Sort by attribute…
1Jahmyr GibbsRBDET1.2A run-share jump from 55.7% to a projected 69.7% makes Gibbs the clearest path to RB1 volume in 2026.
2Christian McCaffreyRBSF6.0McCaffrey posted 363.6 fantasy points in 2025 and projects for 303 in 2026, with a 381.1 ceiling that still clears every RB not named Robinson.
3De'Von AchaneRBMIA15.2Achane's elite efficiency (98th-percentile EPA) is real, but a tier-8 QB situation and shrinking 51.6% projected run share make the volume math worth scrutinizing at ADP 15.
4Jonathan TaylorRBIND6.9Taylor posted 339 fantasy points in 2025 on a 74.4% run share, but a projected dip to 67.9% in 2026 makes the efficiency case the whole argument.
5Bijan RobinsonRBATL2.2A 70.8% projected run share and elite YPG rank make Robinson the safest volume bet in the entire draft.
6Derrick HenryRBBAL16.7At 31 with a 64.6% projected run share, Henry is still elite on the ground, but age and a thin receiving role create real ceiling questions at his ADP.
7James CookRBBUF9.1Cook's 62.9% projected run share in a tier-1 run offense and 50% spike rate make him one of the safest volume backs in the draft.
8Josh JacobsRBGB35.6A 78% projected run share screams bell-cow, but a tier-4 QB situation and 10th-percentile EPA mark give real pause at ADP 35.
9Kyren WilliamsRBLAR25.7Elite efficiency marks meet a projected run-share dip to 51.6%, making the 2026 volume case harder to build than his 249-point 2025 finish suggests.
10Chase BrownRBCIN15.3A 62.8% projected run share behind a tier-1 QB sounds elite until you see the tier-8 run offense and a 110 floor that trails most RB2s.
11Saquon BarkleyRBPHI11.4Barkley's 2025 rushing title translates into a 57.9% projected run share on a team that added backfield depth, compressing his ceiling without touching his floor.
12Omarion HamptonRBLAC18.0Hampton projects 57.7% run share and 208 points in 2026 on a Chargers offense where no back is taking this workload away from him.
13Ashton JeantyRBLV14.0Jeanty owns a 71.8% projected run share at age 22, but a tier-7 QB situation and 0th-percentile EPA grade put a hard ceiling on the upside.
14Javonte WilliamsRBDAL32.9Williams posted a 97th-percentile EPA mark and 229 fantasy points in 2025, but projected run share drops from 59% to 51% with a crowded backfield ahead.
15Cam SkatteboRBNYG43.2A 23-year-old workhorse with an 80th-percentile run grade and a projected 46.7% run share in a tier-2 run offense, but only 8 games of pro tape.
16D'Andre SwiftRBCHI44.7Swift posted 214.7 actual points in 2025, but a projected 40.8% run share and a tier-6 QB situation raise real questions about his 2026 floor.
17Jeremiyah LoveRBARI32.2The only rookie RB worth aggressive redraft pursuit, Love lands in Arizona with a clear path to 105 carries and 67 targets as the day-one feature back.
18Kenneth Walker IIIRBKC14.8Walker moves from Seattle's thin backfield to KC's tire-fire run offense, where a 50.5% projected run share has to carry a 106 floor.
19David MontgomeryRBHOU49.4Montgomery inherits a Houston backfield role with a projected 41.2% run share, but a tier-6 run offense and thin passing role cap the ceiling hard.
20Breece HallRBNYJ35.1Elite YPG production (92nd percentile) meets a tier-8 QB room that will cap his ceiling all season.
21Jaylen WarrenRBPIT72.0Warren ran at a 92nd-percentile clip in 2025 but faces a projected 16-point run-share drop in 2026 with Rico Dowdle now in the mix.
22Quinshon JudkinsRBCLE53.2A 22-year-old back with a 99th-percentile run grade inherits a larger feature role in Cleveland, but a tier-5 QB room and bottom-tier run offense cap the ceiling hard.
23Bucky IrvingRBTB54.3Irving projects a 67.2% run share in a tough run offense, and his partial 2025 season leaves real uncertainty around a wide floor-to-ceiling gap.
24Chuba HubbardRBCAR93.3A mid-pack run share in a tier-8 run offense means Hubbard's 38.4% projected carries come with a heavy efficiency discount.
25TreVeyon HendersonRBNE62.0Henderson's run share climbs to 42.3% in a tier-2 run offense, but a shrinking receiving role and Rhamondre Stevenson lurking cap the ceiling.
26J.K. DobbinsRBDEN86.8Elite efficiency meets a thin backfield share: 47% projected run share and a tier-5 QB situation make Dobbins a volume-dependent bet after a partial 2025 season.
27Rhamondre StevensonRBNE74.2Stevenson's 31% run share stays flat in 2026, but a crowded backfield and bottom-7th-percentile EPA efficiency make the projected 155 points a fragile number.
