Dynasty fantasy football continues to rise in popularity, with players searching for undervalued talent to dominate their leagues. Notable undervalued players across the NFC are highlighted, including the Dallas Cowboys' Rico Dowdle, who showed promise last season, and the New York Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr., who surprisingly finished strong despite a poor offensive setup. The Philadelphia Eagles' DeVonta Smith is suggested as a sleeper among the star-studded roster, while the Washington Commanders' Zach Ertz is poised for a comeback. In the NFC North, the Chicago Bears' Cole Kmet is expected to rebound, and Detroit's David Montgomery is touted as a solid pick. The NFC South has rookies like Michael Penix Jr. gaining attention and the NFC West features exciting prospects like Zach Charbonnet.

As running back rankings for the 2025 fantasy football season take shape, several players are positioned to surprise. Leading the charge is Travis Etienne Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who, despite an injury-plagued season in 2024, remains a focal point in a revamped offense under head coach Liam Coen. Coen's successful schemes from his tenure with the Buccaneers promise to elevate Etienne's value, particularly in PPR formats where his pass-catching ability shines.

Another name to watch is rookie RJ Harvey, who showcases elite elusiveness and acceleration despite poor offensive line play in college. If he lands on a favorable NFL team post-draft, his potential could soar, making him a sleeper pick. Lastly, Tyrone Tracy Jr., now with the New York Giants, displayed explosive talent in his rookie season and could thrive if given more opportunities in a more stable offensive setup.

The New York Giants' offensive woes remain a significant concern as they continue to struggle in the NFL. Following their last Super Bowl run in 2011, the team has consistently ranked near the bottom in offensive production, finishing with the 31st-ranked offense four times in the last five seasons. This season, the Giants managed a dismal 3-14 record, largely due to their ineffective passing game.

While the running game benefited from Saquon Barkley’s previous performances, the passing attack has faltered under the weight of inconsistent quarterback play, exacerbated by the release of Daniel Jones. The recent drafting of Malik Nabers, who showed promise with over 1,200 receiving yards, reflects the team's effort to rebuild. However, with no clear quarterback under contract for the upcoming season, the Giants face a crucial offseason, needing to secure a veteran QB and enhance their offensive line to support their emerging talents.

As the 2025 NFL rookie class garners attention, the fantasy landscape is reshaping around last year's promising talents. This year’s redraft of the 2024 rookie class reveals an impressive group, with wide receivers dominating the top picks. Malik Nabers, despite New York Giants’ quarterback issues, finished as WR7, showcasing his potential with seven touchdowns. Brian Thomas Jr. emerged as the top rookie receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars, finishing as WR4, while Brock Bowers took TE1 honors with the Raiders.

Marvin Harrison Jr. still holds value despite a disappointing rookie campaign with the Cardinals, finishing as WR29, while Ladd McConkey and Xavier Worthy displayed remarkable prowess in their respective offenses. Notably, Jayden Daniels clinched the Offensive Rookie of the Year title as QB5, indicating a bright future ahead. The 2024 class offers a mix of underperformers and breakout stars, setting the stage for exciting narratives in fantasy football.

Brian Daboll is bringing in Ladell Betts, the former Iowa running backs coach, as the new running backs coach for the New York Giants. Betts, who has prior experience as an NFL running back, was part of the Iowa staff during Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s final season with the Hawkeyes. His hiring comes amidst a tumultuous period for the Giants, as Daboll seeks to stabilize a coaching staff that has seen multiple changes in recent years.

Betts will be the fifth running backs coach in five years, a reflection of the instability at that position. His appointment occurs right before the NFL Combine, where general manager Joe Schoen is expected to address the media regarding the Giants' strategy for the upcoming draft, including the No. 3 overall pick.
