NFL 2026 Running Back Projections

Updated 2026-11-02T05:49:40-05:00

This data was last generated Nov 2, 2026, 10:49 AM and may be out of date. Check back shortly.

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.
