Continuing my summer scouting series, we’ll be going through my 2025 running back watch list, aka my top running back rankings. This isn’t an all-encompassing list, so let me know on Twitter/X or Reddit if there are any running backs you’d recommend checking out. If you missed my quarterback rankings, you can check out the article with my top 10 and the video with my top 30 using the links below: Quarterback Article: 2025 Dynasty Quarterback Rankings (Summer Scouting)Quarterback Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNHpIn-5zM&feature=youtu.be A couple of other things I want to point out before we get started, these rankings and profiles aren’t as comprehensive as my 2024 position rankings and are more things that stood out on my re-watch of them.
