DraftUncut doesn't chase hype, we chase snaps. before the season even starts, these four backs already have a legitimate window into real touches, and that's the entire fantasy game Devin Neal — New Orleans Saints
Neal already sits ahead of Kendre Miller on New Orleans' own official depth chart, right behind Travis Etienne Jr. and Alvin Kamara. as a rookie, he flashed real starter equity, peaking at 20 touches in a single game and finishing with 310 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on just 74 total touches across ten games, most of that production coming during a real three-game starting stretch. Kamara is 30 and coming off career-low efficiency, and Etienne, while the clear lead, isn't a true bell-cow workhorse either
Verdict: the upside outweighs the cost. Neal costs almost nothing at ADP and is already positioned, officially, ahead of the only other real candidate to inherit touches if Kamara slips further. this is a low-risk, high-payout bet if anything happens above him Jonah Coleman — Denver Broncos
Coleman was the fourth running back drafted in a class most analysts panned, going in Round 4 to a crowded Denver room behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. but early camp buzz has already turned heads: one insider called him "the best back on the field every single day" through the first ten days of camp. Sean Payton's offense wants complete backs, runners who can pass-protect and catch out of the backfield, and Coleman checks every box after allowing zero fumbles across more than 450 college touches. Dobbins' extensive injury history is the real door here, he's played in only 47 of 101 possible NFL games
Verdict: the upside outweighs the cost. an RB50 ADP (~pick 155) for a guy camp scouts are already calling the best back on the roster is basically free. the only real risk is Dobbins simply staying healthy in front of him
