Rasheen Ali Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth RB for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB88 last season at 2.4 points per game.
Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
Ali's 2025 line reads like a true backup's: 15 games but just 13% of snaps, seven carries for 24 yards at 3.43 per pop, and a brutal minus-0.25 EPA per play that flags how little space he created. The flicker of intrigue is through the air. He drew 11 targets, caught nine for 68 yards and a score on 0.79 yards per route run, and his 83 receiving yards after the catch hint at usable hands when given a route tree. With a 2.7% target share, though, the receiving profile is more proof of concept than production.
The path forward runs entirely through Derrick Henry's workload, and Ali has barely 17 career carries to argue he's the next man up. Going near the back of drafts, he's a deep-league handcuff lottery ticket: ignore him in standard formats and only speculate if Henry's availability wobbles.
