1 | Saquon Barkley
Draft Note
Barkley finished as the fantasy RB1 in 2024, racking up 2,005 rushing yards, 278 receiving yards, and 15 total touchdowns while averaging 21.2 half-PPR points per game. He was the engine of the Eagles’ offense, handling a massive workload with little competition for touches. With Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith still in place, the unit remains dangerous and should continue to generate scoring opportunities. Barkley’s elite volume and goal-line role make him one of the safest picks in fantasy, and if the offense takes a step forward in 2025, he has a real shot to repeat as the overall RB1.
| PHI | 9 | 367 | 1.04 | 1.04 | 3 | 2 | 248 | 1553 | 9.2 | 77.8 | 35 | 225 | 1.8 | 10.4 | 2 | |
2 | Christian McCaffrey
Draft Note
McCaffrey is coming off a lost 2024 season, playing in just four games and finishing as the RB30 on a per-game basis after battling a PCL sprain and a nagging Achilles issue. Now 29 years old with 20 missed games over the last three seasons, durability is a legitimate concern. That said, his ceiling remains unmatched when he’s healthy—just two years ago, he was the overall RB1 and outscored the RB2 (Raheem Mostert) by more than 100 half-PPR points. He participated fully in 49ers minicamp and appears on track for a full workload heading into 2025. San Francisco’s offense is still loaded with playmakers and remains one of the most efficient scoring units in the league. If McCaffrey can stay on the field, he still has league-winning upside. The risk is higher than in years past, but so is the potential reward—he’s a high-variance RB1 with overall RB1 in his range of outcomes.
| SF | 14 | 357 | 1.07 | 1.07 | 4 | 2 | 274 | 1207 | 6.7 | 60.5 | 49 | 509 | 1.7 | 23.2 | 2 | |
3 | Derrick Henry
Draft Note
Henry rushed for nearly 2,000 yards (1,921), and scored 18 total touchdowns. He should continue to defy Father Time, at least for one more season, probably more. He looked great last year, posting the highest yards after contact per attempt (2.8), the fourth-highest yards before contact per attempt (3.1) and the most broken tackles per attempt (0.13). He also posted the highest run grade (93.5) at PFF.
| BAL | 7 | 356 | 1.11 | 2.01 | 5 | 2 | 233 | 1521 | 12.7 | 76.2 | 15 | 144 | 0.9 | 6.5 | 2 | |
4 | Bijan Robinson
Draft Note
Robinson finished as the fantasy RB4 in 2024, racking up 1,456 rushing yards, 431 receiving yards, and 15 total touchdowns while averaging 17.6 half-PPR points per game. He saw a big jump in usage and efficiency with a more consistent offensive structure under Zac Robinson, and now he’ll enter 2025 with Michael Penix Jr. under center. While young quarterbacks can be volatile, Penix’s downfield ability could help open up space underneath for Robinson in both the run and pass game. The Falcons didn’t add serious backfield competition, so Bijan should once again be in line for 300+ touches. With a playcaller committed to using him as a true three-down weapon, Robinson is locked in as a top-five fantasy back with a realistic path to finish as the overall RB1.
| ATL | 5 | 356 | 1.02 | 1.02 | 1 | -3 | 245 | 1159 | 12.5 | 58.1 | 46 | 367 | 1.1 | 16.8 | 2 | |
5 | Ashton Jeanty
Draft Note
In his final collegiate season, Jeanty racked up 2,739 total yards and 30 touchdowns for Boise State. His receiving numbers (23-238-1) were modest, but he was far more utilized as a receiver in the previous season (43-569-5), so he has the receiving chops to be a dual-threat in the NFL. The Raiders struggled to run the ball last year (3.6 YPC as a team), and Jeanty should vastly improve the team's per carry and overall production. He's a dual threat and should see a bell cow workload, so he's a threat for fantasy RB1 numbers from the get-go. The only knocks on his game appear to be his shaky pass protection and suspect ball security. The former might impact his snaps if the Raiders elect to pull him out on obvious passing downs. Regardless, I’m expecting a huge workload, and that should lead to RB1 fantasy production. Follow the touches.
| LV | 8 | 355 | 1.10 | 1.10 | 6 | 1 | 272 | 1193 | 7.9 | 59.8 | 54 | 413 | 2.1 | 18.9 | 3 | |
6 | Jahmyr Gibbs
Draft Note
Gibbs finished as the RB3 in half-PPR in 2024, piling up 1,412 rushing yards, 517 receiving yards, and 20 total touchdowns while averaging 18.3 fantasy points per game. In the three games that David Montgomery missed, Gibbs exploded for 30.4 fantasy points per game, but he still averaged a rock-solid 17.6 in the 14 games they played together—proof that he doesn't need a full workload to deliver elite production. The Lions will have a new playcaller in 2025 after Ben Johnson took a head coaching job, which introduces a bit of uncertainty, but the offense still projects to be one of the league’s best with Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and an elite offensive line in place. Gibbs is a high-floor, high-ceiling RB1 and a worthy first-round pick in all formats.
