Ripped a BBM this afternoon alongside the man of the hour Mr. @​HaydenWinks !

Rachaad White at a 13th-round price: "A legit top-10 pass-protecting, third-and-10 / two-minute-drill back." #Commanders #FantasyFootball White has become Jakob's No. 1 sleeper for the 2026 season. Even in a busy Washington backfield, do you believe in White's upside? ➡️ <https://youtu.be/y5TDS2QY218> @​JakobSanderson

And while we're at it, some of my other favorite major longshots to finish as a WR1 (top 12), currently outside the top 36 in positional ADP: Jayden Reed (WR40) Chris Godwin (WR41) --- KC Concepcion (WR52)

Historical context: Harris was injured in Week 3 of 2025, after which Hampton became the clearcut RB1. Mentioned to clarify that Hampton's 2025 dominance was partly injury-dependent.

Mentioned as Chargers RB with work-ethic concerns; described as having 'night and day difference' improvement from prior year but still viewed skeptically. Unique speed profile noted; expected to get touches in 2026 if Williams workload reduced, but injury status uncertain ('healthy thing is a big if').

Mentioned as late-round alternative to Vidal with expected ADP rise by August; no detailed analysis provided.

Mentioned as alternative late-round RB with potentially better ADP value than Vidal; no detailed discussion of his profile or role.

Comments express skepticism about Mitchell hype; described as change-of-pace/homerun-hitter role (5-10 touches per game, receiving focus) rather than bellcow. Comparisons to Achane (not Mostert) cited; contract analysis shows ~$1.25m base salary (vet minimum guarantee), suggesting RB3 role. Best ball player only; redraft avoidance recommended. One comment notes McDaniel's contract doesn't indicate Mitchell was brought in as RB3, but consensus suggests limited snap share and unpredictable spike weeks.

Original post: late-round flier with upside if Hampton or Mitchell get injured; not valuable in redraft. Comments split: some view him as true RB2 with 15+ touches if Hampton goes down and earned backup/passing-down duties after strong 2025 performance behind poor O-line; others call him handcuff-only with capped ceiling due to committee. Consensus: best ball player, late-round dart throw; redraft avoidance recommended.

An AFC executive on Browns RB Quinshon Judkins: “He runs incredibly hard, faster in the open field than you’d think. I think he’s going to have a big year.”

Every Jayden Daniels scramble for a first down in 2025

.@​BenjaminSolak thinks Seahawks TE AJ Barner could have a breakout season: “We somehow made it through the entire Seahawks Super Bowl run without calling Barner what he is: a rising top-10 TE.” “Barner really is a discount George Kittle.”

.@​BenjaminSolak lists Luther Burden as a breakout candidate: “With DJ Moore gone and Odunze working back from a foot injury, the door is wide open for Burden to grab more targets… The sky is the limit here.”

.@​BenjaminSolak lists Gunnar Helm as a potential breakout candidate: “If he's an A-plus in any one trait, it's his ability to track and adjust to the football. He makes the sort of tough downfield catches a TE needs to make in order to become an explosive-play receiver.”

.@​BenjaminSolak lists Josh Downs as a potential breakout candidate for 2026: “Downs shares Smith-Njigba's fluidity as a route runner, which should open him up for deeper targets as coach Shane Steichen manufactures free releases for him off the line.”

America won back-to-back World Wars for our freedom and you people want me to draft Chuba Hubbard in Round 7??? Can't do it.

ADP top-36 running backs in 2026 fantasy football drafts and where Vegas season-long game lines have their respective offenses ranked in scoring. Example: Jahmyr Gibbs is the RB1 in current ADP, Vegas implied lines have the Lions as the NFL's No. 1 scoring offense.

Every Drake Maye scramble for a first down in 2025

Angel on shoulder: Offense will suck. Don't dismiss the competition. Future is bright, but no reason to go crazy drafting the guy in 2026 Devil on shoulder: Jeremiyah Love is really, REALLY good at football. Do you hate drafting players that are really, REALLY good at football?

QB Leaders in Explosive Run Rate [2024-2025] 1. Baker Mayfield (11.3%) 2. Justin Herbert (11.2%) 3. Drake Maye (10.8%) 4. Lamar Jackson (10.2%) 5. Josh Allen (9.3%) 6. Kyler Murray (9.3%) 7. Jaxson Dart (9.3%)

Every Josh Allen scramble for a first down in 2025

Baker Mayfield had the highest first down conversion rate as a scrambler in 2025, and it was not close.

Baker Mayfield on scrambles in 2025: 377 yards (QB5) 26 first downs (QB2) 6.5 yards after contact per rush (QB1) 44% avoided tackle rate (QB1)

Saquon Barkley's health and effectiveness are central to the Eagles' offensive ceiling in 2026; if the offensive line stays healthy and Barkley runs the ball effectively, the Eagles offense with Jalen Hurts could return to being one of the best teams in the NFC, suggesting significant upside tied to his workload and production.

Jalen Hurts faces a critical 2026 season under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and the Shanahan-McVay offensive tree system, mandated by Eagles ownership and Howie Roseman as the modern NFL blueprint for success. Garofalo notes that if Hurts fails to prove he's a good fit for this system, the Eagles may make hard decisions at the quarterback spot; however, if the offensive line stays healthy and Saquon Barkley runs effectively, the Eagles offense could return to being one of the NFC's best.

Chris Godwin is positioned to benefit from the Buccaneers' offensive reset following Mike Evans' departure; the team is clearing things up for Godwin and Emeka Buke to get the offense going, suggesting increased opportunity and role expansion in the revamped passing attack.

Baker Mayfield enters a contract year in 2026 with the Buccaneers after a poor 2025 season; the team has made significant offensive changes including the departure of Mike Evans and is banking on Chris Godwin and Emeka Buke to revitalize the offense. Garofalo notes that while Mayfield's contract situation is make-or-break, a deal extension is likely to be negotiated before or early in training camp despite current distance between parties.

