Samaje Perine

Draft Priority Medium5

Draft in the late rounds as a backup and insurance pick. He should get passing-down work and steady catches in a strong Bengals offense, but he’s behind Chase Brown so don’t expect a big role.

DeAndre Hopkins

Draft Priority Low5

Draft him only in the late rounds as a bench flier. He's getting older and plays for a team that doesn't pass much and has other main receivers, so he mostly helps only if he scores a touchdown and isn't someone to rely on every week.

Braelon Allen

Draft Priority High3

Grab Braelon Allen in the late rounds as a cheap bench backup behind Breece Hall — he could get short-yard and goal-line work and might see a bigger role if things change. He’s a bit risky because of Hall’s health and a reported knee soreness, so only pick him if you can spare a late pick. Want 54 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 37% in 54 sources updated 10 months ago

High — Braelon Allen is a high-upside late-round priority/handcuff/handcuff-plus stash because preseason consensus and models view him as a likely short-yardage/goal-line complement to Breece Hall with a plausible path to early-down and three-down work under a new scheme. Target Allen as a late-round pick (aim rounds 10–14 in typical 12-team drafts; current ADP references cluster between ~143 and ~176, though some analysts would take him as early as Round 7 if available) to capture upside at low cost. Risk: value depends on Hall’s health/usage split and a reported knee soreness; upside is standalone RB2/flex if workload shifts, floor is bench-only handcuff.

