said he has been interested in the property since he purchased the motel a couple of years ago “Driving by it every day I just envisioned what I could do with it,” he said Pagnotti closed on the property in late March for an undisclosed amount of money He anticipates changing the name to Harbor Lookout Pagnotti also owns the Snackle Box food truck and runs Chaumont Masters who will assist with the food truck and help with catering for the event center The new Harbor Lookout is not anticipated to be a restaurant it will be more of an ice cream parlor with a breakfast menu including coffee and espresso “It won’t be a full-on restaurant as it was in its last life,” he said The 3,500-square-foot event center will stay the same He sees the enclosed porch in front of the store where

opportunities provided by the faith conference hosted by Pastor Keion Henderson — founder and senior pastor of TLHC — and his wife knowing that Pastor Henderson’s steps are divinely ordered and that everything he and Lady Shaunie do reflects excellence “Last year I got my ticket before I knew who was going to be here because I knew the Lord was going to be here the Holy Spirit was going to be here because he dwells in that church,” she said “Now it doesn’t matter who else is in the room I’m in the room and I know God is in the room and that’s what matters,” Gavin said “They [the Hendersons] made it definitely comfortable You see all the people around you who are comfortable with praising It’s part of the holistic experience that the Hendersons aim to curate for attendees — a safe place where they can heal be vulnerable and authentic to themselves in their worship and “cry out” without faking or caring who’s watching they succeeded in creating an atmosphere filled with

evening keynote on Day two of the conference There are thousands and legions of angels crying We don’t come to a Cry Out conference to be quiet.” The multi-day event showcased powerful keynote addresses from renowned preachers across the country, including Pastor John Hannah of New Life Covenant Church Southeast in Chicago and Pastor Eric Thomas, widely recognized as “ET, The Hip Hop Preacher.” Attendees engaged in thought-provoking breakout sessions tailored for men and women the conference fostered meaningful fellowship and connections with lively dance breaks by Houston DJ Kiotti also known as ‘Hardbody Kiotti,’ who played popular hits like “Boots on the Ground.” The event also featured electrifying musical performances from Todd Dulaney This year’s conference theme, “A.I. All In,” builds upon the transformative foundation at the genesis of Cry Out Con, but also serves as a metaphor to today’s growing presence of artificial intelligence in everyday life. Henderson recently shared that he has used ChatGPT “That same eagerness that you have to go all in on this technology you should have that same devotion to go all in to your relationship with God for everything that you do,” said Brian Smith chief of communications at The Lighthouse Church and Ministries Organizers reported that more than 3,000 attendees traveled both locally and from out of state The conference also drew participants from five different countries—Australia and England—underscoring its global impact he said it challenged him to be more open-minded he noticed a greater number of men in attendance and felt that the event was more in-depth and intentional including powerful female preachers like Ryan Thomas echoed that message that it’s not a conference during his morning keynote on the second day of the conference He also emphasized that he rarely participates in events or shows choosing only to be where the spirit of the Lord is truly present.  “I knew that this wasn’t a show or an event that they are literally trying to help people transform,” Thomas said to ESSENCE “They’re giving them the tools that they need to transform.” providing a safe space for popular comedians Simone and Pretty Vee to own the stage.  Best friends and fellow preacher’s kids, B.

