Top NFL Rookie RBs for 2025

Now that the NFL Draft is firmly in the rearview mirror and my first dynasty league rookie draft is over, I wanted to put together some thoughts on this year's class. It's a total flip from last year's strong group of wide receivers and flawed running backs, so this time I'm starting with the unusually deep class of RBs. This isn't necessarily a ranking for dynasty football but more of an exercise to talk through who I think the top options are and how much they could contribute as rookies.

As often mentioned, the three factors that I take into consideration for this are production profiles, physical traits, and situation. I care most about the first part and have based a lot of what I look for on JJ Zachariason's prospect guides over the years, so I'll be looking at each player's total yards from scrimmage per team play (TY/P), receiving yards per team pass attempt (RY/PA), his share of the team's receptions, and his share of the team's total touchdowns in the games that he played. Athleticism does matter a bit more at this position than at WR, though, so players' Speed Score (based on 40 yard dash and weight) and jumps are important. Stats cited are coming from Sports Reference while measurements are from the NFL combine (ideally) or pro day results as listed in Dane Brugler's The Beast on The Athletic.

1. Ashton Jeanty - 1st round, 6th overall, 1st RB drafted - Raiders

This is an easy start after Jeanty finished just shy of breaking Barry's Sanders' NCAA record for rushing yards in a season and then got top-10 draft capital to a RB-needy team. Even before Jeanty ran for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns as a junior, he was a great prospect based on a sophomore year that saw him have 2.42 total yards per play, 1.85 receiving yards per attempt, a 23.76% reception share, and 41.30% TD share. Anything approaching 2, 0.70, 12%, and 35% as a best season mark in those categories is great, and he shattered each of those as a 19 year old.

Jeanty wasn't asked to do as much through the air last year due to the heavy workload on the ground, but he still had a respectable 8.81% reception share while bumping his TY/P and TD% to 2.82 and 45.45%, respectively. He did measure only 5'8.5" and didn't work out at all in the pre-draft process (because he didn't need to), but he is a solid 211 lbs and obviously showed he can be a workhorse with 397 total touches last year.

RBs getting drafted this highly are practically guaranteed to see large workloads anyway, but both Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah are no longer with the Raiders after leading the backfield in touches. Raheem Mostert was signed as a veteran option, but at 33 years old, the speedster will likely only be a change of pace option and not much of a threat to receiving work. Jeanty could be a top-5 fantasy RB immediately and is the 1.01 in rookie drafts.

2. Omarion Hampton - 1st round, 22nd overall, 2nd RB drafted - Chargers

In a lot of classes, Hampton would be the RB1 and was the only other 1st rounder at the position thanks to a very complete profile after 1,500+ rushing yards, 15 TDs, and 29+ catches as both a sophomore and junior. He averaged a strong 1.82 TY/P and decent 0.49 RY/PA with solid 9.93% and 29.63% market shares in the first of those years before improving across the board to elite marks of 2.40, 0.99, 17.35%, and 39.53%.

Hampton did this at 5'11.75" and 221 lbs, and even with that size he ran a 4.46 40 yard dash for a great Speed Score of 111.71. He also had a 38" vertical and 10'10" broad jump to further show his explosiveness, so he certainly looks the part of a bell cow 'back. How soon until he gets that role is to be determined because the Chargers are an interesting landing spot. Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman typically like to lean on the running game often, and they've chosen to leave last year's leading rushers, JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards, unsigned.

Najee Harris was added instead, but it's only a one-year deal with $5.25 million guaranteed before another possible $4M in incentives, per OverTheCap.com. While both Harris and Hampton are big, well-rounded RBs, the veteran doesn't offer much big-play ability as he infamously doesn't have a run of 40+ yards in his career. Even if it's not top-10 draft capital like Jeanty, 1st round RBs are usually featured, so Hampton could easily be the leader of this committee by season's end ahead of Harris hitting free agency again. I'm also a fan Raheim Sanders, whom they added as a surprising undrafted free agent, and perhaps he could work his way into becoming Hampton's backup a year from now. 

3. TreVeyon Henderson - 2nd round, 38th overall, 4th RB drafted - Patriots

I thought that Henderson had a chance of sneaking into the end of night one and was surprised that he wasn't drafted as the third 'back off the board. He burst onto the scene as a true freshman to run for 1,248 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns and catch 27 passes for 312 yards and 4 more scores, and he did this on an Ohio State team with Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr, and Emeka Egbuka as competition for looks. With all of that context, Henderson's 1.71 TY/P, 0.63 RY/PA, 7.74% reception share, and 27.14% TD share made for an impressive debut.

