MIAMI, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Jahmyr Gibbs and Jonathan Taylor lead my Top-50 fantasy football running back rankings for Week 9 of the 2025 season.
Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson and James Cook join Gibbs and Taylor inside my Top 5. Josh Jacobs, Javonte Williams, D'Andre Swift, Kyren Williams and Tyrone Tracy Jr. are my other Top-10 options.
My Week 9 quarterback and wide receiver rankings can be found here. My waiver-wire and free agent targets for Week 9 are available here.
All of my positional rankings will be updated until Week 9 kickoffs. Players also will be moved out of or adjusted within the rankings based on injuries.
Be sure to monitor your lineups for injury developments. Players from the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are on bye, should not be in starting lineups. Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens running backs, who played Thursday, were also removed from my rankings.
