    July is the perfect time to refresh my dynasty ranks heading into the 2025 season. Let’s go position by position and breakdown the dynasty assets in order.

    Rank Player Team Age Notes
    1 Bijan Robinson ATL 23 Incredible player who gets the nod over Gibbs because he has more volume in his current situation.
    2 Jahmyr Gibbs DET 23 The league’s most explosive runner and backfield playmaker, he’s my redraft 1.02 this year.
    3 Ashton Jeanty LVR 21 Bijan-tier hyped rookie with insane college stats landed in an iffy offense with tons of opportunity. Could become the RB1 soon if he hits the ground running.
    4 Saquon Barkley PHI 28 Most talented second-contract RB in the best situation in the league coming off amazing 2024.
    5 De’Von Achane MIA 23 Amazing volume-driven player in the perfect offense for his skillset, and still just 23. Needs to improve efficiency.
    6 Omarion Hampton LAC 22 Well-regarded rookie who got a great draft capital/landing spot combo. Najee Harris firework incident will likely raise his stock. Another potential immediate arrow up like Jeanty.
    7 Jonathan Taylor IND 26 Has become underrated. Remains the alpha in an offense full of complementary guys. Still not at the age cliff and has two more years on his extension.
    8 Bucky Irving TB 23 Borderline unprecedented rookie breakout in a high-powered offense. Needs to back it up in 25 because of draft capital, but if so, would become a top-five RB.
    9 TreVeyon Henderson NE 22 Electric, fantasy-friendly skillset, but Patriots have checkered recent history of fantasy performance. The bull case would be the next Jahmyr Gibbs.
    10 Breece Hall NYJ 24 Vital year for Hall, who has huge downside risk as an asset if he doesn’t command this Jets backfield in year three. He needs to earn an extension with his play this year.
    11 Josh Jacobs GB 27 I’m bullish on Jacobs as a consistent performer who commands work in a great offense that lacks any other studs.
    12 Kyren Williams LAR 25 Is this guy even good? Sean McVay certainly thinks so, and as long as that’s the case, he’ll hold value. I’d sell high, personally (I’ve literally never drafted him in dynasty or redraft).
    13 Kaleb Johnson PIT 22 I’m in love with Johnson, who stands to inherit one of the most consistently valuable RB1 roles in the league. He’s got an easy path to being a Top 10 dynasty RB asset in 26 and 27.
    14 Chase Brown CIN 25 Bengals did nothing to unseat Brown, but I’m less confident in what his 26 and 27 look like. He’s in a great situation, but is he a great player, or just a great volume beneficiary?
    15 Kenneth Walker SEA 24 Walker is a physical specimen who gets hurt too much, and the Seahawks appear on track to let him walk after 2025. He could be an excellent second-contract guy, but it also could all go up in smoke
    16 Christian McCaffrey SF 29 McCaffrey could be totally done, but if you take that short stance, you’re taking on a ton of risk. A lot of smart people think he’s a worthy top-10 redraft pick this year, so fade carefully.
    17 Derrick Henry BAL 31 The other post-age cliff veteran star RB in this range, Henry is a great buy for a contender, simply because he’ll be scoring tons of TDs until his body quits on him.
    18 James Cook BUF 25 Maybe this is too aggressive of a fade, but the Bills don’t seem inclined to extend Cook after his outlier TD season. This feels like a great time to sell him.
    19 RJ Harvey DEN 24 Very interesting rookie RB, who is sneakily way older than you’d expect. The J.K. Dobbins signing has the potential to significantly curtail Harvey’s peak production window and asset value.
    20 Chuba Hubbard CAR 26 The most underrated dynasty player, full stop, in my opinion. Just signed a four-year extension after an excellent fantasy season, giving him a clear runway for a resurgent Carolina offense into his 30s.
    21 Quinshon Judkins CLE 21 Unclear where the bottom is for Judkins after his harrowing arrest. He’s fallen from RB10 to RB20 on KeepTradeCut, which is appropriate for a promising prospect in legal trouble.
    22 Alvin Kamara NO 30 No end in sight for one of best PPR RBs we’ve ever seen. A perfect affordable win now buy for 2025.
    23 Joe Mixon HOU 29 Great 2024 from a steady veteran producer after a team change. Feels like 2025 is the last year he truly matters for fantasy.
    24 Cam Skattebo NYG 23 For me, Skattebo transcends typical propsect evaluation because he’s simply a gamer. I’m not a Tyrone Tracy guy, and Skattebo does things well (catch passes, score TDs) that score fantasy points
    25 David Montgomery DET 28 I really want to write off Montgomery, a post-age cliff RB coming off of a serious injury. That said, even a diminished version of his TD-heavy role as the 1B to Gibbs is valuable.
