# Demond Claiborne

NFL player. Position: **Running Back (RB)**. Team: **Minnesota Vikings**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** Running Back (RB)
- **Team:** Minnesota Vikings (2026 draft pick, 6th round)
- **College:** Undisclosed

## 2026 Outlook

Claiborne landed in Minnesota as a sixth-round draft pick but immediately inherits opportunity with Aaron Jones entering the twilight of his career and Jordan Mason locked into a one-dimensional early-down role. Despite being undersized and posting poor receiving production in college, Claiborne's landing spot is ideal for Year 1 volume. Dynasty analysts see him as a sneaky third-round target in rookie drafts, with potential to stumble into a decent workload in his first season (per 10 Dynasty Rookie Draft Values to Target (2026 Fantasy Football) - FantasyPros).

## Role / Depth Chart

Third-string RB competing with Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason for snaps, with potential for increased carries if Jones declines.
