NFL running back. Position: RB. Team: LV.
Quick Facts

- College: Indiana

- Age (2026): 23
2026 Outlook
Undrafted free agent running back who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders after winning a national championship at Indiana in 2025. Hemby recorded 1,285 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 245 touches while leading the Hoosiers' offense in his final collegiate season. As a UDFA in Las Vegas, he faces a steep uphill battle to earn a roster spot, competing for the RB2 role behind Ashton Jeanty with Mike Washington Jr., Dylan Laube, and Chris Collier also in the mix. The Raiders' heavy investment in Jeanty (who dominated backfield touches with 321 in 2025) means Hemby's path to fantasy relevance remains limited. However, his elite college production and undrafted free agent status position him as a deep-league dart throw for dynasty managers—a long shot to carve out meaningful reps, but one worth monitoring if opportunity arises during training camp and preseason (per Rookie Fantasy Football Dynasty Running Back Rankings: After The Draft (2026)).