08/29 Medium Big-bodied (240 lb) back with elite short-yardage/goal-line conversion rates. Shares backfield with Breece Hall but offers goal-line upside; worth a late-round flier for touchdown equity.
08/29 Medium Expected committee with Breece Hall under new Jets coaching staff; could operate in a Montgomery-type role with goal-line duties — solid contingency starter with top-20 upside if Hall misses time.
08/28 Medium (100%) Listed as a handcuff/late-round target who could turn into a league-winner if opportunity opens (e.g., starter injury). Worth selecting late as insurance with upside if workload increases.
08/28 Medium (45%) Named as a handcuff/backup to target (NYJ) — draftable as insurance with upside if starter misses time.
08/28 High (100%) Article predicts Allen will outscore Breece Hall in TDs and become a lead back — indicates significant draft value and a priority target in mid rounds or earlier depending on ADP.
08/28 High (100%) Looking like the Jets’ likely short-yardage/goal-line back and possibly the long-term lead; younger and healthier than Breece Hall — strong draft target with immediate and future upside in New York's backfield.
08/28 Medium (100%) Late-round upside as an early-down back in a new offense; a pair with Tank Bigsby gives two similar shots at a starting role — good for RB depth in 14-team leagues.
08/27 High (100%) Young back (21) drawing consistent praise from the Jets; saw third-down snaps in preseason with starters and team has publicly committed to giving him more touches. ADP (RB48) makes him a strong late-round upside pick who could carve out a committee or emerge if Breece Hall struggles or workload is shared.
08/27 High (56%) Late-round, high-upside rookie/sophomore back who flashed explosiveness and physicality; used as a backup last year but profiles to carve out a timeshare early and could take over more snaps and goal-line work. The author targets him in the 10th round or later as a sleeper with starter upside.
08/26 High (100%) Elite short-yardage runner (90.0 PFF grade on <2-yard runs) with size (6'1", 235) and path to an early-down, touchdown-scoring role similar to David Montgomery if the new OC uses a Lions-style rotation. Upside to be a fantasy starter if he sees a volume bump; risk depends on usage, Justin Fields’ tush-push/short-yardage carries, and offensive line play.
08/26 Medium (100%) Coaches hype and a likely run-heavy Jets offense give Allen contingency upside behind Breece Hall; could carve short-yardage/goal-line role and weekly usability in heavier rushing attack.
08/26 Medium Young rookie flashed as a 20-year-old; coaching staff hype and potential committee usage could lead to goal-line/role expansion. Late-round pick with little cost and potential to take over touches if Breece Hall is moved or splits reduce Hall's role.
08/26 Medium Seen as a high-upside mid-round target and potential Chase-Brown-style breakout candidate; solid handcuff/committee upside in Jets backfield but not guaranteed — draft as upside flier in middle rounds.
08/26 High (100%) Showed better preseason per-carry work than Breece Hall and profiles as a powerful goal-line/early-down option; ADP lagging behind similar handcuffs but has standalone upside in potential committee or if Hall is traded.
08/23 High Young, advanced runner with clear three-down upside and touchdown ceiling; fantasy-friendly runner who could develop into a perennial 1,000-yard guy. Podcast would pay up to a 2026 second for him — sign of strong dynasty interest.
08/23 High (100%) Showed promise as a rookie backup (334 rushing yards, 2 TDs) and ranked well in yards after contact per attempt. Serves as an excellent short-yardage and goal-line option behind Breece Hall; projected to see increased touches in 2025. SportsLine's model ranks him ahead of multiple RBs being drafted before him, marking him as a high-upside late-draft target.
