2025 Fantasy Outlook
Haynes was part of a committee backfield with Alabama in 2024, splitting touches with Jamarion Miller. Despite ceding attempts to the more experienced back, Haynes proved to be the more efficient runner, totaling 448 yards and seven touchdowns on nearly six yards per attempt. With running backs Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards both gone, Haynes appears set to slide into the premier spot in the Michigan backfield, giving freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood an experienced runner to rely on behind him. Despite Michigan making an offensive coordinator change to Chip Lindsey in an attempt to "modernize" the offense, the offense remains run-friendly in Ann Arbor. Haynes could be primed for a breakout season as a potential bellcow ball carrier, though Jordan Marshall and UMass transfer CJ Hester remain on hand as options to spell him, with Marshall potentially handling a decent-sized workload himself.

Doubtful for The Game
Foot
November 17, 2025
Haynes (foot) is doubtful for Michigan's regular-season finale Nov. 29 against Ohio State, Austin Meek of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Haynes is not ruled out for postseason action, but it looks like the regular season including him again is no longer a possibility. He will sit out Michigan's next game Saturday at Maryland, and the Game thereafter is unlikely to feature his services as well. Ohio State's team has gone undefeated since its last meeting with Michigan, and the Wolverines' absence of their superstar running back may prove costly in ending the winning streak of their most successful rival this season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Haynes is yet another talented running back added by the Tide. The freshman is a five-star recruit and largely considered the top running back prospect in the nation heading into his first year at Alabama. His father, Vernon Haynes was a running back at Georgia and a fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2002. While his father was more of a bruiser, Justice is a tad lighter but considered far more explosive. In high school, the younger Haynes posted video game numbers, rushing for 7,574 yards and 95 touchdowns. As a senior, he averaged an outrageous 11.1 yards per carry. Haynes is currently listed behind seniors Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams on the depth chart. While both McClellan and Williams have plenty of experience at Alabama, neither has been a featured running back during their time with the Tide. As a result, expect Haynes to work his way into the rotation early on, especially if the veterans struggle out of the gate.
