Last year worked out great for the free agent running backs in Fantasy and reality. Saquon Barkley became the ninth member of the 2,000-yard club and helped the Eagles win a Super Bowl. Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs were top six PPR running backs and helped their teams make the NFL playoffs. Joe Mixon, Aaron Jones, and J.K. Dobbins also reached the postseason and were solid for Fantasy managers.

Now, we get to see what the 2025 free agent class can do. It’s not as exciting as last year’s, but we do have some notable names in Jones, Dobbins, Najee Harris, Nick Chubb, Javonte Williams, Rico Dowdle, and Kareem Hunt.

Ideal Destinations

• Aaron Jones: Best fit could be with the Broncos.
• Najee Harris: Likely target could be the Raiders.
• J.K. Dobbins: Expected to find a fit with the Steelers.
• Rico Dowdle: May land well with the Chargers.
• Nick Chubb: Possible acquisition for the Cowboys.
• Javonte Williams: Potential landing spot with the Browns.
• Kareem Hunt: Could return to the Chiefs.

Free agency opens on March 12, and these veterans will have significant Fantasy implications.