08/23 Must Have Tagged 'holding' as the clear handcuff/backup to Breece Hall — advised to roster Allen if drafting Hall because he could see significant work as a young, promising backup.
08/22 Medium Handcuff/committee runner with upside to usurp Breece Hall in a split backfield; profile suggests potential RB2 if Hall is traded/injured or loses role. Reasonable mid-round pick as a breakout lotto ticket.
08/22 Medium (62%) Profiled as a frequent TD producer in a run-heavy RPO offense; clear touchdown upside and late-round ceiling that could push incumbents out — draft as a upside handcuff/late-round pick.
08/22 Medium (100%) Increasing preseason role with starters (including third-down snaps) and team signals he will contribute; profile fits a David Montgomery-type complementary role with red-zone upside. Still some uncertainty on exact workload share.
08/22 High (100%) A backup to Breece Hall who flashed as a short-yardage/goal-line runner and showed receiving chops (19 catches last year). SportsLine’s model ranks him ahead of several RBs being drafted before him, making him an undervalued late-draft breakout/handcuff target.
08/22 Medium Second‑year back with clear upside if Breece Hall is dealt/usage changes. Good late‑round stash/boom pick for best‑ball with potential to pop.
08/22 Medium Preferred handcuff to own to start the year; more likely to have a playable standalone role early in the season compared to Trey Benson, so useful for short-term insurance/bench depth.
08/22 Medium (100%) Mentioned as a late-round sleeper (goes well outside top-120) — target in deep leagues as a high-upside developmental RB.
08/22 High (100%) Identified as an upside sleeper who could force a committee role with Breece Hall; preseason usage and yardage trends make him a strong late-round stash with breakout potential.
08/22 Medium (100%) Flashed as a rookie and carries positive offseason buzz; likely a committee with Breece Hall but has a non-zero path to expanded role this year, especially with an easier RB schedule and OL additions.
08/22 High (100%) ADP still late (12th round). Gaining steam as strong 1B to Breece Hall; coaches reportedly love him. Rare combination of size (6'1, 235) and speed with top percentile speed score. Best-case: early-season smash or even supplants Hall; worst-case: valuable handcuff/insurer with 20-touch upside if Hall injured. Excellent risk/reward for late rounds.
08/19 High (100%) ADP 143.3 labeled a top sleeper; strong training camp reviews, could earn a large role in a run-heavy offense and be goal-line option. Author would draft him as early as Round 7 and calls him a steal if he remains in double-digit rounds.
08/19 High Text calls Allen a potential standalone fantasy asset if he fits the offense — compared to a David Montgomery-type role in a run-heavy offense. Suggested as a late-draft target with upside if the offense leans on him.
08/19 Medium Author: 'Allen ... worth drafting as early as Round 8' due to expected big role for the Jets.
08/19 Medium (100%) Played all third-down snaps with the starters in preseason and will likely eat into Breece Hall's touches; good upside as a committee piece and target for value picks in drafts.
08/19 Medium (100%) Showed improved speed and confidence; coaching staff trusts him. Expect a committee with Breece Hall, but Allen is getting third-down and passing-down work — useful as a PPR handcuff or mid-round flier with upside.
08/19 Low (100%) Late pick (Round 16 in mock) as a pure upside handcuff: big upside only if Breece Hall is traded/injured; not a priority but a cheap shot for long-term upside.
08/19 Medium (100%) Positive training-camp buzz and flashes of efficiency, but he's behind Breece Hall who controls most volume (73% snap share, 61% rush share). Allen offers late-round upside and should be targeted in double-digit rounds for best-ball upside if Hall misses time or volume shifts.
