Sunday Late · Week 1

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 60/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Ollie Gordon II is listed RB3 on the Miami Dolphins depth chart behind De'Von Achane. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: No current injury notes available; availability is not independently confirmed.

Scouting: Big, physical between-the-tackles runner who gives Miami the short-yardage and goal-line element Achane and Wright do not. The likelier of the two backups to absorb a real early-down workload if Achane missed time.

Starter injury history: 2024: played all 17 games despite late-season rib and shoulder issues. 2025: 16 games (71% snap share, 1,838 scrimmage yards) — missed time in concussion protocol and then the finale with a shoulder injury after three straight missed practices. 2026 offseason: had that shoulder surgically 'cleaned up' per HC Jeff Hafley; healthy for camp.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 66/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Mike Washington Jr. is listed RB2 on the Las Vegas Raiders depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Chris Collier: Out (espn_rosters) Ashton Jeanty: Full Participation in Practice (unknown)

Scouting: Rookie who is the direct beneficiary of Jeanty's ankle — the Raiders said he would be counted on heavily until Jeanty returns. Early-down runner with no NFL sample; Las Vegas would use a committee rather than name him a bell cow.

Starter injury history: 2025 (rookie): played through the season, 266 carries for 975 yds and 55 catches for 346 yds — 1,321 scrimmage yards and 10 total TD, no long absence. 2026: helped off the practice field in late August with what was reported as a low (not high) ankle sprain; he missed the final preseason game and his Week 1 status was called day-to-day, with the team hopeful.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 76/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Tyler Allgeier is listed RB2 on the Arizona Cardinals depth chart behind Jeremiyah Love (Questionable). Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Trey Benson: Out (espn_rosters) Jeremiyah Love: Questionable; Limited Participation in Practice (espn_summary) James Conner: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: Thick, downhill early-down and short-yardage runner, four years as Bijan Robinson's complement in Atlanta. Listed RB1 on Arizona's Week 1 chart while Love recovers. Would be the between-the-tackles workhorse if Love missed time, but not a passing-down answer.

Starter injury history: No NFL history. 2026: high ankle sprain in an August preseason game vs. LV cost him the rest of the preseason; Cardinals hopeful for the 9/13 opener. Durable in college (1,372 rush yds, 21 total TD, Heisman finalist in final Notre Dame season).

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 63/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Kimani Vidal is listed RB3 on the Los Angeles Chargers depth chart behind Omarion Hampton. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Scott Matlock: Out (espn_rosters) Keaton Mitchell: Full Participation in Practice (unknown)

Scouting: Compact, tough runner with reliable vision who put up 643 rush yds and three TD filling in for Hampton — proof he can handle real volume. Offers passing-game utility Mitchell does not, making him the likelier lead back if Hampton's ankles act up again.

Starter injury history: 2025 (rookie): fractured his left ankle in Week 5 and went on IR, missing eight games; later a right ankle sprain cost him another full game and most of a second — seven to eight games lost in total, finishing with 737 scrimmage yards and five TD in 10 games. 2026: healthy through camp with no reported setbacks.

Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 68/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Chris Brooks is listed RB2 on the Green Bay Packers depth chart behind MarShawn Lloyd. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Josh Jacobs: Out (espn_rosters) Pierre Strong Jr.: Questionable (espn_rosters)

Scouting: Big, straight-line backup who is the most experienced healthy body in a suddenly thin room. Would handle early downs and short yardage in a committee if Lloyd's injury history resurfaces, but he is a replacement-level runner.

Starter injury history: 2024: played one game as a rookie (six carries); ankle sprain in Week 2 cost him six games, plus an appendectomy — four IR stints across two years. 2025: did not play at all — placed on IR/designated to return with a hamstring on Aug. 26, activated Dec. 17, then back on IR Dec. 19 with a second hamstring injury. 2026: healthy through camp and named the starter with Jacobs unavailable.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 83/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Jordan Mason is listed RB2 on the Minnesota Vikings depth chart behind Aaron Jones Sr.. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Demond Claiborne: Inactive (espn_summary) Jermar Jefferson: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: Powerful, decisive early-down runner listed as co-starter and trending toward the larger share — projections have the split near 50-50 and he may take the goal-line work outright. With Jones' hamstring history, Mason is the man who would carry a full lead workload in Minnesota.

Starter injury history: 2024: healthy, 1,138 rush yds and 408 rec yds. 2025: hamstring injury in Week 2 vs. ATL sent him to injured reserve and cost him at least four games; he returned in Week 8 and then exited the Week 9 win over DET with another injury, finishing with only 160 touches. Long career pattern of MCL, hamstring, knee and calf issues, and he turns 32 this season.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 70/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Rachaad White is listed RB2 on the Washington Commanders depth chart behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Jeremy McNichols: Out (espn_rosters) Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Limited Participation in Practice (unknown)

Scouting: Veteran with a proven 250-touch season on his résumé who slots in as Washington's third-down and passing-game back. Genuinely three-down capable and the clear beneficiary if Croskey-Merritt's soft-tissue issues linger — the most reliable handcuff in this room.

Starter injury history: 2025 (rookie): played all 17 games — 175 carries, 805 yds (4.6), 8 TD. 2026 has been rockier: missed OTAs with a soft-tissue injury, day-to-day with a groin in camp, then pulled up with a lower-body injury Aug. 20 that cost him the last two preseason games. Limited in early-September practice but expected to play Week 1 vs. PHI.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 74/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Tank Bigsby is listed RB2 on the Philadelphia Eagles depth chart behind Saquon Barkley. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: No current injury notes available; availability is not independently confirmed.

Scouting: Acquired from Jacksonville for fifth- and sixth-round picks specifically as Barkley insurance. Efficient, physical downhill runner with proven lead-back production — widely rated a league-winning handcuff who would take a full early-down workload behind this offensive line.

Starter injury history: Available for essentially all of the last three seasons — a 2,000-yard 2024 and 280 carries in 2025 with no multi-game absence in Philadelphia; upgraded from DNP to full participation on a December 2025 report. 2026 camp: left foot/ankle checked by trainers in August, returned to practice the same day. Bumped for age 29 and a 480-touch 2024 including the Super Bowl run.
