"Nailor played a slightly larger role in the Vikings' offense in the final year of his rookie contract after having a small breakout in 2024. He posted similar numbers, however, due to a dip in efficiency. That decline was probably mostly a product of general dysfunction in a Vikings passing offense that went from sixth in the league in yards in 2024 to 29th in 2025. He'll become a free agent this offseason, and he has further demonstrated that he can at least be a credible deep threat even if he's not a very physically-imposing one."

"The Bengals selected Brooks in the sixth round of April's draft. Brooks soaked up 879 carries during his five-year collegiate tenure, which is the most in this year's rookie class. The Texas Tech product ran for 1,500-plus yards in both 2023 and 2024 and also caught at least 27 passes each of the past three seasons. He's strong and quick with decent size. Brooks figures to begin his career buried behind lead back Chase Brown, as well as complementary option Samaje Perine."


"Brooks didn't come into the game until late, with Joe Flacco at the helm and the Bengals protecting a four-score lead. He's had scant work all season as the Bengals' third running back."

"The No. 12 overall pick back in 2022, Williams finally broke out last season after barely seeing the field his first two years in the league due to suspensions and injuries. The explosive playmaker was involved as both a rusher and receiver, which helped him to 1,062 scrimmage yards (18th among WRs) and eight TDs in 15 games. A top-7 finisher in YPR, YPT and RAC, Williams finished 25th at the position in fantasy PPG despite sitting outside the top 40 in targets and catches. A boost in volume will be important to Williams' consistency moving forward, but the 24-year-old will continue to benefit from Detroit's high-scoring offense. No lower than third in target priority, Williams is best valued as a fringe WR3 who very well could take another step forward in his second "full" season."


"Williams played second fiddle to Amon-Ra St. Brown -- who finished with an 11-139-0 line on 15 targets -- but the former managed to close out a career-best season with another solid performance. Williams finally evolved into a well-rounded No. 2 receiver during the second half of the campaign, allowing him to finish with new career highs in receptions (65) and receiving yards (1,117) while also tying a career-best figure in receiving touchdowns (seven) across 17 games. Williams should reprise his role in 2026 alongside St. Brown on the heels of back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns."

"Harvey was selected by Denver in the second round of April's draft. He is on the small side (5-foot-8, 205 pounds), but he plays tough and is productive, having run for 10-plus yards on a class-best 23% of his carries last season. Size and age (24) concerns aside, he showed well at the combine, including a 4.40 40, 38-inch vertical and 127-inch broad jump. Harvey's landing spot is very good, as fellow newcomer J.K. Dobbins is his primary competition for work. The duo may split carries, but Harvey is a good bet to emerge as the primary receiving back, which is notable in a Sean Payton offense that often leans heavily on RBs in the passing game. Harvey is a fringe RB2 target, but there's upside for even more."


"Harvey was bottled up from the get-go Sunday, averaging less than 2.0 yards per carry while failing to make an impact as a receiver. The rookie's poor performance was compounded by his inability to extend the five-game scoring streak he entered the contest with. Harvey put together a strong fantasy campaign with 896 combined yards from scrimmage and 12 total touchdowns across 17 games. The 2025 second-round pick started the year as a backup and took over for J.K. Dobbins (knee) as the starter in Week 11 after the latter was placed on injured reserve. Harvey should continue leading Denver's backfield when the AFC's No. 1 seed resumes play in the divisional round of the playoffs."

"Marks was selected by Houston in the fourth round of April's draft. He was a pass-catching machine during his collegiate career, posting a 261-1,546-5 receiving line on 317 targets, more than doubling the next-closest back in routes, targets and catches. On the other hand, he ranked near the bottom of this RB class in YAC and forced missed tackle rate last season and during his career, including a career 2.41 YAC, which is easily worst in this class. Marks underwhelmed across the board at the combine, including a 4.54 40. The 24-year-old will immediately compete with Nick Chubb, Dare Ogunbowale and Dameon Pierce for touches while lead back Joe Mixon is sidelined (minimum four games). Marks is worth a flier in the late rounds of deep leagues."


"The Texans wound up sitting many of their starters, including Marks, in the second half as their chances of winning the AFC South slipped away in Jacksonville. As a result, British Brooks led the team with 63 rushing yards. Marks didn't take on a significant role in the Houston offense until Week 4, but the 2025 fourth-round pick still wrapped up his first NFL season with 911 scrimmage yards and five total TDs (two rushing, three receiving) over 16 games. He'll lead the Texans backfield into a wild-card clash with the winner of Sunday's night's AFC North battle between the Ravens and Steelers."

"Johnson presumably sustained the injury at some point in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets, but the ankle issue didn't get in the way of the veteran running back turning in his best fantasy performance of the season. With the Bills resting several key players Week 18 -- including lead back James Cook, who played just two snaps -- Johnson and fellow backup Ray Davis took full advantage of the extra opportunities afforded to them. Johnson carried 13 times for 36 yards -- both season highs -- and a touchdown and chipped in two catches for 20 yards and another score on two targets. Assuming he can move past the ankle injury in advance of Sunday's wild-card game in Jacksonville, Johnson should continue to fill an important change-of-pace role behind Cook, though Johnson likely won't come close to matching the touch volume he received in the regular-season finale."
