Reranking rookies with projection-first rigor, Ashton Genty sits atop the rookie RB board, bolstered by a plausible 300 carries, around 1,500 rushing yards, and double-digit rushing touchdowns, plus meaningful receiving upside. Trailing close, Hendy blends a high-floor profile with roughly 225 carries, 1,000+ yards, and 10+ TDs, plus solid pass-catching potential. Ollie Gordon shines as a bold late-round breakout, while Bijan Robinson anchors the overall rookie landscape and Ibuka, Hampton, Hunter, and Harvey offer ceiling play for dynasty and redraft alike. Projections sharpen expectations and inform trades as much as lineups.

The discussion weaves through how volume, yards after contact, and forced missed tackles translate to fantasy value, with a clear emphasis on how a more competent offense could unlock a rookie backfield’s upside. It also highlights wide receivers Ibuka and Hunter as high-upside options, while Gordon and Harvey provide contrasting paths to early-season impact, making this rookies rerank a practical guide for weekly decisions and long-term rosters.
