The 2025 NFL offseason has seen many moves that have affected the running back position from a fantasy football perspective. The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Ashton Jeanty, the L.A. Chargers signed Najee Harris and drafted Omarion Hampton, Javonte Williams signed with the Dallas Cowboys and Quinshon Judkins was drafted by the Cleveland Browns.

That’s just a few of the moves that will have an impact on 2025 fantasy drafts.

While there are still some notable free agents that could make an impact on fantasy drafts, including the eventual landing spots for J.K. Dobbins and Nick Chubb, we do have a clearer view of what the running back position and potential depth charts will look like for 2025.

While many of the backs in the top 20 are incumbents, you’ll see that Jeanty is in my top five as a rookie. Hampton will likely lose some work to Harris, but he’s still pushed into the RB2 conversation in the offense of Chargers OC Greg Roman.

On the flip side, the offseason has been bad for Isiah Pacheco. The Chiefs signed Elijah Mitchell and re-signed Kareem Hunt, so Pacheco has moved off the RB1 radar and is now more of a flex option.

Speaking of Mitchell, his former team, the San Francisco 49ers, lost Mitchell and traded away Jordan Mason to Minnesota. That move makes Issac Guerendo more valuable as a fantasy handcuff behind injury-prone starter Christian McCaffrey. Also, Mason moving to the Vikings puts a damper on the value of Aaron Jones in what projects as a committee.

Without further ado, here’s a look at my updated 2025 fantasy running back rank lists.
