Despite his recent arrest, Ollie Gordon is set to have a strong season with the Cowboys this year. He is the best-ranked RB in the game, with a rating of 96. His prior performances back these up.

#2. Quinshon Judkins (Ohio State Buckeyes)

#3. Jaydn Ott (California Golden Bears)
California has been average over the last few years, but Jaydn Ott has been anything but. In 2023, he recorded 1,305 yards and scored 12 touchdowns, and was the key part of the Golden Bears offense. For this, he has been given a rating of 93.