Caleb Williams sent his jersey to the Pope following a game, demonstrating his profile and reach as the Bears' franchise quarterback. The gesture is framed as a positive sign for the Bears' 2025 season.

Ronnie Stanley is one of the aging key pieces the Ravens are relying on in 2025, alongside Derrick Henry and Mark Andrews. His continued elite play is critical to protecting Lamar Jackson, but age is a factor as the Ravens face a critical championship window.

Mark Andrews is one of the key aging pieces the Ravens are relying on in 2025, alongside Ronnie Stanley and Derrick Henry. His continued production is essential to the team's championship window, but age is a consideration as the Ravens face a critical year.

Derrick Henry is one of the aging key pieces the Ravens are relying on in 2025, alongside Ronnie Stanley and Mark Andrews. His presence is critical to the team's window, but age is a factor as the Ravens attempt to win now with their coaching change.

With Mike Evans departed, Chris Godwin is positioned to get more opportunities in the Buccaneers' 2025 offense. The team is banking on Godwin and Emeka Buke to carry the passing game as they clear things up offensively.

Baker Mayfield did not play well in 2024 and faces a make-or-break contract year in 2025 with the Buccaneers. The team lost Mike Evans and is banking on Chris Godwin and Emeka Buke to carry the offense, but there has been significant change. Mayfield's performance is critical to Tampa Bay's divisional prospects, though a contract extension may be worked out before or early in training camp.

The Bills acquired DJ Moore as a high-volume receiver target that they badly needed for Josh Allen, who puts the ball in the air at an elite rate. Moore is positioned to be a high-volume guy in the Bills' passing attack.

Josh Allen maintains a huge window to win a Super Bowl with the Bills, but the team lost pole position in the AFC East to New England last year as other teams caught up. With a coaching change and new stadium, the Bills have motivation to reclaim the division, though Allen's elite talent should not be wasted like a Charles Barkley-type career without a ring. The team feels good about DJ Moore as a high-volume receiver to support Allen's high-volume passing approach.

Zay Flowers may be asked to do a lot in the Ravens' 2025 offense under new coordinator Declan Doyle, who has impressed Lamar Jackson with his spring scheme. Flowers' role is expected to expand as the team leans on its passing game with an aging supporting cast.

Lamar Jackson faces a critical window in 2025 with the Ravens' coaching change. The team relies on aging key pieces including Ronnie Stanley, Derrick Henry, and Mark Andrews, creating urgency to win now. New defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is regarded as a defensive wizard who can extract value from the aging defense. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, a former head-coaching candidate, has impressed Lamar with his spring scheme, but the quarterback will need to carry significant load.

The Bengals face a make-or-break 2025 season with Burrow at quarterback. Despite scoring 35 points per game last year, they lost consistently due to a weak defense that allowed nearly 30 points per game. With new defensive additions including Dexter Lawrence, Boye Mafe, Jonathan Allen, and Brian Cook, the Bengals have a legitimate window if the defense becomes even mediocre. Burrow has stated the window is not closed as long as he remains the quarterback, but the timing is critical now.

Hendrickson is expected to be ready by training camp and arrives in Baltimore with four consecutive seasons of 13+ sacks, including 17.5 sacks two years ago in 2024. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and Jesse Minter emphasize his technical prowess—his snap recognition, tackle reading, and finishing ability—as key to bolstering a Ravens pass rush that ranked 30th with 30 sacks last season. The Ravens aim to use Hendrickson to restore their defense to championship form.

Ravens edge rusher acquired to address the team's pass rush needs. Hendrickson played just seven games last year due to a core injury but is now healthy and has been present at OTAs; he will be ready by training camp. He has four seasons with 13+ sacks, including 17.5 sacks two years ago in 2024. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and head coach Jesse Minter praise his technical play, including how he reads tackles and snap counts at the line of scrimmage. He is a finisher who generates sacks. The Ravens tied for 28th in sacks with 30 last season, so Hendrickson is expected to improve their pass rush.

Panthers edge rusher signed to a four-year, $112 million contract after being traded from the Eagles, where he became the team's leading pressure generator after his arrival. He must now be more productive for Carolina, which won the division last year. The Panthers were really bad on third down and tied for 28th in sacks with 30 last season, so Phillips is expected to help them get off the field on money downs and improve their pass rush. He has had a history of injuries, so staying healthy is critical. He is expected to be the guy in Carolina and has been vocal in meetings and on the field as a leader. The contract dictates that he must perform and prove why he earned the deal.

Browns defensive lineman is a defensive rookie of the year candidate and part of a young, talented defensive line alongside Jared Burse and Mason Graham. The scheme will change under new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg, offering variable matchup looks. Swesinger is a young, cost-controlled player with significant upside as the Browns rebuild their defense.

Graham is a young, cost-controlled player with significant upside as the Browns rebuild their defense.

Rams defensive lineman had 12 sacks and 29 QB hits last season and is expected to benefit from Miles Garrett's arrival. With Garrett demanding double and triple teams, Young will have more opportunities to rush the passer and generate pressure. The Rams' defensive line, which already includes Braden Fisk and Puna Ford, will become more dominant once they figure out how to rush together with Garrett.

Rams defensive lineman expected to benefit from Miles Garrett's arrival. With Garrett demanding double and triple teams, Fisk will have more opportunities to rush the passer and generate pressure. The Rams' defensive line, which already includes Byron Young (12 sacks, 29 QB hits last season) and Puna Ford, will become more dominant once they figure out how to rush together with Garrett.