08/19 High (100%) Mentioned as a potential challenger to Breece Hall's role — offers high upside if he wins snaps/role. Good late-round upside/dynasty stash given clear path to increased work if opportunity arises.
08/17 Medium (74%) Talented back in a Jets backfield that plans to use multiple backs; could play a David Montgomery–style complementary role. Expect higher team rushing volume; has role upside though behind primary back.
08/17 High (100%) Handcuff/secondary RB with clear upside in a committee — plus pass-catching and run ability. Could inherit lead role if Breece Hall is traded or injured; profiles as high-value mid/late-round RB with volume upside.
08/17 High (100%) Showed physical profile (size/speed) and flashed in preseason; Jets could have improved run game with Justin Fields and better O-line, Allen projects to earn early-down work behind Breece Hall. Current ADP (~176) undervalues his upside — should be drafted earlier than most managers realize.
08/17 High (100%) Allen showed flashes late in his rookie season and has generated steady positive buzz this offseason. With his 6'1", 235-lb build he profiles as a power/goal-line back and could earn a significant role in a potential committee under new coach Aaron Glenn. He’s a strong late-round priority pick as a hedge against Hall’s volatility and has upside to be a flex or lead short-yardage scorer if his role grows.
08/14 Medium (64%) Projected to take a jump in touches behind Breece Hall; favorable Jets run environment boosts upside, but currently drafts behind Hall.
08/14 High Expected to get a larger share of carries in New York Jets' run-oriented plan; already had 28% of carries last season — clear touchdown and volume upside as role grows.
08/12 Medium (100%) Ranked No. 16 handcuff; power back behind Breece Hall with goal‑line and early‑down contingency appeal.
08/12 High (100%) Named among favorite late-round RB values; upside stash.
08/12 Medium (100%) Jets coaches keep referencing a committee. Allen looked strong in preseason and fits a David Montgomery-like role alongside Breece Hall, with potential goal-line work and massive contingency value.
08/11 High (100%) Braelon Allen outperformed Breece Hall in key rushing metrics last year. With a new approach to the Jets' backfield, Allen is expected to play a larger role, particularly on early downs, and could serve as the main goal-line back.
08/11 Low (100%) Allen's role in the Jets' backfield is uncertain with the presence of Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis. Drafting him before his ADP given his current role might not be wise.
08/11 Medium (100%) Braelon Allen's physical style and performance suggest he might force a committee with Breece Hall in the Jets' backfield, despite average stats. His size and burst give him potential to impact fantasy rosters.
08/08 Low (100%) A bench dart throw who is getting positive reviews, but more of a speculative pick based on training camp buzz.
08/07 Low (62%) Possible role similar to David Montgomery with potential future value if the Jets' new regime isn't satisfied with Breece Hall.
08/06 Medium Expected to have a significant role, potentially affecting Breece Hall's workload in the Jets' backfield.
08/06 Low (100%) Allen has limitations due to Breece Hall's presence and a less potent offense compared to the Bills. His value hinges on a potential injury to Hall, making him a deeper stash rather than a high-priority target.
08/06 Medium (69%) Allen impressed in limited opportunities and is poised to take on a bigger role under a new coaching staff known for using multiple backs. He is one injury away from becoming the lead back.
08/05 Medium Braylon Allen is expected to play a substantial role in a committee backfield. If something happens to the starting RB, he will be a major waiver wire target. His youth and potential make him a valuable handcuff.
08/05 Low Braelon Allen is dealing with knee soreness which could make him a risky pick in the early rounds.

