Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.
At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.
3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.
Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 2.04 | N/A | 21.4 | 235.3 | 701 | 1170 | 2146 | 92 | Jeanty went from a 1,900 total yard sophomore season to a 2,700 total yard junior season. He boasts elite contact balance, burst, and receiving ability. Jeanty’s landing spot in Vegas should support some massive workloads over the next few seasons. | ||
| 2 |  | 1.04 | N/A | 23.3 | 267.8 | 746 | 1185 | 1918 | 92 | Robinson profiled as the best RB prospect since Saquon Barkley. Thickly built and explosive, the Texas product simply never earned a consistent role under HC Arthur Smith. With Smith out of town, Robinson's production exploded to 1,881 total yards and 15 TDs in 2024. He's on track to remain a clear RB1 for the forseeable future. | ||
| 3 |  | 1.05 | N/A | 23.1 | 246.5 | 717 | 1155 | 1925 | 88 | Despite a slow start, Gibbs largely delivered as a rookie RB. He averaged 5.2 YPC and popped in 10 TDs on 182 attempts, adding 52 receptions. His production reached new heights in 2024, and he proved more than capable as a workhorse back following a late-season injury to David Montgomery. Only 23, Gibbs shouldn't slow down any time soon. | ||
| 4 |  | 2.05 | N/A | 28.2 | 287.1 | 636 | 978 | 1613 | 74 | Barkley hit as our 2022 Comeback Pick. 2023 turned up an ugly QB situation and poor efficiency on strong volume. Barkley expressed interest in returning to New York but ultimately joined a superior environment in Philly. From there, he enjoyed a historic 2024 with 2,005 yards and 15 total TDs. Another 1-2 seasons of top-end RB1 production are reasonable. | ||
| 5 |  | 3.08 | N/A | 26.3 | 251.3 | 593 | 921 | 1551 | 66 | Ankle issues and a sluggish Colts offense forced a major drop in production in 2022. Injuries and a contract dispute made headlines in 2023, but when healthy, Taylor flashed his high-end talent. Taylor missed three games in 2024 but remained busy on a per game basis (23 touches per). The former Round 2 pick is under contract for two more seasons. | ||
| 6 |  | 4.04 | N/A | 28.9 | 256.1 | 613 | 882 | 1412 | 64 | CMC was excellent in 2023, finishing as the clear-cut RB1. Then came a nightmare 2024 that included multiple lower-body injuries (and only 50 total carries). He'll be a rebound candidate in 2025 -- but durability concerns figure to remain for the 29-year-old. | ||
| 7 |  | 3.03 | N/A | 23.9 | 208.4 | 565 | 914 | 1616 | 63 | The 36th overall pick, Hall looked to be on his way to an excellent rookie year. Then came an ACL tear in Week 7. Only 22, the Iowa State product returned for Week 1, 2023, proving both durable and effective in a tough situation. A largely ineffective Aaron Rodgers limited Hall this past fall, while the RB also battled through a knee injury. 2025 turns up a contract year. | ||
| 8 |  | 2.10 | N/A | 23.6 | 220 | 570 | 895 | 1472 | 61 | Achane's rushing efficiency hit a snag in year two. But his receiving work went through the roof: 78 catches, 592 yards, and 6 TDs. Another RB1 season is in play for 2025, although we'll see if Miami looks to work in more of second-year RB Jaylen Wright. | ||
| 9 |  | 3.09 | N/A | 24.7 | 221.8 | 499 | 793 | 1378 | 51 | Williams further solidified himself as a top RB in 2024, logging 1,481 scrimmage yards and 16 TDs. L.A. spent a Round 3 pick on Blake Corum, but he was lightly used throughout the season. Williams is currently under contract for one more season. | ||
| 10 |  | 3.06 | N/A | 22.7 | 211.8 | 488 | 771 | 1346 | 49 | Irving performed as one of the most elusive RBs in the 2024 class. From 2022 to 2023, he forced a missed tackle every 2.5 carries – a terrific mark. That elusiveness translated to the pros right away, as he tallied 5.4 yards per carry and 1,513 total yards. He's locked up lead back work for 2025. | ||
