The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are expected to waive undrafted free agent running back Anthony Hankerson; according to his agents, Hankerson is hoping to go unclaimed and clear waivers in order to return to college and enter the transfer portal. Hankerson originally signed with the Miami Dolphins after going undrafted but was waived in early August, then signed with the Seahawks a week prior. With college football now effectively being professional sports teams attached to a university, Hankerson plans to enter the transfer portal and return to college football rather than pursue an NFL roster spot.

The source prioritizes Anthony Henderson over Rhamondre Stevenson due to superior explosiveness and receiving upside. Henderson is identified as the more explosive player with higher ceiling potential in the receiving game, capable of accumulating significant receptions and reaching top-15 status if he secures a split or improves in pass protection, whereas Stevenson has less upside in his profile despite being the current starter.

Undrafted free agent recently released by Miami Dolphins worked out with Seahawks over the weekend; originally transferred to Oregon State from Colorado and became first Beavers running back since Jacquizz Rodgers to record back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons; was main Oregon State replacement for former Seahawks draft pick Damien Martinez (now on Green Bay Packers); had received Seahawks minicamp invite after draft before signing with Miami; highly likely to be camp/preseason fodder with chance for practice squad consideration.

NegativeValueAug 7, 2026Ron Stewart
Ron Stewart is lukewarm on Anthony Henderson, ranking him as an early fifth-round option. Stewart notes Henderson is difficult to evaluate alongside Montgomery and Swift, who look like dead-zone options but could both pay off. Stewart prefers Kyren Williams decisively over Henderson. However, Stewart also views Henderson as an upside swing in the Patriots offense with breakaway ability and receiving game skills; expects year-two improvement in blocking and sees him as a potential massive step forward with explosive element. Stewart drafts Rhamondre Stevenson as a hedge on the same backfield, noting Rhamondre's efficiency has bounced up and down.

NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Henderson's rookie season was inflated by two monster games accounting for 29.2% of his overall fantasy production; removing those games would have made him RB33 in PPG. Without Stevenson in Weeks 9-11, Henderson averaged 19 touches and 110 total yards, but with Stevenson active, he had only 11.2 touches and 57.2 total yards per game. Henderson was bested by Stevenson in every efficiency metric: explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, yards after contact per attempt, yards per route run, and pass protection. Among 49 qualifying backs, Henderson ranked 12th in explosive run rate but 32nd in missed tackle rate and 42nd in yards after contact per attempt. He is best viewed as an upside RB3 and unlikely to overtake Stevenson in 2026 unless he takes a significant step forward.

The source projects Henderson to take a leap in year two after flashing speed and skill as a rookie. His confidence was identified as his biggest hindrance late in the year, which the coaching staff should improve. With the team bringing in fullback Reggie Gilliam and Henderson needing to prove improvement in pass protection and receiving, the source expects him to end up getting the lion's share of snaps and touches out of the backfield for New England in 2026, suggesting a path to lead-back status.

The source projects Henderson to take a leap in year two after flashing speed and skill as a rookie. His confidence was identified as his biggest hindrance late in the year, which the coaching staff can improve. With the team bringing in fullback Reggie Gilliam, there's reason to believe Henderson ends up getting the lion's share of snaps and touches out of the backfield for New England in 2026, though he must first prove improvement in needed areas before leapfrogging the six-year veteran Stevenson.