Tyson Bagent

Draft Priority Low3

Don't draft him in normal leagues; only grab him in late rounds for very deep or tournament-only setups. He's a backup with almost no starting experience, so he's just a bench stash in case he briefly gets to start.

Chig Okonkwo

Draft Priority Medium3

Draft him in the late rounds. He could be a useful second tight end if he and rookie quarterback Cam Ward click — he’s durable and should get steady catches, but he doesn’t score a lot and people disagree on him. Want 18 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 37% in 18 sources updated 10 months ago

Mid/late-round target: Okonkwo rates as a medium-priority draft pick—typically a late-round selection (commonly available after Round 10 in 12-team drafts) with clear TE2 upside if his route volume and chemistry with rookie QB Cam Ward translate into sustained targets. He offers a reliable floor via consistent target volume and durability, but limited touchdown history and dependence on improved QB play make him an upside-first, touchdown-uncertain option.

08/29 Medium Explosive athleticism (4.52 40) and a strong late-2024 three-game sample (22 catches on 28 targets) point to a chance for a significant leap in 2025. Finished second on team in targets/receptions; developing rapport with new QB Cam Ward. Still has consistency concerns, so view as a mid/late-round upside TE rather than a lock.
08/28 Low (100%) Has shown the ability to earn 70+ targets in consecutive seasons but hasn’t had stable QB play. Pure late-round dart: if Cam Ward or QB play improves, Okonkwo has TE2 upside; otherwise a risky bench stash.
08/28 Low (100%) Could benefit from new rookie QB Cam Ward and project as TE2 behind Calvin Ridley in Titans offense; inconsistent history but worth a late-round flier in deeper leagues.
08/26 High (100%) Athletic, efficient receiving tight end (top yards per route run) who finished 2024 with increased snap share and route involvement; minimal competition for targets after Titans’ WR moves. Clear pathway to top-12 TE if he sustains late-season usage and builds chemistry with Cameron Ward in Callahan’s TE-friendly offense.
08/23 Low (100%) Listed among late-round tight end possibilities — low draft priority, useful as a streamer if available.
08/23 High Consistent and durable: never missed a game, 77 and 70 targets 2023–24, 71.5% career catch rate, and late-season uptick with big-play ability. Limited competition in Titans' pass game makes him a quality late-round TE target with upside.
08/22 Medium Late‑round tight end with upside in offense; useful as a mid/late TE target in best‑ball where tight‑end spikes can win weeks.
08/19 Medium (100%) Strong training camp reports and a late-2024 surge in efficiency (30% TPR and 2.19 YPRR Weeks 15-18). Thin receiving corps behind Calvin Ridley and new rookie QB Cam Ward create a path to TE1-level volume — worth mid-round consideration at tight end in drafts.
08/19 Low (77%) Tier 8 — sleeper upside is limited in this preseason update; take late or ignore.
08/15 High (100%) Late-round value as a punt TE: high route/run metrics and performed well without an ineffective QB, showing ability to produce as a cheap fantasy tight end—good end-of-draft dart.
08/15 Medium (100%) Became the undisputed starting TE in preseason (100% of Cam Ward snaps) and finished strong late last season. Late-round sleeper with potential to finish as a top-12 TE if usage continues.
08/15 Medium (100%) Consistently durable with 450-528-479 receiving yard seasons but limited touchdowns and upside so far. New rookie QB Cam Ward should improve targets and efficiency, but projections still keep him as a low-end TE2 (ceiling ~55/600/4). Good safe-floor TE2 with modest upside — not a breakout elite TE, but a viable middle-round/late-round target in TE-thin drafts.
08/14 Medium Mid-round profile: part of the offense with red-zone opportunities but limited target-share ceiling. Good roster-building pick if you avoid using an early-round TE.
08/11 Low (54%) Chig Okonkwo represents a deeper sleeper pick who could capitalize on vacated targets and career growth. Best suited for those willing to take a risk.
08/07 Medium (100%) While Okonkwo has been consistent, his lack of explosive performance limits his fantasy value to a low-end TE2. However, with a new talented QB in Cam Ward, there's potential for improved performance.
08/06 High Averaging a 29% target share and 10.5 targets per game recently without scoring a touchdown, indicating strong involvement in passing game even without TDs.
08/06 Medium Despite low ranking, his role increased late last season, showing potential for a 750-yard season. With a mediocre receiving corps and a talented rookie QB, Okonkwo could surprise.
08/01 Medium (70%) Okonkwo showed promise when not paired with certain quarterbacks and is available late in most drafts.

