A rookie back repeatedly identified as a player who could earn useful early-season work.

Dylan Sampson RB · CLE
An upside reserve whose value could rise quickly if his early role is larger than expected.
What to watch: Monitor backfield rotation, routes, targets, and two-minute work.
Kayshon Boutte WR · NE
A receiver to track for an early route and target role in New England.
What to watch: Monitor routes per dropback, targets, and usage in scoring territory.
Tre Tucker WR · LV
A big-play receiver whose value depends on whether his opportunity becomes consistent enough for fantasy lineups.
What to watch: Monitor route participation and whether targets extend beyond low-volume deep shots.
Brenton Strange TE · JAX
A potential full-time tight end with an opportunity to emerge in a position where usable volume is scarce.
What to watch: Monitor snap share, routes, targets, and red-zone involvement.
AJ Barner TE · SEA
A young tight end worth tracking if his expanded late-2025 role carries into the new season.
