The Patriots are ecstatic over TreVeyon Henderson, according to Jeff Howe of the Athletic. Howe writes that Henderson has a good chance of turning into their lead option. Given how great Henderson is, and that Rhamondre Stevenson was benched twice last year, there’s a good chance Henderson will be the primary back in the second half of the season.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 940 rushing yards. 70 catches. 630 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 226.

Najee Harris is likely to miss the first four games of the year, according to the Athletic. The Chargers general manager recently said that he expects Harris to play in Week 1, but that sounded like nonsense because Harris was only cleared to jog a few weeks ago.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 1,090 rushing yards. 35 catches. 280 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 223.

The 49ers told us that Christian McCaffrey was questionable for Week 1 with a calf injury. Yet, he played just four games all year because of an Achilles. McCaffrey could bounce back, but he’s also on the older side (29), so there’s a chance he may never be the same again.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 910 rushing yards. 65 catches. 490 receiving yards. 13 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 218.

Jonathan Taylor is actually helped by Anthony Richardson because opposing defenses can’t focus on just stopping him on the ground.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 1,320 rushing yards. 18 catches. 140 receiving yards. 12 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 218.

Chuba Hubbard had a great season. He won’t be challenged by Jonathon Brooks either because of the latest torn ACL.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 1,220 rushing yards. 30 catches. 180 receiving yards. 12 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 212.

James Cook scoed a ridiculous 16 rushing touchdowns last year. That is bound to regress to the mean.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 1,000 rushing yards. 38 catches. 320 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 186.

Kenneth Walker missed six games last year. He also missed the talented interior blockers because he didn’t have quality running lanes.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 930 rushing yards. 52 catches. 350 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 182.

D’Andre Swift somehow hasn’t missed any time over the past two years. He was solid for Chicago after a rough start. His offenisve line is much better, and the Bears didn’t draft a running back to take his job.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 1,020 rushing yards. 38 catches. 330 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 177.

R.J. Harvey played in the preseason finale, while J.K. Dobbins sat. Harvey had a disappointing output. He barely got any yardage on his four touches, as he once again displayed poor running vision. Even worse, he rotated with Tyler Badie. This is an indication that Harvey won’t be the sole ball-carrier if Dobbins were to suffer another injury.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 880 rushing yards. 48 catches. 410 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 171.

Breece Hall received just 50 percent of the starter snaps in the preseason. Specifically, he did not play any third downs. While this may not mean a whole lot because it’s only one game, Aaron Glenn has been talking about having a multi-back rotation.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 840 rushing yards. 49 catches. 370 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 169.
