“Okonkwo has been a per-route metric darling in previous seasons, so with better quarterback play in 2026 tied to Jayden Daniels , I wouldn’t be surprised if he recaptures some of that magic.”

“Two early draft targets are Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts.”

“Diggs should catch a ton of quick-hitters from Jayden Daniels , and if he plays anywhere close to how he did with the Patriots in 2025, he’s going to smash.”

“While everyone had high hopes for McLaurin in 2025, injuries to him and Jayden Daniels ruined his season.”

“Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS) ADP: 59 | (QB5) He has the talent to bounce back after an injury-plagued season last year, but he’s being priced at his ceiling. Despite finishing QB5 in PPR fantasy points per game, a lot of it had to do with his rushing.”

“As long as Jayden Daniels can remain healthy, this should be a formidable offense”

“Going from Cam Ward to Jayden Daniels this year is an upgrade at the quarterback position, which only strengthens his chances at cracking the top 12”

When he was healthy, Daniels was a far less efficient passer than he had been in 2024, averaging only 6.7 yards per pass attempt and completing 60.6% of his throws in 2025 (down from 7.4 YPA and a 69.0% completion rate as a rookie).”

“Stevenson bested rookie TreVeyon Henderson in every meaningful efficiency metric last season, and drafters are treating him as the lead back accordingly.”

“TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE) All offseason, TreVeyon Henderson was drafted several spots ahead of Rhamondre Stevenson , but the gap has narrowed significantly.”

“” – Ryan Linkletter ( Blitz Sports Media ) TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE) “I didn’t think I would be taking much TreVeyon Henderson , but at an RB26 ranking, it’s hard to find more talented players or those with more upside. Henderson is being called by many the bust of the year already, and he does have some risk, but so do Tuten, Warren, and Price, who may be bench players at the end of the year.”

“The two-man committee in New England hasn’t changed from last season, with Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson sharing the load. Stevenson saw nearly a 60% snap share last season, with Henderson around 46%. I see the first half of the season following a similar trend, with Stevenson as the 1A and Henderson as the 1B.”

“He does have TreVeyon Henderson to compete with for carries, but reports out of camp are that he’s struggling with pass protection.”

“TreVeyon Henderson, Trevor Lawrence, Jaxson Dart – 9 T6”

“Coming back around, I opted for TreVeyon Henderson. Of course, Rhamondre Stevenson is still on the roster, but Henderson out-carried him 180-130 (48.5% to 35%) and averaged 5.1 yards per carry. To add, he caught 35 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown.”

“Including the playoffs, Treveyon Henderson scored no more than 8.2 PPR points in six of his last seven games.”

“When Jason’s pick came, he admitted he was purposefully unhelpful in Andy’s decision-making game because he himself wanted Etienne, but settled for TreVeyon Henderson, who he considered taking in the previous round.”

“Henderson could eat into Stevenson’s workload more in 2026 if he can take another step and payoff as an RB2, but he ‘s best viewed as an upside RB3.”

“For RB2, the cutoffs land at TreVeyon Henderson and Tony Pollard respectively.”