Cooper Kupp

Draft Priority Medium3

Take him in the late rounds as a bench gamble. He could be a useful starter if healthy, but he's older, has injury history, and the quarterback and role are uncertain. Want 19 more details?

Unclear consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 29% in 19 sources updated 10 months ago

Cooper Kupp should be treated as a medium-priority draft target—draft him as a late-round/bench swing rather than an early-round priority. His preseason ADP clusters around rounds 8–11 (roughly pick ~96), offering a low-cost shot at WR3/top-25 upside if healthy. He carries significant injury, age (32), and role/QB uncertainty risk, but his target skill-set and PPR reception floor provide worthwhile upside at that price.

08/28 Low Evaluator describes him as 'Cooper cooked' last year and frames a move back to Seattle as a sentimental homecoming rather than a true bounce-back. Suggests high risk he won't return to prior ADP/production — avoid drafting at previous high price.
08/28 Medium (100%) Veteran WR with clear upside when healthy; averaged 16 PPR FPPG through Week 14 last year but aged (32) and injury-prone in recent seasons. Cheaper ADP (around 96th overall) makes him a buy-low candidate with first-half production potential.
08/28 Low (100%) Author warned about age and late-season decline and said Kupp is being treated as an afterthought on Draft Day; usually available in Rounds 8–9 and taking him earlier (Round 7) could be a regret compared to selecting younger/more reliable options.
08/22 Low (100%) Listed in later tiers (Rounds 8-10 Tier 8) as a deeper pick — veteran with diminishing ADP/value; target as a late-round upside/flex option only.
08/19 High (100%) Despite a missed snap in one series, Kupp shared slot duties and is entrenched as a top target in the Seahawks' offense; keep him as a high-priority WR target.
08/15 Low (100%) Article flags Kupp as an injury risk and declining veteran — hasn't played more than 12 games in each of the last three seasons and is 32; suggests his late-season 2024 slump and durability concerns make him a poor early-round target.
08/13 Low Moved from the Rams to Seattle; recent leg injuries, declining separation metrics, new offense and QB (Sam Darnold) and concerns about OL and target distribution — avoid at single-digit/early-round prices.
08/12 High (100%) Discounted due to injury concerns but still capable of WR3+ output working with Sam Darnold and JSN; price bakes in risk.
08/11 High (54%) Even with health issues, Cooper Kupp is seen as a valuable PPR pick due to his safety valve role, providing consistent receptions.
08/09 Low Kupp's injury history, age, and current ADP position him behind younger, more promising wide receivers. His lack of recent full-season play adds risk.
08/08 Ignore Cooper Kupp has not matched his 2021 numbers due to injuries and joins a Seahawks team with uncertainty at quarterback. Expected to finish outside the top 50 WRs.
08/08 Medium (100%) Could be a strong value pick late if he still has potential left. A reasonable risk at his cost.
08/07 Medium (100%) Drafted at Round 11 for value despite injury concerns. Still averaged 11 FPPG last season, serving as a solid bench piece.
08/07 Low (100%) Cooper Kupp is identified as a fade in late rounds due to risk factors that are not elaborated but suggest caution in drafting him.
08/06 Medium Cooper Kupp's role is uncertain with JSN dominating slot snaps in Seattle, but his 8th round ADP still offers upside if Seattle finds a way to utilize his talent effectively.
08/06 Medium Cooper Kupp's draft cost in the tenth round offers a low-risk, high-reward opportunity for a player who, if returned to form, has top 25 upside. Although injuries have hindered recent performances, taking a chance at this draft position maximizes potential gain with minimal risk.
08/05 Ignore Moved to Seattle, unlikely to receive previous volume of targets. Limited same explosiveness and facing more competition within the offense.
08/01 High Cooper Kupp retains high draft value due to his impressive target share and reliable hands. Valuable as a second to third round WR pick.
08/01 High (100%) Now part of the Seattle Seahawks, Kupp is expected to share the spotlight with Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a top receiving target for Sam Darnold. Despite the offensive line concerns, Kupp's consistency can still make him a valuable high-floor, high-ceiling option.

Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Draft Priority High3

Draft him in the late rounds as a cheap pick — a teammate’s preseason hamstring issue could open the door for more early-down work. He does share snaps and has some fumbling and low yards-per-run worries, but he catches passes and could be worth the gamble if he gets a lot of playing time. Want 25 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 36% in 25 sources updated 10 months ago

High-priority late-round target due to a clear path to early-down/lead-back work after Cam Skattebo’s preseason hamstring setback and multiple analyst endorsements; ADP ~79.6 (~9th round) makes him cheap value with several outlets recommending targeting him as a 7th–10th-round flier. Committee risk (Skattebo/Devin Singletary) and ball-security/sub-4.0 YPC concerns lower the floor, but volume upside and receiving chops make him a strong late-round upside play.

08/28 Low (100%) Competing with Cam Skattebo for backfield touches with unclear role. Lacks clear volume or defined role, making him a low-priority draft target.
08/28 Medium (100%) Undervalued in Round 9: ADP ~79.6 vs CER 71.1. Team invested in rookie Cam Skattebo but Tracy remains projected RB1 with workload certainty; solid RB2/flex value in late rounds with Russell Wilson at QB.
08/26 High Identified as a phenomenal late-round value pick (7th–8th round) — strong upside as a cheap roster flier.
08/26 High (100%) Finished 2024 as PPR RB26 and could be New York’s RB1 again after Giants drafted Cam Skattebo; Russell Wilson’s high checkdown rate supports pass-catching RB value — attractive for full-PPR and Zero RB drafters.
08/23 Medium Article indicates SportsLine ranks Charbonnet ahead of Tyrone Tracy Jr., but Tracy Jr. is being drafted earlier than Charbonnet (~35 picks). Suggests lower value relative to his ADP.
08/23 High (100%) Projected Week 1 starter after rookie (Cam Skattebo) hamstring issue; finished previous season with 192 carries and reliable receiving ability. One of the last true starting RBs being selected — strong late-round value (7th–8th).
08/22 Medium (62%) Cam Skattebo's preseason hamstring injury opens path for heavier early workload; should be drafted as a mid-to-late round handcuff/committee upside pick.
08/22 Medium (100%) Showed three-down promise and explosive play ability (4.4 YPC, strong missed-tackle metrics). Reasonable auction price (~$10) and upside to be lead back, but committee uncertainty with Cam Skattebo and a shaky Giants OL temper the floor.
08/19 High (24%) Written off by some but appears to have the inside track to Week 1 lead-back duties; as a late-round (10th-11th round in 10-team) target he offers significant upside and is too cheap to ignore if he starts.
08/17 High (100%) Listed as a late-round ZeroRB sleeper with a strong receiving profile and a 69% snap share in Weeks 4-18. Comparable to a Rachaad White-type breakout if opportunity arises; could be RB3/flex or even team RB1 in a ZeroRB build if Cam Skattebo is banged up.
08/15 Medium (51%) Reportedly the early-down lead in Giants backfield but has fumble/drop/pass-protection issues. Role gives volume upside, but execution concerns and rising ADP make him a risk to avoid overpaying for.
08/15 High (100%) Appears to be entering the season as the unquestioned starter after Cam Skattebo’s hamstring setback. In his rookie campaign he didn’t play majority snaps until Week 5 but ranked RB21 in fantasy points per game from that point on — makes him a sneaky borderline RB2 with clear volume upside.
08/14 Medium Trending toward the early-down lead role for the Giants (about a 70-30 split in his favor over Cam Skattebo); draftable as primary rookie back but still unproven.
08/12 Medium (100%) Nominal starter to open the season, but late-season ball-security issues (4 fumbles in final 8 games) and sub-4.0 YPC hurt trust and effectiveness. With rookie Cam Skattebo added and Devin Singletary still on the roster, his workload is fragile—early-season floor with shaky long-term hold.
08/12 Medium Later-round contingency/backfield climber mentioned as part of viable zero-RB trio; useful depth with paths to role expansion.
08/12 Medium Benefiting from Skattebo’s minor hamstring absence with increased first-team reps; projects for early committee touches alongside Devin Singletary.
08/12 High Clear lead back for Giants while Cam Scatterbo rehabs multi-week hamstring; preseason usage shows workhorse role.
08/12 High (100%) Highlighted as a favorite RB3+ value; worth targeting ahead of ADP in later rounds.
08/12 Medium (100%) Preferred mid-round RB depth piece with a path to meaningful snaps; trusted more than other similar dart throws.
08/11 High With Cam Scadaboo's injury, Tracy is set to be the leading back in New York Giants' offense, offering good PPR value.
08/09 High (69%) With Cam Skattebo expected to miss time, Tyrone Tracy Jr. remains at the top of the Giants' RB depth chart and gains more fantasy value.
08/06 High Following the departure of Saquon Barkley and the opportunity created by Devin Singletary's injury, Tracy showcased his talent, finishing as RB26 overall. From weeks 5 to 18, he performed like an RB16, indicating a promising upside in this backfield.
08/06 Medium Tracy Jr. is discussed in the context of being a backup RB, suggesting a role with potential if injury or opportunity allows.
08/05 High Tyrone Tracy Jr. is set to be the Giants' lead running back in 2025, indicating a prominent role in their offense which elevates his draft value.
08/05 High Tracy Jr. is being discussed as potentially being the Giants’ RB1 in 2025, which signifies a promising opportunity for significant touches and production.

Robert Tonyan

Draft Priority Low4

Draft him only in the late rounds — he’s behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray so he probably won’t get many catches. He looked good in camp and could score a touchdown now and then, so he’s worth a long-shot bench pick. Want 2 more details?

Austin Ekeler

Draft Priority High3

Draft him in the late rounds. He catches passes and returns kicks so he can help if the starter gets hurt, but his age, past concussions, and a crowded backfield make him a risky play. Want 19 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 33% in 19 sources updated 10 months ago

High priority — Ekeler is a late-round, high-upside PPR target with a reliable receiving floor; multiple analysts recommend him as a Round 9/late-round target or buy-low value below typical RB3 ADP. Age, concussion history, and a crowded Commanders backfield limit ceiling and increase volatility, but his pass-catching role and return-yard value produce meaningful upside if the starter misses time.

