BLACKSBURG, VIRGINIA – OCTOBER 17: Bhayshul Tuten #33 of the Virginia Tech Hokies runs the ball for … More
Prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, I wrote an article on 3 running backs to buy in dynasty fantasy football. It seems like that was very well received, so my plan is to give you guys a new and updated list every month going forward.
With the NFL Draft shaking things up, it’s time to reevaluate. Tank Bigsby and Rhamondre Stevenson were sleepers that didn’t work out, but J.K. Dobbins is still a great buy.
Below, we’ll be going over three running backs who are valued way too low in dynasty fantasy football. The baseline rankings that we’ll use for this list are from Keep Trade Cut.
3 Running Backs To Buy In Dynasty Fantasy Football
Bhayshul Tuten
KTC Value: RB33
Bhayshul Tuten is a great value in dynasty right now. On paper, the Jacksonville Jaguars situation doesn’t look great.
Right now, you have Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby in front of him, which is a worry. However, Etienne is set to hit free agency in 2026 and Bigsby wasn’t drafted by the current regime.
New head coach Liam Coen was only a part of the Jaguars when Tuten was drafted, meaning he likely had input there. Even though Bigsby is a solid player, he’ll likely just be the secondary back until 2027, when his contract is up.
Tuten is a super explosive back on an offense that has a ton of potential with Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr and Trevor Lawrence. When looking at two PFF numbers, Tuten had a 143.2 elusive rating and 4.4 yards after contact per attempt.
The main concern with Tuten is that he had nine total fumbles in 2023 and 2024. That’s a big concern, but if Tuten can clean that up, he’s poised to be a star in the NFL.
Jaydon Blue
KTC Value: RB37
In both redraft and dynasty formats, Jaydon Blue is a great player to own. I’ll keep this a bit shorter because I talked about Blue in my “Late Round Running Backs To Draft” article, which you can find here.
The takeaway from my Blue breakdown is that the Cowboys are a good offense with a wide open path for a lead running back to emerge. On top of that, Blue looked good in a small sample at Texas.
Per PFF, Blue had a 113.1 elusive rating, which was near the top percentile in college football and you can say the same about his yards after contact per attempt at 3.83. At the price of RB37, it wouldn’t shock me at all if Blue becomes a top 24 dynasty running back if he wins the starting job in Dallas.
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – NOVEMBER 05: Kendre Miller #25 of the New Orleans Saints warms up prior to … More
Kendre Miller
KTC Value: RB64
Since coming into the NFL, Kendre Miller has been disappointing. After getting day two draft capital, many expected Miller to take the starting role from Alvin Kamara at some point. Or, at the very least, have a contributing role.
Due to a mix between injuries and other issues, Miller has failed to run for more than 200 yards in either of his first two seasons. That said, the day two hit rate for running backs is fairly strong. According to data from DynastyFFDino on Reddit, third round running backs have a 35% chance of becoming an RB2.
If Miller has an RB2 season, his value will skyrocket from RB64. In that case, even if you don’t believe in Miller, you’ll get a massive value win.
I’ve watched Miller at TCU and he passed the eye test, but another way to verify this is with PFF. Miller had an 88.5 PFF run grade, 3.64 yards after contact per attempt and a 119.9 elusive rating.
Even after a disappointing few years, the only back that Miller really has to compete with is a 6th round rookie, Devin Neal.
