2025 Top-35 Dynasty Running Back Rankings & Tiers! (w/ Rookies!)

[@NYJetsForLife2024]

Great Content!

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Thank you!

[@Spike0617]

My team was struggling at RB early in the year with just JT and Pacheco. Thankfully, Chase Brown came on at the mid-point and then I stole Barkley in a trade in week 9. Things are looking much better heading into next year.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

🔥🔥🔥

[@itsBuckeyeDK]

I think Tracy might be really good next year with more structure in that passing offense. Especially with a good personal offseason focused on being a better RB. He played WR for a while before he switched to RB. If he gains a little weight with a better offense hell be a top 15 in my opnion

[@neilsashti5290]

There's no argument you can make for Breece over Achane

[@cassiuscarter2832]

Hes the Gibbs while Breece is the Bijan. Breece is a way better all around work horse back his floor should be much higher. Achane can score alot of fantasy points in his current offense but im not sure he could go to the jets and be elite

[@Scootsie16]

Thank you for the breakdown! Based on your rankings who do you think are the most undervalued RBs on this list?

[@nhoster31]

10 team 1/2 ppr 1qb league. I have bijan, gibbs, breece and chuba. WRs are chase, AJB, MHJ, waddle, DJ Moore, Mooney. 1st round exit in the playoffs lol. QB and TE is my biggest weakness (dak and kincaid are my respective starters). See any moves i can make to tier up to a more elite QB or TE?

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

How many starters?

[@nhoster31]

@DynastyLeagueFootball just 7. 1qb, 2 rbs, 2 wrs, 1 te, 1 flex

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Ok, so you can’t even start all four of those RBs. Can you use Chuba maybe to get an elite QB? And then maybe you move like DJM and Kincaid for McBride or something?

[@nhoster31]

@DynastyLeagueFootball I'll def give it a shot. The guy who has mahomes and Mcbride needs all kind of help so maybe I can work something out with him. Thanks!

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

That would be dope!

[@nathanwoosley5466]

Always love the content but can we have a video with these running back and where you would put the upcoming RB as a bold prediction. I know landing spots play a huge role. But I’m just curious.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

What do you mean?

[@nathanwoosley5466]

@ the upcoming rookie RB class for 2025

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

I get that, but I guess I don’t understand the “bold predictions” part. That’s a different rankings video than the rookies being added into here?

[@sdpints3189]

What do you think about Tank Bigsby? I like his size at 5'11" and 215lbs. I'm thinking I keep him as an RB4 (behind Gibbs, Barkley and Jacobs). Still, I'd like to get another young RB with my 1.5 or 1.9 picks.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Yeah I think Bigsby is a fine depth piece that could have some upside if things roll his way

[@carlaauri8461]

Great tier list. Happy you included this year’s rookies.❤️

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Thank you for watching!

[@nicklowri]

Where do you rank tank bigsby? I wonder with the turnover in Jacksonville if he takes on an even bigger role

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Potentially. I’d have him in the next tier probably with Warren, Spears, etc.

[@justinleslie9660]

Would you be looking to sell Mixon or AK in the off-season? What about Najee? Got 1.11 and 2.02 and considering trading back to get more dart throws in this rookie class, or trade for 26/7 picks. At this point just looking to take best rb available

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

If you can get a 1st for any of them, then sure I’d sell. Not sure I’d take just a second though if you’re competing.

[@Jmaydan23]

What would you put on top of Hubbard to get Kyren? Someone offered me Kyren and a 2026 3rd for Chuba and a 2026 1st but felt that was a bit steep.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Yeah I don’t think it’s a first difference, but probably won’t be done for a 2nd

[@Jmaydan23]

@ wonder if I can convince the guy to do Chuba and a 2nd for Kyren (maybe toss in a 4th)

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Don’t even ask for anything with Kyren if it’s a 2nd

[@Jmaydan23]

@@DynastyLeagueFootball glad we agree. Worth a shot!

[@TheHerminator707]

I have Bijan and Bucky as my main RBs. I’m currently offering Pacheco and Pickens for Achane. Too much?

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Probably too much, yes

[@rosswigley9320]

Would you trade away Walker for Swift and a 26 1st (likely early to mid)? Other RBs are Bijan, Stevenson & Warren.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Umm probably not… it’s really just Swift holding me back

[@rosswigley9320]

@ 👍🏻

[@SethC-s7k]

What kind of return would you want for Tracy and Jones?

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

A 2nd each

[@1slowscat]

Would love to see the rookies integrated even without landing spot maybe with projected

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Projected landing spot is impossible right now. We don’t even know if everyone’s declaring.