Unfortunately, he was banged up a bit over the next couple of years before splitting work as a senior with the next runner on this list, which kept him fresh to play in all 16 games of the Buckeyes' national championship campaign. Henderson finished his career with strong best-season marks of 1.85, 0.75, 9.64%, and 31.43%, and that efficiency as a receiver indicates that his reception share might undersell what he can do in the passing game, where he's also an impressive blocker. A 4.43 40 time at 5'10.125" and 202 lbs was good for a 104.90 Speed Score to go with awesome jumps of 38.5" and 10'8", and that makes sense with all of the big plays that he had in college.

It seemed like going one pick later to Chicago was in the cards to be Ben Johnson's new Jahmyr Gibbs, but New England somewhat surprisingly left Luther Burden for them instead. I didn't think RB was necessarily a need for them, but clearly this new regime is not attached to holdovers Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. With Josh McDaniel back as offensive coordinator again, there should be plenty of targets to go around since he always likes to heavily rely on the backfield through the air. And as shown these last few years in college, it's probably for the best to preserve Henderson by splitting carries while making an impact in both phases of the game thanks to his dynamic playmaking that outpaces the veterans.

4. Quinshon Judkins - 2nd round, 35th overall, 3rd RB drafted - Browns

I guess it does make some sense that Cleveland took Judkins over his teammate because they are looking to replace Nick Chubb, and they got a similar power back who doesn't add a ton through the air. Judkins made an instant impact as a true freshman at Ole Miss with 1,567 rushing yards and 16 TDs, which resulted in 1.70 TY/P, 0.34 RY/PA, 6.28% of the team's catches, and 30.91% of the scores. As a sophomore, the reception share went up a touch to 8.59% with 0.38 RY/PA while the TD share stayed the same 30.91%, but his rushing efficiency tailed off to finish with just 1.41 TY/P. Then the split backfield after transferring to Ohio State kept his rates in check, so those early numbers are what I'm mostly looking at.

That profile is pretty lacking for receiving upside, but as mentioned, Judkins fits the bill as a power back. He came in at 5'11.625", 221 lbs and then put up a 38.5" vertical, 11'0" broad jump, and a 4.48 to produce a really strong 109.73 Speed Score. He actually bests Henderson in terms of raw athleticism, and like in college, this physical presence should give Judkins the first crack at short yardage situations.

Jerome Ford is still around in the last year of his rookie contract to likely handle passing downs, and the team double dipped by taking Dylan Sampson in the 4th round as a smaller, change of pace option. This means that Judkins probably won't be a workhorse in Year 1, but he should be the leading rusher on a team that likely wants to rely on the ground game due to a chaotic quarterback room.

5. Kaleb Johnson - 3rd round, 83rd overall, 6th RB drafted - Steelers

I thought that Johnson should've gone much sooner, but falling to Pittsburgh really ended up with the perfect landing spot for him (and not just because he gets to keep the same color scheme as Iowa). I think the limitations of his college's offense led to him being undervalued because him running for a team-leading 779 yards and 6 TDs as a true freshman actually accounted for 31.58% of the team's meager 19 scores. Then he missed some time as a sophomore before breaking out in a big way as a junior with 1,537 yards and 21 TDs on the ground along with 22 catches for 188 yards and 2 more TDs. Due to the limited passing game, that all resulted in 2.45 TY/P, 0.78 RY/PA, a 14.77% reception share, and a 60.53% TD share for a very complete profile.

There was a sense of disappointment that Johnson only ran a 4.57 at the combine with no jumps, but at 6'1" and 224 lbs, that's more than adequate for a 102.71 Speed Score. Recent Steelers stars Le'Veon Bell (6'1", 230 lbs, 4.60, 102.74) and James Conner (6'1", 233 lbs, 4.65, 99.67) were actually the top two comps in Zachariason's prospect guide even before the draft, so it really makes sense that Johnson is in line to be the next workhorse that Mike Tomlin likes to lean on.