EDNEYVILLE - Even as many Western North Carolina industries make progress toward recovery from Tropical Storm Helene including apple growers in Henderson County are still often struggling to get back to where they were before the storm Federal and state disaster relief that they’ve been counting on for months has been trickling down the pipeline at a rate that some farmers say is too slow for the urgency of the situation Apples are Henderson County’s signature crop The county produces 85% of the state's apples and there is even an apple on the official county seal The 150 orchards in Henderson County on average generate upward of $22 million every year according to the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce's website “We got a real temperate climate,” which is ideal for apples a sixth-generation apple farmer and chairman of the Henderson-Polk-Transylvania Farm Service Agency office “We don't have hurricanes. We don't have wildfires,” he said with a shrug. “Well, this year we had hurricanes and we had wildfires.” about a 60% to 70% total loss” to his crop Members of his family received relief money from FEMA and the Red Cross but “on the farm side of things … we’ve received nothing,” he said More: Farm Service Agency office surrounded by Helene-impacted farms to be terminated, DOGE says Congress passed the American Relief Act of 2025 which allocated $31 billion in economic and disaster relief money to agricultural producers nationwide $10 billion will go to growers of commodity crops like cotton director of the Henderson County office of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Another $21 billion will go toward disaster relief for agriculture nationwide through the U.S Department of Agriculture or state departments of agriculture Some of the $10 billion has already gone out to farmers that $20 billion has not started really flowing.” Chuck Edwards told the Times-News that after an April meeting with White House officials he believed Western North Carolina would soon see some relief “They assured me that all of my requests to accelerate payments would be given high priority and that they would be working with the various federal agencies responsible," Edwards said “I believe that we can expect very soon to see those payments put into the hands of the people that need them." the North Carolina General Assembly passed a $524 million relief package with $200 million for Helene recovery and another $111 for relief from other disasters including drought The deadline to apply for that aid is May 4 Kelley estimated that farmers could start receiving checks in late June “The biggest thing I'm hearing is that it's slow and it's late,” he said of relief generally and we're still waiting to get disaster relief from last year.” More: US Ag secretary says 'mistakes made' in some fed firings; may review some USFS job cuts “A lot of (farmers) have gone out on faith to put in another crop not knowing whether they're going to get anything from last year or not,” he said $200 million probably won’t be enough to sufficiently cover all the agricultural losses from Helene in Western North Carolina Most of the agricultural relief that’s been paid out has gone through the federal Farm Service Agency and its subsidiaries including the Emergency Conservation Program which gives aid to restore damaged farmland which provides assistance for losses to orchards and tree farms But both of those require farmers to pay for restoration upfront and then be reimbursed afterward Enloe said that he applied to the Tree Assistance Program for reimbursement on 2,800 trees but that he had around that amount again in losses that didn't qualify Saturated ground combined with wind created conditions where the weight of the apples themselves could pull trees over silt and debris from flooding covered the orchard floor But it’s not only dead and downed trees that might need replacement New trees from nurseries need to be planted together in rows with wire trellises Gaps left by mature fallen trees can’t be filled without cutting down the whole row That lost density “takes away the profitability of the orchard The best thing to do is just start over,” Barnwell said Barnwell said new trees might cost $15 each “There are a lot of good folks at our local FSA office that are helping out with those so I think those are going to come to fruition,” Enloe said “But the time is the issue … (with) expenses piling up and then nothing on the backside of it yet.” it probably won’t be able to fully reckon with the entire cost of damage in the long run A mature “tree was going to produce for 30 you've wiped those 10 to 12 years of (the costs of raising the tree)

event also included numerous owners general managers and coaches discussing the makeup of their teams and answering the most pressing questions in this period between free agency and the draft and more than 20 ESPN reporters were on the scene to collect the highlights: The NFL last month made a small but potentially significant change to its funding rule which requires teams to hold in escrow an amount of money sufficient to cover the fully guaranteed money in the future years of their players' contracts the date on which that money needed to be funded was always March 31 According to a March 7 league memo obtained by ESPN the date is now "permanently extended to two business days after the April television contract distributions (i.e allowing clubs to utilize these distributions as a funding source." that money would not have been subject to the funding rule because it didn't become guaranteed until after the March 31 funding date which means the 49ers likely have to put more money into escrow to cover future-year guarantees than they used to Coach Aaron Glenn said Fields has untapped potential "I think he's a dynamic player and I think there's more that we can get out of

