2025 NFL Fantasy Football RB Rankings
Last Updated: August 24 2025 8:26 am| Rank | Name | Team | ADP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bijan Robinson | ATL | 2.25 |
| My pick at +1600 to win OPOY, Bijan is a highly bankable 3-down RB. 2,000 total yards and 17+ TDs reachable. | |||
| 2 | Jahmyr Gibbs | DET | 4.38 |
| With DET's stellar line and his multidimensionality, he's in the RB1 of 1s convo, even if opp share hovers around 60%. | |||
| 3 | Christian McCaffrey | SF | 10.04 |
| No restrictions in offseason workouts are a + sign. Risks are apparent, but stellar value in late 2nd in drafts. | |||
| 4 | Chase Brown | CIN | 29.42 |
| Tried to tell folks ex-Illini was real deal. Grabbed opportunity by the HUEVOS. Finished top 20 in YAC/att, MTF. | |||
| 5 | Saquon Barkley | PHI | 3.63 |
| Reigning champ will undoubtedly flex Saquads behind elite PHI line. Another 1800 tyds, 12-15 TDs at a minimum. | |||
| 6 | Ashton Jeanty | LV | 10.02 |
| Pint-sized punisher a Red Stripe bottle with feet. No. 1 in YAC, 15+ yd runs, MTF with Boise St. Immediate stud. | |||
| 7 | Josh Jacobs | GB | 22.92 |
| Fantastic target for WR in RD1 crowd. Another 300+ tches and top-5 ranking in RZ grips an inevitability. Dependable. | |||
| 8 | Jonathan Taylor | IND | 19.29 |
| 88.4% opp share ranked No. 1 at RB. More of the same, but QB situation is a drag. Proj: 1500 total yds, 12 TDs. | |||
| 9 | Derrick Henry | BAL | 12.50 |
| See hole. SMASH hole. UGGGHHH! Football Frankenstein continues to flatten tacklers at advanced age. YAC! | |||
| 10 | Bucky Irving | TB | 21.63 |
| What the Buck? Out-of-nowhere breakout in '24 likely to carry over to '25. Finished No. 1 among all RBs in YAC/att. | |||
| 11 | Kyren Williams | LAR | 29.71 |
| His RD3 price tag in 12-tm formats is inexplicable. If he plays all 17 gms, expect 300-350 touches. Exceptional value. | |||
| 12 | De'Von Achane | MIA | 14.75 |
| Incredibly explosive back likely to secure roughly 70% of opp share in solid offensive environment. Firm RB1. | |||
| 13 | James Cook | BUF | 39.21 |
| Trade winds swirled about Chef Boyardee of backs, but likely to stay in BUF. TD stud in '24 splashing 18 times. | |||
| 14 | Omarion Hampton | LAC | 46.71 |
| Thickly built rook is a Sherman tank. Will split with Najee, but Roman's 'total package' talk says 15+ tch/g. | |||
| 15 | Kenneth Walker III | SEA | 45.00 |
| The THIRD is a hard-flapping bird equipped with jukes and power. Finished top-10 in MTF in only 10 games last year. | |||
| 16 | James Conner | ARI | 57.33 |
| Terminator is self-aware yardage eater who finished top 15 in YAC/att, MTF and yds created/touch. Underrated. | |||
| 17 | Chuba Hubbard | CAR | 50.63 |
| Hubba Hubba. Panthers' ascending offense and Chuba's tremendous advanced metrics suggest another RB2 output. | |||
| 18 | Tony Pollard | TEN | 76.50 |
| Surprisingly earned 73% of opp share in '24. Ward's arrival helps. So does Spears' high-ankle sprain. UP! | |||
| 19 | Breece Hall | NYJ | 31.50 |
| Offseason trade rumors long in the past. NYJ offense has questions, but should be locked into 65-70% of opp share. | |||
| 20 | Alvin Kamara | NO | 40.71 |
| Fantasy fans will wait to see white smoke alerting Saints' QB pick. Could catch 70-80 balls playing from behind. | |||
| 21 | Isiah Pacheco | KC | 80.04 |
| Always chooses violence with the ball in his hands. Woeful inefficiency in limited 2024 action lowers his price tag. | |||
| 22 | David Montgomery | DET | 65.25 |
| Mandatory's rotational role and prevalent GL presence make him a desirable RB2. Bank on another 10-13 total TDs. | |||
| 23 | TreVeyon Henderson | NE | 59.33 |
| Will push Rhamondre for tchs right away. Legit 3-down skill set. Roughly 1,000 tyds, 40-50 recs and 5-7 TDs. | |||
| 24 | Tyrone Tracy Jr. | NYG | 92.71 |
| Former college WR showcased impressive skills late last year. Skattebo a threat, but will head up 1-2 punch. | |||
