While the argument made by Saquon Barkely in favor of paying a premium for an elite running back has unfortunately been countered by the current status of Christian McCaffrey, whether fairly or not. Regardless of where the total number falls for the position group, though, the amount teams invest in a particular halfback can be telling of how big an impact they expect that player to make in their offense. Whether through free agency, the draft, trade, or in some team’s cases, the lack of free agents brought in, here are four running backs that may be tipping their hand at a breakout year. Javonte Williams – Dallas Cowboys For the first time since 2016, the Dallas Cowboys will have a backfield that does not feature Ezekiel Elliott or Tony Pollard. While that may be a shocking sign of loyalty for the position, given the least amount of loyalty shown by ownership, it also provides rationale for why the Cowboys have failed to have a top-10 rushing attack since 2022. So, the Cowboys have attempted to revamp their backfield, with free agent signing Javonte Williams leading the way in 2025.