point that the Patriots would consider trading him right now Coach Mike Vrabel hinted that Milton's situation could potentially look different as April unfolds Everybody wants to be the starter," Vrabel said And he was ready for his opportunity there late in the season just like I would any player that sat there or where Joe is on April 7 to start our [voluntary] offseason program." -- Mike Reiss The Eagles did nothing this week to signal their intention to keep tight end Dallas Goedert on the roster; if anything their comments pointed in the other direction he's on our football team," coach Nick Sirianni said they're making some tough choices this offseason on contributors with sizable salaries who haven't been identified as core options moving forward Goedert's injury history (he has missed three-plus games in each of the past three seasons) appears to be working against him in that regard it's hard to envision Goedert returning to Philly in 2025 who signed with the Raiders earlier in the offseason Spytek called the Raiders' wide receiver situation unique since tight end Brock Bowers functions as a No "I know [Bowers] is not the speed guy down the field, but he's a problem," Spytek said. "And we got [tight end] Michael Mayer coming back too and we'll try to find some more new players." -- Ryan McFadden Despite the Raiders sending a third-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for quarterback Geno Smith Raiders coach Pete Carroll acknowledged the possibility remains that they could still opt for a quarterback with the No adding that Smith is an "immediate fix" who they expect to get a "number of years" from "But that doesn't mean that we don't see guys -- there are some guys coming up with tremendous potential." -- Lindsey Thiry It doesn't look as if tight end Mark Andrews is going elsewhere after all Asked about Andrews' status with the Ravens "I do fully expect him to be playing for us next year There had been speculation about Andrews' future with the team since last month when general manager Eric DeCosta was noncommittal at the NFL combine after being asked whether he would consider trade offers for the franchise's career touchdown leader is entering the final year of his four-year $56 million contract and is coming off one of the most frustrating seasons of his career He averaged 39.6 yards receiving per game last season When Caleb Williams arrives at Halas Hall for the start of the offseason program next week the second-year quarterback will begin learning a new offense that will push him out of his comfort zone "There are some things that we're going to encourage that he looks to do a little bit differently," Bears coach Ben Johnson said "He's been predominantly a shotgun quarterback for most of his high school and college career We're going to work to see the comfort level under center and how much of that applies." Johnson's offense with the Lions was under center for 56.2% of their snaps last season the highest rate for any NFL team since 2020 Williams was under center only 26.4% of the time as a rookie (16th) and didn't have much experience with it in college either (seven career pass attempts under center between USC and Oklahoma mostly at the goal line or in short-yardage situations) Williams playing under center should allow the Bears to run more play-action Detroit was first in play-action rate in 2024 (36.1%) which Johnson believes will translate to the success of the run game (Detroit had the No 6 rushing offense) and the passing game in Williams' second season "We had a lot of success where I was last that going under center for the run game did translate in play-action," Johnson said Quinn Harris/Getty Images All 49ers eyes remain on getting a lucrative contract extension done with quarterback Brock Purdy and the Niners are publicly and privately maintaining their leverage with Purdy in the form of future franchise tags but general manager John Lynch didn't entirely dismiss the idea that a deal could be done in time for the start of the offseason program in mid-April "I don't think it's too optimistic [to get it done by then]," Lynch said "I think I understand why Brock wants that so we've just got to find that right place for both sides and I would love nothing more than for that to be the case." the biggest question remains just how much Purdy will earn on his deal Owner Jed York called Purdy a top-10 quarterback Tuesday an indication that the team is willing to pay him as such Neal has struggled in his first three seasons at tackle ranking 74th of 76 qualifying tackles in pass block win rate (82.9%) since entering the league "[The] good thing about Evan is he's going to do whatever he can to help the team The team will look different here in four weeks," Schoen said he's willing to do whatever he can do to help the team But he's apparently seen blue for a while now The Vikings have had a secret weapon the past two years when navigating the free agent market "When Flo kind of has that tone in his voice about guys," O'Connell said Rodgers signed a two-year, $14 million contract, indicating a possible role as a No. 3 cornerback, but it appears he has the inside track to be a starter opposite Byron Murphy Jr "I see Isaiah being an every-down impact guy," O'Connell said the "roster's pretty full at that position right now," O'Connell said The trade request that led the Seahawks to send DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh last month wasn't the first time he asked out of Seattle the star receiver had requested trades multiple times in recent offseasons That revelation sheds light on Seattle's decision to deal Metcalf to the Steelers for the No 52 selection and a swap of late-round picks The Seahawks didn't plan on trading him at the start of the offseason but they had to weigh Metcalf's prolonged