Three late-round RBs headline the 2025 fantasy outlook: Roschon Johnson, DJ Giddens and Woody Marks, each with clear path to meaningful touches in 2025. Johnson lands in Chicago with an upgraded line and an offense that should lean into the run game, giving him early-down and red-zone opportunities as Ben Johnson’s system takes root. Giddens lands in Indianapolis behind Jonathan Taylor, offering a strong pass-catching profile and immediate RB2 potential with major upside if Taylor misses time. Marks, a versatile back for Houston, could emerge as a most valuable third-down/dual-threat option in a backfield set to rebound. The piece underscores the value of late-round darts in a draft: target these roles, monitor each team’s offensive trajectory, and lean on the draft tool for decisions.

The analysis emphasizes workload levers: Johnson’s power-back profile in a better Bears attack, Giddens’ blend of size and receiving ability behind a franchise with cap flexibility, and Marks’ USC/Mississippi State track record translating to today’s multipath NFL usage. It also highlights the draft tool’s guidance as a practical, fearless way to compare rosters and edge out opponents in 2025 drafts.
