Week 4 RB Rankings: 2025 Fantasy Football Rankings

Week 4 RB Rankings: 2025 Fantasy Football Rankings

Published:

By: Zach Thompson

We’re three weeks into the season, and we’ve already had some huge shifts in the running back landscape for fantasy football, along with some superstars who have re-asserted their dominance. Running back is a volatlie position from week to week with injuries and timeshars that shift. In Week 4, we get all 32 teams in action again before bye weeks get underway. To help you with your tough lineup decisions, you can find my top 30 RB rankings for Week 4 listed below.

Before we get to Week 4, let’s look back quickly at the top RB performances from Week 3. The top back of the week for the second week in a row was Jonathan Taylor (35.8 FPTS). Just behind him, Jordan Mason (26.6 FPTS) stepped in as a featured back with Aaron Jones Sr. (hamstring) on IR. Omarion Haptom (24.9 FPTS) and Cam Skattebo (24.1 FPTS) stepped up as rookies with the veteran piece of their timeshare suffering an injury, while Christian McCaffrey (24 FPTS) and James Cook (23.8 FPTS) continued their strong seasons as well.

While there are still some key running backs set to play on Monday Night Football, it’s not too early to start peeking ahead to what to do in your Week 4 lineup. Since the landscape of the running back position is constantly shifting, it’s critical to keep up with the matchups and projected playing time from week to week. DraftKings Network has coverage to help you with all your lineup choices throughout the week, with the latest news and injury updates.

As part of our coverage, each Monday throughout the season, I’ll deliver my RB rankings. Since these rankings debut on Monday, anything that changes throughout the week will need to be adjusted accordingly before kickoff.