They let Harris leave in free agency and only brought in 3rd down 'back Kenneth Gainwell on a deal worth under $1.8 million. Jaylen Warren was retained on just his one year, restricted free agent tender, so Johnson could be eased in a bit to start. Neither veteran is built to or shown the ability to be the leader of a committee, though, so the rookie should get the majority of the work, especially late, as he's a great fit for their outside zone scheme.

6. RJ Harvey - 2nd round, 60th overall, 5th RB drafted - Broncos

I liked Harvey early on in the process, so seeing Denver reach for him so early was a pleasant surprise. He was a late bloomer after redshirting as a backup quarterback, which is crazy to think about at his size, at Virginia in 2019. After transferring to UCF and transitioning to RB in the truncated 2020 season, he missed the entire 2021 campaign with a torn ACL, so his career really started as a 21 year old redshirt junior in 2022. Harvey became the starter in 2023 to put up 1,416 rushing yards, 16 TDs, and 19 catches for 238 yards and another score, which resulted in averaging 1.85 TY/P and 0.65 RY/PA with an 8.3% reception share and 32.69% TD%. Staying for an extra year allowed him to improve on those pretty good numbers to the tune of 1,577 rushing yards, 20 catches, 267 receiving yards, and 25 total TDs for strong marks across the board of 2.23, 0.86, 11.05%, and 53.19%.

The tradeoff to staying in college for six years and having such eye-popping numbers is that he was already 24 years old on draft day, and it's a little less impressive to need so long to breakout (albeit with good reasons for it). That's why I lean towards putting him at the bottom of this tier of Day 2 picks, but he is a fun player with a lot of athleticism. He measured only 5'8" and 205 lbs (again, he was a QB?!) but ran a 4.40 40 for a 109.39 Speed Score, and he added jumps of 38" and 10'7".

Apparently Denver was considering trading back in the 1st round to take Henderson had top corner Jahdae Barron not been there, so that could explain why Harvey ended up a bit higher than expected as a similar option to provide dynamic playmaking. After letting Javonte Williams go in free agency, they had a huge opening to plug in someone ahead of committee 'backs Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. Sean Payton always loves to feature his RBs as targets, and since we all know how much Bo Nix checks it down, Harvey is set up well to make a nice fantasy impact.

7. Bhayshul Tuten - 4th round, 104th overall, 7th RB drafted - Jaguars

Although Tuten technically falling to Day 3 was a bummer, he basically got top-100 draft capital if not for so many comp picks and this being such a deep class of runners. After dominating at North Carolina A&T, he transferred to Virginia Tech as a junior and led the way in a limited offense. That resulted in only 1.29 TY/P but with strong RY/PA and market shares of 0.67, 13.17%, and 27.91%. More big runs as a senior improved his TY/P to 1.74 and TD share to 44.74% while maintaining a 13.22% reception share to give him a really well-rounded profile.

That home run ability was on display at the combine as Tuten put on a show at 5'9.25", 206 lbs. Not only did he blaze a 4.32 in the 40 for an outstanding 118.29 Speed Score, but he also had a 40.5" vertical and 10'10" broad jump. Those results ranked 1st, 1st, 1st, and tied for 2nd in this year's class of RBs.

Although I was hoping Tuten would go much earlier, I'm fascinated to see how Jacksonville deploys their offense under new head coach Liam Coen, who showed last year as the Bucs' OC that he's willing to play all three of his top RBs at times. He eventually leaned on an electric rookie down the stretch, though, and there's a fair chance that "this year's Bucky Irving" is a fellow 4th rounder under the same playcaller. The Jags' new regime doesn't seemed too attached to Travis Etienne, whose fifth-year option was picked up before they took over, and while Tank Bigsby is a tough runner, he only has eight career catches through two years. Tuten could become the top option sooner rather than later.

8. Cam Skattebo - 4th round, 105th overall, 8th RB drafted - Giants

It seems like this year's strong pool of options led to teams being more patient at the position before they flew off the board on Day 3, with Skattebo going right after Tuten as the third pick in the 4th round. After transferring from Sacramento State to Arizona State for essentially his redshirt junior season, Skattebo immediately became the starter on a bad 3-9 team, which contributed to just 1.31 TY/P, but his 0.65 RY/PA, 9.88% reception share, and 40% TD share looked good. Then this past year everything came together for ASU to make a run to the College Football Playoff behind his 1,711 rushing yards, 45 catches, 605 receiving yards, and 24 total TDs. 2.53, 1.69, 20.64%, and 45.28% in those same categories are stellar numbers for the 23 year old.

