2022 Fantasy Outlook
Despite his name, speed is the name of Strong's game, not power. The fourth-round pick out of South Dakota State opened eyes with a 4.37 40-yard dash at the 2022 Combine, the fastest time of any running back in this year's draft class. He showed good vision and elusiveness in college, albeit not against top-level competition, and his 10 career touchdowns of 50 or more yards show the speed translates in pads. While Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson are slated to share early down duties in the Patriots' backfield, the retirement of James White could offer Strong a path to a change-of-pace role in the team's offense if he impresses during the preseason.

Logs 10 carries in rookie season
RBNew England Patriots
January 16, 2023
Strong finished the 2022 season with 10 carries for 100 yards and a TD in 15 games to go along with seven catches (on seven targets) for 42 yards.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 fourth-rounder saw limited action as a rookie, with Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris handling the bulk of the Patriots' backfield duties. With Harris slated to become a free agent this offseason, there could be snaps and touches up for grabs next season for Strong, as well as 2022 sixth-rounder Kevin Harris. Though Strong is no threat to supplant Stevenson, the 5-foot-11, 205-pounder out of South Dakota State could potentially carve out enough of a change-of-pace role during his second pro campaign to merit fantasy consideration in PPR formats.
