1 Jahmyr Gibbs DET 6 1 276 1360 14 69 570 4 301
He was already an elite fantasy producer with RB David Montgomery on the roster, and now he is gone; He will get all the goal carries, as RB Isiah Pacheco is strictly a backup and only a handcuff for Gibbs.
2 Bijan Robinson ATL 11 2 284 1420 9 73 740 4 294
He is just as talented as Gibbs, but does not get the top spot simply because the Falcons QBs are not as talented as QB Jared Goff, likely meaning less scoring chances for Bijan than Jahmyr.
3 Jonathan Taylor IND 13 2 320 1540 15 43 340 2 290
He showed in 2025 that he is far from done, scoring a whopping 20 TDs; As long as QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) is healthy by week #1, J.T. should produce well again in 2026.
4 Christian McCaffrey SF 8 1 286 1130 10 78 730 4 270
He has been an elite talent in this league for a long time and the drop-off has been negligible; In fact, he is a better pass-catcher right now than runner, but the total touches and goal line scores keep him a top 2 Tier RB for fantasy in 2026.
5 Derrick Henry BAL 13 2 299 1510 16 16 160 1 269
He just keeps going; In a down season seen by some, Henry still totaled 1,700+ total yards and 16 scores in 2025; I do not see him slowing down in 2026; The guy is special.
6 James Cook BUF 7 2 297 1540 11 34 290 2 261
He really surprised me with his nose for the goal in 2025 coming off such an efficient 2024; He proved he can carry a full load as the workhorse back in 2025 with 309 carries; He can carry your fantasy team now and again, as he scored multiple times in 4 games in 2025; He scored at least 26 PPR points in those four games.
7 Devon Achane MIA 6 1 234 1280 7 64 480 4 242
He has been very consistent in his RB1 production in the past few years; The offense overall may struggle in 2026, but Achane is a special talent, so he will get "his" no matter the outcome; His low PPR score in 2025 was 12.8.
8 Saquon Barkley PHI 10 1 294 1360 9 49 390 2 241
Despite his "down" season in 2025, he still totaled more than 1,400 total yards and 9 scores, so the thought that he fell off a cliff is simply not true; He can and should catch more than just 37 passes in 2026; I feel comfortable taking him as my RB1 in the middle of round #2 if I can get an elite WR1 with my first pick in a fantasy draft.
9 Chase Brown CIN 6 1 263 1170 9 63 430 4 238
He is a multi-talented threat and as long as QB Joe Burrow stays healthy, he will push to be a top 5 RB1 in 2026; He is a lock to catch at least 65 passes this season.
10 Ashton Jeanty LV 13 1 275 1080 8 57 390 4 219
He had a bad season as a rookie, right? Think again. He finished as the RB13 overall in PPR leagues, totaling 1,300+ yards and 10 scores, five via the pass; He should get better QB play from QB Kirk Cousins in 2026, giving him a chance to be a solid RB1 for fantasy; He averaged only 3.66 YPC in 2025, so if he can just get that up to 4.2, his average points per game would go up nearly a full point!