    26 Zach Charbonnet SEA 24 The next two years will be fascinating for Charbonnet, as he should take over for Walker in 2026, and could see a more consistent role in 2025. There’s still a good chance he’s never a regular NFL starter.
    27 Trey Benson ARI 23 Last year’s RB class was a mess, but Benson is flying a bit under the radar. James Conner rules, but Benson stands to be pretty productive the second Conner loses a step.
    28 D’Andre Swift CHI 26 Very hard player to value, as his career has already been a seesaw and has more uncertainty in sight. This year with Ben Johnson is his last, best shot at something consistent.
    29 Bhayshul Tuten JAC 22 Awesome athletic profile with a situation that should completely open up in 2026. If he carves out anything as a rookie, he could shoot up here.
    30 James Conner ARI 30 Conner has never been worse than the RB20 with the Cardinals. Until that changes, he’s a great veteran to own.
    31 Isiah Pacheco KC 26 It was a brutal 2024 for the ascendant Pacheco. This could be his final year in KC, and I’m concerned he’ll never secure a lead role again after this.
    32 Travis Etienne JAC 26 The first eight weeks of 2025 could make or break the rest of Etienne’s career. He could still be an intriguing second-contract guy if he shines this year.
    33 Brian Robinson WAS 26 Robinson is solid, but he’s sneaky old and is a free agent after the season. Not the type of RB who gets extended typically, and so he’ll likely need to catch on elsewhere.
    34 Aaron Jones MIN 30 Last year’s RB16, he still has juice and the Vikings’ offense is always good. Underrated win-now asset.
    35 Jordan Mason MIN 26 Broke out in early 2024, and now lands in a good offense. There’s some upside here, and maybe just 230 career carries will extend his age cliff significantly.
    36 Tony Pollard TEN 28 He was an RB2 despite a bad offense in 2024. Hard to say he’s no longer good, but the injuries are always a concern.
    37 Tyjae Spears TEN 24 Spears had a chance to rise last year, but whiffed on it. Expecting that breakout this year seems foolish, but the Titans’ offense should be a bit better. Not sure his ceiling extends beyond “younger Jaylen Warren”
    38 Dylan Sampson CLE 22 Intriguing rookie who got absolutely hosed in terms of landing spot. The door has cracked open with Judkins’ legal trouble, but he’s still a murky value bet at the moment.
    39 Tyrone Tracy NYG 25 Was shockingly the RB26 as a rookie, but a fifth-round pick is a fifth-round pick. Skattebo isn’t an overwhelming competitor, but it feels like a timeshare that doesn’t favor Tracy.
    40 Jaydon Blue DAL 21 Blue could be nothing, but there’s a good chance he leads Dallas RBs in catches as a rookie, and then this backfield will clear out again in 2026. If he shows promise, he could lead a valuable RB room.
    41 Jaylen Warren PIT 26 Warren’s a great pass-catching back when he’s healthy, but we’ve never seen him outside of Pittsburgh, and that seems likely to change after 2025. He should get some key lead back opportunities this year.
    42 Jaylen Wright MIA 22 Wright is still quite young, and he’s an Achane injury away from a huge lead role. He’s intriguing in an offense that consistently does right by it’s fantasy playmakers.
    43 Tank Bigsby JAC 24 Bigsby was the better Jags back in 2024, but he doesn’t catch passes at all, which limits his upside. It seems unlikely he ever earns a lead role, in Jacksonville or elsewhere.
    44 Isaac Guerendo SF 25 Guerendo has some appeal as the defacto McCaffrey fade. He’s older than you’d want for a guy who’s never done much, but he’s a possible upside bet for the next couple of years.
    45 Ray Davis BUF 25 I’d like Davis as a dynasty bet way more if he wasn’t the same age as James Cook. He could be the lead back in Buffalo as soon as this season, but whatever projection window he has seems small.
    46 J.K. Dobbins DEN 26 Dobbins singing in Denver is excellent for his 2025 upside. He’s a year-to-year guy with a long injury history, but he’s also genuinely really good.
    47 Javonte Williams DAL 25 He just hasn’t been the same since his knee injury. He’s been given a shot in a great situation, but the trouble is he just doesn’t have much juice to cash in.
    48 Braelon Allen NYJ 21 Super young, but also super plodding. Jets backfield future is ambiguous, but his path to a lead role isn’t clear. Decent stash candidate for a rebuilding team, considering his age.
    49 Najee Harris LAC 27 Was pretty done as a dynasty asset even before shooting himself in the face with fireworks. If there’s any chance he’s not ready for preseason, his value window is going to evaporate.
    50 Rhamondre Stevenson NE 27 The Patriots still do have Stevenson, which is about the best you can say about his long-term prospects. His days as a fantasy starter are likely numbered if not gone.
    51 Rachaad White TB 26 There’s a chance White has a valuable pass-catching role for the Bucs this year. There’s also a chance this is fully Irving’s backfield. After 2025, White’s future is uncertain.
