NFL 2026 Running Back Projections

As of August 28, 2026 at 9:45 AM, our model ranks 196 qualified running backs for 2026, led by Jahmyr Gibbs at 344 projected PPR points on a 17-game pace.

Updated 2026-08-28T05:45:25-04:00

Who are the top projected RBs in 2026?

Ranked boards include players projected for at least 8 games. Backups and contingency options keep full projections and remain searchable, but are not ranked — a per-17-game pace is not a meaningful ranking for a player projected to play two games.
