Dynasty Fantasy Football RB Risers
Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals
Chase Brown’s fantasy football stock will now skyrocket following the 2025 NFL Draft, as the Cincinnati Bengals only selected running back Tahj Brooks in the sixth round, solidifying Brown’s role as the primary back. From Week 9 onward in 2024, Brown averaged 21.7 points per game in PPR formats, ranking as the RB5 in points per game (18.4) and first in expected points per game (22.3), showcasing his elite production when given the lead role.
His 90+ yards from scrimmage in eight consecutive games and PFF’s 14th-highest-graded RB status highlight his ability to handle a bell-cow workload. The lack of significant competition, with only a late-round rookie added, positions Brown as a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside in 2025, likely commanding a second-round pick in fantasy drafts.
Brown’s safety as the Bengals' lead back should boost his value as a potential top-24 overall player.

D'Andre Swift, Chicago Bears
The Bears did not make an appreciable addition to their running back room despite a loaded draft class. While the board may simply not have fallen the way they hoped, it is also possible the team has some level of confidence in Swift and Roschon Johnson. Swift is entering the second season of a three-year deal, and he has had moments of solid play in the past.
Swift is also familiar with new head coach Ben Johnson due to their history in Detroit. Perhaps Johnson envisions a "Sonic and Knuckles" approach with Swift and Johnson this season. With a revamped offensive line and competent coaching, Swift could be excellent this year. Should he perform well, he will certainly be given the chance to play out his contract as a starter.

Dynasty Fantasy Football RB Fallers
Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots
There was perhaps no bigger faller on draft night than Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson has thrived over the last few seasons as New England's starting running back. He even earned a contract extension with the team last year. However, that came from a different regime, and one that was already losing faith in him.
The Patriots added TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of the draft. Henderson is an electric running back with serious pass-catching chops. Among some inefficiencies on the ground, Stevenson has provided a ton of fantasy value through the air. Henderson figures to evaporate that value.

Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers were rumored to be in the market for a running back during the NFL Draft. Warren escaped Day 1 unscathed after Pittsburgh took defensive tackle Derrick Harmon in the first round. However, Warren was not so lucky on Day 2 as Pittsburgh used its third-round pick to select Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson.
Johnson enjoyed a fine career at Iowa and was one of the best backs in the country last year. He fell a bit in the draft due to some athleticism concerns. Make no mistake about it, though, Johnson is a very good back. From a schematic standpoint, Johnson’s game does fit better in a zone rushing scheme. Luckily for him, the Steelers seem like an ideal landing spot.
Despite the selection of Johnson, Warren will still have a role in the offense. However, the hopes that Pittsburgh would finally make him the RB1 have been dashed.
Selling Warren now might prove difficult. However, many dynasty gamers don’t believe in Johnson’s talent. If a Johnson skeptic is in your league, you might be able to exploit this and still get a decent trade return for Warren.
