Derrick Henry and Jahmyr Gibbs lead my Top-50 fantasy football running back rankings for Week 9 of the 2025 season.
Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson join Henry and Gibbs inside my Top 5. James Cook, De’Von Achane, Josh Jacobs, Javonte Williams and D’Andre Swift are my other Top-10 options.
My Week 9 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.
