The 2025 NFL offseason has seen several moves that have affected the running back position from a fantasy football perspective. Najee Harris signed with the Los Angeles Chargers,  Javonte Williams landed in Dallas, and Rico Dowdle left the Cowboys for Carolina. That’s just a few of the transactions that will impact 2025 fantasy football drafts.

While there are still more moves to be made, including the eventual landing spots for guys like J.K. Dobbins and Nick Chubb, we do have a clearer view of what the running back position will look like for next season … at least heading into the upcoming NFL Draft.

While many of the backs in the top 20 are incumbents, you’ll see that Harris has 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 low RB2.

Speaking of Mitchell, his former team, the San Francisco 49ers, lost him 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 running back rank lists.
