| 1 | Pat Bryant | 203.1 | 75.2 | High | Role SecuredExisting late-round thesis remains intact; no contradictory evidence in today’s sources. |
| 2 | Adam Randall | 215.8 | 70.5 | High | Contingent UpsideRare contingency profile and organizational investment remain the strongest stable late-round RB case. |
| 3 | Xavier Legette | 215.9 | 69.2 | High | Injury BeneficiaryBrazzell’s season-ending surgery removes his primary WR3 challenger and improves route stability. |
| 4 | Ty Johnson | 215.7 | 67.5 | High | Price AdvantagePassing-down role thesis remains unchanged at near-free acquisition cost. |
| 5 | Tyquan Thornton | 209.9 | 67.1 | Medium | Role CompetitionPrior reports continue to support his role in the Chiefs receiver competition. |
| 6 | Jordan James | 207.9 | 64.0 | Medium | Health UncertaintyRib injury interrupts an otherwise attractive RB2 path. Wait for health clarity. |
| 7 | Elijah Sarratt | 205.7 | 62.8 | Medium | Needs ConfirmationRole remains attractive, but entity-resolution uncertainty caps conviction. |
