Adam Randall

Derrick Henry is the entrenched starter in Baltimore. Randall has essentially no path to meaningful touches in 2026 unless Henry is injured, limiting his dynasty value to a speculative hold.

Randall converted from WR to RB only in late 2024 at Clemson. His technique, pass protection, and between-the-tackles instincts are still raw, which could slow his development timeline at the NFL level.

Randall grades in roughly the 6th percentile for schedule-adjusted production and ~28th-percentile in rookie models — only one full season (814 yds, 168 carries) at RB after converting from WR.

He played WR for most of his Clemson career and only became a full-time tailback in 2025, so his RB instincts, pass-pro, and pad level are unproven against NFL competition.

A 5th-round pick (174th overall) signals limited team investment; Day 3 RBs rarely earn meaningful early roles without an injury opening above them.

A 4.50 40-yard dash at 232+ lbs is functional but not explosive for a dynasty RB, limiting his ceiling as a lead back if he lacks the burst to create chunk runs against loaded boxes.

Derrick Henry is 32 and a free agent or likely sunset candidate after 2026. If Baltimore doesn't sign another feature back, Randall is the internal heir apparent entering a Ravens offense that averaged 30+ rush attempts per game.

Randall's WR background gives him a rare receiving profile for a big back — 36 catches at Clemson in 2025. In PPR formats, a 232-lb back with genuine route-running chops carries premium upside if he secures a role.

Baltimore runs one of the most RB-friendly schemes in the NFL with a heavy ground game and designed outside zone/RPO concepts. Any back who earns the starting role here has top-12 weekly upside.

Young RB (21) — peak value years ahead

As a 5th-round pick currently ranked RB51, acquisition cost in dynasty is extremely low. The risk-reward skews favorably for stashing a player with this upside profile at minimal roster cost.
