Jim Moorman· Aug 24, 2026
Moorman breaks down expected committee backfields for 2026, predicting New England keeps Stevenson as the 1A over Henderson early (while preferring Henderson in drafts), Rico Dowdle taking over early-down work in Pittsburgh, Rachaad White reaching 60+ catches in Washington, D'Andre Swift finishing as an RB2, and Jonathon Brooks outproducing Chuba Hubbard in Carolina.
“He's almost a lock to finish as an RB2 this season, so if you're looking for affordable running back production, he's your guy.”
