Derek Brown· Aug 1, 2026
Brown names Bucky Irving, TreVeyon Henderson and Chuba Hubbard as running backs he is avoiding at their 2026 ADP, arguing Irving's efficiency and injury history are concerning, that Henderson won't pass Rhamondre Stevenson and is only an upside RB3, and that Hubbard was the league's most inefficient back and could be leapfrogged by a healthy Jonathon Brooks.
“I'll be avoiding Hubbard in drafts this year.”

Who this take is about
3 checkable claims in this take
Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.
- Depth Chart CallsRhamondre StevensonAug 1, 2026
Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart
“I don't know how Henderson overtakes Stevenson in 2026 if both of these players continue to post per-touch efficiency metrics like they did last season.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
- Depth Chart CallsJonathon BrooksAug 1, 2026
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
“If Jonathon Brooks is fully healthy (I think he will be), he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
- Depth Chart CallsTreVeyon HendersonAug 1, 2026
TreVeyon Henderson to be 2nd on the depth chart
“I don't know how Henderson overtakes Stevenson in 2026... Henderson could eat into Stevenson's workload more in 2026 if he can take another step and payoff as an RB2, but he 's best viewed as an upside RB3.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