Rams edge rusher acquired via trade from Cleveland; 23-sack player expected to elevate the defense to Super Bowl caliber. Defensive coordinator Chris Shula said the team will let Miles be Miles and collaborate with him rather than change his approach. Garrett will demand double teams and triple teams, which will allow other defensive linemen like Braden Fisk, Puna Ford, and Byron Young (who had 12 sacks and 29 QB hits last season) to thrive. The Rams' defense ranked 17th overall and 19th against the pass last season; Garrett is expected to have an Aaron Donald effect and make the defense dominant. Once the defensive line figures out how to rush together with Garrett, they will reach another level of dominance.

Cardinals veteran quarterback acquired by Vikings on a one-year deal to compete with J.J. McCarthy for the starting job. This is a new situation for Murray, who has never had to share starting reps and has always been the guy. He is motivated and has all the experience in the NFL leading up to this moment with Kevin O'Connell. Early returns on his studying have been fantastic. He has never been in a situation where he doesn't have a clear path to being the starter, so he must beat out McCarthy and learn the new system. Mike Garofalo expressed surprise if McCarthy beats out Murray in this competition.

Vikings quarterback entering year three will compete with Kyler Murray for the starting job. Former Vikings receiver Adam Thielen praised McCarthy as a phenomenal dude, hard worker with dog in him and all the intangibles to be successful in the league. Thielen noted that competition will amp up McCarthy's game, similar to how competition elevated Thielen's own career. However, McCarthy threw 12 interceptions and only 11 touchdowns last season, and the Vikings led the league in giveaways with 30 total. The Vikings did not bring in a veteran initially last year because they wanted McCarthy to have a clear path, but now he must fight for his job.

Dolphins wide receiver has been traded away as part of the team's significant offensive overhaul. His departure leaves the Dolphins receiving core shallow and reduces the weapons available to new starting quarterback Malik Willis, complicating the evaluation of Willis's performance.

Dolphins new starting quarterback in week one, but his evaluation will be complicated by significant team changes. The Dolphins are undergoing a coaching change with Jeff Hafley arriving, and the receiving core is not deep; Jalen Waddle has been traded away and they lack overall weapons and targets for Willis. The offensive line has some talent and youth that could develop, but the question remains how to properly evaluate Willis if the team doesn't win games—is it his fault or a team-building issue? The Dolphins are in transition, and Willis must prove himself in a new system with limited weapons.

Raiders veteran quarterback has the lead in the competition with rookie Fernando Mendoza. Cousins has experience in Clint Kubiak's system, which is a significant advantage; he can execute the verbose play calls with confidence and get the line of scrimmage and get the play off on time. Kubiak has stated a preference for having a quarterback sit at first, and Cousins' experience under his belt is a big part of the evaluation. He is likely to be the starter in week one, with Mendoza's timeline for starting dependent on Cousins' performance.

Raiders edge rusher returning from knee surgery that initially led to a failed trade to the Ravens, who were fearful of the injury. Crosby is highly motivated and does not need external motivation; the fact that a team rejected him as damaged goods will drive his work ethic and desire to return to the field as soon as possible. The coaching staff and doctors will need to manage a player who is extra motivated to make his mark and prove his value.

Seahawks cornerback and potential free agent participated in minicamp but his contract extension status is uncertain heading into training camp. The cornerback market top was set by Trent McDuffie at $31 million per season; Witherspoon has been eyeing above that number for an extension, but the Seahawks have not been close to that figure. The sides will continue to talk, with training camp serving as a pressure point that could help close the gap. Under Pete Carroll, the Seahawks had been lenient with allowing hold-ins for unsigned players.

Running back acquired from the Packers as part of Seahawks' deep backfield rotation behind expected starter Jadarian Price. The team has tremendous depth at the position and can distribute carries and receiving work among multiple backs if Price does not emerge as a bell cow.

Seahawks backup running back in a crowded backfield that includes Jadarian Price (expected starter), George Heloni, and Emmanuel Wilson. The team has tremendous depth at the position and can distribute carries and receiving work among multiple backs if Price does not emerge as a bell cow.

Seahawks rookie first-round pick from Notre Dame is expected to be the main starter at running back after Kenneth Walker departed to Kansas City in free agency. Staff praised his suddenness, vision, and cutback ability; they say his field vision is different from any running backs they've had. However, the backfield is crowded with Zach Charbonnet, George Heloni, and Emmanuel Wilson, so Price must emerge as a bell cow or the team can distribute carries among multiple backs.

Randall is a project running back for the Ravens going as RB53 with an FFPC main event ADP of 226.6, below Justice Hill despite the source believing Justice Hill is not the true backup; Randall has legitimate upside because Derek Henry is signed through 2027 but the Ravens may not extend him given the need to pay Lamar Jackson, leaving Randall with a true runway; he's 6'2", 230 pounds with an unofficial 4.5 40-time—speed that's more than enough to break away on big plays and create separation with Lamar Jackson's help; Justice Hill is a fine change-of-pace back but not a true handcuff; Randall can catch passes (he played WR at Clemson until October of last year), offering legitimate upside; his size and speed are rare for a WR-to-RB convert; pass protection will be key but comes down to willingness more than ability, and Lamar Jackson's play-action heavy offense and offensive line improvements will help; Randall showed improvement on tape every week after converting mid-season; at round 19 in startups (low-end pick even in single-QB leagues), he's going after Caleb Johnson and around Torrey Horton, Pat Freiermuth, and Elijah Arroyo—none of whom have the upside of a 6'2", 230-pound Ravens RB with speed and pass-catching prowess; the source can't remember the last time the Ravens had another RB of that size with that speed and pass-catching ability outside of Derrick Henry.

