The recent NFL draft revealed some promising landing spots for rookie running backs that could significantly impact fantasy leagues this year. Quinn Sean Judkins, chosen by the Cleveland Browns, is expected to excel in a run-heavy scheme under Kevin Stefanski, likely making him a top contender for the number two rookie running back position in fantasy drafts. In Denver, RJ Harvey is set to take advantage of a favorable depth chart, possibly surprising many with his ability to catch passes. Meanwhile, Caleb Johnson's transition to the Pittsburgh Steelers aligns perfectly with their run-first offense, positioning him as a potential top-25 running back come draft day.

Additional rookie standouts include Jack Besh, who could carve out a role in the crowded Raiders' offense, echoing the success of players like Jackson Smith-Njigba in Seattle. The Houston Texans have revamped their wide receiver corps, which bodes well for quarterback C.J. Stroud's performance, especially after a rocky start to his rookie season. This influx of talent at key positions should provide exciting opportunities for fantasy players as they prepare for their drafts.