    52 DJ Giddens IND 22 Giddens is an intriguing prospect who is fully blocked by a bellcow, but could definitely produce if Taylor misses time. Could be a best kept secret for a year or two.
    53 Jarquez Hunter LAR 22 Potentially a path to an extremely valuable RB1 role, but McVay doesn’t like sharing workloads much. Good guy to stash.
    54 Brashard Smith KC 22 The vision with Smith is prime Jerrick McKinnon eventually, which could be super valuable. If all of the incumbents in this backfield underwhelm, Smith’s stock could skyrocket.
    55 Tyler Allgeier ATL 25 A handcuff for the last two years after a brilliant rookie year, it’s not clear whether Allgeier is good enough to lead another team’s backfield in 2026. In 2025, he’s as blocked as it gets.
    56 Devin Neal NO 22
    Declined in the pre-draft process and got irrelevant draft capital. Neal’s upside lies in potentially taking over this backfield whenever Kamara moves on, but it’s not clear whether he’s even a better candidate for that than Kendre Miller.
    57 Jordan James SF 21 James is a longer term freeroll at the Guerendo bull case.
    58 Roschon Johnson CHI 24 Was hopeful Johnson would get a crack at this backfield without Swift in 2025, but instead he gets the status quo goal line back role.
    59 Blake Corum LAR 24 Corum couldn’t unseat Williams in 2024, and now faces additional competition from Hunter. Any bet here is a wishful one.
    60 Rico Dowdle CAR 27 Dowdle did a great job in Dallas last year, and should get decent run behind Hubbard in Carolina. He’s just not much of an asset.
    61 Kyle Monangai CHI 23 Monangai is a depth piece in a backfield without a great RB. Worth a stash.
    62 Tahj Brooks CIN 23 Brooks is worth having in case Brown can’t hold down the lead back role in 2025, and Cincy wants to go committee and move on from him.
    63 Will Shipley PHI 23 Shipley is an ankle injury away from the best RB1 job in the league, but beyond that, he’s a questionable asset.
    64 Ollie Gordon MIA 21 Gordon is a sketchy prospect with some upside, and the Miami offense offers some opportunity. It’s just not clear he matters enough to stay on the roster.
    65 Trevor Etienne CAR 21 Travis’ worse younger brother could be worth stashing, but has a difficult path to a role.
    66 Marshawn Lloyd GB 24 Not sure Lloyd’s rookie year could’ve gone worse. He’s doesn’t seem capable of staying healthy enough to breakthrough.
    67 Sean Tucker TB 23 Tucker has shown flashes of capability, but is buried behind RB1s from the past two seasons.
    68 Jerome Ford CLE 25 Took a pay cut and then they drafted two RBs, but there’s now a decent chance he’s a Week 1 starter again.
    69 Kendre Miller NO 23 Sneaky bet to be the Saints 2026 starter, but that’s his fourth year. Still, he’s so young that he’s interesting speculatively.
    70 Jonathan Brooks CAR 22 I don’t see any asset value here. The knee just doesn’t work. How could you possibly trust him to build back and be a starter, especially with Hubbard entrenched?
    71 Austin Ekeler WAS 30 I think Ekeler has sneaky RB2 upside this year, but he’s also already one of the oldest backs in the league.
    72 Damien Martinez SEA 21 He fell more than I expected him to in the draft, and I see real long-term upside here, especially with Walker potentially leaving after the season. He’s a worthwhile stash.
    73 Nick Chubb HOU 29 Didn’t look the same off of the knee injury, and it’s unclear what the upside is in Houston for him. His days are numbered.
    74 Isaiah Davis NYJ 23 Looked great in stints with Hall down as a rookie. If Hall struggles in 2025, Davis has shown he can take on some workload, but he doesn’t profile as a guy who ever claims a fantasy value role for a long stretch.
    75 Jacory Croskey-Merritt WAS 24 Sneaky upside stash with both Robinson and Ekeler possibly out in 2026. Could be nothing, though.
    76 Audric Estime DEN 22 He’s still so young, but the Dobbins signing absolutely nuked his chance at a major 2025 role. It seems like he’s too slow to be handed a major role.
    77 Miles Sanders DAL 28 He’s my bet to lead the Dallas backfield in fantasy points, but that likely will be a messy committee, and then what? Sanders will be 29 and a free agent again. I’d add him if you’re competing.
    78 Justice Hill BAL 27 Nice Henry handcuff with some pass-catching floor, but next to no asset value.
    79 Woody Marks HOU 24 Interesting pass-catching back who could see the field right away, but is definitely a Duke Johnson type, at best. Older than you’d want a low-draft capital rookie in a crowded backfield to be.
    80 Keaton Mitchell BAL 23 Exciting runner buried behind a bellcow who needs to show he still has the juice post-knee injury.