Koziel is a day-three tight end pick by the Jaguars who has no dynasty ADP and is one of the most productive tight ends in FBS over the past couple of seasons; he has two of the top seven tight end seasons by reception share since 2017, alongside Harold Fannin, Trey McBride (twice), Tyler Warren, Michael Mayer, and Sam Laporta; over the past two seasons he has the most receptions in FBS (five more than Jeremiah Smith); reception share is a highly predictive metric for college-to-pro tight end success; the source believes GM James Gladstone wants to follow NFL trends toward multiple tight end sets (which he cited as reason for drafting Koziel and Nate Berkertcher), while coach Liam Cohn is historically 11-personnel heavy; Koziel fits better into what the Jaguars want to do (spreading the field with multiple pass catchers) than Berkertcher (pure blocker with no college season over 200 receiving yards); if Koziel gets on the field for a handful of games as the second tight end in 12-personnel sets next to Brenton Strange, his elite target-earning profile could translate to NFL production; available at free cost and the source has him on all his taxi squads.

Williams is a third-round rookie wide receiver pick for Washington going as WR63 in single-QB formats and pick 151 in FFPC main event; the source loves the fit despite it being a bit more vibes-based than preferred; he has a clear pathway to production given the thin WR competition (Van Jefferson, Traylon Burks, Deami Brown, Jalen Lane are not impressive) and the fact that outside of Terry McLaurin (who gets 10+ targets per game), someone has to catch passes; new play caller David Blau brings a lot of play-action and under-center work with Jaden Daniels, creating room for underneath and deep work; Williams stands out because he's one of the few rookie WRs not in a double-up landing spot; if he hits 8.5-10 points per game, he could easily become a year-two breakout favorite and see himself jump from 14th-round ADP to the 10th round.

Surratt is a rookie wide receiver sleeper going as WR63 in startups with an elite analytics profile: 2.6 yards per team pass attempt in his first season at Indiana was the third-best mark of any receiver in the class before age 22 (only Jordan Tyson and Makai Lemon had better seasons); in his second season he averaged more receiving yards per game than Omar Cooper (a round-one pick); last year he ranked behind only Jeremiah Smith in first downs per route run among all Power Conference receivers; he fell to round four of the NFL draft but landed in the perfect spot with the Ravens, who want to utilize him as a big slot and he's been shining in summer practices catching downfield bombs from Lamar Jackson; he has a legitimate opportunity to carve out playing time by October-November given the thin Ravens WR depth chart behind Zay Flowers and the vulnerability of Rashad Bateman.

Strange was a superior blocker to Evan Ingram from day one, and when the team moved on from Ingram, Strange became the guy for the rest of his rookie contract and is now a rock-solid top-12 tight end, demonstrating the pathway for young tight ends to gain value.

Hill is a tight end sleeper so far down the board he's barely tracked; he was slated as the Patriots' primary blocking tight end but has underrated receiving upside from his final college season at Notre Dame where he posted 2.23 yards per route run and one of the higher ADOTs with a high rate of 15+ yard receptions, though his stats were depressed by heavy blocking usage that won't carry over to the NFL; if the Patriots move on from Hunter Henry, Hill becomes a true every-down guy with route-based upside rare among young tight ends.

Tara prefers Tank Bigsby as the highest upside handcuff option, targeting him as the backup in the Ravens' run-heavy offense with goal-line touchdown upside.

Jake targets Brian Robinson as the best handcuff option in this group, believing he's the only one who would get a full bell-cow workload if the lead back gets injured, given the weak backup depth behind him.

Jake doesn't believe Coleman will get the full workload if the lead back gets injured.

Jake doesn't think Bigsby will get a full workload because he's not a big pass catcher and will share more carries than people might assume.

Jake likes Mitchell as a flex option, though he doesn't believe Mitchell would get the full workload if the lead back gets injured.

Tara also targets Brooks, noting that if he stays healthy, he could earn the lead back job in a Panthers offense where no one's role is guaranteed.

Jake likes Brooks as an upside chance, believing if he's healthy and performs like he did in college, he could take the job without needing an injury to the starter.

Jake has already made his case that Charbonnet is in a timeshare at best, limiting his upside.

Analyst expresses concern about Aaron Jones' ability to stay healthy through the season, stating 'I don't trust Aaron Jones to make it through the season.'

Woody Marks is mentioned as part of the 11th-12th round running back collection but receives no specific analysis in the lightning round segment.

Analyst notes that while Dobbins is better than RJ Harvey, Dobbins hasn't been healthy for entire seasons, making Harvey a more reliable option despite the signing.

Analyst expresses skepticism about Blake Corum's opportunity, noting that Sean Payton doesn't typically give rookie running backs significant three-down work.

Monongai is identified as a high-end handcuff with league-winning upside if DeAndre Swift goes down, offering significant ceiling in the early eighth round.

Analyst now wants Harvey in the early eighth round after he fell further in drafts due to JK Dobbins signing, noting that while Dobbins is better, Dobbins hasn't been healthy for entire seasons.

Analyst is a multi-year Gainwell truther, preferring him over Aaron Jones and Rashad White in the mid-ninth round due to his consistent role and reliability.

Analyst is skeptical of aggressive timelines for Charbonnet's return, noting the average timeline points to November and expressing concern that nine out of ten times getting out aggressively leads to re-injury or diminished performance.

If healthy and performing like he did coming out of college, Brooks would take the Jaguars job without an injury, offering significant upside in the mid-round range.

Analyst prefers Hubbard over other mid-seventh round options, believing he could return to being a three-down back like he was two seasons ago, with the Panthers making significant offensive line investments.

Analyst notes Pollard was garbage in losses (7 losses vs 17 wins last season) but could be an RB2 top-20 if Brian Dable helps the Titans offense as coordinator, though there are many 'maybes' with the middle-pack offense.

Chris Rodriguez is exclusively an early-down and goal-line back in the Jaguars offense, limiting his three-down potential compared to Tootin.

Price had 23 red zone attempts as a rookie backup, converting 4 into touchdowns (all inside the 5-yard line) with a conversion rate more impressive than Travis Etienne, plus 2 red zone receptions for 4 touchdowns.

