The 2025 Season is in the books. For dynasty players, it’s a time to sit back, take stock, and see how players fared. Over the next couple months, I’ll be looking back at the 2025, 2024, and 2023 classes by position. I’ll be evaluating if their stock rose, remained the same, or dropped over the course of the season. Now could be the time to sell high, buy low, or hold on to a winning hand. Today, I begin with the Class of 2023 Quarterbacks.
Stock Up
Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons
About: Robinson continues to be a force on the field and in fantasy. He finished as RB2 during the 2025 season and is at or near the top of Dynasty rankings. And yet, his prospects might be looking up in 2026. New coach Kevin Stefanski has run very successful run-first offenses in the past. In addition, Tyler Allgeier is a free agent, and likely a luxury signing the Falcons won’t make. That could mean even more touches and greater efficiency for Robinson. He’s a near-impossible prospect to acquire unless you want to bet the house.
Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions
About: Gibbs is right there with Robinson. Even in a down year that took a bit for the Lions’ offense to get on track, Gibbs finished as RB3. He’s a force for the Lions in the backfield and in the passing game, easily usurping the biggest role for the team and one of the biggest roles in fantasy. The Lions have worked to improve the offense and scheme going into 2026, which could mean greater efficiency for one of the league’s best backs. Like Robinson, he’s not easily acquired in Dynasty.
De’Von Achane, Miami Dolphins
About: The 2025 season was a disaster for the Dolphins in many ways. And yet, Achane continued to be the lone bright spot. He finished as RB5, often looking like the Dolphins’ best player. The past two seasons have also answered the durability questions. The Dolphins will have a new scheme—and probably a new quarterback—in 2026, but Achane remains a rock they can build around. He’s a rock you can build around in Dynasty as well.
Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks
About: Charbonnet had a strong 2025 season. He was the Seahawks’ go-to player in the hurry-up offense, on third downs, and around the goal line. That came despite the presence of Ken Walker, who ended up the Super Bowl MVP. Yes, Charbonnet tore his ACL in the playoffs. But the team has seemingly issued a vote of confidence by declining to tag Walker, a free agent. That likely means he won’t be back, and Charbonnet will be in line for an even bigger workload. He finished as RB24 this season and could have an even higher ceiling in 2026.
Stock Neutral
Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals
About: Brown had another solid season for the Bengals. He finished as RB7 and continued to put up fantasy numbers as the workhorse for the Bengals. It’s doubtful anything will change in 2026. Brown is still the primary back and has done well in that role. The Bengals were the lone team in the division that did not change coaches. The team still has a robust passing game, too.
If you have Brown, he’s a solid asset, but it’s hard to trust the offensive line, and it’s fair to wonder how long this version of the Bengals will keep going. I might look to move Brown for a haul this off-season, especially if I’m not competing.
About: Rodriguez wasn’t incredible, but he steadily became the most reliable option in the backfield for the Commanders. It was a patchwork backfield for a team that quickly fell out of the playoff picture. Now, Rodriguez is a free agent. Even if he’s back with the Commanders, it’s hard to feel secure about his role. But on the market, he might find a team with steady enough touches to be a low-end flex option. For now, he’s a stash on the end of your bench.
Stock Down:
Kendre Miller, New Orleans Saints
About: It was hoped that a change of coaching staff would unlock Miller. But he remains a frustratingly inconsistent fantasy performer and an injury-plagued player. There is still opportunity in the Saints’ backfield, but Miller doesn’t seem to be the guy to get there. He’s an end-of-bench stash at this point, but you wouldn’t be blamed if you just wanted to cut your losses this off-season.
Tyjae Spears, Tennessee Titans
About: Spears has been a frustrating player for fantasy. As a rookie, his path was blocked by Derrick Henry. In the two years since, it’s been blocked by inconsistency and injury. In 2025, he posted a career low in carries and yardage. His 45 receptions helped, but he wasn’t a reliable playmaker. The Titans have a new staff to turn things around, but it’s unlikely Spears is the answer to improving the backfield. He’s a roster clogger that I’d move if I can or cut if I needed the space.
Tank Bigsby, Philadelphia Eagles
About: Bigsby’s 2024 season seemed to provide some hope that he was about to turn a corner. That made his 2025 season even tougher to take. He played himself out of a role with the Jaguars, who traded him to the Eagles. There, he was barely a factor sitting behind Saquon Barkley. If there is a major injury, he might see meaningful touches. Otherwise, he was a special-teams player and an occasional change-of-pace back. He’s a high-end handcuff and little more. He doesn’t have consistent week-to-week value.
Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears
About: If Bigsby’s role is disappointing, he looks like a league winner compared to Johnson. He never cracked the lineup and shows no sign he ever will. The Bears looked solid with D’Andre Swift and Seventh-Round pick Kyle Monangai. Johnson doesn’t even feel like a lock to make an NFL roster, and he’s certainly not likely to play. There’s no compelling reason to roster him in Dynasty.