After that awesome of a season, the only concern for Skattebo is athleticism, and at 5'9.5" and 219 lbs he did well for himself at the combine with a 39.5" vertical and 10'3" broad jump. He didn't run a 40 until his pro day, though, and scouts reportedly only had him at an unofficial 4.65, which even if accurate translates to just a 93.68 speed score. Per Zachariason, Skattebo had the second-worst career explosive run rate out of the combine invites, so the long-speed concern appears valid.

That might limit Skattebo's ceiling, but his combination of power and receiving ability still makes him intriguing. Landing in New York where Tyrone Tracy just had a nice rookie season might limit that passing down work, but they could compliment each other well as a thunder and lightning duo that doesn't tip whether it's a run or pass based on personnel. And after Tracy had some fumbling issues, there's a chance that Skattebo could become the 1A option.

9. Jarquez Hunter - 4th round, 117th overall, 11th RB drafted - Rams (traded up)

This one was interesting because Hunter looked like a nice sleeper whom LA apparently coveted enough to make a move for a bit earlier than expected, despite just adding Blake Corum even higher last year behind star starter Kyren Williams. In an increasingly rarer case nowadays, Hunter played all four years at Auburn and had an underrated early breakout as a sophomore. Even while only seeing 104 carries and 17 catches (which actually was 10.69% of the team's receptions), he had 668 rushing yards (6.42 average) and 224 receiving yards (0.73 RY/PA) and 9 total scores (26.47% TD share). Those rates fluctuated a little over the past two years, but he increased his TY/P to 1.75 as a senior with his rushing totals increasing each year to 1,201.

Like his college career, Hunter had a steady combine performance with a 4.44 40 at 5'9.375" and 204 lbs for a good Speed Score of 104.99. His 33.5" and 10'0" jumps are acceptable, and he threw up 21 reps of 225 lbs on the bench press to boot, the 2nd-best at the position. Add it all up, and there aren't really any weakness to the 22 year old's profile.

Hunter will have to navigate those other two 'backs that I mentioned, but it's worth noting that Williams is going into the last year of his rookie contract and had five fumbles last season. Corum may have better draft capital behind him but hardly impressed as a rookie with sparse playing time. This ranking might be more appropriate for dynasty than a list for 2025 like this, but even if Hunter just ends up as the handcuff to Williams, I want to make the point that he has the talent to step up if called upon.

10. Woody Marks - 4th round, 116th overall, 10th RB drafted - Texans (traded up)

Maybe the reason that the Rams felt the need to trade up was because Houston did so first to suddenly make it four RBs off the board in the first 14 picks of the round. Marks is on the older side (24) after using the COVID bonus year of eligibility to transfer to USC and showcase himself more as a runner after putting up big reception totals (an average of 53.5) in Mississippi State's air raid system. He had a 0.71 RY/PA as a sophomore to go along with two seasons of having a reception share over 16% there. Then in his 11 healthy games last year, he maintained 16.43% and 0.72 marks while breaking out for 1.89 TY/P. Only 9 TDs still means that his best share in that category is 23.08%, but it was key to see him run for over 1,100 yards after his previous best was 582.

There is a chance that teams just view Marks as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, but he has a solid build at 5'10.125", 207 lbs. His 4.54 40 time was underwhelming (97.45 Speed Score), but his 35" vertical and 9'11" broad jump were decent enough.

I'm a sucker for receiving upside, and even if Marks is limited to that role to start, the opportunity should be there behind Joe Mixon as he turns 29 this summer. The veteran isn't a bad receiver by any means, but this could be a natural way to ease the workload after feeding him 20+ carries in 8 of 16 games. And if Mixon happens to miss time again, perhaps the team moving up the board to get Marks indicates that he'd have the leg up to be the starter over Dameon Pierce, who hasn't been trusted much the past two years.

11. Jaydon Blue - 5th round, 149th overall, 14th RB drafted - Cowboys

Speaking of receiving upside, that's likely what you could expect with Blue from the jump. He didn't do much work on the ground with just 214 career carries, but he is electric in the open field. After playing behind Bijan Robinson and then Jonathon Brooks, Blue led Texas in total touchdowns as a junior with 14 despite being second in carries and rushing yards. They scored so much that it only resulted in a 23.73% TD share to go with just 1.04 TY/P, but it gives you an idea of how much of a playmaker he is when involved, as shown by his 0.72 RY/PA and 12.65% reception share.