Price is the only back in the Jaguars backfield who could theoretically be a three-down back, with demonstrated red zone efficiency and goal-line trust from offensive coordinator Liam Cohen.

Analyst projects Price for 240-250 touches and compares him to Raheem Mostert, believing he has significant upside in the Jaguars' rushing-heavy offense with his gap-hitting ability and speed.

When both were healthy at the end of the season, Stevenson was the lead back over Henderson, and was even better than Henderson on a per-touch basis in the passing game.

At the end of the season, Henderson was in a backup role similar to Warren behind Najee Harris with the Steelers, though there is emerging talk about his prospect pedigree and explosiveness.

If the split goes 60-40 in Henderson's favor over Ramondre Stevenson, analyst believes Henderson could hit the top 15 in the Patriots offense.

Analyst notes uncertainty around Bucky Irving's health status, stating 'If we get really positive news, he's going to move up health-wise. If we get less and less and it seems to be iffier, we're going to talk about Gainwell later.'

Analyst describes Swift as 'the safest one in this entire range' if you want fringe RB2 value, but notes that people don't love him because of this limited ceiling.

Analyst expresses concern about Aaron Jones' durability, stating 'I don't really want anything to do with Aaron Jones' and later 'I don't trust Aaron Jones to make it through the season.'

Marshawn Lloyd is being undervalued as a handcuff; the Packers have made clear he'd be the next man up if healthy, and he had one game without a rushing TD before his week 11 injury.

Breece Hall's situation with the Jets is less favorable than Josh Jacobs' role with the Packers as a three-down back.

Josh Jacobs' situation carries off-field concerns, but analysts recommend ranking him as-is unless something develops in the next month.

Josh Jacobs is the Packers' three-down back and was top-10 in points per game last year despite poor rushing efficiency, making him safer than Kyron Williams or Breece Hall.

Kyron Williams will maintain elite production in a 60-40 split with Blake Corum in one of the best offenses, with the only downside being Matthew Stafford injury.

Kyron Williams is getting too much hate; even with Blake Corum at 40% of the work (vs. 39% last year), he remains a top-tier back in one of the best offenses.

Jeremiah Love is unlikely to have an Asante Genti-like rookie season despite being a fourth overall pick, given the Cardinals' depth at running back.

Jeremiah Love's workload is uncertain as a rookie on one of the worst teams in the league, with Tyler Algier and other backs (Benson, Connor) still on the roster.

Kenneth Walker is the safer bet over Jeremiah Love due to the better Chiefs offense, though both carry volume uncertainty.

Kenneth Walker is hoped to be unlocked as a three-down back out of Seattle with Patrick Mahomes, offering wide-open lanes and touchdown opportunities.

Kenneth Walker's workload with the Chiefs is uncertain; the team has historically shared passing game work among lead backs despite his new contract.

Omarion Hampton is very likable with an easy case for upside, sometimes sliding into round three, though Saquon Barkley provides more safety.

Saquon Barkley's lack of extreme upside in 2025 is not a major concern given his 340+ carries and postseason workload in 2024, which typically leads to regression.

The Eagles will lean heavily on Saquon Barkley as a three-down back because that was the magic sauce that won them a Super Bowl, and new OC Sean Mannion from Green Bay will maintain that reliance.

Saquon Barkley can be the overall RB1 in this tier and is positioned well in mid-round two after being higher than consensus all offseason.

The biggest concern for Chase Brown is rushing touchdown upside; he's been left alone by the Bengals but lacks the TD volume of elite backs.

If Joe Burrow is healthy and the offense clicks, Chase Brown projects to 15-17 points per game, with upside to top-five RB status if he increases rushing touchdowns from 5-6 to 10-12.

McCaffrey had 9.2% slot usage, half the rate of the leading running back with at least 100 touches at 18.4%.

If both Jeanty's and Achane's offenses end up as bottom-10 units, Achane can still produce on lesser touches, whereas Jeanty's upside depends more heavily on offensive improvement.

Jeanty came off a season with one of the worst offenses in the league (17 points per game), and while improvement is expected, there's uncertainty about how much better it will be.

Achane is getting too much hate and is being discounted relative to Ashton Jeanty, making him better value despite concerns about the Dolphins offense.

Achane has legitimate overall RB1 upside and could have a CMC-type season with the amount of times he can catch the ball, despite the team and coaching changes.

Achane lines up in the slot 18.4% of the time, the highest rate of any running back with at least 100 touches, compared to Christian McCaffrey's 9.2%.

Achane lines up as a receiver with 106 slot alignments and 42 outside alignments last season, making him a truly dynamic pass catcher comparable to CMC and Bijan Robinson.

Taylor averaged 30 points per game in wins but only 10 points in losses, and the Colts are projected for just 7.5 wins, creating significant variance risk.

With Daniel Jones healthy and a better-distributed schedule in 2025, Taylor could see an increase in touchdowns if the Colts become more cautious with Jones' running capabilities.

Taylor had excellent games against Denver and LA Chargers earlier in the season, proving he can push through terrible matchups.

Taylor had 20 total touchdowns with 17 occurring before the bye week in week 11, showing elite early-season production when the Colts' offense was functioning optimally.

Cook doesn't need to catch a ton of passes because the Bills offense gives him plenty of rushing touchdown upside, and he hasn't even reached 1,000 career touches yet.

Despite touchdown regression (4 rushing TDs down), Cook ran 100 more times for 600 more yards and improved his yards per carry, yet the industry remains unfairly afraid of him.

McCaffrey is the riskiest of the mid-first round group due to his high touch total last year, making him the most likely not to make it through the season.

Bijan may see even more touches this year with Brian Robinson brought in to replicate Tyler Algier's role, potentially increasing his workload.

