Running back is one of the most fluid positions in dynasty fantasy football. Injuries are plentiful, job security is murky at best and volume is unpredictable. These 2025 dynasty running back rankings will show where tier breaks occur, targets for rebuilders versus competitors, and analysis on key names in each tier.<\/p>\n
* Indicates a rebuilding target who could rise in the rankings, but has risk associated. ^ Indicates a veteran who might not have a long shelf-life, but will be useful for competing teams.<\/em><\/p>\n Bijan Robinson<\/strong><\/p>\n Jahmyr Gibbs<\/strong><\/p>\n Ashton Jeanty<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Robinson and Gibbs can be moved into whatever order people want. They’re both exceptional real life backs, and are getting enough touches to be fantasy relevant for years to come. Ashton Jeanty checks all the boxes we want in a prospect, and it might be too early to put him here, but the only way this doesn’t work out is a terrible landing spot.<\/p>\n Watch – Ashton Jeanty All-22 Film Study<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Breece Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n DeVon Achane<\/strong><\/p>\n Saquon Barkley^<\/strong><\/p>\n Jonathan Taylor<\/strong><\/p>\n Omarion Hampton<\/strong><\/p>\n TreVeyon Henderson<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, three rookies in the top ten. That’s how good the class<\/a> is, and why early firsts will be extremely valuable for RB-needy teams. 2025 dynasty running back rankings get weird after this tier, as each of these players has an argument to be a top-five running back in any given season. Barkley gets the veteran tag, but in no way is he a sell low. Breece Hall<\/a>, DeVon Achane and Jonathon Taylor<\/a> are stuck on rough offenses, but their individual talent will eventually shine through.<\/p>\n Kenneth Walker<\/strong><\/p>\n Bucky Irving<\/strong><\/p>\n Kyren Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n Kaleb Johnson*<\/strong><\/p>\n Quinshon Judkins*<\/strong><\/p>\n James Cook<\/strong><\/p>\n Josh Jacobs<\/strong><\/p>\n Derrick Henry^<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s not 1990, tiny backs can succeed in the NFL. Bucky Irving and Kyren Williams<\/a> continue to buck trends on size versus expected production. Kenneth Walker is expected to benefit from a different offensive coordinator in Seattle, and both of the rookies are early-down grinders with better pass-catching chops than they get credit for. Derrick Henry is one of those players that if you have him, he’s retiring on your roster. Maybe that’s next year, maybe in two years, but however long he’s stiff-arming guys he’ll be in our fantasy lineups.<\/p>\n2025 Dynasty Running Back Rankings – Rookies and Veterans to Target<\/h2>\n
