Braelon Allen showed strong short-yardage chops for the New York Jets, hinting at reliable TD upside in 2025 as a late-round target. He’s positioned to hybridize between goal-line duty and early-down work behind fellow backs, offering a floor in standard formats amid a potential committee.

Trey Benson remains a prime handcuff for Arizona’s backfield, backing James Conner and presenting late-season or in-game upside if Conner misses time. The 2025 profile favors Benson as a practical dart throw in deeper leagues, with Conner absorbing the main workload unless injury opens Benson’s path.

The 2024 RB class underdelivered, with Bucky Irving standing out and Tyrone Tracy Jr. in prime starter contention. Several second-year backs could become meaningful backups, especially in offenses leaning into committee usage. ADP data from ESPN/Sleeper/Yahoo suggests a handful of late-round backs may carve value if roles crystallize and efficiency improves.