Bijan had the fifth-highest single-game score (37.5 points) last season and is inside the top 20 with two more games, showing he's not giving up ceiling despite Gibbs' upside.

Matthew Stafford is going at 27 overall in underdog superflex ADP, which is too close to dual-threat quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts (9.1) and Bo Nix (23), suggesting he may be overvalued.

Jared Goff is going at 25 overall in underdog superflex ADP, which is too close to dual-threat quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts (9.1) and Bo Nix (23), suggesting he may be overvalued.

Bo Nix is going at 23 overall in underdog superflex ADP, which is tight relative to pocket quarterbacks like Goff (25 overall) and Stafford (27 overall), suggesting he may be undervalued.

Jalen Hurts is going at 9.1 overall in underdog superflex ADP, which is tight relative to pocket quarterbacks like Goff (25 overall) and Stafford (27 overall), suggesting he may be undervalued.

Jonathan Taylor is being passed on the board by Caleb Williams in superflex ADP, though position players are preferred in that range.

Christian McCaffrey is being passed on the board by Caleb Williams in superflex ADP, though position players are preferred in that range.

Bijan Robinson is part of a rare combination with Jameer Gibbs that makes taking a running back at 1.01 in superflex a viable alternative to Josh Allen.

Trevor Lawrence is grouped in a tier with Justin Herbert and Dak Prescott in superflex rankings.

Dak Prescott is grouped in a tier with Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence in superflex rankings.

Justin Herbert is grouped in a tier with Dak Prescott and Trevor Lawrence, with Herbert at the top of that tier in superflex rankings.

Jalen Hurts is ranked at quarterback seven and is preferred ahead of Caleb Williams in superflex rankings.

Caleb Williams is going ahead of position players like Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and JSN in superflex ADP, though analysts prefer position players in that range.

Joe Burrow is in the elite tier of dual-threat quarterbacks (alongside Jaden Daniels and Drake May) and is ranked on his own tier in superflex rankings.

Patrick Mahomes is going too close in ADP to elite dual-threat quarterbacks like Jaden Daniels, Drake May, and Jalen Hurts, suggesting he may be overvalued relative to those players.

Jalen Hurts is in the elite tier of dual-threat quarterbacks with true top-three ceiling potential and should not be going as close to pocket-style quarterbacks in ADP.

Jaden Daniels is in the elite tier of dual-threat quarterbacks with true top-three ceiling potential and should not be going as close to pocket-style quarterbacks in ADP.

Jared Goff is a true statue quarterback becoming super rare, as almost all NFL quarterbacks now have baseline rushing ability.

Matthew Stafford is a true statue quarterback nearing the end of his career, representing a dying breed as almost all NFL quarterbacks now have baseline rushing ability.

Justin Herbert can run, representing the modern trend of NFL quarterbacks having baseline rushing ability.

Trevor Lawrence can run, representing the modern trend of NFL quarterbacks having baseline rushing ability.

Bo Nix can run, representing the modern trend of NFL quarterbacks having baseline rushing ability.

Brock Purdy can run at least a little bit, representing the modern trend of NFL quarterbacks having baseline rushing ability.

Kenneth Walker could have explosive games if defenses play cover two against the Chiefs, as he would face lighter boxes and have room to run.

Caleb Williams is among the newer generation of dual-threat quarterbacks who have emerged as viable fantasy options with true top-three ceiling potential.

Drake May is grouped in the tier of elite dual-threat quarterbacks (alongside Jaden Daniels and Joe Burrow) who have true top-three quarterback ceiling potential in fantasy.

Getting Lamar Jackson in the late fifth round in best ball formats represents strong upside value, making the 2+ round gap between him and Josh Allen unjustifiably wide.

Lamar Jackson should see an upgrade in offensive coordinator and coaching, plus added weapons, and maintains his elite rushing upside, making him very similar to Josh Allen from an upside perspective despite going 2+ rounds later in best ball.

Lamar Jackson suffered a hamstring injury last year and came back not performing at his prior level, which has contributed to market recency bias against him.

The addition of DJ Moore provides good news for Josh Allen's offensive environment heading into 2026.

Josh Allen has ranked as a top two quarterback for seven straight years, providing exceptional stability and making him a viable 1.01 pick in superflex leagues despite the depth at the position.

Kenneth Grant, the Dolphins' first-round draft pick, needs to take a step forward for the defense to be successful this season.

Chop Robinson needs to get back to how he looked as a rookie for the Dolphins defense to be successful this season.

Chris Johnson, a corner drafted from San Diego State, could hit the ground running for the Dolphins defense, and if he does, that would be a success for the season.

Jacob Rodriguez, drafted as everybody's favorite linebacker, could become a starter for the Dolphins, which would be really helpful especially if they decide to trade Jordan Brooks.

Chris Bell is a big true X receiver who can get yards after the catch and is really hard to bring down; he would be a nice fit with Malik Willis if he plays and could reduce the need for other receivers.

Malik Willis is a special runner with dynamic explosiveness, good vision, and strength; his legs should be a massive part of the Dolphins offense to maximize his effectiveness.

If Devin Achane has a successful year in 2025, he should be locked into one of the top five running backs in the league; he was first in yards after contact in 2025 and has elite speed and explosiveness.

Terrell Bernard will see a significant uptick in performance under Jim Leonard's defensive scheme, as Leonard will blitz linebackers frequently in various forms.

Cole Bishop will see a significant uptick in performance under Jim Leonard's defensive scheme, as Leonard will blitz linebackers frequently and allow Bishop to play more as a box safety like he did at Utah, with more single-high coverage opportunities.

Andre Cisco is a fine safety option for the Jets, though the analyst has never been a big fan of him, representing a floor-raising addition to the secondary.

Minka Fitzpatrick has gotten his hands on the football at points in his career but gave up big plays and was not as great in coverage last season, which was reflected in the market.

