RB Rhamondre Stevenson, NE

The hope was that Stevenson can be an every-down back with Zeke gone, but the Patriots secured one of the better pass-catching and pass-blocking RBs available in Antonio Gibson. On what should be a run-heavy offense though, Stevenson is still in line for a big workload in 2024, but goes from a potential RB1 to a solid RB2.

RB D’Andre Swift, CHI

Despite the big money, I’m not convinced Swift will be the workhorse in a backfield with Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson. Herbert in particular has been a very good RB since entering the league, including last year, so there is a chance Swift relinquishes some opportunities to him at the very least. Johnson can still be used as their primary pass protector.

RBs Chase Brown & Ty Chandler, CIN & MIN

If you thought Brown or Chandler had high chances of going into Week 1 as clear starters, I don’t know what to tell you. Moss replaced Mixon with the quickness, and ranked 5th among all RBs last year in rush yards over expectation per attempt. Expect a competition for the starting gig in Cincy. Jones is the clear starter in Minnesota.

RB Brian Robinson, WAS

Robinson can still outscore Ekeler in 2024, but this addition doesn’t bode too well for Robinson staying on the field as much as he could’ve. Ekeler will likely get more opportunities than Gibson received last year and mix in on early downs in Kingsbury’s Air Raid attack. Btw, Robinson was low key good last year FWIW.

Vikings offense

We have to bump Justin Jefferson down the ranks a couple of spots. He’ll still be a solid WR1, but he currently has Sam Darnold as his QB1. Addison struggled once Cousins got hurt last year, and TJ Hockenson was a target magnet for Cousins as well, so this obviously doesn’t bode well for him, either.
