tuten as the most intriguing fantasy option while Chris Rodriguez Jr. works back from offseason foot surgery. He noted Jaguars coach Liam Coen’s public praise for Tuten’s spring and argued that Rodriguez’s limited receiving profile and LeQuint Allen Jr.’s different skill set could leave Tuten with the clearest path to a bigger role if he builds on a rookie season that included seven touchdowns.

Seattle’s backfield was presented as another major camp storyline after Kenneth Walker III left in free agency and Zach Charbonnet began recovering from a January ACL tear. Boone wrote that first-round rookie Jadarian Price appears positioned for the lead role, though George Holani and Emanuel Wilson could keep the Seahawks in a committee. He cited Seattle’s run-heavy success last season and Price’s fantasy draft cost, listed as RB26 in the sixth round, as reasons managers may watch his preseason closely.

Boone also described Pittsburgh’s Jaylen Warren-Rico Dowdle pairing as difficult to project, with both potentially capped by a shared workload. In Washington, he said Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White and rookie Kaytron Allen each have plausible paths to touches, making the Commanders’ late-round backs speculative fantasy targets. The analysis matters because training-camp usage can quickly reshape draft values before Week 1.
