Fantasy football 2025: Top 10 RB values

Copied!

With training camps underway around the league, I’m providing my list of the top 10 fantasy values at running back heading into the 2025 NFL season.

NOTE: Average draft position was pulled from 4for4.com’s Underdog ADP Tool, which defaults to best ball; I would expect running back ADP to be a bit lower in redraft leagues.

You’re going to want a piece of the 49ers run game. Christian McCaffrey could still end up one of the best RBs in fantasy, but last season — when McCaffrey missed 12 games due to injury — there were four contests in which Guerendo played more than 50 percent of the snaps. He averaged 17.9 fantasy points in those games and scored 11-plus fantasy points in each. That is a safe floor and high ceiling. There could be some untapped upside, too, as Guerendo led all running backs in the 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, with a time of 4.33 seconds. For years we have seen 49ers backup RBs become strong fantasy options if the starter misses time. And as great as CMC is, he has missed a lot of games due to injuries in his career and is now 29 years old. Guerendo becomes a strong RB2, with RB1 upside, if McCaffrey misses time.