28Travis EtienneRBNO40.4Etienne arrives in New Orleans carrying a 235.9-point 2025 finish but faces a projected run share cut from 53% to 36% behind a tier-7 QB situation.
29Kenneth GainwellRBTB109.8Gainwell's 2025 role (26.6% run share, 14.7% target share) is projected to shrink sharply in 2026, making him a volume-dependent dart throw in a bottom-tier run offense.
30Tony PollardRBTEN78.7Pollard ran 64.3% of Tennessee's carries in 2025, but a projected backfield shift to 43.3% run share in 2026 makes the volume case much harder to trust at his ADP.
31Aaron JonesRBMIN121.6A 31-year-old back projected for just 32.9% run share in a tier-6 run offense, Jones is a volume-starved dice roll with a 60.6 floor that demands caution at his ADP.
32Jadarian PriceRBSEA60.4A first-round rookie inheriting Ken Walker's vacated Seattle backfield with a 51% projected run share and a 249-point ceiling.
33Bhayshul TutenRBJAX59.2A 52% projected run share sounds like a starting RB, but a 0% spike rate, 15th-percentile EPA, and a weak run offense make this a bet worth fading hard.
34Jordan MasonRBMIN98.9A 43% run share in a tier-6 run offense with a 6.2% spike rate and a floor that sits well below the projection leaves real room to debate the price.
35Rico DowdleRBPIT81.4Dowdle's 50% run share and elite YPG production in 2025 collapse to a projected 28% share in a crowded Pittsburgh backfield with a tier-7 QB situation.
36Kyle MonangaiRBCHI106.1A 90th-percentile EPA back stuck in a timeshare at 34% projected run share, Monangai's ceiling is capped before it starts.
37Isaac GuerendoRBSFElite rush-yards-over-expected marks (98th percentile) make Guerendo compelling, but Christian McCaffrey's presence caps the weekly floor hard.
38Rachaad WhiteRBWAS120.9Arrived from Tampa Bay into a tier-1 run offense, but a projected 26.5% run share and near-zero receiving role make him a thin RB3 with a 55-point floor.
39RJ HarveyRBDEN100.6Harvey's 2025 fantasy finish was built almost entirely on touchdowns that the numbers say were fluky, and the volume projection doesn't cover the gap.
40Justice HillRBBAL162.9A Tier-1 run offense's third back with 53 projected targets and a 231-point ceiling, all dependent on Derrick Henry staying healthy.
41Blake CorumRBLAR93.7A 36.9% projected run share with near-zero receiving work makes Corum a volume-dependent RB2 with a narrow path to upside.
42Isiah PachecoRBDET153.7A 19.2% projected run share behind Jahmyr Gibbs makes Pacheco a handcuff with almost no standalone value at his current price.
43Jacory Croskey-MerrittRBWAS96.0A tier-1 run offense, a 49.7% projected run share, and a thin backfield depth chart make Croskey-Merritt a volume bet worth understanding before ADP firms up.
44Ty JohnsonRBBUFA 28-year-old change-of-pace back whose projected run share drops to 6.3% behind James Cook in a backfield with almost no spike-week floor.
45Jonathan BrooksRBCAR78.7A 35.5% projected run share in a tier-8 run offense with a 15% spike rate and a ceiling that towers over the projection, but almost no passing-game role to stabilize the floor.
46Woody MarksRBHOU140.7Marks ran at a 43.9% share last year but faces a dramatic role compression to 18.4% projected run share with David Montgomery now in the backfield.
47Alvin KamaraRBNO152.0Kamara at 30 faces a 19.7% projected run share and a tier-7 QB situation, making his 36.6 floor the real story.
48Tyjae SpearsRBTEN146.5A 29.5% projected run share with a tier-8 QB situation and a 35.8 fantasy-point floor makes Spears a late-round flier with limited upside.
49Sincere McCormickRBSFMcCormick sits behind one of the game's most dominant RB1s, but a 195 ceiling and 87th-percentile rush efficiency make him a best-ball lottery ticket worth holding.
50Brashard SmithRBKCA 22-year-old with a doubling run share but a tier-7 ground game, a 0% spike rate, and Kenneth Walker III eating above him.
51Mike Washington Jr.RBLV152.7A fourth-round rookie behind Ashton Jeanty in a tier-8 run offense, Washington Jr. projects to just 16.8% run share with a 25-point floor and a ceiling that requires everything to break.
52Tyrone Tracy Jr.RBNYG146.2Tracy's run share craters from 39.6% to 22.1% with Cam Skattebo leading a crowded Giants backfield, making his 103-point projection a tough sell near ADP 146.
53Kaelon BlackRBSF161.0A rookie RB3 buried behind McCaffrey and Guerendo in a tier-5 run offense, with just 10.6% projected run share but a 221.8 ceiling if things break open.
