Strengths & concerns
Pros / cons +

Pros

  • Traded to HOU 3/2/26 specifically to be featured/lead back after Mixon release
  • Aggressively rebuilt O-line (Wyatt Teller FA, 1st-rd rookie G Rutledge) improves rushing efficiency floor
  • Reported as leading the tandem/backfield hierarchy over Woody Marks per camp reporting

Cons

  • Age 29, 7 years of NFL wear - meets RB decline-curve threshold
  • True role is a tandem/committee (Woody Marks), not a workhorse share, capping ceiling
  • Nick Caley offense is scheme-early (2nd year) with tempo changes and no 2026 in-season pace/PROE data yet