D'Angelo Ponds is a fun slot cornerback prospect who could get his hands on the ball and create plays in the run game or in coverage.

Demario Davis was brought back to settle the linebacker group and wear the green dot, providing veteran leadership and intelligence despite no longer being an All-Pro level player.

Will McDonald brings speed and a great get-off as a pass rusher, though he has improved somewhat against the run, and benefits from pairing with David Bailey.

David Bailey was drafted as a pass rusher with great speed and get-off, pairing with Vondy Sweat to give the Jets a dynamic edge rush duo that benefits from stout defensive tackles.

Olu Fashanu deserves credit as part of the Jets' solid offensive line that should help protect Geno Smith and support the running game.

Joe Tippman impressed on tape with the Jets last year and is part of a solid offensive line that could be very good if younger players continue to develop.

Omar Cooper Jr. was solid at Indiana getting yards after the catch and doing dirty work over the middle of the field, and benefits from playing alongside Garrett Wilson as a true number one receiver.

Garrett Wilson is a true three-level threat who can play inside or outside and do everything, making him a true number one wide receiver that elevates the entire Jets receiving corps.

Breece Hall will benefit from Frank Reich's run game designs including inside zone, outside zone, duo, and gap scheme plays like trap and power, similar to how Jonathan Taylor was used with the Colts.

Geno Smith had the worst pressure-to-sack rate in the NFL last year and needs to make better decisions to take fewer sacks, though some of this was attributable to poor offensive line play.

Geno Smith was 8th in on-target rate last year and ranked high in accuracy on throws over 10 yards and even under pressure, suggesting his arm talent remains intact despite poor overall statistics.

With the Jets, Geno Smith has better circumstances with Frank Reich as offensive coordinator, an improved offensive line, and better skill position players, positioning him to be in the 15-20 QB range rather than 25-32.

Geno Smith was 30th in EPA per drop back last year with the Raiders, but the analyst believes his poor play was driven more by circumstances (Chip Kelly's offense, weak offensive line) than a fundamental decline in his ability.

Milton Williams was a strong interior pass rusher for the Patriots last year, ranking 7th in win rate, 3rd in pressure rate, 3rd in pass rush productivity, and tied for 6th in sacks among 112 qualifying interior defenders.

Devin Witherspoon ran through the B and C gaps relentlessly attacking Drake Maye in the Super Bowl, contributing to the Patriots' offensive line struggles.

Reggie Gilliam was added as a fullback and his acquisition seems purposeful, allowing the Patriots to use heavier personnel groupings similar to what the Bills did with great success.

Julian Hill was lost to injury after being drafted by the Patriots to pair with Hunter Henry.

Hunter Henry is very reliable and will be paired with a newly drafted tight end as part of the Patriots' offensive strategy.

Robert Spillane was part of the Patriots defense when it was a very good run defense.

When Christian Barmore and Milton Williams were on the field together, the Patriots defense showed elite promise with elite defensive tackles and elite corners.

When Milton Williams and Christian Barmore were on the field together, the Patriots defense showed elite promise with elite defensive tackles and elite corners.

Kevin Bayard is coming in at safety for the Patriots and is described as pretty good from last year.

Carlton Davis is a tremendous number two corner for the Patriots defense.

Christian Gonzalez is one of the best corners in football and should continue on his trajectory with the Patriots defense.

Morgan Moses is the right tackle for the Patriots, with Caleb Lomu potentially available as a successor.

Jared Wilson's move to center helps him given his size and skill set, and he should improve in his second season.

Elijah Vera Tucker has a history of injuries that keep him out for extended periods, limiting his availability despite his talent.

If Elijah Vera Tucker stays healthy, he can legitimately be one of the better offensive linemen in the league and is the key piece for the Patriots offensive line.

Caleb Lomu was drafted as a potential successor to Will Campbell or Morgan Moses, though it's unclear if he'll see the field this year.

Will Campbell struggled in the postseason coming off an injury, though he was better before the injury.

Rhamondre Stevenson should benefit from lighter boxes and easier running lanes with the addition of AJ Brown to the Patriots offense.

Travion Henderson should benefit from lighter boxes and easier running lanes with the addition of AJ Brown to the Patriots offense.

Drake Maye was first in passer rating when under pressure and fourth in EPA per drop back when blitzed despite being pressured at the sixth highest rate in the NFL.

Drake Maye has one of the most ridiculous EPA per drop backs on deep ball throws in the past five to seven years.

Drake Maye was in the MVP conversation the previous year with a lesser receiving group, and the upgraded receivers should help him further.

Demario Douglas is part of the Patriots' receiving group and is expected to be useful despite the addition of elite receivers.

AJ Brown is described as a physical monster who can add size, speed, and explosion downfield, though he may not be the prime version of himself from his Philadelphia days.

Dobbs is described as a really good elite separator, low red zone technician, and good on outbreakers with an excellent process.

Anthony Prohaska values Romeo Dobbs highly, stating he would have preferred Dobbs and his contract over DJ Moore and what the Bills paid for Moore.

Keon Coleman is in the doghouse, suggesting reduced playing time or role concerns with the Bills.

Jake and Tara are out on drafting Travis Etienne in 2026, calling him a bust for the coming year based on current ADP.

Jake and Tara are out on drafting Dalton Kincaid in 2026, calling him a bust for the coming year based on current ADP.

Jake and Tara are out on drafting DJ Moore in 2026, calling him a bust for the coming year based on current ADP.

Jake and Tara are out on drafting Malik Nabers in 2026, calling him a bust for the coming year based on current ADP.

Jake and Tara are out on drafting CeeDee Lamb in 2026, calling him a bust for the coming year based on current ADP.

Jake and Tara are out on drafting Patrick Mahomes in 2026, calling him a bust for the coming year based on current ADP.

