The 2025 NFL season is here, and with it comes the trials and tribulations of fantasy football. With the football calendar heating up, our rankings team has compiled its complete rankings to help you make informed decisions.
Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Redraft Fantasy Football RB Rankings
Jaylen Wright, RB, Miami Dolphins
For the entire season, Ollie Gordon II was the clear handcuff to De'Von Achane. For the first time all season, Achane missed significant time in a game. It wasn't Gordon at all.
Jaylen Wright was the clear lead back, and it wasn't close. He outcarried Gordon 24-5 and outgained him on the ground 107-17. All three of the Dolphins' backs rushed for a touchdown.
It's worth noting that, after the game, head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane could've gone back "in an emergency." While that does suggest Achane isn't completely healthy, if he could've played at all, it stands to reason he will probably be okay for Week 15.
Even so, we now know that Wright is the Achane handcuff you want. He also proved that he has fantasy upside in the right game script. As a result, Wright needs to be rostered everywhere going forward.
Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams
For most of the season, Blake Corum was worth rostering as Kyren Williams' handcuff. Now, Corum just needs to be rostered.
This is not your classic Rams offense that has a workhorse. Williams and Corum alternate drives and are essentially in an even timeshare. Especially in favorable matchups with positive game script, both of them can get there.
Against the Cardinals, Corum ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns, posting a season high 26.1 fantasy points.
The next two matchups aren't great against the Lions and Seahawks, but if you can make it to Week 17, Corum is very viable against the Falcons.

FAQ
What Is PPR in Fantasy Football?
PPR stands for “point per reception.” It means exactly what it says. PPR dictates how much a reception is worth in fantasy football.
The impact that PPR scoring has on running backs is interesting because it is not a primary part of every running back's game. Every receiver catches passes, usually a lot of them, but not every running back is successful because of their pass-catching prowess. Therefore, PPR scoring can change the outlook of the RB position entirely, boosting up some lesser-known backs who have a tendency to catch the ball, and bringing some of the elite runners back closer to the pack.
What Is the Difference Between PPR and Non-PPR
There is a very stark contrast between PPR scoring and non-PPR scoring. In non-PPR, receptions don’t matter … at all. The only relevance receptions have is how they relate to the yards a player attains on those receptions.
One of the primary criticisms of PPR scoring is that it rewards unproductive plays. If a running back carries the ball 15 times for 90 yards, that’s a really efficient performance. Yet, a wide receiver racking up an inefficient seven catches for 40 yards is going to outscore that running back by 2.0 PPR fantasy points.