unhappiness in addition to the inherent risk of signing a player to a massive third contract according to multiple sources familiar with the trade talks But his contract situation complicated the matter as it meant the Seahawks had to find a trade partner that would not only give them enough compensation in return but also be willing and able to sign Metcalf to a new deal The Patriots were interested in trading for Metcalf but he effectively nixed that possibility by making it known that he didn't want to go to New England according to a source familiar with the discussions The Colts have been frequently linked to the tight ends expected to be chosen in the early portions of this draft and they are not hiding from the reality that they need to address the position Indianapolis' tight ends were among the least productive in the passing game last season collectively ranking 31st in receiving yards with 467 "We all want a game-changer," general manager Chris Ballard said "I think every team in the league wants a game-changer The Commanders believe they have a great chance of maximizing newly acquired receiver Deebo Samuel for one key reason: He's in the final year of his contract The team believes it'll get a highly motivated player and "get the best out of him." and it's really infectious throughout the team," said Washington general manager Adam Peters who was with Samuel in San Francisco for five seasons The Commanders can't wait to see Samuel operate in their offense because of coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's creativity But they also like the toughness he has displayed as a runner and a blocker Coach Dan Quinn said it was difficult in the past for him to prepare defensively against Samuel "He could be in different locations and not just play in traditional spots," Quinn said sometimes when there's a unique player and you're wanting to give special attention I'm really pumped." -- John KeimCary Edmondson/Imagn Images General manager Les Snead said the Rams are "working through" a possible contract extension with running back Kyren Williams who is entering the final year of his rookie deal "We would definitely like to engineer a long-term partnership with Kyren," Snead said Williams accounted for 43% of the Rams' touches last season Williams ran for 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns on 316 carries He also had 34 catches for 182 yards and two touchdowns "Will we come to an agreement for an extension?" Snead said but a lot of times because it's early and there's no real deadline [it might be a longer process]." -- Sarah Barshop With Rams coach Sean McVay revealing this week that quarterback Matthew Stafford might not have signed his new contract here's what I heard about the situation coming out of the owners meetings: The deal is agreed upon in principle but a few minor details must be hashed out; The Rams and Stafford agreed about a month ago that he would not be traded and that the Rams would increase his compensation in 2025 And Stafford eschewed massive money on the trade market to remain a Ram as long as the team respected his stature in the game with a more enticing deal The Steelers' acquisition of Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf might suggest the organization could move on from 2022 second-round wide receiver George Pickens as he enters an extension-eligible offseason "No, you need more than one receiver in this league," general manager Omar Khan said. "And we're fortunate we have George and [Calvin Austin] and excited about what [Roman Wilson] is going to be able to do for us." Each inked a monster extension this offseason Chase led the league with 1,708 receiving yards and 17 touchdown catches in 2024 while Higgins had 911 yards and 10 touchdown grabs "As a guy who grew up on the defensive side of the ball we got multiple people schematically you got to work to minimize," Tomlin said "It really challenges you in terms of some of the things that you do We see similar challenges within our division and so we're excited about putting together a group that has that type of collective presence." -- Brooke Pryor There do not seem to be any concerns about Lions star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and his ability to move forward after suffering a fractured tibia and fibula in Week 6 that sidelined him for the remainder of the 2024 season General manager Brad Holmes and the organization remain confident that Hutchinson will be ready for the start of 2025 "I've seen enough movement and mobility in running at this stage that I feel very confident where he's gonna be at," Holmes said Hutchinson's former college coach at Michigan has known him since his teenage years and says he has "no doubt" that Hutchinson will "come back 100 percent and even better" this season -- Eric WoodyardMatthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire "I think we've got competition there," Taylor said "It'd be foolish for me to speak before the draft The Bengals have also stood pat on linebacker Germaine Pratt Taylor said the team will keep moving forward with Pratt "right now" and see how the offseason unfolds "We did our due diligence and went through all the guys that were available and which ones fit best," Callahan said "I think it's just adding a collection of arms that we continue to develop." Callahan said the Titans are still vetting the draft process and should have their final decision in the next couple of weeks But their current quarterbacks room is no indication they'll select one with the top pick The Titans have come out of pre-draft visits and workouts pleased with Ward's personality and demeanor They feel he checks plenty of the boxes off the field Tennessee's process in determining the top pick is ongoing they have been impressed with Ward's makeup helped develop the Titletown District