Jamal Haynes

23-Year-Old Running BackRB
2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Georgia Tech product went undrafted in 2026 before latching on with the Bengals, and Haynes faces an uphill climb just to earn a gameday roster spot. Short and stocky at 5-6 and 195 pounds, Haynes takes advantage of his low center of gravity, running with burst and power plus good footwork in traffic to maintain his balance through contact. He showed somewhat poor vision in college however, and often waited too long to hit the hole, creating problems for himself. Haynes also doesn't offer much as a pass catcher, and he doesn't have the elusiveness or long speed to be a big-play threat. With Chase Brown and Samaje Perine at the top of the depth chart and 2-25 sixth-round pick Tahj Brooks looking for a bigger role, Haynes may have to settle for the practice squad with Cincinnati.

ANALYSIS
Haynes didn't start until his third year at Georgia Tech when he broke out with 174 carries for 1,059 yards (6.1 YPC) and seven touchdowns. His efficiency dropped off over the next two seasons, bottoming out at 4.3 YPC in his fifth year. Still, Haynes has pass-catching chops with 33 receptions for 257 yards in his final season. He'll need to prove himself on special teams to earn a spot in a running back room that already features Chase Brown, Samaje Perine and Tahj Brooks.
