Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

The ledger on Schrader is thin by design. His only NFL exposure came in a single 2024 appearance, where he logged a 3 percent snap share, one carry for three yards, and a lone target he turned into a six-yard catch. That line produced 0.9 fantasy points and a No. 127 positional rank, with a modest 0.038 EPA per play across a sample far too small to read into.

He enters 2026 on a future contract with Denver after spending last season on their practice squad, which frames him as a camp body fighting for the back end of the depth chart rather than a draftable asset. The backfield ahead of him is crowded, the schedule grades out as one of the league's tougher run environments, and no ADP exists because no market does. File him as a deep stash worth tracking only if injuries thin the room.