Jayden Daniels is part of a valuable QB range the analyst prefers to draft in this season.

Drake Maye is part of a valuable QB range the analyst prefers to draft in this season.

Evans is loved this season with a projection of 15 receiving touchdowns, representing a great value range for wide receiver selection.

Montgomery is a much better and safer pick than Jeudy with upside attached, making him a more confident draft choice.

Swift is a much better and safer pick than Jeudy with upside attached, making him a more confident draft choice.

Rodriguez has a connection with coach Liam Coen from the past and is expected to get some early-down work, potentially cutting into Jeudy's opportunities.

Etienne was very good and highly productive last season, looking explosive and fitting well in the offense.

Has only six career receptions through three seasons and serves as an obvious early down grinder in Jacksonville's backfield.

Coming off foot surgery with some level of unknown regarding recovery; unclear if time off from surgery decreases athleticism or causes complications.

Best pick for teams using a modified hero strategy with 1-2 running backs in the first 4-5 rounds, where he can serve as a quality RB2.

Can easily finish as a top 15 running back, which would be a league winner, though lack of receptions may prevent him from being top 10.

Kyler Murray is expected to run the ball less than people anticipate because he prefers to stay healthy and avoid scrambling, and the Kevin O'Connell system will ask him to play within the system rather than create on his own.

Kyler Murray represents an obvious quarterback upgrade for the Vikings and is expected to easily win the starting job, with the offense expected to return to being really good when paired with one of the best defenses in the NFL.

J.J. McCarthy was terrible in his role with the Vikings, breaking the pattern of Kevin O'Connell's quarterbacks performing well, and is expected to be replaced by Kyler Murray.

Aaron Jones is expected to be used as a change-of-pace and passing-down option, with an anticipated role of around eight or nine touches per week while Jordan Mason handles the bulk of the work.

Jordan Mason is the best pick on modified hero RB teams that grab one or two running backs in the first four to five rounds, as he provides more value than on robust RB teams with three running backs in the top five rounds.

Jordan Mason will benefit from dump-off passes that hyper-mobile quarterbacks typically avoid throwing to running backs, providing additional receiving opportunities beyond his expected role.

With Kyler Murray replacing J.J. McCarthy, the 49ers offense is expected to improve significantly, and Kyler's tendency to run less than expected will open up running lanes for Jordan Mason, who was highly efficient with 4.8 yards per carry last season.

Jordan Mason can be a league winner on a 20 reception season paired with significant early down work and touchdowns, and can easily finish as a top-15 running back.

At round 11 ADP as a fifth running back, Jordan Mason can be a league winner if he becomes a productive, trustworthy running back two with consistent weekly value and touchdowns, allowing teams to trade him for upgrades elsewhere.

Jordan Mason had only 14 receptions last year and was horrific after the catch, which is not an ideal receiving profile.

Jordan Mason is expected to be the clear-cut starting running back for the 49ers, handling the bulk of early down work, mixing in for receptions, and having all of the touchdowns, while Aaron Jones serves as a change-of-pace and passing-down option.

At round 11 ADP, Mason doesn't need a 60-reception season to be a league winner; if he becomes a productive, trustworthy RB2, that alone qualifies as a league-winning pick at his draft position.

Mason beat out Aaron Jones for the goal-line job and is set up even better than last year; the team invested heavily in him in free agency and views him as the clear-cut starting running back who will handle bulk early-down work and all touchdowns.

Chris Rodriguez has only six receptions through three seasons and is coming off foot surgery, making him essentially a 0% chance to be a league winner this season.

Jamaal Williams is an absolute zero in the receiving game and will be at best second among running backs in snaps in a three-back committee with a hypermobile quarterback.

Aaron Jones is coming off his worst season at age 32 with reports indicating a diminished role this season, and he set eight-year lows in efficiency metrics despite low touch volume, making him unlikely to receive heavy workload.

Mason has composite ADP as RB42 but the analyst ranks him RB37, noting he has more upside than other running backs in rounds 10-11 when evaluating ceiling outcomes.

The Bears' difficult schedule is less impactful for Swift than Monon Guy because he'll benefit from trailing games and passing situations, potentially seeing higher snap share and making up for lower rush attempts with receiving opportunities.

Britain Brown is described as an absolute scrub who won't push Monongai for workload in the Bears backfield.

Roschon Johnson is described as an absolute scrub who won't push Monongai for workload in the Bears backfield.

Swift is in an awesome situation with the Bears under Ben Johnson in year two, and the difficult schedule actually benefits him over Monongai since he'll be used in passing situations and two-minute drills when games are close.

Swift has at least 34 receptions in all six seasons, 1,250+ yards in three straight years, and came off back-to-back seasons over 1,340 yards with career-high touchdowns and yards per carry in his first year with Ben Johnson.

Swift easily has league-winning upside this season and can hit in all three areas (rushing, receiving, touchdowns), making him valuable as a running back two or even three if you go robust RB early.

Swift is ranked RB21 by the analyst but RB22 by consensus ADP, with the analyst valuing him as an early fourth-round pick while consensus has him in round five.

James Cook goes at the tail end of round one because he's expected to average a very high yards per carry, making him valuable despite potentially limited total touch upside.

Akers suffered a major foot injury last season, which is a concern for some fantasy players.

Akers can be had in round four rather than round two, making him a no-brainer value pick with league-winning upside.

Akers was on pace for over 300 touches last season before getting injured, and anyone with 60 receptions while scoring 15+ touchdowns has league-winning upside.

Akers has featured upside with both rushing and receiving production, providing multiple scoring paths and league-winning potential.

Cam Akers has composite ADP as RB20 but is ranked RB18, making him undervalued. He was seventh in adjusted points per game last season as a rookie.

Gibbs is preferred over Bijan due to less systemic risk in Detroit's offense compared to Atlanta's quarterback uncertainty.
