Feel It or F--It 8.31.26 with Bob Harris and Matt Waldman

Number three running back on the depth chart; team retained him and believes he has made strides, suggesting confidence in his role within the backfield rotation.

The Cleveland Browns rookie tight end made the roster and is being held by the source; he may be used in a fullback role or other positions to get on the field more often given his receiving skills; the source views him as the best backup option if Harold Fannon gets hurt and considers him worth monitoring on waivers in tight end premium leagues.

Expected to form a backfield tandem with Marshon Lloyd in Las Vegas. Brooks is better in pass protection than Lloyd and will likely be the third-down back. Matt Waldman RSP Film Room projects Brooks could receive a third to almost half of the touches depending on how well Lloyd performs and stays healthy; he's described as a "good doubles hitter" who fits the Raiders' between-the-tackles running scheme, positioning him as a waiverwire watch list candidate with meaningful role upside.

Has played well in Denver's tight end rotation, but ceiling is limited. The source notes that Ingram 'probably played really well' and Denver 'knows what they got in Tropman,' indicating Ingram is viewed as a solid depth option rather than a featured target. Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reported that Ingram 'has looked okay,' and the source concludes 'I think that's all Ingram's ever going to look,' suggesting modest expectations for his fantasy upside.

Late-round floor play (RB68 ADP) with defined role that provides safety against zero-point weeks. George Helani played well enough last year and heading into training camp to be listed as the number one guy on the depth chart, indicating the team knows what they have in him as a depth piece. He offers predictable usage and opportunity, making him a reliable late-round selection for those prioritizing floor over upside, contrasting with speculative ceiling plays like James Connor.

Has performed well and may end up taking over the Seahawks backfield role, particularly given Charbonnet's injury recovery uncertainty and lack of season incentive. The source's positive assessment of Price's performance suggests he could emerge as a viable fantasy option if Charbonnet remains unavailable or ineffective.

Placed on the short-term injured reserve list and has not practiced. Matt Waldman RSP Film Room recommends against drafting him in late rounds because he is an aging veteran with two other backs ahead of him, and holding him for five weeks during peak waiverwire season is not worth the roster spot when he won't play. However, the source suggests a speculative add strategy: wait for practice reports indicating recovery progress, then add him a week or two before expected return to field rather than holding throughout recovery. Connor is currently going as RB71 and offers superior draft flexibility compared to Zack Charbonnet (RB50)—if he doesn't produce, you can hit the waiver wire at week five or six with an easy exit, whereas Charbonnet requires a full-season hold if drafted.

Placed on the commissioner's exempt list after being charged with a pair of misdemeanors with a hearing scheduled for November 17th. Matt Waldman RSP Film Room suspects the league knows more than it's publicly revealing and notes that if information emerges before the hearing, it will likely be negative news. The source warns that Jacobs should be drafted at your own peril due to injury concerns; he doesn't seem likely to contribute for quite some time, making him a draft-day risk to avoid.

Brooks survived preseason cuts despite expectations he might be cut in favor of other running back profiles; the source was surprised by this roster decision, suggesting Brooks has earned enough confidence to contribute off the bench and on special teams.

Severe spinal injury with poor long-term prognosis for NFL return. Medical professionals and rehab specialists indicated years ago this would be a very difficult injury for Dell to recover from. While his ability to practice this year is an accomplishment, the likelihood of him returning to pre-injury form is small. Matt Waldman RSP Film Room notes the IR designation is exploratory to assess potential recovery over coming months, but realistic outlook is limited fantasy relevance.

Worth drafting as a late-round flyer in rounds 17–19, but injury recovery timeline and draft capital make him a risky hold. Knee injury occurred in January with surgery delayed until late February; the source projects he won't be fully ready until end of year or next year. Mike McDonald's optimistic public statements about being "way ahead of schedule" and potentially available week one don't align with reality; people covering the team daily remain skeptical. Even if he returns before November, it's a long shot. Additionally, Charbonnet is gone after this season, reducing his incentive to play on an uncomfortable knee. Unlike James Connor, holding Charbonnet requires commitment through the season with no easy exit; Connor is currently going as RB71 while Charbonnet goes as RB50, but the source would flip-flop those rankings, suggesting Connor is undervalued relative to Charbonnet's injury risk and opportunity cost.
