Rostered in under 1% of ESPN leagues when this board was built. Your league may differ; if he is taken, check the rest of the stable for a lower-rostered back.

Tyler Goodson is listed RB2 on the Dallas Cowboys depth chart behind Javonte Williams. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Malik Davis: Out (espn_rosters)

Starter injury history: 2024: full season in Denver coming back from the 2022 multi-ligament knee injury. 2025 (DAL): played 16 games, 1,201 rush yds and 11 TD on 252 carries, then finished the year on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Expected fully healthy for 2026; did not play in the preseason.

Rostered in 52% of ESPN leagues when this board was built. Your league may differ; if he is taken, check the rest of the stable for a lower-rostered back.

Woody Marks is listed RB2 on the Houston Texans depth chart behind David Montgomery. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

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

Scouting: Led Houston in rushing as a rookie (196 carries, 703 yds) when injuries forced him between the tackles, and now slides back to his natural pass-catching role. Split camp reps nearly evenly with Montgomery and has already proven he can carry the load — a strong handcuff.

Starter injury history: 2024: torn MCL vs. BUF on Dec. 15 cost him the final three regular-season games (he declined surgery, rehabbed and returned for the divisional round). 2025: finished the season with Detroit. Age 29 with a heavy career touch count, and knee/shoulder issues have cropped up repeatedly across his career.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 69/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Rostered in 33% of ESPN leagues when this board was built. Your league may differ; if he is taken, check the rest of the stable for a lower-rostered back.

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

Backfield news: Trey Benson: Out (espn_rosters) James Conner: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: Out-snapped the No. 3 overall pick 41-32 in Week 1 and led the backfield with 17 carries for 61 yards plus 2 catches, taking the late-game clock-killing work. A thick downhill early-down runner, not a passing-down answer - but he is a genuine threat to Love's volume, not just a handcuff.

Starter injury history: No NFL injury history before 2026. Left high ankle sprain in the Aug. preseason game vs. LV cost him the rest of the preseason; he was a game-time decision but active for the Sep. 13 opener. Mike LaFleur said Love was not on a snap count in Week 1. Durable at Notre Dame (1,372 rush yards, 21 total TD, Heisman finalist).

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

Rostered in 6% of ESPN leagues when this board was built. Your league may differ; if he is taken, check the rest of the stable for a lower-rostered back.

Najee Harris is listed RB2 on the New York Giants depth chart behind Cam Skattebo. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

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

Scouting: Material change: Harris was a healthy scratch for Week 1 (Sept. 13) as the Giants dressed Skattebo, Tracy and Singletary. His track record of 250-plus-carry seasons still makes him the most proven lead back in the room, but he is currently fourth in line and must earn his way back into the rotation. Not a usable redraft hold yet.

Starter injury history: 2025 (rookie): right ankle dislocation with an open tibia fracture and ruptured deltoid ligament in late October, ending his season and requiring surgery. 2026: returned without reported setbacks, listed atop the depth chart in late August and active for Week 1 on Sept. 13. No 2026 injury designation reported.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 78/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Rostered in 75% of ESPN leagues when this board was built. Your league may differ; if he is taken, check the rest of the stable for a lower-rostered back.

Blake Corum is listed RB2 on the Los Angeles Rams depth chart behind Kyren Williams. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Ronnie Rivers: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: The premium handcuff in the NFL: Kyren Williams rarely splits work evenly, so an injury would hand Corum a true every-down role in one of the league's best offenses. Already carving out a timeshare on merit — durable, decisive and trusted on all three downs.

Starter injury history: 2023: high ankle sprain (his second in two years) cost him four games on IR. 2024: played every game but the meaningless finale, when McVay rested starters. 2025: 295 touches across all 17 games, including an in-game ankle scare vs. CAR in late November that did not cost him a start. Two clean seasons after an injury-marred start to his career.

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 specifically as Barkley insurance and the room's designated lead-back replacement: an efficient, physical downhill runner with proven starter production, now behind a much better line. His own abdominal issue is minor enough that he was practicing again by Friday of Week 3. Premium handcuff.

Starter injury history: Durable across three Philadelphia seasons: a 2,000-yard 2024 and 280 carries in 2025 with no multi-game absence. 2026: left-arm stinger on the first offensive snap of the Sept. 20 win over Tennessee (date-only report); he returned in that game, an MRI came back positive, and he practiced in full on Friday, Sept. 25 (date-only report). No games missed.

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

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

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

Scouting: Won the starting job with Jacobs on the exempt list and led the room in carries in Week 1 vs. MIN (13 for 37 yards), but played 30 snaps to Chris Brooks' 37 and does not hold passing downs. Real early-down talent inside a live committee; the availability record remains the central risk.

Starter injury history: No significant reported injury absences. His lack of usage in 2025 and in Week 1 of 2026 reflects role and performance, not health.

Kenny Gainwell is listed RB2 on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers depth chart behind Bucky Irving. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

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

Scouting: Signed to be a genuine 1A/1B with Irving and expected to split touches close to evenly. Reliable in protection and as a receiver, and with Irving's 2025 injury history he is the obvious man to absorb a full workload — though he has never carried one for long.

Starter injury history: 2025: missed seven games with a shoulder subluxation and a foot/ankle sprain, and was visibly hampered when he did play — 588 rush yds, one rushing TD, 3.4 YPC in 10 games. Offseason shoulder surgery had Todd Bowles warning he might not be back until 'summer or fall.' 2026: fully healed, no restrictions at the start of camp and taking first-team reps.