Blue only came in at 5'9" and 196 lbs at the combine, but his blazing 4.38 40 yard dash was still able to give him a 106.51 Speed Score. Although the 29.5" vertical was surprisingly bad, his 10'3" broad jump was fine. Altogether he is the type of back that needs to be put into open space rather than break tackles to get there, and if you do that, there's no catching him.

Dallas was one of the more desired landing spots for a rookie because Rico Dowdle left in free agency, and they only signed Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in the offseason. Neither vet appears to have much juice left, so Blue could provide a much different jolt to the offense, even if limited to mostly passing down work.

12. Devin Neal - 6th round, 184th overall, 17th RB drafted - Saints

This may be a stretch based on how late Neal was picked, but I'm a big fan of his game. Not only did he stay at Kansas for all four of his years, but he led them in yards from scrimmage every season. From the start as a young 18 year old, he had 32.14% of their TDs, and then as a sophomore averaged 1.56 TY/P with a 8.68% reception share. It all came together as a junior for 1.85 TY/P, 0.70 RY/PA, 12.50% of the catches, and 30.36% of the scores, and then he even took it a step further with 1.98, 0.83, 13.64%, and 38.64% marks as a senior.

Besides draft capital, the main weakness for Neal was his 4.58 in the 40, and those two things were probably related. At 5'11.125" and 213 lbs, though, that transaltes to a 96.82 Speed Score, which is hardly a death sentence. Jumps of 37.5" and 10'4" show the type of burst that he has, so I'm not overly concerned.

New Orleans could end up being a sneakily good landing spot for Neal since Alvin Kamara is about to turn 30 and has already started missing time in recent years. And even if healthy, he's typically been deployed as the leader of a split backfield rather than true workhorse, which could open the door for the rookie. Perhaps 2023 3rd rounder Kendre Miller gets a fresh start with the new coaching staff, but he's yet to make an impact through two years nor shown any aptitude in the passing game.

13. Dylan Sampson - 4th round, 126th overall, 12th RB drafted - Browns

Some of NFL Draft Twitter had a soft spot for Sampson's film, and the fact that he doesn't even turn 21 until this season's already started could bode well for his long-term upside. He wasn't featured until this past year as a junior, but he exploded for 1,491 yards and 22 TDs and caught 20 passes for 173 yards. That equated to 1.74 TY/P and 40% of Tennessee's scores, but with just an 8.47% reception share for 0.46 RY/PA after 0.47 as a sophomore.

You'd like to see more pass-catching ability for someone who is only 5'8.125" and 200 lbs on the dot. Sampson had solid jumps of 35" and 10'4" at the combine, though, and if you trust the reported 4.42 40 time at his pro day, then he has a good Speed Score of 104.80. There is big-play ability here, even if he has to be more of a change of pace option.

Unfortunately for Sampson, he not only fell to Day 3 but to a team who already invested the 35th overall pick on another rookie RB. He'll need to improve as a receiver to better compliment Judkins, and in the meantime, Ford is still on Cleveland's roster as a capable option for that role. Maybe Sampson outperforms the higher draft pick and veteran, but for now he looks like more of a depth option who could step up with an injury.

14. DJ Giddens - 5th round, 151st overall, 15th RB drafted - Colts

I was really hoping that Giddens would go two picks earlier to Dallas instead of Blue because he could be a great value with a pretty complete profile. He really emerged during a redshirt sophomore campaign when he ran for 1,226 yards and 10 TDs while also catching 29 passes for 323 yards and another 3 scores. That was good for 1.62 TY/P and 0.76 RY/P with a 11.24% reception share, albeit with only a 20.97% TD share, and he followed that up with 2.07, 0.73, 10.14%, and 20.00% marks last year.

At the combine, Giddens measured in at 6'0.25", 212 lbs before putting up an outstanding performance across the board. His 39.5" vertical and 10'10" broad jump both ranked 2nd among RBs, and his 4.43 40 at this size resulted in a 110.09 Speed Score that was 4th-best. It also doesn't hurt that he's only turning 22 right before the season starts.