around Lambeau Field and helped bring the NFL draft to Green Bay later this month The sale of an NFL team would have been one of the biggest stories of a league meeting but Murphy's last annual league meeting still resonated with the owners "Bringing in someone from the outside who was able to fit in and help make the Packers more successful than what they have been before and navigate some pretty challenging waters is a credit to Mark," 49ers owner Jed York said The Browns hold the No. 2 pick in the draft, but the Cleveland contingent in attendance for the league's annual meeting -- coach Kevin Stefanski, general manager Andrew Berry and owner Jimmy Haslam -- all said the team wouldn't force a quarterback selection. It makes it very plausible then that Kenny Pickett whom the team acquired in a trade with the Eagles in March Stefanski and Berry said they are confident if Pickett the only healthy quarterback currently on the roster is a player Cleveland sought as a trade target dating to last offseason "We do think that there's a pretty credible path for him to continue to improve and take a step forward," Berry said of 26-year-old Pickett Receiver Chris Olave suffered two concussions last year and then sat out to protect himself for the future told ESPN he believes Olave is a "phenomenal player" who will make a huge impact Moore said it's a matter of education for the first-year head coach "and understanding the circumstances he is in." Moore said he knows Olave "has been through a lot the last year or two," and they have a plan to continue his progression and Moore said he believes Olave is excited about his opportunity BALTIMORE -- Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson is expected to return to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday at Kansas City after missing the start of the season with a right intercostal strain Manager Brandon Hyde said Henderson is "probable" for the series opener against the Royals He was not activated for Thursday's home game against Boston finishing fourth in the American League MVP race Baltimore's offense has remained explosive without him scoring at least eight runs in four of the team's first six games although the Orioles were shut out by Boston on Wednesday night Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInCINCINNATI (WXIX) - The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has released the identity of the deputy killed in a crash Friday by the father of a man whose son was killed in an officer-involved shooting The deputy has been identified as Deputy Larry Henderson Henderson was a sheriff’s deputy for 33 years and served in multiple specialized units I recognized his talent for teaching and presentation,” Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said in a statement Sunday “Larry began his journey as a Sheriff’s Office trainer early in his career,” she says He developed an expertise and became an excellent trainer HCSO public information officer Kyla Woods said Deputy Henderson’s badge number Woods said HCSO thanks their fellow law enforcement agencies and everyone who offered condolences and support through the difficult time they’re facing Las Vegas (KSNV) — The City of Henderson is advancing its Reimagine Boulder Highway project which involves the closure of unsignalized median access points along the corridor median access points on Boulder Highway will be closed at the following areas: These upgrades are designed to reduce crash potential and improve safety The project will also facilitate the operation of a center-running transit system once completed Motorists are advised to use the nearest signalized intersections to safely make U-turns Future signalized intersections are planned at Wells Street and Pioneer Street Boulder Highway will remain open in both directions and access to businesses will be maintained To view detailed information on specific work done in connection with the project, click here Ohio’s Bralen Henderson is the latest addition to the Mizzou Football roster via the transfer portal Eli Drinkwitz and the staff are putting the finishing touches on the 2025 Missouri Tigers’ roster and they landed their latest addition on Saturday morning via the transfer portal #MIZ pic.twitter.com/v35CSwwow7 Ohio defensive lineman transfer Bralen Henderson has committed to Mizzou Ohio defensive line transfer Bralen Henderson has signed with Missouri, @chris_hummer and I have learned for @cbssports/@247sports.Had 45 tackles for Ohio the last two seasons.https://t.co/10Sz3YwNKg pic.twitter.com/KeaATsFCU3 Henderson will bring experience and depth to the defensive line position as he spent his last four seasons at Ohio Henderson was a significant contributor in 2023 and 2024 helping the Bobcats to back-to-back 10-win seasons along with a MAC Championship this past year For more on Henderson, Nathan Hurst had a Spring Portal Update earlier this week on who’s left for the Tigers to target #Mizzou Football Spring Portal Update from @burstahurst: Who’s left for the Tigers to target? https://t.co/0NpnJvYtNW “This one is a bit of a cheat on my part because Mizzou has already been reportedly shown interest in Henderson it sounds like he has already been on campus visiting earlier this week The rising senior has one year of eligibility left and put up some production in his last two seasons as a Bobcat Henderson has two career sacks and 49 career tackles.” Henderson received plenty of offers from notable Power Five programs Missouri continues their push to land a Top 10 transfer portal class as the Tigers currently rank 7th on 247Sports, 5th on Rivals, and 9th via On3 To stay up to date on all things Mizzou Football Recruiting, follow Rock M Plus for more coverage Offers to note: Ole Miss Ohio starting defensive lineman Bralen Henderson has signed with Missouri, @On3sports has learned.

