Outlook Kaytron Allen
Third-String Role and Falling Draft Stock Keep Rookie on the Waiver Radar
Kaytron Allen enters his rookie campaign slotted as the third running back on Washington's depth chart behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White. Even with Jerome Ford sidelined on injured reserve, Allen faces a clear logjam for early-down and passing touches, leaving him with limited standalone value to open the season.
Our projections expect a minor reserve role for the rookie, estimating 30 carries for 125 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus three receptions for 26 receiving yards (22.0 fantasy points). Unless injuries create a path to meaningful work, his weekly floor is practically nonexistent in standard formats.
Fantasy drafters have cooled on Allen considerably. His draft cost has tumbled from an ADP of 182 in mid-July down to pick 229 by late August, while his roster rate has settled at 4%. At this declining price, he is strictly a late-round dynasty stash rather than a redraft target.

Outlook Cam Skattebo
Lead Workload Solidifies Breakout Appeal as Giants' Primary Runner
Cam Skattebo enters his second NFL season leading the Giants' backfield after putting last year's ankle injury behind him. While New York's depth chart remains crowded with Tyrone Tracy Jr. and recent signee Najee Harris, Skattebo has solidified his grasp on the primary early-down rushing role under head coach John Harbaugh.
Our models project him for a legitimate breakout, forecasting 1,000 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 230 attempts, supplemented by 25 receptions on 58 targets for an additional 225 yards and two scores (244.0 total fantasy points).
Market sentiment has surged accordingly; Skattebo's ADP has climbed from the late fourth round (pick 46) into the early fourth round at pick 41, while his roster rate sits near 96%. At this draft cost in PPR leagues, he offers dependable RB2 value with clear volume-driven upside.
