"Hunter was selected by Rams in the fourth round of April's draft. He ranked top 4 in this class in both YAC (4.06) and forced missed tackle rate (3.2) last season and was sixth or better in both categories for his career. He didn't stand out as a receiver or at the combine, however, and could be limited to a two-down (and returner) role in the pros. Hunter will open his career behind feature back Kyren Williams and second-year Blake Corum, so he'll be worth adding in fantasy only if Williams misses time with an injury."


"Hunter made his regular-season debut Sunday after being a healthy scratch in Week 1, but he never got an opportunity to take the field on offense. Kyren Williams (17-66-0) and Blake Corum (5-44-1) handled the entire rushing load for the Rams, and given head coach Sean McVay's proclivity to feed Williams the vast majority of touches at running back over the past few seasons, Hunter will likely find it hard to make an impact this year barring an injury ahead of him on the depth chart."

"Mattison signed with the Dolphins, but a neck injury will cost him the entire 2025 season. This, after he failed to lock down lead back duties in Minnesota in 2023 and Las Vegas last season. Mattison had a few solid outings in 2024 (four games with 15-plus fantasy points), but he was limited to a situational role most of the year, only clearing 11 touches five times. Mattison's yards per carry plummeted to an ugly 3.2 last season and, while he's capable as a rusher and receiver (30-plus catches two season in arow), he's yet to show he's anything more than a competent backup. The 27-year-old will look to make a comeback in 2026."


"Mattison suffered a neck injury during Sunday's preseason tie against the Bears that required surgery, and it will cause him to miss the entire 2025 season. It's encouraging that the running back may return in 2026, though given that he inked only a one-year deal with Miami this offseason, it's likely that his next opportunity will come with another organization. With Mattison on IR, both second-year pro Jaylen Wright and rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon will benefit from a clearer path to touches behind starter De'Von Achane."
