NegativeDepth ChartAug 21, 2026
Roman Hemby, signed as an undrafted free agent, is a roster bubble candidate for the Raiders' 53-man roster; he could be cut depending on the team's wide receiver needs and whether they keep four or five tailbacks.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
Hemby gained 4 pounds (207 to 211) during 2026 training camp; modest weight gain may reflect conditioning or role adjustment.PositiveDepth ChartAug 3, 2026
Hemby is positioned to receive more attention than initially discussed as a potential RB2 option. Coming off a 2025 season with 230 attempts, 1,120 yards, and 7 touchdowns (career highs outside of TDs), he has shown the ability to be a good receiver and capable runningback. If fourth-round pick Mike Washington Jr. struggles with ball security and self-creation early, there is a strong chance Hemby or Dylan Laube get a chance into the RB2 role.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Rookie competing with fourth-round pick Mike Washington Jr. for the RB2 role; Hemby offers receiving upside with nearly 130 catches and over 1,000 receiving yards over four years in college, though Washington also has receiving production with 73 grabs for 470 yards.NegativeDepth ChartJul 28, 2026
The Raiders signed the Indiana UDFA RB during the offseason as part of their depth-building efforts in the running back room behind Ashton Jeanty.PositiveRoleJul 25, 2026
Hemby, a 2026 undrafted free agent from Indiana, brings intriguing size and physicality (6-foot, 210 pounds) that distinguishes him from Laube and Collier; recorded 230 carries for 1,120 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2025 plus 17 receptions for 165 yards and 9 kick returns for 203 yards. Hemby is a decisive, violent runner who thrives in both gap and zone schemes, excels between the tackles, and provides value as a pass protector and pass catcher. His physical power-running profile aligns with Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak's wide/outside zone scheme adapted with gap/power elements (similar to Seahawks system). Hemby's best path to the 53-man roster is displaying prowess in both special teams and offensive roles; viable that he slots in as RB3 behind Jeanty and Washington.
