2025 Fantasy Football Rankings – Running Backs

Last Updated: August 1


Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-75 |

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
21. Aaron Jones, RB, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Aaron Jones had a great year and managed to remain healthy for once. He’s now 31, so it’ll be surprising if that happens again. Jones will be helped by major improvements to the offensive line.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 950 rushing yards. 50 catches. 390 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 176.

22. Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints. Bye: 11.

Alvin Kamara is now 30, so it’s fair to expect him to slow down. He’ll still be a PPR machine though.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 830 rushing yards. 65 catches. 510 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 176.

23. James Conner, RB, Cardinals. Bye: 8.

James Conner once again had a strong finish to a season, but he’s now 30.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 950 rushing yards. 38 catches. 310 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 174.

24. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Steelers. Bye: 5.

Zamir White looked good down the stretch in 2023, but he was a colossal disappointment last year.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 950 rushing yards. 10 catches. 50 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 162.

25. David Montgomery, RB, Lions. Bye: 8.

David Montgomery is no longer the first running back on the field. Jahmyr Gibbs is now getting the first-team looks. Montgomery’s stock has taken a serious hit with Ben Johnson and two interior linemen both gone.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 810 rushing yards. 30 catches. 260 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 161.

26. Tony Pollard, RB, Titans. Bye: 10.

Tony Pollard rushed for 1,000-plus yards for the third-consecutive season. He showed more explosion last year than he did in 2023.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 1,030 rushing yards. 38 catches. 220 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 161.

27. Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seahawks. Bye: 8.

Zach Charbonnet is a premium backup who should be owned regardless.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 650 rushing yards. 38 catches. 290 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 161.

28. Tyrone Tracy, RB, Giants. Bye: 14.

Tyrone Tracy was an electric player for the Giants as a rookie.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 1,020 rushing yards. 45 catches. 340 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 160.

29. R.J. Harvey, RB, Broncos. Bye: 12.

R.J. Harvey has enjoyed some terrific performances in training camp practices thus far. Sean Payton wants to run multiple backs, so don’t expect him to handle the workload on his own. However, Harvey’s outlook is better now, as it seems as though he’ll be one of the top two backs.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 910 rushing yards. 18 catches. 130 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 156.

30. Brian Robinson, RB, Redskins. Bye: 12.

Brian Robinson has rushed between 733 and 799 yards in each of his three seasons. He saw his receptions number drop hard last year because of Austin Ekeler.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 850 rushing yards. 28 catches. 230 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 156.

31. Joe Mixon, RB, Texans. Bye: 6.

Joe Mixon will be out at least six weeks with a foot injury. This is obviously not good news. Six weeks puts us at Sept. 7, which is the Sunday of Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Mixon is pushing to play in Week 1, but if he tries to return too early, he could aggravate the injury or suffer some other malady.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 770 rushing yards. 28 catches. 190 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 144.

32. Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Patriots. Bye: 14.

Rhamondre Stevenson’s blocking is terrible, but he continues to get opportunities. TreVeyon Henderson could steal his workloa.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 810 rushing yards. 26 catches. 160 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 133.

33. Isaac Guerendo, RB, 49ers. Bye: 14.

Isaac Gurendo is a premium handcuff because he’ll post RB1 numbers if the injury-prone Christian McCaffrey gets hurt.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 600 rushing yards. 20 catches. 150 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 131.

34. Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers. Bye: 5.

Jaylen Warren took a back seat to Najee Harris last year. He’s the starter right now, but Kaleb Johnson will push for the starting role.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 630 rushing yards. 44 catches. 370 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 128.

35. Jaydon Blue, RB, Cowboys. Bye: 10.

Jayden Blue got reps with the first-team offense in practice, according to reporter Clarence Hill. While Hill is an insane individual who belongs in a mental ward, but I’m a big fan of Blue as a player who could have a big second half of the year.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 650 rushing yards. 32 catches. 240 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 128.

36. Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans. Bye: 10.

Tyjae Spears is an excellent waiver wire pick-up if Tony Pollard were to get hurt.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 520 rushing yards. 52 catches. 410 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 128.

37. Jordan Mason, RB, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Jordan Mason proved to be a great backup behind Christian McCaffrey. He’s worth owning just in case Aaron Jones gets hurt.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 650 rushing yards. 10 catches. 80 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 128.

38. JK Dobbins, RB, Broncos

JK Dobbins made many explosive plays last year despite coming off a torn Achilles. He could get plenty of work in Denver despite the second-round pick used on R.J. Harvey.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 650 rushing yards. 20 catches. 120 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 127.

39. Jerome Ford, RB, Browns. Bye: 9.

Jerome Ford has done a solid job replacing Nick Chubb, but he’ll have to fend off Quinshon Judkins.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 630 rushing yards. 35 catches. 200 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 126.

40. Cam Skattebo, RB, Giants. Bye: 14.

Cam Skattebo has been playing with the first team and has been impressive in training camp practices. I’ve been anti-Skattebo because he’s been drafted so early, but this may have been an incorrect evaluation.

Projected 2025 Fantasy Stats: 530 rushing yards. 24 catches. 170 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2025 Fantasy Points: 126.
