Overview

• Consensus boards place Bijan Robinson as the top 2025 option, with Jahmyr Gibbs locked in as Detroit’s lead after an RB2-per-game breakout last season.
• Christian McCaffrey is treated as a high-upside but health-dependent pick, while Saquon Barkley draws regression warnings after an extreme 2024 workload.
• Handcuff rankings split by outlet, with USA TODAY listing David Montgomery at No. 1, ClutchPoints backing Miami’s Jaylen Wright, and Seattle’s Zach Charbonnet noted for strong spot-start touchdown production.
• PFF elevates Bucky Irving as a viable RB1-outcome candidate based on his late-2024 usage surge under a new play-caller in Tampa Bay.
• Rookie and value targets gain steam, with Ashton Jeanty projected for heavy Raiders volume and USA TODAY touting discounted options such as Kenneth Walker III, Tony Pollard, Kaleb Johnson, Jordan Mason and Javonte Williams.
