The running back position was considered the deepest in the 2025 NFL Draft, at least as it pertains to offensive skill position players. The class is led by Ashton Jeanty, who was taken sixth overall by the Las Vegas Raiders. Not only will he be the first rookie running back off the board in dynasty drafts, he’s also likely to be the first overall player drafted in 2025.

Unfortunately for those in redraft leagues, a majority of the other rookie runners don’t have a clear path to significant Year 1 touches. Omarion Hampton projects to share carries with Najee Harris in Los Angeles next season, but he has featured back potential beyond that. TreVeyon Henderson will have to share work with Rhamondre Stevenson in New England, but he could push to become their lead runner at some point in the next few seasons.

On a more positive note, Quinshon Judkins will be given every chance to lead the Cleveland Browns backfield. The same can be said of Kaleb Johnson in Pittsburgh and R.J. Harvey with the Denver Broncos. Jaydon Blue also landed in a good spot with the Dallas Cowboys.

With that said, here’s my initial look at my top 15 fantasy running backs for dynasty drafts.