The Tigers also have received commitments from Iowa tight end Gavin Hoffman Illinois State wide receiver Xavier Loyd and Florida State offensive lineman Jaylen Early Missouri has signed 22 total players out of the transfer portal since the winter window opened Saturday’s announcement marked the first commitment from a defensive tackle Henderson appears to have one remaining year of eligibility adding some experience to a room that is losing its most veteran player Three-year starter Kristian Williams exhausted his eligibility at the end of the 2024 season and recently signed as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos Mizzou didn’t lose any tackles to the transfer portal Returning seniors Chris McClellan and Sterling Webb are likely to form the core of Mizzou’s defensive tackle rotation the Tigers will still need to rely on some development from the rest of their returning cast are the frontrunners to earn the bulk of the remaining reps up front Both have now been on the Mizzou roster for three full seasons Missouri elevates one or both into prominent members of the rotation “Really encouraging both Jalen Marshall and Marquis Gracial to take that next step,” Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz said April 8 “They've been in the rotation and kind of waiting their turn He has 33 college games under his belt and 51 career tackles The signing is unlikely to be more than a depth piece in the upcoming season it does give the Tigers security and competitive depth in a room that could otherwise be stretched somewhat thin More: What Missouri AD Laird Veatch said about football stadium upgrades, house settlement case More: Missouri football transfer portal tracker: Here’s who is in, out for Mizzou in spring Missouri now appears to have 83 scholarship players which means head coach Eli Drinkwitz and company have room to add two more scholarship players and fall within the SEC limits of 85 scholarship players and 20 walk-ons for the 2025 season It’s possible that the addition of Henderson marks the end of Mizzou’s transfer portal work it’s likely to be a player who can compete for the job at left tackle along the offensive line KLAS Those who live in the Anthem area in Henderson are gearing up for some changes as road improvements begin Monday The looming May 7 deadline to get a Real ID has scammers ramping up their schemes A cybersecurity strategist shared with 8 News Now all the ways scammers are using the Real ID enforcement deadline to their benefit The Southern Nevada Senior Law Program is offering free legal services to seniors across the valley through its monthly Ask-A-Lawyer Program A former Las Vegas police officer in prison for killing a woman in 1997 refused to attend his parole hearing Monday UNLV researchers are providing free diabetes risk assessments to support the health of the Las Vegas community The driver accused of killing a Las Vegas high school senior was more than three times the legal limit according to a preliminary test taken after the fatal crash Las Vegas couple gear up for Cinco de Mayo A traffic camera in Ohio caught a driver who missed a freeway exit - and stopping in the middle of traffic Police: Driver causes 3-car crash after failing to stop for red light Dwain McFarland projects the workloads for rookie running backs for fantasy football 2025 we've been hard at work behind the scenes on our new ceiling and floor logic which helps us account for variance in fantasy scoring I am proud of the work we've done because we've isolated all the stats to understand which ones offer the most variance and how that impacts future performance for different levels of players While our premium subscribers will learn much more about this logic as we roll out new tools this summer everyone gets a sneak peek at how we can use it to gain insights in fantasy football What better way to do that than evaluating the rookie running back class based on their skillsets and landing spots as we will use my baseline projections as the starting point for the median result it is worth noting that we aim for a median forecast in our process we will allow the logic to analyze each back's projected stats and provide us with a range of outcomes for PPR fantasy points per game My median projection has Jeanty taking over the Raiders' backfield from Day 1 with 67% of the rushing attempts and a 55% route participation rate. That translates into 16.4 points per game, ranking third behind only Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson a number that has been reached 23 times since 2011 Jeanty could finish as the RB1 overall as a rookie Hampton's median projection is based on a gradual backfield takeover that culminates around midseason The result would be 55% of the rushing attempts with a 40% route participation While the median projection could be maddening for drafters early in the season the variance logic powering his ceiling projections paints a bullish picture with 17.9 points per contest Takeaway: Hampton's median outcome isn't going to inspire fantasy managers but we shouldn't assume to be so good at predicting these things—his ceiling outcome is worth the swing Harvey's baseline projection isn't as easy as the backs ahead of