| 25 | RJ Harvey | DEN | 70.08 |
| Dobbin's arrival to DEN complicates his value, but still a likely FLEX staple in PPR formats. Invest. | |||
| 26 | Aaron Jones Sr. | MIN | 70.83 |
| Aging, and McCarthy's inexperience raises doubts. Still a steady producer who's likely to net 5+ YPT. | |||
| 27 | D'Andre Swift | CHI | 76.79 |
| CHI's lack of RB investment until RD7 in NFL Draft could mean Swift starts. Ben Johnson surely has reservations. | |||
| 28 | Kaleb Johnson | PIT | 71.33 |
| Has the jets and jukes to carve out sizable role right away for Tomlin. Offensive environment, however ... | |||
| 29 | Jaylen Warren | PIT | 93.75 |
| #RequisiteWarren immersed in another timeshare, this time with rookie Kaleb Johnson. A-Rod needs to sign ... now. | |||
| 30 | Tank Bigsby | JAC | 138.79 |
| As nickname suggests, he's a tackler flattener. His 3.74 YAC/att in '24 was third-best. Camp stock rising. | |||
| 31 | Jordan Mason | MIN | 106.17 |
| SQUACK! Mason is a certifiable goal-line vulture. MIN staff pegging him for formidable GL role. FLEXY SEXY! | |||
| 32 | Joe Mixon | HOU | 51.75 |
| Really a modern-day Curtis Martin. Consistent producer. However, foot injury clouds camp return date. | |||
| 33 | Javonte Williams | DAL | 118.50 |
| Hasn't exactly lived up to "Juggernaut" moniker, but new life in DAL. Probably 55% opp share in RBBC. | |||
| 34 | Travis Etienne Jr. | JAC | 107.63 |
| Once shiny luster has dulled. Finished outside top 40 in YPT, YAC/att and MTF in '24. Bigsby a threat. | |||
| 35 | J.K. Dobbins | Den | 121.13 |
| Probably an 11-13 carry RB in Denver. Fair TD upside. Compiled 3.00 YAC/att in '24 in 14 games. | |||
| 36 | Zach Charbonnet | SEA | 104.67 |
| When thrust into the lead role last year, he delivered premium lines. See Week 14 vs. Arizona. Stellar bench back. | |||
| 37 | Braelon Allen | NYJ | 173.29 |
| Opened eyes on occasion in rookie campaign despite what unexciting advanced data says. Only 21 years old. Stash. | |||
| 38 | Jacory Croskey-Merritt | Was | 162;52 |
| 'Bill' is no longer in the shadows. Primetime TD run and B-Rob trade speculation spikes ADP. | |||
| 39 | Trey Benson | Ari | 136.21 |
| The big-bodied Benson has garnered co-RB1 speculation. Conner will be RB1, but 10-12 tchs likely. | |||
| 40 | Rhamondre Stevenson | NE | 113.42 |
| Henderson's arrival combined with YAC decline (2.90 '24) imply he could become light side of timeshare. Yawn. | |||
| 41 | Nick Chubb | Hou | 190.14 |
| Gruesome knee setbacks have derailed HOF path, but at 29 may have something left. Mixon foot opens door. | |||
| 42 | Dylan Sampson | Cle | 166.78 |
| Versatile rookie's odds of starting Week 1still decent with uncertainties about Judkins. Long-term, however. | |||
| 43 | Austin Ekeler | WAS | 154.71 |
| Efficient in reduced role with WAS in '24. Tallied 5th-best fpts per opportunity and ranked No. 1 in YPT (6.5). | |||
| 44 | Jaydon Blue | ▲Dal | 133.93 |
| Back the Blue. Steady splashy runs in camp have opened eyes. Terrific burst. Ankle? | |||
| 45 | Quinshon Judkins | Cle | 151.29 |
| Criminal chargers no longer in play, but much to be determined. Needs to sign and be fully cleared. | |||
| 46 | Tyjae Spears | TEN | 128.29 |
| RB16 finish in fantasy pts per opportunity and RB11 standing in YPT raise interest. Ankle lowers bar. | |||
| 47 | Najee Harris | LAC | 101.17 |
| Nearly pulled a JPP on the 4th. Already in the doghouse. Hampton to overtake platoon lead in short order. | |||
| 48 | Brian Robinson Jr. | SF | 101.15 |
| Dealt to the 49ers for a sixth-rounder with full intention to operate as RB2 behind CMC. Handcuff only. | |||
| 49 | Kyle Monangai | CHI | 239.38 |
| Pride of Piscataway hiding in late-round weeds. Sensational zone runner who fits Johnson's scheme terrifically. | |||
| 50 | Cam Skattebo | NYG | 104.21 |
| Former Sun Devil is aiming to set the Big Apple ablaze. Will work in concert with Tracy, eventually. Hammy? | |||
