Week 1 Running Back Rankings 2026

By the StickToTheModel model. Updated October 15, 2026, after Monday night.
Our Week 1 RB rankings for 2026 are the top 40 running backs by PPR fantasy points actually scored, with the full stat lines. These are real results after the games, not projections. Season columns show each player's PPR total and position rank through Week 1. For every position on one page, see the Week 1 fantasy rankings; for what is left of the year, the rest-of-season rankings.