| 11 |  | 4.02 | N/A | 22.1 | 164.6 | 502 | 790 | 1343 | 47 | Hampton has carried the North Carolina offense for two years (including when Drake Maye was the QB). The former four-star recruit tallied two straight years of 1,500+ rushing yards and 15 TDs, and he brings solid receiving potential. A shifty runner who can hit the home run, Hampton showed his athleticism by crushing the Combine with a 4.48 40-yard dash and a 38" vertical. He landed in a dreamy long-term spot with HC Jim Harbaugh and the... Show More » | ||
| 12 |  | 5.07 | N/A | 31.3 | 265.5 | 509 | 695 | 1094 | 46 | Even at 31, Henry put together a masterful 2024 (325-1,921-16). He's now hit 325 carries in two of the past three seasons, but the former Titan has shown no signs of slowing down. 2025 is a contract year. | ||
| 13 |  | 5.05 | N/A | 24.5 | 198.7 | 481 | 742 | 1185 | 43 | Injuries limited Walker to a career-low 11 games in 2024. He flashed a high ceiling when healthy but ultimately managed just 3.7 YPC. We'll see how he's utilized under new OC Klint Kubiak. | ||
| 14 |  | 6.10 | N/A | 21.5 | 175.6 | 456 | 720 | 1241 | 41 | Judkins has a chance to become a three-down back for the Browns immediately as a rookie. Though Jerome Ford will still have a role, the early second-round draft capital makes Judkins intriguing. Judkins answered questions about his athleticism with a 4.48 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. | ||
| 15 |  | 3.12 | N/A | 25.6 | 214.7 | 477 | 711 | 1087 | 41 | Cook was a fantasy non-factor for most of his rookie season. When given chances, though, he showcased the burst that made him the RB2 in the 2022 draft. That trait truly surfaced in 2023, especially late as Buffalo fired OC Ken Dorsey and elevated QB coach Joe Brady. Then, at 25, Cook erupted for a massive 18 total TDs in 16 games. The TDs will certainly go down as a career-high. But as long as he sticks with Josh Allen long-term, his lead back... Show More » | ||
| 16 |  | 4.03 | N/A | 27.2 | 223.7 | 500 | 716 | 927 | 40 | The Raiders declined Jacobs’ 5th-year option in 2022, then watched him enjoy his most productive year as a pro. He took a step back in 2023 while playing under the franchise tag, but he was utilized heavily under interim HC Antonio Pierce. He inked a 4-year deal with Green Bay, where his efficiency ticked up and a career-high 16 TDs surfaced in the fall. At 27, another 1-2 years of RB1 production is realistic. | ||
| 17 |  | 4.06 | N/A | 22.5 | 162.2 | 438 | 702 | 1198 | 37 | Henderson was highly recruited and is insanely explosive when given space. He also shows elite receiving ability but doesn't break through contact. Henderson may be more of a third-down receiving back in the NFL. He ran as expected at the Combine with a 4.43 40-yard dash and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. | ||
| 18 |  | 6.05 | N/A | 25.9 | 202.8 | 419 | 652 | 1090 | 35 | Henderson adds a new weapon for the Patriots as both a pass catcher and runner. His style should compliment Rhamondre Stevenson, and he could be a PPR monster with his athleticism. He ran as expected at the Combine with a 4.43 40-yard dash and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. | ||
| 19 |  | 4.09 | N/A | 25.1 | 194.1 | 468 | 668 | 853 | 34 | Well-built at ~5’9, 209 pounds, Brown produced a monster 328-1,643-10 rushing line at Illinois in 2022. He then blew up the NFL Combine with a 4.43 forty, a 40-inch vertical, and a 127-inch broad jump. After a quiet rookie year, Brown showed he belongs as a big piece of Cincy's backfield. We'll see what type of backfield investment the Bengals make this spring. | ||
| 20 |  | 6.11 | N/A | 28.8 | 232.7 | 429 | 628 | 801 | 31 | Mixon quietly assembled the PPR RB6 season in 2023. After a hot start in 2024, his play declined down the stretch. Set to play next year at 29, the former Bengal is very likely on the decline. | ||
