In this episode of The Fantasy Life Show, we are pitting film analysis vs. data analytics when it comes to the 2025 NFL Draft running back class!
NFL Draft and fantasy football experts Thor Nystrom, Kendall Valenzuela and Dwain McFarland break down Thor's top-12 running back rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft. But alongside Thor's rankings, we're also diving deep into Dwain's Rookie Super Model to see the discrepancies between how the Super Model is analyzing this class vs. what Thor's film study has produced.
Discussion points in this episode:
- Is the Rookie Super Model undervaluing Kaleb Johnson?
- Are the top-2 running backs in this class as consensus as it gets?
- Can Quinshon Judkins be the workhorse RB that could thrive early in his career?
We're talking all this and so much more for the 2025 NFL running back draft class!