Nicholas Singleton is listed RB3 on the Tennessee Titans depth chart behind Tony Pollard. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

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

Scouting: Stock moved this week: with Pollard and Spears both missing practice Wed., Sept. 23, a Sept. 23 fantasy item (date-only) put Singleton in line for a sizable workload and called him a bench stash if they sit. Home-run speed, early-down profile, unproven in protection. The hold is contingent on the two ankles above him, neither of which has a stated timetable.

Starter injury history: Ankle: did not practice Wed., Sept. 23 (Titans report) ahead of the Giants game; no return timetable stated. Sept. 23 fantasy item (date-only) called it soreness unlikely to cost him the game. Listed Questionable. History: all 17 starts in 2025, 242 car/1,082 yds/5 TD, fourth straight 1,000-yd year; minor foot/ankle issues, missed Week 17 (flu plus ankle). Age 29, heavy career workload.

Justice Hill is listed RB2 on the Baltimore Ravens depth chart behind Derrick Henry. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Adam Randall: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: Baltimore's passing-down back and Lamar Jackson's trusted protector, described by the team as a runner, receiver and blocker who spells Henry rather than replacing him. Henry's 26-carry Week 3 shows the split is unchanged. If Henry missed time Hill would keep passing downs and share early work, not inherit a 15-carry role.

Starter injury history: Played all 17 games in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 (2025: 307 carries, 1,595 yds, 16 TD). Has not missed a game to injury since a broken foot cost him nine games in 2021. Elevated only for age 32 and repeated 300-plus-carry seasons. Healthy and off the injury report through Week 3 of 2026.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 81/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

TreVeyon Henderson is listed RB2 on the New England Patriots depth chart behind Rhamondre Stevenson. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Myles Montgomery: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: Explosive, big-play second-year back who earned a workhorse role once Stevenson got hurt in 2025. Pass-protection struggles are the one thing holding him back from the full job, and an ankle has him out for Week 1 — but he is the highest-upside back in this room.

Starter injury history: 2024: foot injury cost him Week 6 vs. HOU and limited him in practice at other points. 2025: turf toe suffered in the Week 8 win over CLE cost him at least three straight games (out Weeks 9-11) and limited him to 14 games, though he still dominated snaps in a four-game postseason run. 2026: healthy and listed as the starter, and he draws a bigger Week 1 role with Henderson out.

Ray Davis is listed RB3 on the Buffalo Bills depth chart behind James Cook III. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

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

Scouting: Compact, physical back who slipped behind Ty Johnson on the 2026 chart but is still the likelier man to take the RB1 role if Cook missed time — he can handle early downs, short yardage and pass protection, where Johnson is a specialist.

Starter injury history: Largely durable in 2023-2025; Buffalo leaned on him more heavily in 2025 (roughly a 57% snap share) without a multi-game injury absence. Occasional in-season knocks but no chronic issue.

Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 75/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Braelon Allen is listed RB2 on the New York Jets depth chart behind Breece Hall (Questionable). Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Chip Trayanum: Out (espn_rosters) Breece Hall: Questionable (espn_rosters) Kene Nwangwu: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: The clear handcuff behind Hall and a genuine part of the rotation: 10 carries for 40 yards on 27 snaps in Week 1 and a short rushing touchdown in Week 2, with New York giving him meaningful short-yardage and goal-line work. Big enough to carry early downs and capable in protection, so he would head the committee if Hall missed time, though Davis would take a share.

Starter injury history: 2022: torn ACL. 2024: played through a knee injury, missing one game. 2025: healthy, career-high 1,065 rushing yards. 2026: August groin strain, back for Week 1. Sept. 27 vs. Detroit: grabbed his right thigh after a fourth-quarter tackle near the goal line and was ruled out with a thigh/quad injury; he said he expected an MRI Monday. No diagnosis or return timetable as of Sept. 28.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 65/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Kyle Monangai is listed RB2 on the Chicago Bears depth chart behind D'Andre Swift. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

Backfield news: Brittain Brown: Out (espn_rosters)

Scouting: Tough, compact second-year back who won the RB2 job outright and is the clear next man up in Chicago. Would carry a real early-down and short-yardage load if Swift missed time, with the knee the only near-term question.

Starter injury history: 2025: appeared in and started 16 games, no injury absence — career year with 1,087 rush yds on 223 carries (4.9), 34 catches, 10 total TD. 2026 camp: left one practice with what was reported as a cramp, not a core injury, and returned to practice in early September.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is listed RB2 on the Jacksonville Jaguars depth chart behind Bhayshul Tuten. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

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

Scouting: Free-agent signing listed as a co-starter with Tuten after taking near-equal camp reps. A downhill, physical early-down and short-yardage runner who would absorb heavy carries if Tuten went down, but not a passing-down back.

Starter injury history: No significant reported injury absences; played his full 2025 rookie season behind Travis Etienne and has been healthy through 2026 camp.

Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 51/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

Tahj Brooks is listed RB3 on the Cincinnati Bengals depth chart behind Chase Brown. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.

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

Scouting: Compact, powerful second-year back seen as a short-yardage option if he cracks the rotation. The most likely early-down fill-in behind Brown, but unproven with almost no NFL volume.

Starter injury history: 2025: played all 17 games with no injury absence, setting or matching career highs across the board (1,456 scrimmage yds, 11 total TD). Has cleared 225 carries in back-to-back seasons without missing time.
