Saquon Barkley, PHI: Fantasy's No.1 RB in 2024 with huge workload. What can he do for an encore?
|
| |
Bijan Robinson, ATL: 4th in RB targets last season. Likely the top RB off the board in most leagues.
|
| |
Jahmyr Gibbs, DET: 302 touches last year. Overall RB1 in PPR leagues.
|
| |
Derrick Henry, BAL: Perfect system for Henry. Still a solid RB1 option given his age (31).
|
| |
Christian McCaffrey, SF: Consistently goes in the mid-first round after Bijan, Barkley, Gibbs.
|
| |
Ashton Jeanty, LV: Workhorse from Day 1. 300 touches incoming.
|
| |
Josh Jacobs, GB: Jacobs turned in the second-best fantasy performance of his career last season (RB5). Green Bay's workhorse.
|
| |
Chase Brown, CIN: Took on a workhorse role the last half of 2024.
|
| |
De'Von Achane, MIA: More valuable in PPR leagues. Led all RBs in receptions (78) and receiving yards (592) last season.
|
| |
Jonathan Taylor, IND: Hasn't played a full season since 2021. Managed to finish as the RB8 last season despite missing 3 games.
|
| |
Kyren Williams, LAR: Doesn't do much in the passing game but is basically a lock for double-digit rushing TDs.
|
| |
Bucky Irving, TB: Took over starting RB role late last season. Mid-range RB1 is certainly within his upside.
|
| |
James Cook, BUF: Went bonkers in the TD department last season. Expect some regression.
|
| |
Omarion Hampton, LAC: The rookie will take on a workhorse role, the question is when?
|
| |
Kenneth Walker, SEA: Missed 6 games in 2024. Been a consistent RB2 his first three years in the league.
|
| |
Chuba Hubbard, CAR: Impressive RB1/RB2 borderline season in 2024. No Jonathon Brooks in 2025.
|
| |
Breece Hall, NYJ: Off-season vibes have been bad. Likely to move on after 2025.
|
| |
David Montgomery, DET: Injury kept his production down but still back-to-back double-digit TD seasons.
|
| |
D'Andre Swift, CHI: Lead RB role seems secure as week into Week 1.
|
| |
Alvin Kamara, NO: Still a PPR threat. 2nd in receptions among RBs last season (68) despite missing 3 games.
|
| |
James Conner, ARI: Cardinals will ride Conner as long as he's healthy.
|
| |
Tony Pollard, TEN: Low-end RB2 as he shares time with Spears.
|
| |
TreVeyon Henderson, NE: Good receiver. Likely a good weekly Flex option in PPR leagues. Prefer him over Rhamondre.
|
| |
Aaron Jones, MIN: 30 years old. Played through injuries last season on way to mid-range RB2 finish.
|
| |
Kaleb Johnson, PIT: Rookie should have Flex value beginning Week 1.
|
| |
Tyrone Tracy Jr., NYG: Should hang onto starting role but competition behind him is real.
|
| |
RJ Harvey, DEN: Good landing spot but addition of Dobbins is a wet blanket. RB2 upside.
|
| |
Isiah Pacheco, KC: Didn't look great last season returning from broken leg. Perhaps more time off will help heading into 2025.
|
| |
Jaylen Warren, PIT: May see slightly more work with Najee gone and a rookie in the mix. Only 6 career TDs.
|
| |
Javonte Williams, DAL: Couldn't break through in Denver. Why would Dallas be any different? Likely to get first crack at starting job.
|
| |
Rhamondre Stevenson, NE: Fantasy stock on the decline. May be sharing time with rookie Henderson.
|
| |
Jordan Mason, MIN: Valuable fantasy backup in case Jones misses time.
|
| |
Zach Charbonnet, SEA: Good flier in the mid-to-late rounds. Capable of workhorse role if Walker goes down.
|
| |
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, WAS: Fantasy value elevated after B-Rob trade. WAS likely to use RBBC but 'Bob' is a worthy bench option.
|
| |
Travis Etienne, JAC: Not confident Etienne is the lead back anymore. Tank and rookie Tuten in the mix.
|
| |
Austin Ekeler, WAS: 30 years old. Fantasy value on the downswing.
|
| |
J.K. Dobbins, DEN: Addition of Dobbins spells doom for McLaughlin and Estime.
|
| |
Rachaad White, TB: Should work more on third downs after losing early-down role to Bucky.
|
| |
Najee Harris, LAC: Fireworks strike again! Returned to practice on 8/26.
|
| |
Jerome Ford, CLE: Could split time with Sampson early in the season if Judkins isn't ready.
|
| |
Tyler Allgeier, ATL: Good late-round flier. Big role if Bijan goes down.
|
| |
Braelon Allen, NYJ: Has competition for touches with Isaiah Davis.
|
| |
Trey Benson, ARI: Rumblings he may get more early-down work this year. Great late-round bench stash.
|
| |
Bhayshul Tuten, JAC: Wide range of outcomes for rookie RB. Could be stuck behind Etienne and Bigsby or could get significant work in Year 1.
|
| |
Ray Davis, BUF: Has some late-round appeal in a rushing offense.
|
| |
Tank Bigsby, JAC: Got more playing time in Year 2. Yet to see what new coaching staff thinks of this RB room.
|
| |
Brian Robinson Jr., SF: Lands in SF. Good contingent value if McCaffrey gets injured but will likely split time in that scenario with Guerendo.
|
| |
Jaydon Blue, DAL: The most upside in the Cowboys RB room. Sprained ankle in final pre-season game.
|
| |
Cam Skattebo, NYG: Rookie could find a role in short-yardage and goaline with some upside of cutting into Tracy's workload.
|
| |
Tyjae Spears, TEN: Stock falling due to high ankle sprain in pre-season. Out first 4 weeks.
|
| |
Rico Dowdle, CAR: Will backup Chuba.
|
| |
Quinshon Judkins, CLE: Arrested in mid-July. Has no contract as of 8/25. Browns have other viable options at the position.
|
| |
Will Shipley, PHI: Will take over the Gainwell role and has massive upside if Barkley misses time.
|
| |
Dylan Sampson, CLE: Worth a late-round flier given Judkins situation.
|
| |
Kareem Hunt, KC: Lacks elusiveness. Has to get there on volume which isn't gong to be the case if Pacheco stays healthy.
|
| |
Devin Singletary, NYG: Coach's favorite but doesn't offer anything special. Could be a cut/trade candidate this Summer.
|
| |
Kendre Miller, NO: Two years in the league and has struggled to get on the field.
|
| |
Miles Sanders, DAL: Unlikely to win starting gig or get a meaningful fantasy role.
|
| |
Blake Corum, LAR: Kyren gets all the work which makes Corum a bench stash.
|
| |
Isaac Guerendo, SF: Shoulder issue. Brian Robinson Jr. now the No.2 RB in SF.
|
| |
Ty Chandler, MIN: Mason being brought in is not a good sign for Chandler's fantasy value.
|
| |
Jaylen Wright, MIA: Will compete with Ollie Gordon for touches in a backup role.
|
| |
Joe Mixon, HOU: Foot injury. No guarantee he's ready for Week 1. He's firmly on the Do-Not-Draft list.
|
| |
Devin Neal, NO: Could easily win the backup job to Kamara given the team's shaky confidence in Miller.
