Trayvon Henderson flashed early as Cincinnati’s space-specialist back, catching three passes for 12 yards and scoring on a kickoff return to start the game, underscoring a multi-faceted threat in a backfield that is shifting toward manufactured touches. Ramondre Stevenson will still be the engine for New England, but Henderson’s burst could push him into a larger role if the Patriots lean into playmaking in space. Denver’s RJ Harvey seized the Broncos’ RB2 role with seven carries for 25 yards and a grab, signaling a potential Week 1 contributor behind a strong line. Jacksonville’s Brenton Strange and New Orleans’ Kendrick Miller showed pass-catching chops that could unlock TE and back-end fantasy value in two-tight end or committee looks. Miami’s Jaylen Wright emerged behind De’Von Achane as a reliable RB2, while Achane’s home-run ability keeps him fantasy-friendly in a growing Dolphins backfield. Minnesota’s Alexander Madison’s neck surgery shadows the depth chart, nudging Miller’s Saints workload higher if healthy. A connected thread runs through Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt in Kansas City, Elijah Mitchell in San Francisco, and a few veterans who could shift roles as camps evolve. The night’s note: track Henderson, Harvey, Wright, Achane, Strange, and Miller for early-season usage signals, while Kamara’s health and the KC backfield’s rotation remain pivotal fantasy barometers.
