As fantasy managers prepare for the 2025 season, several rookie running backs are primed for breakout performances. Ashton Jeanty, taken sixth overall by the Las Vegas Raiders, is positioned for a significant role given the lack of competition behind veteran Raheem Mostert. His impressive college stats indicate he could exceed 300 touches, making him a top draft pick.

Omarion Hampton, selected 22nd by the Los Angeles Chargers, faces stiff competition from established RB Najee Harris. However, Hampton's potential as a pass-catcher and his role in a run-heavy offense could yield over 1,000 scrimmage yards. Additionally, Quinshon Judkins of the Cleveland Browns, who was drafted in the second round, has a clear path to touches after the departure of Nick Chubb, with Jerome Ford as his primary competition. Anticipation surrounds these rookies as they look to make their mark in the upcoming season.