54Keaton MitchellRBLAC141.0
55Michael CarterRBTENA crowded backfield and a tier-8 run offense cap Carter's ceiling hard; his 17.6% projected run share leaves almost no path to usable volume.
56Trey BensonRBARIA partial 2025 season and Jeremiyah Love's arrival compress Benson's ceiling to a 27.2% run share, but a 22-to-195 floor-to-ceiling spread makes him a speculative dart at age 23.
57Dylan SampsonRBCLE157.7
58Bam KnightRBARIA backfield stacked with Jeremiyah Love and a tier-7 run offense leaves Bam Knight with a projected 0 carries and almost no path to volume.
59Samaje PerineRBCIN162.9Bengals deep backup. Tier-7 run-O with Brown dominating — pure depth play with no projected weekly relevance.
60Tank BigsbyRBPHI146.2Eagles backup at 14% run share. Tier-5 run-O with Barkley dominating lead — handcuff floor only with no weekly path unless Barkley misses extended time.
61Jaylen WrightRBMIA165.3
62Nate CarterRBATL
63Chris Rodriguez Jr.RBJAX129.5A 93rd-percentile EPA back with a 23.1% projected run share in a weak run offense, Rodriguez is a ceiling bet with a paper-thin floor.
64Roschon JohnsonRBCHIThird-string depth in a crowded backfield, Johnson projects just 35 carries and a 9.2% run share with a 0.0% career spike rate.
65British BrooksRBHOU
66Ronnie RiversRBLAR
67Tyler AllgeierRBARI135.0Cardinals backup at 28% run share. Tier-3 run-O is decent but Conner / rookie Love share — pure handcuff/flex value with no weekly path.
68Devin SingletaryRBNYG
69Isaiah DavisRBNYJ
70Hunter LuepkeRBDAL
71Josh WilliamsRBTBCowboys' lead back at 55% run share in tier-1 offense with Dak. ADP near pick 100 is dramatically late given the volume + game-script + goal-line monopoly we project.
72Zavier ScottRBMIN
73Audric Estim<U+00E9>RBNOA partial 2025 season and a crowded New Orleans backfield leave Estimé projecting near zero carries in 2026, but his 92nd-percentile EPA and 199-point ceiling keep him on the dartboard.
74Adam RandallRBBALA fifth-round rookie carving into a tier-1 run offense with 13.1% projected run share, a 5.53 YPC projection, and a 214.7 ceiling that rewards patience in best ball.
75Chris BrooksRBGB
76Phil MafahRBDAL
77Jeremy McNicholsRBWAS
78Jaret PattersonRBLAC
79Jaydon BlueRBDAL162.9
80Kyle JuszczykRBSF
81Brian RobinsonRBATL151.1Atlanta workhorse with 73% run share plus a meaningful 16% target share. Elite .59 spike rate at 24, coming off a full RB1 season. Weak QB tier caps ceiling slightly, volume still dominates.
82Zach CharbonnetRBSEA138.1Seahawks change-of-pace back, 55% run share splitting with Walker. Tier-3 run-O is decent; pass-game role gives a PPR-stable floor with low weekly ceiling.
83Emanuel WilsonRBSEA
84Raheim SandersRBCLE
85Kendre MillerRBNO
86Emari DemercadoRBKCChiefs deep backup at 15% run share. Tier-8 run-O context; depth-only ranking with no projected path to weekly relevance behind Pacheco/Walker/Hunt.
87Ray DavisRBBUF160.8
88Ameer AbdullahRBJAX
89Sean TuckerRBTB163.9Buccaneers backup at 18% run share. Tier-6 run-O with Irving dominating — pure handcuff with no path to weekly relevance unless Irving misses time.
90Ollie Gordon IIRBMIA163.3
91Jonah ColemanRBDEN145.1A 22-year-old rookie with a 221.6 ceiling but just 8.9% projected run share in a crowded Denver backfield with a tier-5 QB situation.
92Jawhar JordanRBHOUTexans backup rookie at 23% run share. Tier-7 run-O is rough — committee floor only with no projected weekly path behind Mixon/Montgomery.
93DJ GiddensRBIND
94Jaleel McLaughlinRBDEN
95Malik DavisRBDALCowboys backup at 17% run share. Tier-3 run-O with Dak. Williams dominates lead — handcuff-only with no projected weekly relevance.

99George HolaniRBSEA165.6
100Pierre StrongRBGB
101Kimani VidalRBLAC163.6Chargers committee back at 35% run share behind Hampton. Tier-5 run-O is mediocre — pure depth play with limited weekly ceiling outside injury upside.

123Kaytron AllenRBWAS165.3
124Trevor EtienneRBCARSaints' new lead back at 34% run share in a rebuilt offense with tier-4 run blocking. Lower share is the cap, but pass-game role plus 7.5% target rate keeps the floor.
