Bottom line: Devin Neal is a low-confidence, stash-level back for the 2025 Saints. He’s realistically behind a primary back (likely Kamara/Spears) and would need injuries or a personnel change to reach viable fantasy value in redraft. Dynasty value is the only clear positive long-term.

Key takeaways from the Reddit / combined data
- Red flags and context
  - Considered a backup/late-round rookie RB in a stacking bench strategy; not projected as a week-to-week starter.
  - In a Dynasty mock, he landed as 3.04–3.05 in a 1QB format, signaling speculative long-term upside rather than immediate redraft value.
- Role on the Saints (2025)
  - Likely to be behind the RB1 (Kamara) with limited Week-1 relevance.
  - Possible specialization: pass protection, a change-of-pace/receiving back if needed; special-teams duties could secure a practice squad-ultimately active roster role.
  - Competition matters: Saints have other RBs in the mix (and rumors/rookies often battle for change-of-pace roles). His path to consistent touches is contingent on injuries, trades, or a clear performance gap.
- Redraft outlook (2025)
  - Not a standard-league RB2 or flex play unless Kamara is unavailable or the Saints pivot to him as a larger part of the offense.
  - Floor: very low in weeks Kamara/other backs are healthy; ceiling: extremely situational (injury to top back, tight game script, or goal-line/short-yardage use if he earns a role).
  - Best-ball/double-digit bench leagues: only as a lottery ticket; otherwise, drop candidates if roster space is tight.
- Dynasty outlook
  - Positive long-term viability if he earns a stable backup role or assumes the RB1/handcuff path when Kamara’s contract/age window shifts.
  - Age/athletic profile plus Kansas background suggests a legitimate late-round stash with potential for increased 2026 usage if he demonstrates in 2025.
- Risk factors
  - High dependency on roster moves (Kamara status, injuries, backfield turnover).
  - Depth chart volatility; Saints could bring in another back or reallocate touches based on camp performance.
  - No guaranteed role outside of potential special-teams value.

Actionable notes and monitoring checklist
- In camp/preseason: watch for a clear ranking in the backfield, pass-blocking improvements, and involvement on 3rd downs.
- If Kamara is out or traded: quantify his immediate upside (likely a multi-game RB3 with flex upside in PPR).
- Dynasty moves: consider him as a mid-to-late stash if you have room; avoid overpaying in 12-team redraft-focused leagues.
- Redraft strategy: treat as a no-go unless you’re in a very deep league or you’re rostering Kamara with a late-round punt for handcuffing (only if you’re already invested in Saints’ backfield).

Concise takeaway
- 2025 redraft: unlikely to matter unless injury/roster moves create a small window.
- 2025 dynasty: hold as a sleeper with potential upside if he seizes the back-up role or Kamara’s situation shifts.
- Key variables to watch: Kamara’s status, camp depth chart, preseason performance, and any injury-driven opportunities.
