Dynasty RB Rankings 2025 (Running Back)

Updated on Fri, 5 Dec 2025

These 2025 Dynasty RB Rankings build off our award-winning projections.

We take a weighted average of each player’s projection for this season plus his past two years of actual production. From there, we generate three-year, five-year, and 10-year projections to help assess each player’s long-term outlook.

Plus, you’ll find two decades of NFL research combined with a series of machine-learning models to deliver aging curves and expected retirement rates specific to every RB archetype.

The result: The clearest possible picture of a player’s current and long-term value.

Tier 1
1	Bijan Robinson B Robinson ATL RB1	N/A	5	23.8	243	690	1,111	1,866	Robinson profiled as the best RB prospect since Saquon Barkley. Thickly built and explosive, the Texas product simply never earned a consistent role under HC Arthur Smith. With Smith out of town, Robinson's production exploded to 1,881 total yards and 15 TDs in 2024. He's on track to remain a clear RB1 for the forseeable future	100

2	Jahmyr Gibbs J Gibbs DET RB2	N/A	8	23.7	247	676	1,090	1,816	Despite a slow start, Gibbs largely delivered as a rookie RB. He averaged 5.2 YPC and popped in 10 TDs on 182 attempts, adding 52 receptions. His production reached new heights in 2024, and he proved more than capable as a workhorse back following a late-season injury to David Montgomery. Only 23, Gibbs shouldn't slow down any time soon	98

3	Jonathan Taylor J Taylor IND RB3	N/A	11	26.8	272	659	1,014	1,661	Ankle issues and a sluggish Colts offense forced a major drop in production in 2022. Injuries and a contract dispute made headlines in 2023, but when healthy, Taylor flashed his high-end talent. Taylor missed three games in 2024 but remained busy on a per game basis (23 touches per). The former Round 2 pick is under contract for two more seasons	91

4	Omarion Hampton O Hampton LAC RB4	N/A	12	22.7	114	602	948	1,612	Hampton has carried the North Carolina offense for two years (including when Drake Maye was the QB). The former four-star recruit tallied two straight years of 1,500+ rushing yards and 15 TDs, and he brings solid receiving potential. A shifty runner who can hit the home run, Hampton showed his athleticism by crushing the Combine with a 4.48 40-yard dash and a 38" vertical. He landed in a dreamy long-term spot with HC Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers. Hampton should work in tandem with Najee Harris this fall -- and then handle a clear lead role in ‘26	81

5	Ashton Jeanty A Jeanty LVR RB5	N/A	8	22	191	581	958	1,672	Jeanty went from a 1,900 total yard sophomore season to a 2,700 total yard junior season. He boasts elite contact balance, burst, and receiving ability. Jeanty’s landing spot in Vegas should support some massive workloads over the next few seasons.	81

6	De'Von Achane D Achane MIA RB6	N/A	12	24.1	230	560	864	1,380	Achane's rushing efficiency hit a snag in year two. But his receiving work went through the roof: 78 catches, 592 yards, and 6 TDs. Another RB1 season is in play for 2025, although we'll see if Miami looks to work in more of second-year RB Jaylen Wright	71

7	Quinshon Judkins Q Judkins CLE RB7	N/A	9	22.1	166	534	838	1,419	Judkins has a chance to become an immediate three-down back. He answered questions about his athleticism with a 4.48 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. We’ll see how he works alongside Round 4 RB Dylan Sampson	68

Tier 4
8	Bucky Irving B Irving TB RB8	N/A	9	23.3	122	475	759	1,289	Irving performed as one of the most elusive RBs in the 2024 class. From 2022 to 2023, he forced a missed tackle every 2.5 carries – a terrific mark. That elusiveness translated to the pros right away, as he tallied 5.4 yards per carry and 1,513 total yards. He's locked up lead back work for 2025	58

He's locked up lead back work for 2025
9	Josh Jacobs J Jacobs GB RB9	N/A	5	27.8	221	494	737	1,164	The Raiders declined Jacobs’ 5th-year option in 2022, then watched him enjoy his most productive year as a pro. He took a step back in 2023 while playing under the franchise tag, but he was utilized heavily under interim HC Antonio Pierce. He inked a 4-year deal with Green Bay, where his efficiency ticked up and a career-high 16 TDs surfaced in the fall. At 27, another 1-2 years of RB1 production is realistic	56

10	Saquon Barkley S Barkley PHI RB10	N/A	9	28.8	232	489	739	1,193	Barkley hit as our 2022 Comeback Pick. 2023 turned up an ugly QB situation and poor efficiency on strong volume. Barkley expressed interest in returning to New York but ultimately joined a superior environment in Philly. From there, he enjoyed a historic 2024 with 2,005 yards and 15 total TDs. Another 1-2 seasons of top-end RB1 production are reasonable	56

11	Breece Hall B Hall NYJ RB11	N/A	9	24.5	191	478	746	1,192	The 36th overall pick, Hall looked to be on his way to an excellent rookie year. Then came an ACL tear in Week 7. Only 22, the Iowa State product returned for Week 1, 2023, proving both durable and effective in a tough situation. A largely ineffective Aaron Rodgers limited Hall this past fall, while the RB also battled through a knee injury. 2025 turns up a contract year as he competes with Braelon Allen for carries	56