The bad news is that instead of going to the Cowboys' relatively open backfield, Giddens landed with the Colts and will be stuck behind Jonathan Taylor. Khalil Herbert was also signed on a cheap, one year deal, but after he failed to carve out a role in Cincinnati post-trade last season, that might not be much of an obstacle to Giddens becoming the top handcuff. It's worth pointing out that despite only being 26, Taylor has missed 3+ games in each of the last three seasons, and Indianapolis could get out of the last year of his contract pretty easily next offseason.

15. Ollie Gordon - 6th round, 179th overall, 16th RB drafted - Dolphins

After a spectacular sophomore season in which Gordon won the Doak Walker Award, he seemed on track to be selected much higher than this, but both he and Oklahoma State suffered a sharp decline this past year as they went from 10-4 to 3-9. Still, you can't ignore what he did as a 19 year old: 1,732 rushing yards, 39 catches, 330 receiving yards, and 22 total TDs that equated to 2.02 TY/P, 0.58 RY/PA, a 11.34% reception share, and a 46.81% TD share. And even in that tough junior year, he still maintained 10.86% and 35.00% market shares.

At 6'1.375" and 226 lbs, Gordon was the biggest 'back to run a 40 at the combine, and his 4.61 was actually respectable for that size. The resulting 100.08 Speed Score is decent enough, and the same could be said for his 34.5" vertical and 10'0" broad jump. Although he might not always play to that size, he definitely has the physical traits to be a downhill runner that can contribute in the passing game as both a blocker and receiver.

Miami was a bit of a surprising landing spot since Gordon doesn't bring nearly the same speed as guys like De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, or Jaylen Wright that they've targeted in the past. Maybe that's the point, though, so that he can add a different dimension to the offense. Achane is a star, but his size and medical history indicate he shouldn't be overworked. Mostert is gone, and Wright wasn't trusted with much work as a rookie. Gordon could carve out a bigger role than you'd expect from a 6th rounder.

Honorable Mentions:

• Trevor Etienne was taken in the 4th round as the 9th Rb drafted, but he topped out at 1.25 TY/P and 0.54 RY/PA as his best marks across three seasons. He did hit prorated market shares of 13.50% and 28.13% after transferring to Georgia last year, but as a smaller 'back (5'8.75", 198 lbs), his testing numbers were just okay (103.75 Speed Score and jumps of 35" and 10'4"). Going to the Panthers with Chuba Hubbard recently extended and Dowdle newly signed also hurts.
• While Jordan James had nice raw stats (1,267 rushing yards and 15 TDs; 26 catches for 206 yards), they were inflated a bit by how many plays Oregon ran as the #1 team in the country going into the CFP. His 1.54 TY/P was the only notable number out of what I look at, and he didn't impress with a 95.66 Speed Score or jumps of 32" and 9'9". If Christian McCaffrey goes down again, though, he could grind out some yards alongside Isaac Guerendo in a good offfense.
• It was notable that the Chiefs felt the need to move up so late in the draft for Brashard Smith in the 7th. He converted from WR after transferring to SMU last year and was stunningly effective with 1,332 rushing yards, 39 catches, 327 receiving yards, and 18 total TDs, which resulted in 1.70 TY/P, 0.75 RY/PA, a 14.03% reception share, and 31.58% TD share. It's a crowded backfield, but there's a chance he could develop into the Jerick McKinnon role.
• Tahj Brooks was another favorite of the film bros after a nice five years at Texas Tech that saw him have 1.81 TY/P, a 10.21% reception share, and 33.33% TD share at various points. He unfortunately fell to the Bengals in the 6th round and will be, at best, the #2 behind Chase Brown. Zack Moss is expected back, though, and Semaje Perine was also brought back to add to the competition.
• I thought that LeQuint Allen was a fun sleeper after having 1.51 and 1.54 TY/P, 0.66 and 0.87 RY/PA, 19.79% and 16.28% reception shares, and 27.03% and 35.71% TD shares the last two years at Syracuse. Apparently the Jags have similar tastes to me at RB as they scooped him up in the 7th after already adding Tuten.
• Finally, Kyle Monangai went to the Bears in the 7th after they seemingly kept barely missing out on other RB targets in earlier rounds, and he got a good amount of carries at Rutgers. His 1.75 TY/P and 36.84% TD share last year were nice, but he barely offered anything as a receiver. I just wanted to mention him since new head coach Ben Johnson didn't feature D'Andre Swift much when they were together in Detroit, so there could be opportunity for someone to share the load.