him and while the depth chart in Denver is wide open Sean Payton has played musical chairs with his backfields many times before I projected Harvey for 45% of the attempts with a 40% route participation rate his prowess as a plus option in the passing game and big-play ability push his ceiling near that of Hampton Takeaway: Harvey goes 45 picks after Hampton in best ball drafts making him a high-priority target before the gap narrows With Judkins, the median projection assumes he takes over the early-down work from the start but gives away passing reps to other backs, like Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson He projects for 55% of the attempts with a 30% route participation He offers a very similar median workload to Hampton Takeaway: In a world where predictions are not always accurate the variance in Judkins' projections is almost as promising as Hampton's And the fact that he goes 29 picks later in fantasy drafts makes his potential even more appealing I have the Patriots' backfield divided into a 1A/1B split, with 46% of the attempts going to Rhamondre Stevenson and 44% going to TreVeyon Henderson The same thing plays out in the route participation department That creates a median projection scenario of 9.9 points per game in PPR the ceiling projection of 15.6 is much more encouraging Henderson doesn't have to do much to swing things in his favor with the new coaching regime of Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels Takeaway: Henderson's median projection doesn't benefit from an immediate takeover like some of the other profiles but his ceiling scenario is still in a range that would make him a highly viable fantasy asset Johnson received only a 20% route participation in his median projection Takeaway: Johnson's floor and median projections are stronger than Henderson's, but his fewer path to victory subdues his ceiling. His ceiling still offers value on Underdog as the RB25, but he shouldn't go ahead of RJ Harvey The Cowboys' backfield is wide open with only Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders standing in the way Blue was at his best in college as a receiving outlet out of the backfield For the baseline projections of this backfield with Williams receiving more attempts (47%) Blue received the second-best route participation at 30% Takeaway: The variance logic acknowledges how challenging it is to predict a convoluted backfield like this one providing Blue with a low-end RB3 season within his range of outcomes Blue is a late-round selection at pick 183 on Underdog Bonus: If you are wondering what Williams' range of outcomes using the new floor/ceiling logic looks like we know better than to think Williams has any sort of ceiling like that and that's the whole point of using the new ceiling and floor variance logic you could argue that my 47% baseline attempt share for Williams is too high; that is fair but it seems reasonable considering the available bodies it's tough to use this methodology because his best-case scenario involves fully taking over the backfield at some point during the season which is impossible for the variance model to handle in a backfield we project as a three-way split I don't expect Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby to fade away just because the Jags added an RB in Round 4 of the NFL Draft. Yes, the Super Model loves Tuten but he must earn his place in the pecking order think of this more as his early-season range of outcomes and we will adjust as we get more information from training camp I have Tuten slated for 30% of the rushing attempts and a 25% route participation rate Takeaway: Tuten could provide RB4 value in his upside scenario early in the year but we need more clarity around this backfield split to get a proper grip on his range of outcomes Bonus: If we heard that Tuten was the lead in a committee (50% attempts and 40% route participation) this is how his range of outcomes would shift: The scenario above more closely resembles how we could view Tuten by midseason Skattebo is in a very similar position to Tuten. Tyrone Tracy played admirably last season, and Devin Singletary is still on the roster As much as the Rookie Super Model loves Skattebo and his receiving prowess there isn't a way to reasonably project a Round 4 pick as anything more than a piece in a three-way committee as a starting point let's skip the takeaway since there isn't much of one and look at how the calculus changes for a prospect like Skattebo if he moves into a role where he gets 45% of the rushing attempts and 45% of the passing-down work Henderson comes to Columbia after spending four seasons with the Bobcats Former Ohio defensive lineman Bralen Henderson has committed to MU after a stint in the transfer portal Henderson has one year of eligibility remaining Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content Get the latest Mizzou and local high school sports stories delivered to your inbox Account processing issue - the email address may already exist The Columbia Parents’ Digest is a newsletter to keep you in the know about raising kids in Columbia Start your day with the latest news stories for Columbia Receive a roundup of the news of the day each evening.