[@nickgliatas8177]

Week 7 this season you recommended I accept an offer of Irving and Downs for Barkley. Still love the trade. I ended up losing in playoffs…I blame Devante dropping 42 on me. Should I be regretting that deal now? Irving possibly being ranked above Barkley is making me rethink it.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

I wouldn’t be regretting it! It really hinges on what Downs becomes, but he’s so up and down with ARich that it’s hard to project him to be a weekly starter. That said, I don’t think it would be impossible to flip Saquon into a couple pieces now in the off-season. Or use him to move to Gibbs or Bijan or someone.

[@nickgliatas8177]

I agree about Downs. The thought did cross my mind to move Saquon in the offseason. Would love Gibbs or Bijan. I have a ton of QBs for ammo as well in SF league (Burrow, Daniels, Love, Maye, Darnold)

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

It’s worth a shot! Use Darnold and upgrade!

[@joelaviles2943]

In a 12 team SF, PPR, TEP, start 10, 6 pptd, .25 for passing, rushing and receiving 1st downs Guy it’s interested in my Purdy and Aiyuk He’s offering A. Rich, Reed + He has 1.04, 1.06, 1.08, 2.04, 2.09, 2.11 What the + should be (if any) or just hold on to the 49ers stack? He also has Bucky that I like (i was thinking offering Purdy, Aiyuk + Monty for A. Rich, Reed + Bucky Any thoughts on those options? Thanks

Honestly, I want Bucky added without giving up Monty. Or I’d need the 1.04 instead.

I probably wouldn’t look to do it now. I usually buy RBs in the summer

[@P2thaR]

If Chase Brown ends up not getting real competition this off-season, would you put him right with Irving at #7/8, or just solidly in tier 4 but still at #11?

He would climb over Cook and Walker for sure… maybe over JT, but yeah he’d be in the Bucky-ish range

I would take MHJ over Tet, so I’d do that

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

​@@thekingofsports9265I would def hit that trade.

[@hudsonseneca4410]

the only thing with selling saquon is that if he doesn’t get hurt then he’s a top3 rb for the next 3 years easily

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Predicting 3 injury-free seasons would be crazy work though

[@hudsonseneca4410]

@ even if he does get injured he’s still under contract and has shown when healthy he’s elite unless he has a freak injury like another acl or something like that

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Well he’s only under contract for two more years and again, assuming he never gets hurt like he did in 2020 and 2021 is a hard bet to make. And at his age, that’s detrimental to his value.

[@hudsonseneca4410]

@@DynastyLeagueFootball so your telling me definitely sell him😭

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

​@@hudsonseneca4410 if your team is fantastic (you finished 4th or higher), you should probably hold and ride him until the wheels fall off. If your team did not finish 3rd or 4th, it's not a good team and Saquon will never have a higher value than he does now. I would recommend selling him right now before draft picks go up in price.

[@Theodoredarling]

Yeah bro Chuba Hubbard is too low. Clear bell cow for 2025 with a multi year contract at only age 25 in an offense on the rise with Dave Canales as the head coach. I’d put him at 13. Also Jacobs and Barkley deserve to be a tier higher than they are

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Looking back on it, I do agree I think I have Chuba too low. If I’m willing to put Brown in 4b, what’s the difference between him and Chuba?

[@P2thaR]

I was thinking Jacobs was too low as well, but who are you putting him over? Tier 5 doesn't sound right for how productive he was, it's just tough to make a case for raising him in the rankings.

Because he is good. And yes he is better than Zach charbonnet

@ charb has the same draft cap and seems to be much better for that offense.

Wait, Kyren Williams or Kenneth Walker? If you mean Kenneth Walker you should put a 3 after his name to distinguish one from the other. KW is Kyren Williams.

It’s still too soon from last night… I lash out haha

I'm a ND fan so I may be wrong here as I haven't seen every Penn St game, but was that an unusually bad game for Allar? He just seemed slightly off most of the night, missing throws I expected him to make.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

It was his worst game of the season for sure, either last night or the Ohio State game, but I think last night was worse because he had two more called back INTs too. He should’ve been so much better.

[@wackman123]

I think Breece has a good chance of getting traded this offseason. Buy Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen cheap now on the chance that he does. And if he doesn’t you have a talented handcuff to an injury prone back

[@chrisneeley4638]

Most undervalued rb Jerome Ford and waiting for conner to get injured and watch the Trey Benson show

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

I’m here for it

[@mmurph2686]

I generally like your advice on fantasy football, but I thought some of your explanations here fell flat. In no world does Barkley land behind any of the three ahead of him, regardless of age. The guy just showed the world that he is the best and I can’t see him slowing down in one offseason. I also can’t place Bucky ahead of the other studs in his tier. He had a great season, but it is just one season. The other players have done it repeatedly. I’m also over the Breece Hall hype. He’s an awesome talent in a terrible team, which should count for something.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Same could’ve been said about ranking CMC top-3 after his 2023 season, and now look at him. The other two I understand, but that’s how I rank them.

