Undoubtedly, the consensus RB1 in 2025 will be Saquon Barkley after arguably the greatest season we have ever seen from the position. Over 2,000 rushing yards as the only skill player to average more than 20 points per game in half-PPR. He led the NFL in touches with nearly 500...running effectively behind the league's best OL.
But as was the case with Christian McCaffrey last season...leading the NFL in touches by such a vast margin is essentially the kiss of death for running backs the following year.
Only two RBs finished as RB1s the following year after leading the NFL in touches since 2013. Ezekiel Elliott is the only one over that period to finish inside the top 5.

A.J. Brown finished last year as the WR10 in points per game (14.1) and WR18 overall having missed 3.5 games with injuries.
AJB was the only WR to command over 50% of his team's total air yards ranking 1st in the NFL with a 51% air yards share. He also finished second with a 30% target share.
His 46% top 12 weekly finisher rate was the second highest among all WRs to only Mike Evans. He had 5 100-yard games - tied for the most among all WRs through 17 games.
The 28-year-old is still an elite WR, and he will benefit greatly if the Eagles' combination of ground game and defense experiences regression in 2025.

Only Lamar Jackson scored more fantasy points on a higher rate per dropback than Jalen Hurts. The Super Bowl MVP finished the season averaging over 22 points per game as the QB5. His strong postseason is a reminder that Hurts is an elite fantasy commodity and should be drafted as such with a great supporting cast returning. The Eagles QB has rushed for 13-plus TDs in three straight seasons. In the tush push, we trust.
And if a combination of Saquon Barkley and the Eagles defense take a step back in any way, Hurts would become a major fantasy winner after leading the NFL's most run-heavy offense.

Dallas Goedert finished as the overall TE27 in 2024 (10 games). But the Eagles tight end was effective when healthy, tied for the fourth highest top 12 finisher rate at 56%.
Including the postseason, Goedert was TE12 in points per game (8.6), and TE15 in expected fantasy points per game.
But as is always the case with Goedert, he will likely remain in that awkward low-end TE1 conversation as he has been throughout his career. His half-PPR finishes since 2024: 15, 11, 10, 21 (11 games), 10, 21 and 27 (10 games). Just once has he scored at least five TDs.
His high-end production is almost exclusively tied to when either A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith misses time.
Dating back to 2023, Goedert has gone UNDER 4.5 receptions in 10 of his last 15 games (64%) with his two receiver teammates healthy. He Went UNDER in all but two games this season alongside a healthy Brown and Smith (both against the division-rival Washington Commanders).