RB1 pic.twitter.com/G1d5Q0FezO — Austin Abbott (@AustinAbbottFF) April 9, 2025 Henderson burst onto the college football scene during his 2021 freshman season with Ohio State and was immediately viewed as the next great running back Henderson averaged 6.8 yards per carry while handling 183 carries for 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns amassing 27 receptions for 312 yards and four scores Henderson was unable to replicate that success over the next two seasons as he navigated a series of injuries Henderson was limited to just 18 games in 2022 and 2023 accruing just 186 touches for 1,754 all-purpose yards and 18 total touchdowns He averaged just 6.0 yards per touch compared to 7.4 as a freshman Ohio State made a concerted effort to find a running back to complement Henderson to maximize his explosiveness and maintain his health before the 2024 season they recruited Judkins off the transfer portal to split the workload The result was a return to form for Henderson in Ohio State’s National Championship campaign Henderson carried the ball 144 times for 1,016 yards (7.1 yards per carry) and 10 touchdowns He also added 27 receptions for 284 yards and a receiving score Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson’s 94.1 In-Game Athleticism Score (IGA Score) is powered by a 22.0 mph max speed. #IGAScore pic.twitter.com/SWc9ECRf92 — Reel Analytics (@RAanalytics) January 1, 2025 Both Judkins and Henderson were selected in the second round of the NFL draft Henderson gained some late momentum as a potential first-round pick ahead of the draft but ultimately Judkins was selected first as the third running back drafted in the class The Cleveland Browns used the 36th overall pick on Judkins to serve as their replacement for Nick Chubb Judkins was immediately elevated to the top of the running back depth chart as the only back on the roster capable of handling the early-down volume Judkins does have the skill set to contribute on all three downs at the NFL level, but it seems like he will not get the chance. Jerome Ford is still on the roster and would likely serve as the team’s pass-catching back. The Browns also invested a fourth-round pick in Tennessee’s Dylan Sampson to serve as an explosive change-of-pace back and receiving threat out of the backfield Another complicating factor is the uncertainty about Cleveland’s offense Cleveland's offensive line is no longer one of the best units in the league and the team doesn’t seemingly have a long-term answer at quarterback Judkins may have landed with a team that will be playing behind due to a bad offense limiting his impact on games if he’s not on the field in passing situations Both Ford and Sampson ultimately cap Judkins’ upside He will likely lead Cleveland’s backfield in touches over the next few seasons but his ability to contribute high-value receiving fantasy points was certainly wiped out with Sampson joining the team Henderson was selected with the 38th overall pick by the New England Patriots to add some necessary explosion to the backfield his role in his first season (and potentially in future seasons) is far less certain New England gave Rhamondre Stevenson a four-year $36 million contract extension before the 2024 football season that kicks in during 2025 That contract ensures that Stevenson will be part of the team in 2025 and likely 2026 ($3.25 million dead cap) before his guaranteed money runs out Stevenson is far from a great running back but he has shown that he is more than capable of factoring into an NFL backfield he’s played in 44 games (33 starts) while averaging 191 carries Henderson will start his career in a timeshare although it is very likely that his role holds a lot of value as New England’s third-down back Considering how carefully Ohio State managed his workload to keep him healthy in college there is a chance he never fully develops into a bell cow back The Patriots worked hard to upgrade their offensive line this offseason, signing Morgan Moses and drafting Will Campbell to fortify the tackle position. The team also has 2024 first-round pick Drake Maye under center giving them a legitimate quarterback of the future fantasy managers picking between Henderson and Judkins are choosing between two good prospects A lot of the choice will come down to preference: do you want the explosive passing down back or the one who will have to grind out carries and score touchdowns to reach a scoring ceiling nobody wants to read an article where the verdict is qualifying both players so the recommendation here is to draft Henderson over Judkins in your 2025 rookie drafts Not only does Henderson offer more in the passing game but we do have an example of him handling a bell-cow workload in his collegiate profile (although it did end with injury) there is a chance that the Patriots' offense is far more productive than Cleveland’s for the duration of their rookie deals (Know that either option will have a positive impact on your running back room for 2025 and beyond if everyone stays healthy.)