[@user-0781]

Man what the hell happened to Etienne this year. I drafted him 1 spot over JT 2 years ago in a startup because I like his analytics better (before I found this channel). But this year he disappeared. For my teams sake, and as an owner of Bigsby and Etienne, I hope he can regain his steam, ideally on another team.

Tbf, Etienne’s been better than JT both those years you had him, so well done there! But yeah, I honestly don’t know. I’m hoping it’s injuries he played through and the offense being subpar still… I am hoping for a new team though

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

Analytics wise, what metric are you using that would have Travis over Jonathan?

[@MacMcroyal]

Gibbs not overly elite while Monty was there? Alright well let look at Saquon. Saquon had a career year. He almost broke the rushing record. Saquon put up 3 single digit weeks throughout the fantasy season. Gibbs and Bijan put up double digit points every single week. Gibbs had more TDs than any other player in the league. He ended as rb1. Here are his final stats: Rushing Yards: 1412 Yards per carry: 5.65 Rushing TD: 16 Receiving yards: 517 Receiving TD: 4 Total yards: 1929 Total TDs: 20 Most of this was done while Monty was playing. If that’s not super elite then I don’t know what is. Keep in mind, Gibbs is still only 22. I like Bijan but I could see how some people would put Gibbs in front of him

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Saquon also had 5 30+ point PPR weeks, including one 46 point game. Gibbs had two 30+ point games and one was in Week 18 when no one plays. You also used Gibbs entire season stat line to combat my take that he wasn’t overly elite with Monty, so you intentionally left in the four games he played without him. His 17-game pace with Monty would’ve been 1700 total yards and 16 TDs, which is fantastic, but again not overly elite like Bijan all year or Saquon’s career year. Oh, and he’s also easily my RB2 still lol.

[@ILoveJamesFelt]

^ this. Use the splits of with Monty v not with Monty, separate his with Monty, decide it by the games he played with him, and multiply that by 17. Then compare it to Bijan. Bijan split a backfield all season and still put up gaudy numbers. Gibbs is fantastic, and will likely last longer, but Bijan will be a better asset so long as the two of them play.

Jaylen Warren should be much higher

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Why?

[@ItsChukaBaby]

@ cause Harris will be a FA. I don’t see them going in the draft for their starting RB. I think Warren has earned his role as their RB1 if harris goes to another team. If that happens, Warren is a league winner.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Warren is also a FA though and they did go into the draft needing a starting RB when they drafted Najee.

[@ItsChukaBaby]

@@DynastyLeagueFootball I just see Warren being a cheaper option. I think Warren can hold it down for a season if not 2. I’m not a Steelers fan, but it just feels like they want Warren to have the opportunity after all of these years.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

I do agree Warren should be cheaper than Najee in free agency, but I don’t think it’s a big difference. I think if the two, they’d prefer Najee back and if they let Najee walk, they’ll sign someone

[@Justin-y2y]

You can make an argument for Gibbs or Bijan over Saquon but the other 3 is crazy. He was basically healthy all year and had the most yards before contact in the league. As long as he’s behind that eagles line he is a keep. Depending on the jets to do something right over a proven asset is crazy. I have Breece, Saquon, and Bucky in my keeper league which is round base on keepers. At this point I would probably keep tee Higgins for a 5th depending on where he goes

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

Keeper does not equal dynasty, and I’d agree that Saquon would be a top-3 RB in keeper leagues and you probably should keep him.

[@amitpalbains9361]

[@stephencanter8947]

Breece hall is the most overrvalued and overhyped RB in dynasty. He's never had a truly elite season, never rushed for 1k yards. Plays for a bad franchise. He feels like the new deandre swift/javonte williams/cam Akers/JK dobbins. Looks the part and has the draft capital and opportunity but just hasn't produced enough. I would sell Hall because if he has another disappointing season his value will plummet. Apparently some still overvalue him and think he will still breakout.

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

You realize he was the RB6 in PPG last year?

[@stephencanter8947]

Gibbs has been better than Bijan two years in a row and will be for a third and fourth and fifth and sixth

[@DynastyLeagueFootball]

They were basically identical this year through Week 17, and that includes a few games of Gibbs by himself with no Monty. Bijan was better than Gibbs when Monty was healthy.

[@BoredAndSarcastic]

KW is way too high and Chase Brown is a hard sell for me. KW has missed multiple games each season and his production has dropped each year. He is inefficient, hot or cold, depending on if he hits a big play. I think the Bengals are likely to draft another rb or sign a cheap vet and Brown will continue to be in a split backfield. He just hit what I believe will ne his best stretch of production so cash in while people view him as the RB 11 and get one of the rookies or someone like Jacobs who has several years left in a good offense
