# Jim Moorman: 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. **Claimed:** Aug 24, 2026 **Pundit:** Jim Moorman — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jim-moorman **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/08/fantasy-football-evaluating-running-back-by-committees-2026/ 8 checkable claims — 3 depth chart calls, 3 fantasy rankings, 1 player season number and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 3. > 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. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **D'Andre Swift to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: D'Andre Swift, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **TreVeyon Henderson to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rachaad White to record 60 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Rachaad White, Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - “He's the back to roster of the three, but I'm not reaching to grab him.” - Kind: Fantasy Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - “I'd draft him ahead of Stevenson and hope for an expanded role as the season progresses.” - Kind: Fantasy Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rico Dowdle to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Rico Dowdle, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - “I would take Brooks ahead of Hubbard, despite him being a mystery box pick.” - Kind: Fantasy Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - D'Andre Swift — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/d-andre-swift - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - TreVeyon Henderson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/treveyon-henderson - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Rachaad White — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rachaad-white - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/commanders - Rico Dowdle — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rico-dowdle - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/steelers - Rhamondre Stevenson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rhamondre-stevenson ## What others said about the same people - Jordan Dajani on Washington Commanders: Dajani picks the Commanders to edge the Giants 21-20 on Thursday and the Chiefs to beat the Falcons 26-20 in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/46f7646f-2c64-4827-a522-67975af79fb6 (scored 95.24) - Tyler Sullivan on Washington Commanders: Sullivan takes the Commanders 24-21 over the Giants on Thursday night and calls for a Steelers upset of the Bengals, 27-24, in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1bb32676-c3b3-4b8e-8a03-b58396cf98bf (scored 100) - John Breech on Washington Commanders: Breech picks the Commanders to upset the Giants on Thursday night, 24-17, and takes the Texans to beat the Browns 24-16 in Week 10 behind a pass rush that should batter Deshaun Watson. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9fddc8e1-3823-4252-bdd7-f81ef11b1da3 (scored 90.48) - Jordan Dajani on Washington Commanders: Dajani picked seven Week 10 games with final scores, including a Commanders upset of the Giants, Lions over the Patriots in Munich, Chiefs over the Falcons, Packers edging the Vikings, 49ers over the Cowboys, Bengals over the Steelers and Ravens over the Chargers.
