The 2025 running back draft class was loaded with talent, so fantasy football managers should have a number of potential impact makers to choose from in their dynasty drafts. The group is led by Ashton Jeanty, who will be the first overall rookie selected in both redraft and long-term leagues.

Omarion Hampton is next in line among rookie fantasy runners, as he'll be in play to lead the Chargers' backfield in touches in Year 1. Quinshon Judkins appears to have a clear path to workload with the Cleveland Browns with Nick Chubb no longer on the roster. TreVeyon Henderson should be in a committee (at worst) with veteran runner Rhamondre Stevenson in his first year in New England.

The rest of my top 20 running backs are all potential NFL starters down the line or future committee backs at the next level.
