2025 Fantasy Football Rookie Running Backs Rankings
Digest more
McCaffrey is currently ranked as the No. 13 player overall and a borderline first-round draft pick by our staff on Fantasy Football Today. This is despite finishing well ahead of all players in two of the last three seasons in Fantasy points per game. You won't find a player drafted outside of the top-10 overall with the same kind of upside.
Elijah Jeudy, DT Sr. The raw bulk isn’t there on the Husker defensive front. It’s a front three relying on quickness and a rotation to keep everyone attacking. It needs a true anchor, though, and that’s where Jeudy needs to be a rock. He’s got the experience and the skills, and he also appears ready to take over as a main man up front.

Hurts has relied heavily on the Tush Push for touchdowns in fantasy football. He would not net 11 touchdowns from the 1-yard line without it. He has good legs and could potentially use them for scores without the play popularized by Philly, but 11 is far less feasible. Luckily for him, his TD ceiling remains.
Mims is the painfully obvious better-in-best-ball option here. He had just five fantasy relevant games last year, and when Mims hits, he hits. Banking on a handful of big fantasy performances seems like a safe bet for Mims, whose ADP remains reasonable.