08/27 High Analyst favored Ekeler (or Chris Rodriguez Jr.) over Commanders' speculative backs in early-season drafts — solid pick at modest prices, especially in formats that value early-season production.
08/26 High Proven high-volume, PPR-friendly back — Tom listed him as a late-round target but he remains a premium asset; draft if value aligns with your build.
08/26 High Panel bumped Ekeler up after seeing his receiving usage with Jalen Hurts/Daniel? (text says Jaden Daniels) — strong PPR upside and receiving role makes him a superior pick relative to cost compared to other RBs with similar ADP.
08/26 High (100%) Author suggested that if he had drafted Keon Coleman he could have taken Austin Ekeler later (Round 9) — implies Ekeler remains a high-value RB target in the middle-to-late rounds when available.
08/26 High Fitzmaurice repeatedly targets Ekeler in drafts — expects him to play passing-down snaps and pick up some early-down work. He’s not the elite fantasy star of his peak years but offers strong PPR value and should exceed his modest cost.
08/23 Medium (100%) Projected to be Washington’s passing-down/change-of-pace back — a safer but lower-upside role. In PPR formats he has value and can be drafted as early as Round 9, but age (30) and limited upside cap his ceiling.
08/22 Medium (100%) Listed as part of the Commanders backfield; not a bad late-round pick given role but currently drafting behind Croskey-Merritt — useful value pick later in drafts.
08/22 High Good late-round target — can see more volume with Brian Robinson gone in Washington example used; has shown ability to produce when given opportunity and strong PPR value; suggested as a round-9 target in full PPR drafts.
08/22 Medium (100%) Projected to split early-down and red-zone work with rookie Croskey-Merritt; expected to land in mid-to-low RB3 tier in PPR drafts, so view as a midrange RB target rather than high-end RB2.
08/17 High (100%) SportsLine model labels Ekeler a top sleeper despite a crowded Commanders backfield. He was productive when healthy in 2024 (double-digit PPR in 8 of 12 games) and showed RB1 upside in games when Brian Robinson Jr. was injured (134 scrimmage yards, 3 TDs across two games). The model ranks him ahead of RBs (J.K. Dobbins, Quinshon Judkins) who are being taken earlier in ADP — implying buy-low value and upside if Robinson misses time.
08/15 Medium (51%) Safest role in the Commanders' RB room after two concussions last season; still a strong pass catcher but likely reduced workload. Good safety pick but limited upside due to workload management.
08/15 Low (100%) Only $8 PPR auction value in article — signals reduced value in PPR formats (offense change/injury risk); prefer to wait on him or target in late rounds if cheap.
08/12 Low (100%) RB48 and No. 140 overall—rankings signal a late-round flier only in Non-PPR; better prioritize earlier RB options.
08/12 High (100%) Ranked No. 10 handcuff behind Brian Robinson Jr. Pass‑catching chops give standalone PPR flex value plus big upside if BRob misses time.
08/05 Low Drafted late and ended up in a backup role in Washington, indicating a high risk, low reward scenario.
08/05 Medium The Chargers' offense showed potential and might improve further. However, Ekeler's role in a distributed backfield may cap his draft value at a medium priority.
08/05 Medium (63%) Against a tough Eagles defense, Ekeler remains a valuable draft pick due to his role in the passing game and his reasonable price, providing good value despite the challenging matchup.
08/05 High (79%) Austin Ekeler finished 11th in the NFL in return yards (594) last season, adding significant value in leagues that reward return yardage, increasing his versatility and point potential beyond his running back duties.
08/01 Medium (100%) Austin Ekeler remains the Commanders' primary pass-catching back, making him valuable in PPR leagues. Despite some rushing limitations, his role in the passing game keeps his draft stock steady.

Draft Priority Medium3

Draft him in the middle-to-late rounds as a cheap pick — he can make plays in the Rams' passing game but has a groin issue and lots of competition. Don't start him now; keep him on your bench as a long-term hold. Want 6 more details?