| DET | 8 | 340 | 1.03 | 1.03 | 2 | -4 | 202 | 1107 | 10.8 | 55.5 | 43 | 400 | 2.7 | 18.2 | 2 | |
7 | Bucky Irving
Draft Note
Irving finished RB16 on the year, so uninformed drafters may view him as a fantasy RB2, but he’s a clear, rock-solid RB1 in my book thanks to his productivity after the first month of the season. He started seeing more touches in Week 6, and from that point on, he was the fantasy RB8. He had the fourth-highest PFF rush grade in that span, and was fifth in yards after contact per attempt on the season. HC Todd Bowles told The Athletic that he “expects greatness” and that Irving’s “opportunities are likely to increase substantially.” He’s a baller and has a great future ahead of him.
| TB | 9 | 339 | 2.10 | 3.02 | 11 | 4 | 236 | 1231 | 6.3 | 61.7 | 50 | 426 | 1.8 | 19.5 | 2 | |
8 | Jonathan Taylor
Draft Note
Taylor enters his age-26 season still firmly in his prime, but durability remains a concern—he’s missed 16 games over the last three years. In 2024, he played 14 games and finished as the fantasy RB14, but was RB8 on a per-game basis, racking up 1,567 total yards and 12 touchdowns on 321 touches. While he hasn’t been much of a receiving threat the last two seasons (just 1.5 catches per game), he showed pass-catching upside early in his career (76 receptions across his first two seasons), and his receiving role could grow if Daniel Jones wins the starting job. Last season, Jones targeted running backs on 13.5% of his throws compared to just 7.8% for Anthony Richardson over the past two seasons. Taylor was efficient before contact (6th out of 46 qualified backs) but struggled to create after it, ranking 36th in yards after contact per attempt and 35th in broken tackle rate. That could be a function of injury, usage, or offensive design, but it’s something to monitor. Taylor is a strong bet for 300+ touches again in 2025 and remains a midrange RB1 with top-five upside if he can stay on the field and see a bump in receiving usage.
| IND | 11 | 322 | 2.07 | 2.09 | 8 | 0 | 258 | 1263 | 11.6 | 63.3 | 21 | 111 | 1.0 | 5.2 | 2 | |
9 | Josh Jacobs
Draft Note
After leading the league in rushing in 2022 with 1,653 yards, Jacobs missed four games in 2023 and ultimately signed with the Packers last spring. He finished as the fantasy RB5 overall with 337 touches for 1,671 total yards and 16 touchdowns. At 27 years old, he’s still in his prime and now entrenched as the lead back in a high-scoring Packers offense orchestrated by Matt LaFleur. He ranked just 32nd in yards before contact per attempt among 46 qualified backs, but he more than made up for it with elite tackle-breaking and post-contact production. He was 8th in yards after contact per attempt, 3rd in broken tackles per attempt, and earned the 5th-highest rushing grade at PFF. That kind of efficiency, paired with a huge workload and goal-line role in a top-tier offense, makes Jacobs a rock-solid RB1. He's a dual threat with dependable volume and a nose for the end zone.
| GB | 5 | 322 | 2.06 | 2.08 | 9 | 0 | 246 | 1203 | 9.3 | 60.3 | 31 | 262 | 0.9 | 12.0 | 2 | |
10 | Kyren Williams
Draft Note
He’s 25 years old, finished as the RB6 last season, and was third in touches per game (21.9). He was undervalued last year after the Rams drafted Blake Corum, and he appears to be undervalued again this season. The only thing that gives me pause about the 24-year-old Williams is his propensity to fumble the ball. He had five fumbles last year and three the year before, but in the season after the Rams drafted Corum, Williams handled a career-high 350 touches for 1,481 total yards and 16 touchdowns. Corum only averaged 3.6 yards per carry, so he didn’t do anything to justify a lead-back role in 2025.

What is the best draft position in SFB14 drafts?
There is an argument for all three parts of the draft in SFB14 as the top few picks are guaranteed an elite QB in this superflex format. In the middle of the draft you are in a good spot to not miss out on any crazy runs, and if you select at the end of the draft order, drafters can take advantage of the third-round reversal and get three picks within the first 25 players.
What is the best draft strategy in SFB14 drafts?
With the scoring as crazy as it is, there is no best strategy for SFB14. In a tournament of this size, being different helps so try to think outside of the box when drafting.
What is SFB14 ADP?

What is the best first-round pick in SFB14 Drafts?
There is no right answer here, as it depends on your specific strategy going into the SFB14 draft. It is a Superflex format with an emphasis on the rushing quarterback, so if you would like to have an elite quarterback, then select Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, or Lamar Jackson. Only one RB needs to start in 2024, so grabbing a top rusher like Christian McCaffrey or Breece Hall could be the way to get out to a solid start. The scoring is also TE premium, so taking Travis Kelce or Sam LaPorta may also serve you well.
