As of April 2025, running back rankings for best ball drafts highlight the top-tier RBs, with Saquon Barkley leading the pack after a record-breaking season. With 2,005 rushing yards and a two-year extension with the Eagles, he's the first back off the board. Bijan Robinson follows closely, showcasing versatility and finishing strong in 2024. Jahmyr Gibbs, despite being in a rotation, shone brightly, proving he's a top RB option.

The second tier features De'Von Achane, who capitalized on increased snaps and touches, alongside veterans like Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry, both still commanding significant fantasy attention. Meanwhile, Bucky Irving's rookie success positions him as a promising draft target.

Josh Jacobs emerges in tier three, rebounding with a solid performance in Green Bay, while Ashton Jeanty and Jonathan Taylor show potential. Keep an eye on these players as the draft approaches.