Tier 5
12	James Cook J Cook BUF RB12	N/A	7	26.2	236	478	689	1,015	Cook was a fantasy non-factor for most of his rookie season. When given chances, though, he showcased the burst that made him the RB2 in the 2022 draft. That trait truly surfaced in 2023, especially late as Buffalo fired OC Ken Dorsey and elevated QB coach Joe Brady. Then, at 25, Cook erupted for a massive 18 total TDs in 16 games. The TDs will certainly go down as a career-high. But as long as he sticks with Josh Allen long-term, his lead back role will remain highly desirable	50

13	TreVeyon Henderson T Henderson NE RB13	N/A	14	23.1	153	448	708	1,169	Henderson was highly recruited and is insanely explosive when given space. He also shows elite receiving ability but doesn't regularly break through contact. He ran as expected at the Combine with a 4.43 40-yard dash and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. Henderson projects as an upside PPR back and should eventually see the lion’s share of the rushing work in New England	50

14	Christian McCaffrey C McCaffrey SF RB14	N/A	14	29.4	261	457	658	1,053	CMC was excellent in 2023, finishing as the clear-cut RB1. Then came a nightmare 2024 that included multiple lower-body injuries (and only 50 total carries). He'll be a rebound candidate in 2025 -- but durability concerns figure to remain for the 29-year-old	48

15	Kyren Williams K Williams LAR RB15	N/A	8	25.3	202	396	612	1,049	Williams further solidified himself as a top RB in 2024, logging 1,481 scrimmage yards and 16 TDs. L.A. spent a Round 3 pick on Blake Corum, but he was lightly used throughout the season. Williams signed a new deal locking him in with the Rams long-term.	41

16	Cameron Skattebo C Skattebo NYG RB16	N/A	14	23.8	66	386	605	976	Skattebo will get plenty of hype as a hard-nosed runner with 1,711 rushing yards in 2024. Arizona State utilized him in the passing game plenty, but he doesn’t present top-notch athleticism. Skattebo did show his explosion at the NFL Combine with a 39.5" vertical. While his Round 4 draft capital isn’t ideal, Skattebo landed in a fine spot for opportunity	35

18	Javonte Williams J Williams DAL RB18	N/A	10	25.6	202	340	485	619	Williams entered 2022 with enormous expectations. But only four games in, he suffered an ACL/LCL tear in his right knee. He was rarely unleashed in Year 3 under HC Sean Payton. An inconsistent role remained a theme this past fall. At 25, he landed in a solid spot with Dallas in the early stages of free agency.	26

19	RJ Harvey R Harvey DEN RB19	N/A	12	24.8	131	346	493	630	Harvey was a surprise second round pick, but two straight years of 1,400 rushing yards and good receiving skills could make him the “Alvin Kamara” of Sean Payton’s offense. He likely won’t immediately be a three-down back, but there is long term upside to get there for a Broncos team that likes to run	25

20	Bhayshul Tuten B Tuten JAC RB20	N/A	8	23.8	95	300	466	806	Tuten carried the Virginia Tech offense for two years after transferring from North Carolina A&T. He has excellent speed and vision and is also a top-notch returner. Though Tuten's short-area quickness leaves a lot to be desired, he flashed receiving upside as a sophomore. He posted elite numbers at the NFL Combine as the fastest RB in the 40-yard dash, running a 4.32. He also had the best Vertical (40.5"). Tuten could earn lead-back status by late 2025	24

21	Trey Benson T Benson ARI RB21	N/A	8	23.3	70	280	472	795	Benson’s college career started ominously with a multi-ligament knee tear at Oregon (2020). Transferring to Florida State in 2022, the 6’0, 216-pounder showcased an ideal blend of power and speed. That carried over to the Combine, where he posted an elite 9.78 Relative Athletic Score. He entered the league with plenty of tread on his tires after tallying 156 and 154 carries over his final two college seasons, but a healthy James Conner limited the rookie’s impact. Arizona signed Conner to an extension in 2024, muddying Benson’s short-term outlook	23

22	Chase Brown C Brown CIN RB22	N/A	10	25.7	182	340	447	594	Well-built at ~5’9, 209 pounds, Brown produced a monster 328-1,643-10 rushing line at Illinois in 2022. He then blew up the NFL Combine with a 4.43 forty, a 40-inch vertical, and a 127-inch broad jump. After a quiet rookie year, Brown showed he belongs as a big piece of Cincy's backfield.	23

23	Woody Marks W Marks HOU RB23	N/A	6	24.9	135	290	450	760	Marks is the perfect receiving back in the NFL with over 1,400 career receiving yards from the RB position. He is an average athlete, but ran a ton of routes at both Mississippi State and USC. He could develop into a deep-league PPR option – and the Joe Mixon handcuff – as early as 2025.	23

Tough runner with a low pad level who can work well through contact. Has also flashed on some outside runs. Solid NFL back-up whose best football may still be in front of him.	22
